James Zedd Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Last week I nailed a handstand hold for about 35 seconds.That might not be much compared to some members here at Nerd Fitness, but it was a pretty cool personal goal!If you have any videos of your handstand holds, please post them below, as I could use some goals to work up to.Thanks.

empeg9000 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Awesome! I am still trying to work towards even being able to do one. I get frustrated and stop working on it. I should really start putting in the time. Check out my woodworking at peonywoodworks. Link to comment
James Zedd Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 @empeg9000 - don't give up! Practice daily as it only takes a few seconds to do this.If you want some advice on how to get started, watch this video http://youtu.be/9hGoTnTCyRoUse a wall to start with and go from there.

James Zedd Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks everyone for your support, and I hope you all get started on trying to master this. It does take a lot of practice, and you will fall a number of times, but in the end it will be worth it.Next handstand hold has been delayed due to another project I am working on just now. Will post soon! My Fitness Pal: james_zedd Twitter: @james_zedd Personal Website: The Ectomorphasis Link to comment
