One Arm Handstand Work – 7-2-12
Rough clips of some decent holds tonight. I’ve been filming from the side more frequently, as it is a LOT more informative for the handstand. DO IT. Still not where I want it to be, but still happy with the overall progress this year.
One Arm Handstand Work – Start of May 2012
I’ve put such an insane amount of work into the one arm handstand. It is easily the most challenging skill I’ve ever worked. I know I still have a tremendous amount of work to do. There have been ups and downs in training, but here are some clips from the
One Arm Chin-up Vs. No-handed One Arm Chin-up
Here are some 5 year old video clips of my one arm chin-up vs. my no-handed one arm chin-up (wrist holding onto the bar) I slowed down the footage, as the clips were very short in length. As you see, the two skills are pretty much identical, except for the
Always Sunny in Philadelphia Circus School
Took a trip to the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts at the beginning of March to work my one arm handstand – (www.phillycircus.com ) Met Lin Junming there, who was a fantastic teacher. I wrote up all I learned, and my thoughts here – (www.beastskills.com ) I’ll apologize for the
Men’s Health Magazine “How Fit Are You?” Contest
My submissions and eventual winners for Men’s Health Magazine “How Fit Are You?” Contest in 2007. First video shows clapping HSPU, one arm chin-up, and more. Second video, with its 4:30 am shoot time, is decidedly rougher, but I really like the press at the beginning. To answer the inevitable
Assisted One Arm Handstand Pushup
In 1954, Roger Bannister was the first man to run a sub-4-minute mile. Within 3 years, 16 other runners had also. The psychological barrier had been broken. The one arm handstand pushup holds a similar mystique. While some say it is impossible, others are busy training for it. I’ve been
Assisted One Arm Muscle-Up on Rings
Inspired by Yury Tikhonovich and his one arm muscle-up in this video: www.youtube.com I wanted to try a similar skill on the rings. As you see, I try various grips for the pulling and assisting hand. Like Yury, I kick into it as well. If anyone can do the skill

60 lb rope climb
Here’s an old video from “the vault”. A 60 lb weighted rope climb from May 2006. I started working this exercise as a potential progression to the one arm rope climb but found it far too stressful on my elbows in the long run. Still fun to do though.
