Body Builder VS Calisthenics | Handstand Ft. Larry Wheels

 Chris is at One Gen Gym with owner, power lifter, and body builder, Larry Wheels. He is going to take Larry through a crash course in calisthenics to see how challenging it would be for him to execute some of the moves, and in this vlog, the focus is on handstands.

Larry Wheels possesses an impressive strength and physique and is known for his remarkable dead lift and squat numbers; to top it off he has some seriously remarkable PRs (including a five-plate bench press). SO, can he?

Follow along with them as they begin with a wrist prep and alignment warmup routine - do not skip this part - followed by basics in weight distribution. A solid handstand isn’t about going upside down, it is about stacking your body vertically using finger pressure and maintaining that delicate balance.

Larry then begins by practicing handstands against the wall, it is like training wheels for handstands; builds confidence, works on balance and gives a feel for the position. Chris gives Larry tips on the art of balance: hips positioning, pressure points and body tightness: very crucial for preventing a faceplant! He progresses from wall-assisted handstands to pressing off the wall so that he can achieve that weightless balance point. And then it happens – Larry Wheels goes freestyle!

Larry’s transition from powerlifting to calisthenics is a testament to his willingness to try something new. Whether you are a bodybuilder or a calisthenic athlete, we can always learn something new from each other
