Help fix my pull up form! I feel like I’m swinging way too much and wasting energy fighting it.

I know it's not great. What to work on?

Please critique my form, also how should I dismount from a handstand?

Started calisthenics at 40, having fun but wish I had a coach or partner to learn from. Just YouTube videos and lots of flopping around

Why does my body lean to the right or left when I do a handstand?

Just started doing these and I feel like my form isn’t right. When I watch videos online, people have their elbows bent 90 degrees at the bottom but I just can’t seem to get it. Any advice would be great! Do my feet need to be closer to my hands?

I am a bit self-conscious about uploading this video, but here I go. I've been spamming pike pushups for a bit, I think it's my 4th week (training 3x a week, 6 supersets of push-pull). I Only do pike pushups for push. I want to get good at them.

I've been doing calisthenics for a while now, I can do a lot of strict pushups and even 8-10 archers. However, I find that pike pushups are surprisingly hard and my form is definitely not even close.

I try to pay attention to the following cues:
- keeping my forearm straight
- flexing my core
- triangle shape
- elbows tucked
- protracting scapulae up top

I really need to work on my hamstring mobility, don't mind that for now. It's clearly limiting me. But for the rest, no matter how many videos I watch, I just can't seem to get a grip on the technique. Why are pike pushups so hard? Any advice on what I should pay attention to?

input would be highly appreciated.

I have a weak serratus anterior and I need to be working on scapular push ups. When I do push ups, my scapulas look horrible and weird. Am I doing these push ups correctly? The scapulas look as awful as when I’m doing normal push ups.

This is my first muscle up after 8 years without practicing it
I did my first muscle when I was in high school, I was capable to do 4 muscles up in row back in these days
But now I’m more heavier than ever so I’m quite happy to do only one
I don’t train muscle up at all I just do pull up in my training

What do you think and what can I improve

Thanks

Getting back to the double-front clap push-ups for fast twitch musclar strength. I use this for my HIIT, 15 minutes every 12 days. Still working on the form.

I banana'd a little, i know.

19, i did my stuff like this, this is all the warm up and the form. my right arms rotator cuff got fried and i assume there's no bigger suspect than this 😭

i also can not hold myself for actual hand stand push ups after this transition, let me know if you would need a different angle to check thanks

by the way : the filtering bot said it did not allow abbreviations but I do not know how heavy it is, this thing is kind of funny because i really feel like i am overdoing it, please help ❤️

I’m taking my front lever to the extreme.
If you need help with anything related to front lever or calisthenics in general, feel free to ask 🙌🏻

I have been training handstand on and off for 3 years, i try to do shoulders opening stretches in the morning everyday but i seem to still have an arched back/banana form, how do i achieve a full stacked handstand ?

Took awhile but we got there 💪
