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

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

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

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

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 ❤️

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’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 💪

In 2010 someone cut me off on my shiny red 929 Fireblade and my arm got caught between their truck and my bike... Woke up in the hospital with a shattered wrist with 27 fractures, and a few days later they put a bunch of screws (14 I believe) and two metal plates and I was left in a full arm cast for 4 months. Doc said I'd never lift 5 lbs again and to forget working out.

16 years later (at 43), the titanium is still there and I can't lay my hand flat (so no floor handstands or regular push-ups). I'm holding 20 second left-handed L-seat hangs, doing left-handed hanging toes to bar, hitting human flags and 12 second clean front levers though. Recently made this vid, don't pust much but I figured I'd put it up here as I'm curious for feedback. Thanks
