Adapting break-dancing style techniques for core strength.

The last time Eddie was on Joe Rogan's podcast he mentioned rolling with break-dancers and being surprised by their core strength. Calling it a "different animal" or something when compared to rolling with a guy who started off as a wrestler or a soccer player.

Has anyone else at Home Planet been messing around with this with Eddie? I have been trying out handstands and sitting on the top of the stairs to my apartment and trying to lift my whole body with just my arms. I don't have the flexibility or strength to do the lifts on a flat surface yet so the top of the stairs gives me a way to cheat the angle.

I'd love to hear what you guys are doing.

Do those hand stands over and over. Also if you have to at first, place your feet on a wall and bend your arms slightly- hold position.

That's for the info guys! this forum rocks!

I'm working on my hand stands, still at the beginner level, but the goal is to be able to master the hand stand by walking and spinning on my hands, I believe it's the secret weapon :)

I will be filming all of my handstand attempts from now on, because if I fall down and take out a chair and lamp-stand again I damn well want video evidence to laugh at.

All i can add to this is that everyone from 10th Planet vista i rolled with feels really strong...and they are all breakers from what i saw....I mean breakdance and gymnastics are similar in the sense of using lots of core strength and balance...

One of the guys I train with doing handstand stuff. This video is from 2007.
