Hand balances and other gymnastic moves were used by old-time strongmen such as Eugen Sandow, Sieg Klein and Otto Arco. These physical masters were some of the strongest men ever to live, and they had the most ripped abs ever seen. Some of his achievements in strength have yet to be matched. What many people don’t realize is that these guys use gymnastics and bodyweight moves to achieve their freakish strength.
One of the most commonly used activities today by wrestlers as well as power lifters as well as many other athletes is the wall walk. Essentially, you’re walking on your hands and the full version takes you over the edge. When you’re first starting out, there are a lot of people who can’t or will never be able to do a full hand stand. If you’re one of these people, you need to perfect that handstand before you can take on the wall-walking challenge. If you’ve already overcome the challenge of a regular hand stand, you’re ready to give wall walking a serious shot.
I will warn you that if you have any signs or symptoms of vertigo on a regular basis, you may not want to do this at all. Doing so may cause your symptoms to recur or get worse. No one wants to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, feel dizzy and fall on the floor, possibly hurting themselves, or worse.
Now let’s get down to the wall tour. First, you’ll take the hand stand position against a wall. From that point, you’ll walk your hands outward from your body until your body is nearly parallel to the floor. To finish the move, you’ll begin walking your feet back up the wall, and return to the starting position as you move your hands back up.
Keep in mind that you’ll want to keep your upper body as straight as you can while trying not to overextend your chest or abdomen. Once you get it all the way back up, congratulations, that was a rep.
You’ll want to continue with as many reps as you can, or perhaps until you drop. Laugh if you must, but doing too much of it will eventually lead to your downfall.
By building the immense upper body strength you desire with elite levels of core strength and helping to regulate your breathing, without a doubt, you will truly push yourself while gaining the willpower to compete. Will provide rigorous exercise.
