This breakthrough technology helped me to master a handstand in just two days!

Now it’s your turn!

Why is ‘arm-supported’ training superior?

It allows you to refine your body alignment at the exact point where you would normally fall over and restart, or without leg movement to the wall, causing unrest in your body. You no longer have to search for this point, but can immediately continue with your alignment. This massively shortens the learning curve!

TRANSFORM SUFFERING INTO OPPORTUNITY

After losing a hand in a near death experience, I invented a tool that allowed me to master a free-handstand within 2 days, and many other challenging physical activities in no time. This tool allowed me to access a variety of Yoga movements that would have been unthinkable following my accident. Soon enough, I even found myself in the same realm as my role-models from YouTube.

Now I offer you this remarkable discovery so that you too can take your training to the next level. Please read below to embark on this special journey with me. It started with a special Yoga block I’ve designed:

Application test of the new block: ‘Float forward’ from down dog:

I made a fascinating discovery; a forearm ‘stability fulcrum’, that rapidly reduced the time it took to hold my 1st handstand because my nervous system quickly internalized the balance pattens if the hands’ balance job is included with a time delay. The stability ‘stayed with me’ even after removing the support:

I realised that by extending the block’s design principle to an artificial arm stabilizer, almost anyone could achieve a free handstand in no time. After I stumbled upon this principle, I went all in, worked up to 20 hour days, taught myself product design, engineering and even filmmaking as so that I now can present this problem solution to YOU.

YOUR SHORT JOURNEY TO HANDSTAND

ProHandstand’s superiority is verified

From Tanzania to Italy, from Australia to the USA, I shipped prototypes to the best teachers and countless users; so that they could trial the device along with their clients. I needed a verification of my idea. Here are just 2 examples. Many more confirmations by leading athletes from Yoga, gymnastics and Calisthenics in section 2.

But it doesn’t stop with just the handstand. ProHandstand allows you to learn more exercises like the mechanics of ‘floating forward’:

The net result of my concept is a dramatic reduction in your handstand training time and a genuine fast-track to other complex exercises resulting in an advanced Yoga flow that you’ve only dreamed about. You’ll soon practice Yoga like your role models.

ProHandstand is the silver bullet that transforms your upside down game forever.

My Yoga classes now have a completely different texture. Cramped fumbling has been replaced by harmonious body control; because the handstand can be incorporated into Asana in a variety of ways (see section 4). If I can achieve this with only one hand.. piece-of-cake for you regular two-handers!

1    The critical leverage point in arm-balance training; the isolated training of different body regions and temporary stabilization of the wrists. Why is this so important? Receptor cells in your ankle joints are communicating with the Vestibular organ. Even if your eyes are closed, your brain knows how your body should be aligned in 3-dimensional space. The hands do not possess these cells.

2    Balancing a body that can bend and contort on the hands is next to impossible for a beginner if all bodily regions including the hands are trained all at once.

Animated image. Please give it time to load.

3    Conversely, balancing a stable frame on hands is completely achievable. Imagine balancing a rigid stick on your hand. With enough concentration it can be done. Balancing a segmented stick connected by wobbly springs is impossible. At the inception of your handstand training, your body is like a wobbly thing.

4    ProHandstand’s design ethos is simple; isolate the hands from the rest of the body so that you can concentrate on dynamically adjusting the various other regions of your body over an extended period of time. In this way, your body learns to become like the rigid stick shown above, and learning a handstand becomes easy – very easy!

5    Orthodox handstand training will tip you over in a matter of seconds, or (at best) force you to constantly move your feet towards the wall. This fatal flaw robs you of the opportunity to reflect on the complex interactions of all the interrelated regions of your body. With ProHandstand, instead of falling and starting over, you can simply sink into the supports and re-align yourself in an instant.

6    ProHandstand provides the framework for an uninterrupted Q&A with your own body.

The time factor

Try to solve a complex math formula. It might take 15 minutes of uninterrupted time. If you’re being disturbed every 2 seconds it takes forever.

You get the chance to reprogram your nervous system and whole-body alignment incrementally and then finally push yourself out of the supports to stand freely.

ProHandstand’s training principle will unlock your true potential in Yoga, CrossFit or gymnastics and open up a whole new world of athletic ability.

The emotional factor

From the get-go, ProHandstand makes you feel as if you are holding a free handstand without any support. A massive emotional contributor to the handstand equation. And once you get true control over your body a wave of positive emotional reinforcement kicks in like you’ve never experienced before.

Herein are the testimonials from some of the world’s most influential Yoga and Calisthenics teachers, essentially supporting the bona fide effectiveness of my invention. Some even contacted us of their own volition to support my project without asking for compensation!

And here’s a reference that even our ambassadors themselves were taken with it before they sent in their testimonials, as well as many people who saw the invention on Instagram:

And it doesn’t stop…

Have I convinced you? Great!

But how does it work?

Your whole-body weight presses on the rear of the base plate and holds down ProHandstand – acting as a counterweight to your forward momentum.

ProHandstand has been tested by individuals of various age groups with all manner of body types and (even 200lb, 6’2″ tall individuals). As long as you don’t aggressively lunge into the device, it won’t tip. Also, it’s unique design allows you to practise anywhere and everywhere without needing to affix the device to a floor or wall.

Slim or bold, young or old, it works perfectly for everyone!

The device’s arm supports can be adjusted from top to bottom to reduce the degree of support; allowing your hands to gradually take over the job of balancing your entire body.

Depending on your fitness level and training intensity, you’ll be out of the device in a couple of days or a few short weeks.

I myself trained 2 days in a row 1.5-2 hrs/day with only my Yoga block, and thereafter achieved a handstand lasting approximately 30 seconds! From day 1, ProHandstand teaches your body to rigidly align itself from day 1, so you get accustomed to the feeling of the final goal from the get-go.

Basic Handstand Conditioning

By coordinating the whole body and mind to achieve a handstand, you learn to control and analyze the relevant areas of your body in isolation. You can do it on your own or with a spotter to get a verbal feedback on your alignment.

High Rep Drills

By artificially stabilising your arms, a significantly higher number of reps can be achieved without fear of toppling over. This speeds-up the internalization of critical alignment patterns and, of course, increases your strength.

Specific Handstand Strength Building

1 Minute hold test:

By supporting your body in the device until exhaustion, you will improve your muscle strength before the actual balance work begins. This is far superior to training against the wall or with weights, because all the relevant muscle groups including small auxiliary muscles are conditioned, which in and of itself prepares your nervous system for the requirements of a free handstand while building basic strength.

Progression Steps

Your internalization process is accelerated if you are supporting certain aspects of progressions in a smart way. One example is the Planche. ProHandstand allows you to gradually introduce your wrists to this demanding exercise.

Planche Progression – Forward Lean: Rather than performing the forward lean with the head against the wall, you are leaning with your arms against the supports. The lower the supports the harder it gets.

Special Shape Drills

Formplay routines

More complex movements can be trained with ProHandstand. Once they are internalized, the whole movement pattern can be performed without the device pretty easily. In addition, a normal handstand becomes much easier when you can achieve complex movements.

Special Yoga Asanas

As a Yoga teacher who masters advanced Asanas and Vinyasa transitions you will be a definitive role model and living inspiration for your students.

Challenging yoga exercises can be mastered with ProHandstand. Where previously you would have had to use a wall or chair or get the help of a partner, you can now train-up independently and with the confidence of knowing true progress is within reach.

Movement ideas beyond the handstand worked pretty well when I tested the device. The arm supports allow you to internalize movement patterns you wouldn’t normally be able to drill in such a short amount of time.

Once you master a handstand, your body also acquires the coordination skills to undertake many other exercises. Variations or parts of it will permeate your Asana spectrum and enrich your entire experience on the mat. More examples:

Now it’s YOUR turn!

ProHandstand doesn’t bite! If you don’t go into a hollow back shape and bend your knees, you will not tip over. Follow the rules in the video below:

There are plenty of ways to enter a handstand. Here’s just one more example:

The potential to lose control, tip over or crashing onto your back can be easily prevented by the following simple technique:

The ‘Cartwheel’

Simply rotate 90° to the side. A safe landing is guaranteed. And if you react too late, this is the worse situation that could happen:

Rather than fall forward and impale yourself on the device, you will simply fall on your feet. And because your hands are not tied to or locked into the device, you won’t break your wrists or your arms. Detailed instructions including extended videos on how to use ProHandstand are provided in our User Manual as well as in our Video on Demand program.

I am an Ashtanga Yogi since 2013 and amputee from the left wrist. After I lost my left hand, I required all manner of solutions and gadgets for everyday life.

This is me before I invented the forearm support block:

I clearly had to devise a unique solution. My new block! By utilising a minimal support, I was able to bring my whole body very easily into balance. Pressing my full weight into a rigid support changed everything. Without the fear of tipping over learning new inversion skills becomes easy – very easy.

And this is my (Ashtanga) Sun Salutation B today:

My new standard. And soon it’s yours!

Once I understood the principle, the potential applications and the ability to help others became very clear to me. I began the design and construction process in November 2019 and since that time I’ve worked 7 days a week, non-stop, on this project. Over 9,000 hours of engineering, product design and prototyping, market preparation, workshops and tutorials have gone into creating ProHandstand for you.

I even teached myself how to produce videos and have done them all by myself including special effects, sound design, text, etc. I am 100% self-taught in every aspect of life.

Extensive testing was performed by me and my team with over 250 people as well as experts from Yoga & Gymnastics. Their feedback made ProHandstand what it is today.

Device materials: Highly stable polyamide and aluminium. ProHandstand will not be broken by even the stockiest of physiques.

With the adjustable support, you can train your self out of the device gradually as opposed to training with a wall that misconditions your whole nervous system.
