Thanks for the responses guys
I haven't been really working that hard on it, maybe like 30 mins every other day, but htat's because of how my weight lifting sessions leave me really exhausted.


At the moment I'm working on doing handstand push ups without a wall, and a 90 degree push up (which I'm fairly close to, I can already do a planche push up)


-----
By "close to" I mean like 2-3 months

I can only barely do 1 planche

If you can planche, then handstand should be no problem.

But before those 90degree pushups, I suggest you get used to: frog stand to handstand

alright thanks

but im not worried about the strength needed to do a handstand, as I said earlier I just suck at balance

Try doing a headstand 1st then build your way up.

It will take you as long as you to find out how to find your balance.
For some people it's faster, and others longer.

Well, I just tried a handstand today on a hard wooden floor (no wall) with no training what-so-ever and I succeeded in pulling off a 5 second handstand :3

Don't waste time preparing and wearing safety equipment, just do it over and over again until you succeed if you really want to do a handstand.

Another example of this would be learning to ride a bike for the first time without a helmet, pads or training wheels. It might seem hard at first but I did it quite easily.

My record in handstanding is like 15 secs..

a Day if you practice the whole day.

Takes no time learning a hand stand you should just be prepared for pain.
