Injuries are a part of life. And no matter what you do, whether you’re just walking in the parking, weight lifting, doing calisthenics, walking on stairs, etc, you still can get injuried.
Don’t worry. We’re not trying to make you anxious. Sometimes, it just happens.
But compared to simple movements like walking or push-ups, the risk of injuries increases as you do more complex movement patterns such as the press to handstand.
Press to handstand has, first and foremost, a heavier strength element to the skill. If you want to learn press to handstand and work solely on mobility and technique, you will not get. There’s no option to pass specific strength training for the skill.
However, if you combine press to handstand strength and mobility, you will learn the skill at a much faster rate and achieve a better looking press to handstand!

How much you bench is not the only way to show your upper body strength and skill. The back lever is a crazy calisthenics skill that manifests amazing upper-body strength, mobility, stability, and body control.
Many think that calisthenics is only for the youth. While it's ideal to start young to be able to reap even more benefits, there's nothing wrong with starting during your 30s or even in your 60s. The benefits are just as great, and it's never too late to improve your health.
