Hi everyone,

I’ve been training for about 6 months now, 6 times a week. Every other day I do 3 sets of handstands against the wall, plus scapula push-ups, ring rows, and knee-to-chest exercises.

On the alternate days, I train shadowboxing and various ground locomotion movements.

Every day as a warm-up, I train my wrists, do squats and spinal waves, and work on my shoulder mobility by hanging daily for 3–5 minutes, both actively and passively.

My goal is to build a foundation to learn skills like the front lever, handstand, and pull-ups.

Unfortunately, I’m not really making much progress. So far, I can’t do a free handstand or a pull-up, mainly because I lack shoulder mobility.

Before this, I was into bodybuilding and had years of issues with shoulder impingement.

I find it very difficult to properly engage scapular depression, which is probably why I’m not making much progress with push-ups.

I would really appreciate some support—thank you!
