    I dare not say that it is completely different, but the vast majority are different. Let's start with the conclusion: handstand bracing is far more difficult than parallel bar arm flexion and extension.

    First of all, different positions of parallel bars arm flexion and leg extension can actually train different muscle groups, but in any case, the chest and back can be involved to different degrees, and the proportion is quite large; When doing a handstand, the back muscles and pectoral muscles are actually not good to exert force, instead of the deltoid muscles (shoulders) in addition to the three heads, the requirements for the rotator cuff are extremely high, and the handstand is the most important action to strengthen the shoulder in the bodyweight training system. The parallel bars arm flexion and extension are the pectoral muscles and latissimus dorsi

    In summary, although both require the involvement of triceps, the parallel bars are much easier than the handstand because the chest and back strength are much stronger than the shoulders

    Dear, I'm glad to answer for you. According to your question, you will be provided with the following, for reference only: If it is a parallel bar for fitness, the general requirement is between 250 cm in length, 150 cm in height, and 45-55 cm in width.

    It is appropriate to have the width of the parallel bars arm flexion and extension roughly equal to the height of the practitioner's lower chest. 90 cm is the most suitable. Because, at the beginning of the practice of sleepy answers, the height is not too high, you can easily start training on the parallel bars, and when practicing, the legs can be suspended all the time (unnecessary arm flexion or extension), which ensures the unimpeded flow of the practice and the quality of the exercise, and more importantly, at the end of the exercise, when the arms are bent down, the distance between the legs and the ground is short, and the impact on the ground is not large, which can fully protect the practitioner from additional punches and avoid injuries to the practitioner.

    The main exercise is the pectoralis major muscle, followed by the triceps brachii. As an exercise to train the chest and triceps, the flexion is similar to the downward press for the body. The difference is that when doing the arm curl, you start the exercise with your own body weight, and then you can gradually increase the resistance by placing a dumbbell between your legs, or tying a weight with a belt.

    With this exercise, you can have a very large range of motion.

    Movement essentials: Support your body on the parallel bars and maintain a certain height. Slowly lower your body, as low as possible.

    Then, push down firmly on the parallel bars until your body returns to its original position, keeping the pectoralis major muscle tense at the top of the movement. In this movement, the more the body is leaned forward, the more the chest muscles are exercised. So you can try crossing your feet behind your hips, which will shift your center of gravity forward and give the pectoralis major muscles more force.

    One is the pectoral muscles, the other is the triceps, friends with certain training experience should know that if we train the biceps, the movements are generally curls, and to train the triceps, all our movements are arm flexion and extension.

    The parallel bars arm flexion and extension are mainly for the exercise of pectorals, triceps and deltoid (anterior bundle), as well as latissimus dorsi and trapezius muscles. The best equipment is parallel bars. If the initial practitioner has poor strength, he can choose a bench, bed and other living furniture, and do the same (because stepping on the ground can reduce the weight load).

    The general process of the movement is as follows: hold the bars with both hands, support the arms on the parallel bars, head upright, chest and shoulders, torso and upper limbs perpendicular to the parallel bars, and bend the knees and lower legs overlapping the ankle joints of the feet. The elbow is slowly bent while the shoulder is extended and flexed, allowing the body to gradually descend to the lowest position.

    Stop for a moment and hold your arms up until you revert.

    Be sure to do warm-up exercises and stretching exercises before exercising, otherwise it is easy to strain muscles. Exercise should be done gradually, step by step, and exercise scientifically and reasonably according to one's physical strength.
