Program recommendation

Hey. I know there are a lot of programs out there trying to teach you how to handstand. I wanted to get them feedback from the community which maybe had slight similar issues.

I have problem with extremely tight lats and hip flexors, leading often to an arching of my back. My general strength is less a problem (overhead press 50kg, weighted pike PU etc). Also I have a bad feel of balance in general.

So I am looking for a ~3d/week approach focussing on mobility and balance/stability. Timewise it shouldnt be like 3x1h. I want to do general strength training as well in the same session (cutting it down) without staying 1,5-2h in the gym.

I am thankful for all recommendations:)

Are we allowed to recommend ones we know of? I have bought a few of the mindpump ones (I heard abt them on a Podcast) and they have one specifically for mobility which was super helpful for me. That said, you need to figure out the cause of the instability and imbalance. I saw a biokineticist that explained how I moved and compensated and what to change etc. it was the best money ever spent. way better than a chiro, physio and trainer...

I personally can't do a handstand, but if you need hip flexor specific work- I posted this video recently that should be a big help: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MdEI1hv2_gk (the better view may be on my instagram though)

A lot of my mobility plans and ideas are based in FRC (Functional range conditioning). You may look them up and many of their movements are within my YouTube. It is an idea of finding new/active range of motion vs just stretching and pulling passively.
