You may have heard of the hand-stand challenge going viral on social media. It is about doing a handstand BUT there is a catch. Unlike the plank challenge wherein you have to plank for a certain duration of time, while doing a handstand, you have to either remove your pants or wear a tee! Sounds impossible right? Guess what people are actually doing it! In fact, famous people like Tom Holland, Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal have tried this challenge out where they either wear a tee or remove their pants while doing a headstand. Technically, when you do a headstand(sans the pant removals) you generally keep your body in a stable, inverted vertical position by balancing on the hands. It is quite a difficult position and adding a task to it elevates the challenge! But nothing is impossible, netizens actually did share videos of them acing the challenge! Highest Handstand!

In most of these videos, you can see people first trying the handstand and trying to get stable in the posture. However, later they try to remove their pans using their feet in a tricky manner or wear a tee. While trying to wear a tee, people legit have to balance their body on one hand! It is crazy, you have to look at the videos to believe us! Watch videos:
