Handstand Push-Up
Inverted against a wall, lower until the head touches and press back up; bodyweight overhead pressing at its hardest.
How to do it
Setup
Kick up to a handstand against a wall, hands shoulder-width, body tight.
Steps
- Lower until the head touches the floor or a pad.
- Keep the elbows tracking ~45°.
- Press back to the full handstand.
Common mistakes
Attempting before pike push-ups are strong: the progression exists; respect it. Banana back against the wall: ribs in, glutes tight. Crashing the head down: a pad and a slow negative.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
