Handstand Push Up

Muscles involved

Mastering the handstand push up is a challenging yet deeply rewarding journey to test your upper body pressing power using just your bodyweight. To make steady progress in this advanced movement without compromising your form, the trick is building control step by step, mastering a controlled descent before attempting full depth. Do not rush your repetitions; it is far better to perform shorter, clean sets where your triceps do all the heavy lifting than forcing sloppy reps. As you gain strength and balance week after week, you will feel your triceps holding your body weight with complete solid stability, allowing you to drive back up with explosive power on every attempt.

How to do it

1. Position yourself in a push-up position with your hips slightly elevated. 2. Push your legs into a vertical position, supporting your heels on the wall. 3. Lower your body by bending your elbows until your head touches the floor. 4. Push with your palms to fully extend your arms.
