About

This advanced move builds delts and upper body endurance by lifting heavy.

How to Handstand Push Up

Starting Position

1. Stand with your back to the wall, place your hands on the floor, and create a handstand position.

2. Keep your hands shoulder-width apart, your feet against the wall, and maintain your body in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Slowly lower yourself until your head is close to the floor by bending your elbows.

2. Maintain tension in your shoulders and arms, then push your body back up with your arms to return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.

Precautions

1. If you have pain in your shoulders or wrists, or if you are a beginner, make sure to prepare adequately before starting with wall support.

2. Don't go too deep and strain yourself; only use a range that you can control.
