The Handstand Push Up is a challenging and impressive exercise.

It was the exercise why I fell in love with calisthenics.

It just looks impossible.

But once you finally mastered the hazard pushup,

Despite the fact that this exercise

It's actually

So when learning the health and push up,

there are so many things that

So to avoid you, to make stupid mistakes

and

I'm going to explain

The requirement for learning

the Handstand pushup are at least

Before I start,

and also watch this video till the end.

To discover

Let's go.

The first exercise is

when training for the free standing Handstand Push Up.

Don't make the mistake to do Back to Wall Handstand push ups.

with the elbows pushing sideways like this

and your lower back in an arched position.

Yes, it's much easier and you will be able

to do more reps, but this will teach you bad

technique as this is not how you ultimately

will perform a free standing Handstand push up.

Instead, you should do the reverse wall

Handstand push up with your belly facing the wall.

Focus on leaning forward and bringing your elbows in

and your head and shoulders

forward into a triangle position.

Keep your core tight, your body straight,

and try to keep posterior pelvic tilt

during the whole movement.

This exercise simulates the movement of a good free

standing Handstand push up.

When training this technique,

It will also allow you to go even deeper

and you're already training.

The right technique for the 90 degree Handstand push up.

but aim for

The second exercise

If there is one exercise you need to take

from this video, then it's this one.

For this exercise

you need an elevation and parallettes

so you can bring your head deeper towards the floor.

This exercise is so effective because it allows you

to train to movement in a greater range of motion,

which makes you a lot stronger.

Unlike only training the movement

till a 90 degree angle,

which is needed for the Handstand push up,

you now teach your body

to become strong in an even deeper position,

which makes this range of motion

needed for the Handstand push up much easier.

So when training this exercise, start on elevation

in a pike position,

bring your hands and shoulders parallel to the Parallettes.

From here,

bring your shoulders forward again by bringing your elbows

in while looking forward and touching your nose

to the floor.

Don't make the mistake of bringing your elbows out

or looking in between your feet.

You really need

to lean forward to make this exercise effective.

So once you're in the deep

position, push up in a straight line

while keeping posterior pelvic tilt

during the whole movement.

If you notice that you're arching a lower back,

then it means this variation is too hard

and you should go less deep.

Again,

but aim for

The third exercise is the

This exercise is great

as it will train your muscles in an eccentric way,

which is very effective to build strength.

It also allows you

to work in a position of the new movement,

for the new skill that you're working towards.

Keep in mind the training eccentric,

is more taxing to your joints and tendons, so

always make sure the intensity is good to handle.

Start in a straight handstand position, from here

Break the line by moving your head

and shoulders forward and bending your elbows in.

Try to keep your body tensed and straight

while going down as controlled as possible.

Make sure you keep posterior pelvic tilt

during the whole movement.

Go down for at least 5 to 10 seconds,

and once you've reached

the bottom position, try to hold it for another second

before bring your feet back to the ground.

The fourth exercise is the

This trains your muscles in an isometric way

as you're holding your body in a static position.

This is

I recommend you start by doing this

in a reverse position on the wall

in order to learn the right technique.

As with the reverse Reverse Handstand push up,

You want to lean forward

by bringing your elbows towards your waist

and your head and hands in a triangle position.

Once you reach the bottom position, try to hold it

as long as you can until you lose your form.

you can start

practicing this exercise in a free standing position.

The fifth and final exercise is

This exercise is also great for building

strength in the bottom position,

especially if you want to be able

to do a handstand push up in a concentric way.

This exercise starts in a pipe push position.

From here.

You go down just as you would do in a regular bike pushup.

The key to this exercise

is to lean forward as much as you can.

Try to get your head

as far away from your hands as possible

because this will shift most of your weight

onto your hands and shoulders.

If you lean far enough forward,

your feet should float off the floor.

You can do this either

in a stronger position with your legs spread out

or with your legs together.

First, focus on

bringing your feet slightly off the ground.

This will already build shoulder strength.

Put your hands and push up.

You can progress by extending your legs

all the way in the air

until they are straight in line with your shoulders.

All right, guys.

and proper technique with each exercise.
