Hand stand pushups?

[SlavikHavik]

I can do two of these without the wall... and ive never met my max against a wall (never tried)

hmmm, i might be able to put a short mpeg up with my buddies digital if i can borrow it sometime

It would be a stupid exercise to do. As you neared exhaustion... you'd be less able to stablize... and you are aiming your neck towards the floor. Not smart.

funny-- I was thinking the same thing.... the only reason to learn handstand p/ups is to win free shots in a bar...imvho

I have wanted to be able to do these for a while now, I just havent had the patients to work on my balance. Just think what a kick ass party trick those bad boys would be!

I try handstand pushups for my fitness training. I use them primarily to get strenght for gymnastic. Its not easy to start right away, so first try to stabilize against the wall... until you can stay without falling, then you can use assistance if needed to start doing the pushups. For this my feet are balanced on a wall, legs together and tensed, toes pointed, glutes squeezed. Facing a wall, my hands positioned slightly outside of, or directly under my shoulders.

I also perform strengthening exercises for my rotator cuffs. It is very important to always remember that joints are delicate.
