Are back-to-wall HSPUs bad?

[@Lucas_SM_Gymnasthenics]

Excellent information and so well put together, so useful for me, now the back to wall Vs chest to wall(elbows out Vs elbows in) debate is ended for me

[@cartoonsong193]

Lol😂

[@Zhadowz]

Back to wall handstand push ups are like my favorite upper body pushing movement right now.

[@rasiyav.a5488]

To master free handstand push up its great if you do chest to Wall also.

[@Zhadowz]

@@rasiyav.a5488 I plan to. But I like this variation. Especially now that I’ve started using a deficit.

[@rasiyav.a5488]

IF YOU KEEP DOING BACK TO WALL ONLY WHEN YOU MOVE TO THE FREE STANDING VERSION ,IT WILL BE A BIT DIFFICULT TO KEEP A STRAIGHT SPINE DURING THE PUSHING PART.

[@Zhadowz]

@@rasiyav.a5488 lol I know. I don’t really care for the freestanding handstand because I rather focus on strength over working on balance & strength.

[@rasiyav.a5488]

@@Zhadowz I SEE,GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FUTURE GOALS .👍👍👍

It's good to hear someone as established in calisthenics as you say that elbows flared is OK. Most I see say that elbows in is the only way! 👌

[@EragonShadeslayer]

This just makes me question his trustability…

[@hamza_cali]

​@@EragonShadeslayerhes not wrong. In handstand pushup, u can flare elbows out

[@EragonShadeslayer]

@@hamza_cali You can but it isn’t wise for progressing in calisthenics skill training, something that he didn’t mention in this short and which is very important. I understand that this is a short though; is there a video where he elaborates on this? If not then I am still disappointed, and besides he could have put it in a comment or something. If you want to progress fast at calisthenics skills flaring your elbows in hspu is basically useless, like doing pronated back lever.

[@hamza_cali]

@@EragonShadeslayer fair point

[@endo_paul]

@@EragonShadeslayer I would not say it is useless. As he explained it has a place for gaining strength.....which is required for calisthenics, so therefore not useless. The elbows in is more transferable for the skill element of HSPU.

Shout-out to Arrow for inspiring me to learn handstand push ups. I can do them freestanding now and am currently working towards the diamond HSPU.

[@MantisCalisthenicsTraining]

Well put, context is important

[@rj12341]

great video, after looking at tutorials I started doing elbows in and it hurt my rotator cuffs every time, now i do flared elbows and my rotator cuffs are a lot more happy!

[@Far-cw8sh]

Chest to wall is considerble harder than back to wall.

[@rekkymarvy]

Very true

[@rekkymarvy]

Thank you for this

[@rasiyav.a5488]

YOU HAVE VERY GOOD FORM.

[@definitelynotkesley]

Its the wall to feet friction when I go down

[@trondizzle]

Bruce lee would be proud of this work out I bet 😂

[@cyeknox1322]

How the f*ck he do that last move 😮

[@isaactrevino7821]

I can only do elbows in. elbows out bothers my shoulder . allot

[@ljuta_rakija]

Simon beast 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻... Both are great but elbows in feels much better and you can go deeper 😊

[@luffebassen]

Sounds like you are describing your fav porn star in a porn movie

@@luffebassen hahahaha

[@borisp9163]

I am uncomparable stronger with elbows out, I have also long arms so my range of motion is big, this - elbows in and even on elevated platform is absolutely sic, no chance for me

[@benardsnell6872]

I prefer doing chest to wall coz I find it a bit easier and stable than the back to wall.. Though I can only give 10rps😂

[@hamza_cali]

I find elbows out easier
