Everyone should Handstand Push-Ups (not just calisthenics)

[@fwoggangidk]

The reason BTW HSPU is easier is because you will naturally go for a movement that resembles more an OHP, meaning that the side delts get involved a lot more. The BTW HSPU is actually a bodybuilding movement used a lot in the Silver Era, and nowadays by some big natty figures (Alex Leonidas, Sean Nalewanyj...), and thus is easier. Since the HSPU is purely front delts, it of course will be harder to perform.

@@fwoggangidk what if you do the same hand placement? B2W don’t have to necessarily be wide

[@ronvonbergen3451]

Amazing.. suggested the hspu and there it is, thanks man, very useful infos as always

[@yoo6691]

Really great tutorial, no bullshit. Just what I needed💪

[@chwoottdog2898]

Hey Refael your videos are class mate, please continue making such great content. My HSPU is very hit and miss some days I have it strong some days not, I seem to struggle with slight banana backing on the up-phase rather than a perfect straight press, I have really good PPT in all my other calisthenics moves but it seems to let me down here, I also have weighted dips 60-70kilos decent tuck planche ring muscle ups and OAP’s but this seems to elude me

[@manuelmedina38]

Amazing video Refael, really helpfull wit hthe tricep tips. It really does the difference when you start to be aware of the balance of weight in the pike push up! Would recommend to film the video in horizontal if its uploaded on youtube :)

He is just using his phone. I guess it's easier with a phone.

这么棒的视频应该每一个自重训练者都看，Refael Paz这个视频无疑对Handstand pu进行了解构，并且讲述了很多细节

Not the preworkout powder sick pump garbage you want... but sometimes KZbin gives you what you need. This information alone for most people is as valuable as anything you'll ever find.

@@parkerwilliamson1205 I appreciate it man

[@parkerwilliamson1205]

@@BwStrength not here to say per se what God's work is but if there is God's work you're on the right track. There's this book i picked up called beautiful practice by frank forenciche and it pretty much entails what you embody or practice what you "preach". And I'd venture to say it never was for the physical benefits of training but the mindset 🧠

[@SmallSunLink]

Great content, thanks

[@BwStrength]

Glad you liked it!

[@austin2591]

This is great! Thanks man. Does the 5 reps for 3 sets > next progression model work for most compound lifts, not just HSPU progressions, or are there other rep/set combinations you target for something different like ring dips?

[@Calisthenics4Ever94]

I love your content man keep it up, I have a Question about variations I'm doing a push/pull × 2 I do wall assisted hspu 3×4 to failure trying to add a rep or two each week followed by back off sets 3×4-6 @5gs Full rom elevated pike push ups and dips for hypertrophy, on pull day I do 3×6-8 @25kgs weighted pull ups close to failure and rows. My question is repeating the Same workout twice is too much to recover from and expecting improvements.. what variations should I use in my second sessions?! Should I use dead stop pull ups, change the grip or lower the intensity and what to do for the hspu any suggestions I'm a bit confused?! Thank for your Time. 🙏

[@BwStrength]

Either go heavier, 1-3 rep range or change the grip

[@aaronboyle6464]

Is HSPU Progression+OAC Progression 3x5r on Monday then Elevated Deep Pike Push Up+Ring Chin Ups 3x12r Thursday a sensible rate of progression? along the lines of a heavy-light day set up. I tried doing 2 heavy days a week to race from 3x3>5x5 on HSPU+OAC progressions and developed golfers elbow (obviously) so had to rehab, thinking next time round I'll go back to doing strength days just once a week and play the long game

[@Johnwiccka]

Whats your height and weight bro? Thanks

[@damiengrey2408]

hey coach i have a question. what are your thoughts about exercise order? should i do my pushup progression first or my handstand pushup progression?

[@BwStrength]

@@damiengrey2408 HSPU first. Push ups are more stable and if you practice HSPU you can already do a bunch of them

[@ewbruddauh21]

Do you think having a decent hpu push up can guarantee a good carryover to being able to weighted dips with 100 your bodyweight added? Or viceversa? Would be nice to see more video on carryover between exercises no one talks about it

[@BwStrength]

@@ewbruddauh21 strong HSPU/OHP transfer over to dips WAY better than the other way around. Plenty of strong dippers are crap overhead. 5 full range HSPU will transfer over to about extra BW weighted Dips

[@ewbruddauh21]

@@BwStrength thanks for replying, would love to have a video about what exercises carryover to others the most

[@fshiu]

That's a bit of a broad statement. What if you are trying to improve an intermediate level OHP (say, 120%+ bodyweight) but don't care for balance?

[@BwStrength]

You clearly haven’t watched the video.

[@BwStrength]

To cut it short - I said you don't have to do the freestanding variation to get the strength and muscle benefits. I believe HSPU are unique. They are not the same as OHP. Even without the freestanding part. You can comibe both, doing HSPU as a supplementary exercise for the OHP, for instance.

[@iswallow5174]

Nice video. Do you have any advice for scapular winging?

[@BwStrength]

Yes. Build a lot of muscle mass in the upper body by doing dips, pull ups, push ups, Rows, chin ups. It’s always the skinny guy who has scapula winging, rarely (if ever) is it on someone with a decent amount of size (who didn’t do any physiotherapy exercises).
