How To Do Handstand Pushups (5 Simple Drills)

[@Just.Another.Soul89]

I started some years ago doing calisthenics and eventually I turned to CF. HSPU was a big thing for me to develop properly and thanks to your video it went smoothly! Thanks a lot!

[@andrelordello]

Man you're the guy! I was looking for tips to do this difficult exercise and thanks God, you gave me the right tips. Good job! Keep it up!!

[@anonymous-on2xm]

How far have you gotten??

[@andrelordello]

@@anonymous-on2xm not only once! Hahaha, very difficult!!

From an anatomy professor and chiropractor --- Great job here - also important to let folks know that if one supports their weight on their head while kipping it is the same as performing a push-press with their body weight starting with the bar resting across the top of the head. The focus needs to be upon only lightly touching the head and kipping when the upwards movement has started and the shoulders and arms are bearing the load.

The HSPU are my Achilles heel on my WOD's. I've watched quite a few videos on how to do them and their progression. As of this moment I'm doing holds and maybe 1 HSPU. But I will tell you this... this video by far has shown me better ideas on how to progress into HSPU than any other video out there. The siting dumbbell 3 second hold... BRILLIANT! It makes so much sense that I do not know how this was missed all over the web. :-) Thanks.

[@nathanmcintosh2658]

Nice to see a slow progression into developing the muscles

[@astroboy992000]

This is the best tutorial I've seen, new to CF and have a WOD today involving HSPU, you've put me at ease on how to progress...thank you. Joseph in Vancouver

[@WODprep]

Thanks so much Joeseph!! Glad it helped!

[@latriciamuhammad1808]

I'm brand new to Crossfit. I used your tips for 17.1 for my redo score went from 181 to 212. Watching your tip video's shows me how it WILL BE possible to do MANY of the movements. Thanks for your tips

[@jepoyramos]

Nice. Definitely gonna try the seated DB press. Thanks!

[@adriengoux]

Thanks. I’ve tried for the first time last week thinking it will be easy, and i was surprised how hard it is (I was not able to do 1 negative). I’ll work on these drills ;)

[@fearndome3793]

Thanks for sharing! Starting my progression today, day after thanksgiving-2020

[@sasorijavec5606]

Thank you for the useful information and for the effort you put in and for sharing the information with us. Greetings from Slovenia

[@KO_Adventures]

I really like the seated press options. I am not even close to an HSPU, so this is a great place to start.

[@WODprep]

give it a try!

[@fpellim]

[@whitewolf300-l9e]

You've been a big help, just watched this video and I automatically subscribed, thanks for posting!

[@athan122]

This was nice, I'll try it out

[@luker1hutcher315]

Great tips bro! Alot of people say that you're lifting %100 of your bodyweight when doing pull-ups or handstand pushups........but its not true if you stop to think about it. On the PullUp bar, your fingers and part of palms are RESTING on the bar, therefore that weight is NOT being lifted by you. I know its not a lot, its probably less than %1 bodyweight, but still counts. Same goes for Handstand pushup.......your hands are fully rested on the floor, thats weight you're not taking or moving, so i'd say PULLUPs, its 99%,bodyweight and HandStand, about 97% bodyweight! But im no scientist :)

[@MrVandalC]

Thanks for this video. My 10 year old daughter is using these tips and it's helping her.

[@shelbyforsyth794]

Awesome! Great explanations and agree with starting strict first. Less injuries later on!

[@profitspecialists]

I like the transition to the seated on floor With weights going down slowly for more strength building. Good tutorial

[@WODprep]

thank you!

[@nicholasanderson3695]

I definitely need help with hspu. I have been doing some home shoulder sessions recently (due to corona virus) without the back support and seems that should help. But the motion is what I have the most trouble with

[@aleksandrakrzywiecka344]

Loved this video! Thank you !

[@tertiajacobsz4612]

thank you - not one of my strong points but surely now I can sit on the floor with db and increase my strength -very helpful indeed

[@jamespolack5205]

[@zodiacbull5370]

Very good explanation. So I can build the basics 💪

[@tysonbanks2887]

Man thanks I just watched this and before it gave me an concussion but now I know how

[@extreme123A]

Great, I'm having some problems doing it... and it's been so hard to me... I'll try this way, thanks

[@frinksbeast733]

Second drill might be very helpful - did that only in standing version.

[@arvin8892]

It works better seated because when you do it that way you may tend to come forward or lean back because of the weight, but when you're standing you have more support from your legs. So you have to keep a tight core to make sure you stay upright.

[@gerardoreilly2198]

Thank you! I'm about to do these on my third crossfit class!! Yikes

[@riahyunindawati2673]

Hi Ben, just wanna know how far is the distance between our hands to the wall? Thanks before Ben, ur videos always good to watch.

[@DRock70]

Great technique Thank you

[@MariaDoll]

Really good drills, Ben. I've been doing the box HSPU and working on kicking up to a HS. The work with the DB press will be very useful, too. Thanks!!

[@asexton2020]

Definitely helpful. Going to start incorporating some every other day !

[@machristopheruy8684]

[@thepain7756]

Great video thank you sir

[@SuperKingArmor]

Appreciate this video!!

[@alexandercheikin1882]

How exactly does the handstand pushup work? Like if I weigh 160 lbs would that be like shoulder pressing with two 80 lb dumbbells? That sounds like a lot. Or perhaps the handstans pushup uses more than just shoulders?

[@Andrea04S]

This vid was awesome 👏🏼

[@syauqi0602]

Thanks for the tutorial. need this to developed my HSPU.

[@BSisko-ek6bi]

Great video thx

[@WODprep]

+Jennifer Erstad Thank you!

[@frayedendz1]

100% best video I have seen on this topic!

[@tiffytiffsen]

What do you think is a good weight of the dumbells to press, in reference to the bodyweight, before switching to try the first HSPU?

[@alejandrocardona7188]

Awesome Video! Thanks!

[@videoman191]

Any tips on how to get on the wall without falling back? I guess my hands were to close to the wall

[@BenlaxerPvP]

[@lueegee5790]

[@allenwang4577]

So there should be a certain distance between the hip and the wall? I can see a slight gap in the video.

[@bobbyboshay6229]

Thanks for the step by step ima take your advice 👌💪💪👻

[@mohammedmuddassir2914]

Your video is very useful😃. But while doing this my chest is paining is it ok or not ?

[@Prince-Shogun]

[@parihmar9655]

Great tutorial

[@SudirmanX]

thanks for Sharing

[@dawaby1]

how often should one practice these technics

[@ashishgiri9847]

I think you should do wall hand stand push ups by facing your stomach to the wall not back..it can cause unnecessary stress on your lower back and make your push alot easier..if you do with your stomach faced to the wall it may be a bit harder but reduces the unnecessary stress..

[@morrisangiel]

As always, super solid coaching advice! I will use this!
