Keep going, i'm inspired

Doing that is impressive regardless of age!

[@AlanTaylor-v6z]

Truly excellent! And don't think a bit of arching in the handstand push-up detracts much at all.

[@The_Aging_Warrior]

Thanks. I think it's more than a bit of arching though. Especially on that last one!

How did you get your core to support you my arms are fine they can lift me up easily I can do 10 reps of muscle ups but can’t get my legs or body to move up

That's a really good question. I'm not 100% sure (and I was never very good at these presses). But I think you can find the answer in this video from Calisthenic Movement: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWTTZZVqn7uZfLc I think that the exercise they talk about in that video (the seated leg raise) is the key to developing the "compression" strength to do good straight-arm presses. Alex does demonstrate the press a couple of times in that video. Another thing is to learn the press on the floor starting from your feet. Working those will also help.
