@jesiah Great video man! I always did handstand push ups against the wall, but I see how I was doing it all wrong to progress to free standing hspu.

 

[jesiah]

@rhaven Thanks man! Well you've built strength which is always good

@jesiah Thanks for the tutorial!

 

[jesiah]

@kayjeanbaptiste you're welcome!

@jesiah I'm at 8-8-6 on wall headstand negatives, but I still can't do a wall headstand push up. should I just be doing more pike pushups? I'm 6'4" and 215lbs if it helps to know.

@hopeandfaithhealing Do some L-Pike Pushup 5-8 rep range (day 1) and higher rep pike pushups (day 2) and in 2 months you should be able to do at least wall handstand pushups with limited range of motion

 

[hopeandfaithhealing]

@jesiah Cool, I'll try and give it a go.

@hopeandfaithhealing I did wall headstand negatives for a few months without ever achieving a wall headstand push up. I had to go bottom up instead and return to pike pushups

 

[hopeandfaithhealing]

@nobody2016 Hmm, might have to work on my hinge mobility and then go back to pikes, I felt like I couldn't hold good form last time I did them, and it's affecting my shrimp squats too I think.

@jesiah Great roadmap to HSPU! Once I am done with my muscle up progression, I will move toward HSPU.
I hope by mastering the muscle up, I can have a good back muscle foundations for the HSPU.

@jesiah Saved this post! Hopefully I’ll get to fully able to do one someday

@jesiah Good advice, but this isn't what I would consider free gains, free gains would be getting the skill without direct work on it. Like, you can gain weighted dips just by working on planche push-ups and handstand pushups. But doing weighted dips will not provide with planche push-ups or handstand push-ups.

Here you are still working on handstand push-ups variation and progression and regression.

But this is a pretty good plan to be honest

@beachsidebob Oh I got you. I didn't think about free grains when I wrote that but about a freestanding handstand pushup (no wall). Thank you.
