So... I REALLY suck at handstand push ups.
I was very bad even with kipping push up, but with some training I managed to get to a point where I can at least complete the wods with this movement.
I wish to compete at RX level (this is for fun, ofc), but looking on the pre requisites here in Brazil's competitions, the only RX'd movement/load I can't perform is strict handstand push ups (well, considering the competitions that I've gone to).
Therefore, I humbly come here on this subreddit, asking for help on how to be able to perform this exercise. I have like zero strength when my head is touching the ground and the closer to a full strict handstand that I managed to do was with a 15kg plate on the floor. This is very important for me, since on my team I'm the only one who can't strict hspu and I have no idea how to get close to them (at least I'm the strongest lifter and got even cardio with them).
Any kind of response is welcome, specially from other tall guys!
We all strive for progression, be it slow or painful.
Thank you!

Hey guys, thank you all for helping me!
I'm seeing a brighter path now. Got a lot of suggestions for negative exercises and with that I'll begin with this as my initial focus.
You guys helped me a lot. Thank you, again!
