Technical description: Handstand Pushups - Shoulder Strength
- Go into a handstand position ( see handstand lessons ) and place your hands pretty close to the wall.
The hands should be a bit more than shoulder width apart and the elbows shoulde be extended.
At the beginning you can do handstand pushups with your hands on the flat floor,
becasue it will be very difficult to do more than 5 repetitions.
Later you can place your hands on something elevated or a training
pod like the one shown above, so that you can lower your body even
further and your shoulders are worked out better.
- Move down until your hair touches the floor and inhale.
Move down slower than you move up and move concentrated.
The heels slide down the wall.
- Then push yourself back up and exhale.
