Handstand Pushups

[SpeedKillz]

anyone use them in their floorwork routines? i always heard mixed things about them but i have been using them everday for the last month with my pushups and pullups routine, and i gotta say my shoulders feel mosntrously strong. on the inside i can move dudes around alot easier it seems like and my punches feel stronger to me.

what i do is:

set of pushups
set of pullups
set of handstand pushups
set of dips

go thru the circuit 4 or 5 times, depending how i feel.

if anyone is not doing these, do them, if u cant do them, learn!

thought id share about the benefits....

(plus they make ur shoulders look good too for those who care more about looking good....)

Handstand push-ups are great! I do them alot. Makes your shoulders strong as well as developing your punhing power.
Archie Moore used to do them every day, as well as walking up and down stairs on his hands- every day!!

Good post. I dont have the balance for these now but maybe i'll try them against a wall or something. How many of each do you do in a set?

props to you... thats ALOT of handstand pushups.....

i'm going to get the balance of that couture stuff posted for you this weekend. been a little busy and unable to post at all lately.

holding push up are the killer, were you as you hold yourself coming down, then hold your self in the middle then push up to the top, do this for about 5 mins without breaking the push up postion its a guranteed burnout.

How do u do them? Like up against the wall? I want to try them but i dont have the balance.

I used to do them all the time for wrestling, and for some reason i stopped but i deffinatly realized a strength increase. You start from teddy bear stance and just go up from there right? or do u do against the wall?

[SpeedKillz]

yea i jus get into a handstand and let my legs jus "fall" back on the wall, so my back is facing the wall, and im upright and jus go down and up, i jus recently added some books under my hands to get more of a range of motion. love it!
