Box Headstand Push-Up

When you are ready to advance to over-head pushing strength, the Box Headstand Push-Up is a great way to reduce load as you work toward a full Headstand Push-Up or other Hollow Body Press progression. You should master full tricep push-ups as well as overhead mobility before trying these. Mark the distance from your feet to your hips, so you are at a perfect 90˚ bend, with the hips directly above the hands.

Box Headstand Push-Up

Begin in an L handstand position with proper posterior pelvic tilt (PPT) and open shoulders.
Your hips should be directly over your shoulders and must remain stacked throughout the exercise.
Bending at your elbows, lower your head to the floor, touching it down just in front of your hands.
Your elbows should now be stacked above your wrists.
Press back up to the L handstand and repeat for reps.
