Wall Handstand Push-Up

A Wall Handstand Push-Up is deeper than the elevated headstand push-up by allowing the range of motion exercise to move shoulders down to hand-level. The wall allows for added guidance balance, so the athlete can focus on the pushing strength without arching into it. This push-up variation is also a handstand strength drill.

Wall Handstand Push-Up

  1. Begin in a wall handstand on an elevated surface that allows your shoulders to nearly touch your hands at the bottom of the handstand push-up.
  2. Descend fully, pause momentarily at full depth, and press back up to handstand with control.
  3. Maintain a steady speed and proper posterior pelvic tilt as you repeat for reps.
  4. You can perform these from a free handstand or on the wall, depending on your current ability level.
