GTG for HeSPU

Hi.

I am currently trying out new things to achieve the HeSPU.

For two weeks now, I have done GTG for pike pushups with feet on ground. 5 reps is challenging, but not exhausting. 10 sets of 5 over the course of one day.

This has worked extremely well for me, better than everything else I've tried. Now I can go down until the nose is approx. 10cm off the ground on freestanding HeSPU, and head to ground on wall HeSPU! 

Is this a routine anybody has done with success before?

How would I proceed? Singles throughout the day? Elevate feet on pike pushups? Please let me know your thoughts!

I think the reason I have struggled so much with HeSPU is because I have very long arms. I hate making excuses, but is arm length a factor? The reach between my fingertips is 10cm more than my height! And I'm 187cm long. And my elbows is hypermobile.

Thanks!

Edit: Also I would like to add; I'm doing F1 6 days a week. FL, PL, SL, MN 3 days a week each + SLS, HBP, RC 2 days a week each. 4 week cycle, started on easiest rep scheme week 1, and reaching hardest on week 3. With week 4 as the deload week. Started on PE1 on everything. 

Excellent program I must say!

Anyone?

For starters if yoi are not a climber i highly suggest you look into it with that kind of reach! Do you feel recovered enough from all that stuff?

Seems like a lot but then again maybe you have built up to it. As do the hepu, I found just going up into handstand a lot during the day very day was pretty helpful in itself. I think I was kicking up to handstand about 5-6 times a day for a couple minute but nothing even remotely difficult, just enough that my body learnt the position. Within 2 weeks I went from 2 second holds to 10-20 second holds ( sometimes) and without actually specifically training the push part I could do 3 on a good day from not even being able to do 1.

P.s. this is the wrong forum for this you should have posted in handstand forum

He did post it in the handstand section, but it seems to be moved to F1 section.

This forum is only for discussing F1 related training questions; HeSPU are not a part of F1.
