roman Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I always wondered how one arm handstand push ups would look like... until I saw this video! Check this guy out, very cool stuff:1UqK5CxaSs4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 That is not one arm handstand It's wide arms handstand (litlle to high for japannese) with one arm push up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanPS Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've always imagined a one arm handstand push up sort of like what's in this video at 1:17 but with greater ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Launchbury Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Not really ...In the same way that your feet support a good percentage of your weight in a pushup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanPS Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's sorta like the difference between these two pushups.and(pictures are from beastskills.com)Your extended arm still carries some weight and makes it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Still, it's much CLOSER in difficulty to a one arm handstand push up, than to a normal handstand push up... it's a much more under leveraged position than the example you gave with the normal push ups. I think that's pretty obvious... why are we arguing over this? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffdrc Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 i think that they are a great exercise but definately not a oahspu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I've tried this "wide-bent one arm" push ups and I was very disapointed :? it's even easier then normal handstand push ups :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems kinda strange... The guy in the video does about 20 freestanding Handstand Push Ups quite easily later on in the video, and yet he can only do 5-6 handstand push-ups with the one arm, which would suggest they are much more difficult (obviously, they look much more difficult too)... are you sure you were doing them right?

Real handstand push ups are when you touch with your biceps your forearms and with no wall :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hey, I'm the guy from the video! That absolutely doesn't count as a OAHSPU! I only did that exercise for 3-4 training sessions, and didn't find it good enough, or effective enough to keep going with it. I just went back for weighted HSPU (full range), and one arm HSPU negatives.Right now, I'm coming back from a pretty long shoulder injury (took one year off upper body training!), started training again in August. Have to do lots of HSPU again, and have to get my OAPU back, too. I got it meanwhile, but that injury set me off for a long time! Before getting injured, I was also starting to practice my 90 degree push-ups, and was able to do a straight body/straight arms planche press to handstand on hand balancing canes. Gotta work hard again, and be more careful this time!And it's nice to see my video here, lol. But please, don't think that bad exercise was anywhere close to a OAHSPU!
