Sternford Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Currently, I'm working on getting a full ROM handstand push up. Currently, I can push up with my hands elevated about 4 inches off the ground. However, when I move to the parallets, I can't push up from the same distance below them. Is the technique different? Should I possibly face the wall if I'm using that to assist me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexX Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I can do full range of motion hstpush ups on parallets however whenever I go to do them on the chairs it is a lot easier (with the same range of motion) I can usually get a good 2-4 more reps. I would say just keep practicing and you will get it but keep in mind that parallets might be slightly harder (for whatever reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternford Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 I was doing them wrong anyway (Hands wider then shoulder width) so now I'm starting at the beginning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I would guess that because of the change in shoulder angle you get less help from the upper back on paralletes, but I'm not quite sure. I don't own an EMG machine But seriously, I think that's a big part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
