Kipping Handstand Push Up

AdvancedBodyweight

The kipping handstand push-up is a variation of the strict version that uses a leg kick to help drive you up. Timing that hip and knee extension with the press lets you move more reps or push through harder sets. It's an advanced shoulder builder performed inverted against a wall.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set your hands just outside shoulder-width, about a foot from a wall.

  2. 2

    Kick your feet up so your heels rest against the wall, hips flexed.

  3. 3

    As you bend your elbows to lower your head toward the floor, tuck your knees down toward your chest.

  4. 4

    Keep your neck neutral and the descent controlled.

  5. 5

    Once your head is just above the floor, explosively drive your legs back up while pressing your arms straight.

  6. 6

    Keep a slight bend in your elbows at the top to protect the joints.
