Wall handstand pushup
Skill Tree
Technique
- Place your hands on Parallettes , so that your head can go lower than the hands on the way down, to get into a deeper position.
- Bend your elbows back (avoid letting them flare out) and lean forward while going down.
- Adjust the distance from the wall and the forward lean so that your body stays fully straight the whole time (but not vertical).
- It is common to arch the back, especially on the way up; try to correct that over time, as it is a compensation pattern for lack of shoulder strength.
