Handstand pushups guide

Learning to do handstand pushups can be a very challenging task for some people. Here I am going to show you how to progressively, from any level, improve your handstand pushups. Whether you are a just starting or are looking for ways to increase your reps, you will get all the information you need here. Before I go on, make sure to bookmark this page for future reference.

Start working on doing these pushups every other day until you are ready for step 3.

If your foot doesn't reach the wall the first try, it's all good, just keep trying and kick a little harder, and if your foot slams on the wall, kick a little gentler. As you keep practicing, you will find your perfect kick sooner or later. 

Work on holding the handstand w/ a wall for 20 seconds then you'll be ready to take on the next step.
