    This video shares a great drill to bridge the gap when getting your first freestanding handstand push up. The handstand push up, or HSPU, is a very challenging drill requiring strength and coordination with this drill focusing on developing the skill. The HeSPU focuses on building pure concentric force out of the bottom position as well as being able to press whilst balancing.

    I cannot thank you enough, I plateaued spending the last two months on eccentrics, without ever being able to come up, now I've been alternating with this exercise and I feel so much stronger and like I'm actually putting in the training volume that I need. Thanks Tom, this really helped me.

    It’s taking me about 3 years to achieve free standing straight arm pike press handstand push ups I can do 4 reps it’s such a complex movement the mind and muscle connection needed specially if your doing deep hspu Im 6ft long arms and legs which doesn’t help but it looks really cool being built so long and being able to push your weight like that

    A form cue that I noticed was immediately turning the head when you begin the movement so that you're not touching the ground with the top of your head, but with your forehead. I notice this helps me do this movement as well.

    I've unlocked a very grindy bit deep hspu on paralletes but I'm not consistent enough to keep the skill. I get a rep in once every couple of weeks. Since the gyms have opened back up I'm going back to strength training and will be getting it back and using tips like this will be great!

    • @leevickers5747
      @leevickers5747 4 роки тому

      I'm very close to the full handstand push up because of this drill. Pushing up from a handstand will give you the strength to push up. I've got stronger with just need to try and keep my balance as a pus up. Last night I practiced handstand negatives and a couple of times I tried pushing up. I can't remember if I pushed all the way up. When you first start learning it your head doesn't have to go all the way down to the floor, which will make pushing up a bit easier.

    I can do 2 or 3 handstand push ups against the wall yet i only have a good 3 second kick up against the wall. Is this differentiation reasonable in terms of muscel balancement? And do i honestley have any bussiness attempting hand stand push ups against the wall if im still in the phase of learning a kick up against the wall?
    At 7:33 you suggest to control the dismount of the hand stand in such a way that "you fall over the hands instead of back on to the feet". Could you please make a video prehaps showing some tips to escape a handstand in a way that you put "fallling over the hands"?

    • @BodyweightWarrior

    Please more missing links! It seems nearly all body weight exercise progressions from simple push ups up over pull ups to advanced body weight skills include such a gap and a certain drill is missing to overcome a certain gap. For years I struggled with pull ups. Now I am quite close to some new exercises, but not quite yet. In my case archer dip and korean dips for example. And do I pinpoint my real weaknesses for this exercises. Am I just missing some strength and need more volume? Or is balance or coordination? Am I really close to these progressions? Sounds like a description of new series "the missing link".😉

  • @fourboysproductionsfbp3761
    @fourboysproductionsfbp3761 4 роки тому

    Hey Tom do you recommend to add this Drill in your shoulder strength workouts (just calisthenics shoulder workouts in general) as one of the exercises or should this be practiced in a skill training session and do this drill basically in a skill training way like you would with handstands and planche?

    • @csn2887
      @csn2887 4 роки тому +1

      My opinion (take or leave it) is one of two methods: Either to build your shoulder routine around training this skill. Make this the focus and start with it so you have the most energy to perform it with good form and then finish the routine with the rest of your shoulder exercises.
      Or, what I currently do is a split between handstand push up exercises and pulling exercise i.e. pull ups and chin ups. I've had a lot of success with that. But, I've worked up to that.
      Ultimately it all depends on the rest of your programming. The key thing with skills is to train them when your fresh, so always at the start of the session, if you try doing it fatigued you just wont get the same benefit. there's lots of ways you could go about it, figure out what's best for you, just remember, as Tom says this move takes a lot of strength and also skill. Which area do you need to work on most?

    • @BodyweightWarrior
      @BodyweightWarrior  4 роки тому +2

      As others have mentioned, it really depends on how you want to program it. I personally think it works well at the start of a strength session as a skill focus using a set/rep range something like 3-5 sets x 3-5 reps but equally you could do something like 10 sets x 1 rep etc depending on where you are at.
