Perfect Handstand Push-Up Technique

The handstand push-up represents the pinnacle of vertical pushing strength, requiring exceptional shoulder stability, core control, and body awareness. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect alignment and maximum strength development.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Handstand Setup: Kick up into stable handstand position against wall, hands shoulder-width apart
  2. Controlled Descent: Lower body by bending arms until head touches ground between hands
  3. Bottom Position: Pause briefly with arms at 90-degree angle, maintaining tight body line
  4. Explosive Press: Drive through hands to return to straight-arm handstand position

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Insufficient handstand hold before attempting push-ups
  • Partial range of motion (not touching head to ground)
  • Arching back or losing midline stability
  • Inconsistent hand placement and width
  • Attempting without proper shoulder mobility
