Wisdom Of The Week - Wrapping Up The Handstand Push-Up

Hey fitness & travel friends! We are wrapping up our handstand push-up series with a unique exercise. Last week, we talked A LOT in the blog about the importance of working the full range of motion. But, besides practicing negatives, how do you work the full range of motion on a handstand push-up if you don't have the strength to get back up?? Watch below to see how!

Need to know how to do a handstand pushup? Or are you working on handstand pushups? Use these scales to build the proper technique and form to make it happen. Shout out to CrossFit Coaches Marc and Aimee, of CrossFit Blue Diamond in East Longmeadow, MA

This is a spectacular way to strengthen your handstand push-up! Like we mention in the video, this drill needs to be performed WITH A SPOTTER! The bands work the same way as they do for banded pull-ups; they allow you to practice the complete movement by taking away some of your body weight. A thicker band provides more assistance, while a thinner band allows you to support more of your body. It is designed to be done as accessory skill work for quality, not in a Metcon for time. Arrive early or stay a few minutes late after class, and you can bang out sets of these with a buddy! Have fun!
