If you want to do the handstand push ups, or want ot build bigger shoulders and a more muscular upper body with your bodyweight only, in this video I’m going to show you the exercise that anyone can do and can help you achieve both.

The handstand push up is a desired exercise for many, with is not surprising, since it’s a very spectacular move.

It's undeniably one of the best exercises for developing your shoulders and upper body strength.

I've made a video about its basics before, but now I want to highlight the progression that helped me the most in mastering it, make it more stable, and increasing my reps.

This progression is the elevated leg pike handstand push up on parallettes.

The idea is to place your legs on an elevated surface, which could be a chair, bench, couch, or anything that allows you to adopt a handstand-like position.

It's important to keep your upper body nearly vertical to the ground, imitating the body position of a full handstand as closely as possible.

Mimicking the correct handstand position is crucial for achieving the target exercise.

If your legs are on the ground, your body's angle will be further from a handstand-like position.

Using an elevation is important not just for the reasons mentioned but also because you'll be supporting yourself on parallettes, which inherently raises the whole exercise. I recommend using about an 11 inch high parallette for this progression.

The use of parallettes makes the full range of motion possible, effectively working the shoulders and building strength throughout the entire range.

This progression provides a similar load to your body as the target exercise, safely, without the need for balance factors and compensation, across the full range of motion.

In my opinion, this basic level progression will contribute the most to achieving the target exercise, and it's always good to revisit.

The good news is that it's relatively quick to progress to this level by following these steps. Let's see how!
