Wall handstand push-up
Kick up to wall; hands shoulder-width; lower head to floor; press to lockout.
Muscles
- Primary
- front delts
- Supporting
- triceps, upper chest
Mechanics
- Pattern
- vertical press
- Equipment
- bodyweight
- Geometry
- 90° Alignment
- Energy model
- Glycolytic Pathway (10-90s)
- Target feel
- Delts and triceps maxed at lockout — gravity makes top half hardest.
- Progression
- Freestanding HSPU; add deficit with parallettes for greater ROM.
- Regression
- Pike push-up on floor; decline push-up as stepping stone.
Watch for
- Arching excessively — wall banana position increases fall risk
- Hands too far from wall — shifts load forward
- Cutting ROM short before crown touches
Substitutions
- Pike push-up
- Barbell overhead press
- DB seated press
