This technically isn't a handstand pushup, it's more of a progression towards a true handstand pushup. This exercise is a headstand pushup.

This technically isn't a handstand pushup, it's more of a progression towards a true handstand pushup. This exercise is a headstand pushup. A true handstand pushup requires you to elevate your hands on something whether it be books, chairs, or parallel bars and dip your head below the level of your hands. The only difference between HeSPU and HSPU is the range of motion, but just increasing the motion by an inch makes it significantly harder. Great exercise once you get the range of motion in.-See Less

Did these a few time. Didn't like the head rush from exerting myself upside down. Much prefer to use a barbell.

This really isn't too great of a workout for the shoulders or back. It helps with balance but a barbell and free weights should be used for shoulders. Leave this work out out unless you need to A) Tone, or B) don't own a barbell or free weights. If you're starting out and don't yet have the needed equipment,...+See More

Leave this work out out unless you need to A) Tone, or B) don't own a barbell or free weights. If you're starting out and don't yet have the needed equipment, this can turn into a good workout easily but avoid it if you can. Keep form, move slow, and push till failure. Try 3 or so sets for a good shoulder burning workout.-See Less

I didnt find this exercise overly difficult and did 4 sets of 10 this afternoon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVW2K0wAIJM). One thing to watch is keeping your body straight, otherwise you will quickly feel an ache in your lower back (happened when i first started these).
