Wall handstand push-up

Shouldershardrepswall

In a handstand with the back to a wall and the heels resting on it, the elbows bend to lower the head slowly toward the floor, then the arms press back up to straight.

How to do it

1. Back to the wall: hands flat on the floor shoulder width, about 15-30 cm from the wall; kick up so the body is upside down and the heels rest on the wall.
2. Arms straight overhead, body straight and vertical, legs together, toes pointed; shoulders pushed up toward the ears.
3. Slowly bend the elbows (pointing forward/back, not out) and lower until the top of the head almost touches the floor slightly in front of the hands.
4. Press back up to locked arms. Hands stay planted; the heels stay in light contact with the wall and slide a little.
