Handstand Pushup Training -- Shoulder Press Progressions -- F...

First Fitness On the Run Show with Jon Ham. In this episode, we break down the different progressions of the shoulder press -- ending up with doing handstand Pushups on your own which is the penultimate progression of the shoulder press, but using your own body weight and challenging your balancing skills/ and coordination. This progression utilizes a stability ball, dumbbells, a TRX from fitnessanywhere, GWTM, the perfect pushups, and your own body! Make sure you have enough flexibility to do these exercises or else balancing your body in a handstand will be simply impossible! Hanging on a bar can help your Latissimus Dorsi flexibility to make sure you can open up your shoulder angle. This progression can take years to master! Be patient, keep working at it!
Aside from doing shoulder presses with the ball or a chair at the gym, you can do pike presses with both the Ball and the TRX. Add the Perfect Pushups into the mix to increase your range of motion by a few inches so your forehead doesn't hit the floor. Remember to be safe while doing this, and these progressions are not for everyone. Jon is not responsible for any injuries! The TRX suspended incline press is another intermediate exercise before learning the handstand pushups. Practicing handstands against the wall is another great intermediate step before doing handstands on the floor. This will help you get your balance and strength to be able to do the handstand on the floor without help. Once you master the handstand on the ground and can hold it for a while, then start practicing the handstand pushup- the ultimate shoulder press!
