Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22933 posts	The inclusion of the deficit is causing a nice trained feeling in my shoulders I was an OK strict presser at one stage, but I moved away from overhead pressing in the recent past because I didn't like the stress on my spine and wanted to really look after my body. I had been doing mostly front raises. The thing I like about HSPUs is the absence of spinal stress. Maybe I can get some of my former shoulder strength back.

See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300 705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq	I seen a video of a couple of monks doing free standing handstand press-ups today. They did about 10 without the aid of a wall.

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255 560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	dannyboy73 said:incline press-up against the wall and increase height of legs as you go... danbaseley said: Can you do it the other way for the beginner - i.e. stack up cushions and increase the ROM over time? dannyboy73's answer works, but people also do the stack of cushions thing (or plates, or typically "abmats" in crossfit gyms). You can also do pike push-ups with your feet on a bench/box, to get both the standard ROM and a vertical-ish path but with less weight in hand. Hand width is another way to play around with ROM.

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22933 posts	I can walk on my hands, but don't think I could balance in one spot. I have no ambitions to come away from the wall. It's a shoulder exercise for me.

Considering I live in a 15th century house - and I'm 6'7": pike might be the way to go!!

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22933 posts	I'm now having the added weight behind me (attach to belt and then rotate belt) because the weight in front of me was pulling me away from the wall. I thought I'd inform Sugden of this adaptation
