Are handstand push ups as good as overhead press? I can OHP 1pl8

No because gravity gets confused when you're upside down and is unsure about where to distribute your gains

>>40096111
actually its the muscles that get confused and therefore the gains are the greatest

Handstand pushups are the board press of overhead pressing. No ROM

>>40096253
Exactly. It's barely a triceps exercise, let alone a front delt one.

>>40096103
it fucks up my wrists.

how to fix?

>>40096265
Chinese weightlifters do them (with a training partner) on a bench --> more ROM

They are great for shoulder mobility and strength. But if you already have a shit mobility you can fuck your shoulders..

If you elevate your hand positions 12 inches or so, then arch your neck to touch your chest to the floor, sure.

No wall cheating either.

Use your fists.

>>40096253
those are headstand push ups. Handstand push ups have full range of motion

Can anybody do one arm handstand pushups?

>>40098364
Some claim to have done it but it's bullshit, there is no video proof of anyone doing a freestanding one arm handstand push-up, personally I believe it is possible and some manlet gymnast could do it but nobody trains for it seriously so we may never see it done
