Begin the handstand push-ups within :30 of finishing each set of push presses.

Intentional movement redundancy to build strength.

Along the way, you’ll complete a max, unbroken set of handstand push-ups within :30 of your push presses.

The handstand push-ups will be scaled to pike handstand push-ups on the box to maintain the same range of motion while building strict strength. Avoid stacking mats to reduce the range of motion.
