Handstand pushup progression#688

How would i progress to it, pleaee name specific progressions,sets, reps, and how to fit in in the same time frame as my archer pushups

recommended progressions:
Pushups -> Decline pushups -> pike pushups -> elevated pike pushups -> wall handstand pushups -> freestanding handstand pushups

Rep Goals before moving on to the next:
Pushups: 20
Decline Pushups: 15
Pike Pushups: 15 - You can start being a bit more horizontal at first and then becoming more vertical with your torso as you get stronger, as an intermediary progression before elevated pike pushups
Elevated Pike Pushups: 10
Wall Handstand Pushups: 10

If you wish to go a bit higher in terms of reps or feel that you need to to be able to do the next progression well - do so!

3 Sets, 2 times a week - on the same day as you do archer pushups, either before or after the archer pushups depending on which one is more important to you (the one before takes the priority)

Keep in mind that for a freestanding handstand pushups you will also very much need a solid handstand! So work on that separately already while you build up the handstand pushups

I hope that’s clear enough :)

What amount of time would be fine to rest between the 2 exercises

anywhere from 3-5 minutes should be fine - just like you usually do with the routine :)

What about the rest times between sets, would 5 minutes be okay, and im unsure of resting 3-5 minutes between the diffetent exercises cause my arms will be too weak to much

5 minutes would be okay, 2-3 minutes would also be enough

And yeah it’s pretty inevitable that the two exercises will affect each other to some degree; that’s why I said to make sure to put the one you care about more first! (You can also alternate on the different days)

Even if you waited a couple of hours inbetweem the muscles would still be fatigued; you can do it if you want to, but it isn’t necessary :)

Do you think another way to rest is to wait until my arms feel dont feel fatigued , not necessarily how the muscles are, but just waiting to do it once my arms feel normal agaian

3 minutes should be enough really

BTW HSPU -> CTW HSPU -> Freestanding
CTW is much harder than BTW and it’ll much better replicate freestanding, so you definitely don’t wanna skip it

How long should i be doing planche leans before moving on to tuck planche holds

Also, just curious, how much core stregnth is required for one arm pushups and how well does it work the core,
Another thing, a guy at my school said he can do the one arm pushup, yet, can’t hold a lnsot for more than a few seconds, how does that make any sense

Another thing, i did calf raises and felt it way more in my hamstring than in my claves and hamstring started flaring up near the end of the set, why is this so

I can’t really tell you an amount of seconds since it depends on how much you lean; just get stronger on them until you can do the tucked planche!

Core strength in one arm pushups is mostly to stabilise against rotation; how much you need depends a lot on the stance you choose - it can definitely take quite a bit, but it doesn’t have to

And well it doesn’t carryover to the L-sit since it’s just a very different motion :) With an L-sit your hip flexor strength matters a lot too

Assuming you did the motion of the calf raise right, the only reason you could be feeling your hamstring is because you’re experiencing sciating nerve tension - things like elephant walks can help - hampton covers it in a video but I’m not sure which one rn

I meant the time as in, how many weeks of doing it before going to tuck planche

I couldn’t tell you; you’ll have to just occassionally test for it if you feel you’ve gotten stronger and see if you’ve reached that point; I can’t really predict how long it’ll take you
