HANDSTAND PUSHUP AND L-SIT

The handstand pushup is not as easy as it looks.
It doesn’t actually look easy either, I just needed a good start for my post ..

I almost made a whole negative repetition, but I’m not strong enough in my shoulders .. Yet.

My Monday program involves shoulder, back, chest and core exercises.

High plank w straight hands pushups – 11 reps
x3

Chest:
