The Freestanding Handstand Push-Up

“The quick and obvious analysis as to hand balancing’s benefits would include improved 

balance and increased shoulder strength, and though accurate, ending the analysis here doesn’t speak to the singularly unique advantages to this training. There are countless successful protocols for increasing shoulder strength and balance, but training the handstand and presses to the handstand improves proprioception and core strength in ways that other protocols cannot.”
