Proper Movement: Kipping Handstand Pushup


The kipping handstand push-up is a dynamic and advanced bodyweight movement that combines the principles of a traditional handstand push-up with the controlled momentum of the kipping motion. To execute this movement, start in a handstand position against the wall, with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet resting on the wall for support. Initiate a controlled kip by engaging your hips and generating a fluid swinging motion through your legs and hips. As your body moves backward, allow the momentum to drive your head and shoulders toward the ground, bending your elbows and lowering yourself into the push-up portion of the movement. As you reverse the motion, push your body away from the ground while using the kip to assist in the ascent. This technique requires a strong core, shoulder stability, and proper timing to harness the power of the kip effectively. Kipping handstand push-ups can be a valuable addition to advanced training routines, as they challenge upper body strength, coordination, and agility. However, it's important to approach this movement with caution and only attempt it once you have mastered strict handstand push-ups and have a solid foundation in kipping techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness.
