Pike Push Up - Your Bodyweight Overhead Pushing Progression

Pike push ups or downward handstand dog push ups are great to get you started with overhead pressing strength.
Working on your pike push ups will help you build shoulder and triceps strength for handstand push ups, planches, 90 degree push ups and basic 2 arm handstand shapes.
Even though pike push ups are rather basic I see many mistakes when athletes perform them without first properly analyzing the movement.
1 - you should be moving on a diagonal line. Your shoulders should take the same path on the way back up as they took on the way down.
2 - look at your hands on top of the movement and keep weight and control in your hands. Do not lock out pushing your chest towards the feet. I see this all the time and it honestly doesn’t make any sense. Pike push ups are a handstand push up progression. Treat them accordingly.
3 - do not arch your back on the way back up. If you can not perform pike push ups without arching your back scroll through my page for the “dreaming of doing a handstand push up?” short.
With the countless existing variations and possible adaptations to increase or decrease difficulty pike push ups represent the ideal overhead pushing exercise for pretty much anybody interested in developing strength through body weight styled training. #handstandpushup #calisthenics #bodyweightworkout #fitness #shoulderworkout #handstand

    Is it flexibility or strength? Are you able to bend over 90 degrees when standing? If yes, then you can do this, you might have to modify it at the beginning. If no, then you have to work at strengthening/stretching your hip flexors first to be able to bend and hold.

    Plenty work up exercises. You can do a military press against the elastic band. You can do partial pike push ups. Place a yoga block or similar between your hands to reduce the distance you have to travel. You can now either tap the block with your nose or lower down until a headstand. Rest the center of the top of your head on the block, place your knees on the floor, extend the arms and extend the legs. You are back to your starting position
