Box Headstand Push-Up
When you are ready to advance to over-head pushing strength, the Box Headstand Push-Up is a great way to reduce load as you work toward a full Headstand Push-Up or other Hollow Body Press progression. You should master full tricep push-ups as well as overhead mobility before trying these. Mark the distance from your feet to your hips, so you are at a perfect 90˚ bend, with the hips directly above the hands.
