Just started Push program - excited!

Hey everyone! Just starting my handstand journey with the Push program. Any tips for a complete beginner? I can barely hold a wall handstand for 10 seconds right now.

Hit 3x8 pike push-ups today with good form! Finally feeling the shoulder strength building. Keep Pushing program is no joke.

Struggling with tuck float

I can hold a wall handstand for 60+ seconds but my tuck float is still under 5 seconds. How long did it take you all to build up the balance awareness? Should I be doing more banana rocks?

Form check tips: shoulder position

Common issue I see: shoulders not fully elevated in handstand. Think about pushing the floor away and reaching tall. Your shoulders should cover your ears when viewed from the side. This makes a huge difference in balance and reduces strain.

First 10-second wall kick-up hold! I know it's not freestanding but I'm counting this as a win. Week 4 of Push.

Shoulder mobility progress

Been doing the shoulder flexibility work from the Bend program alongside Keep Pushing. My wall slides are finally getting deeper. Anyone else working on overhead flexibility?

HSPU journey - from zero to hero?

Started the HSPU program last month. Could barely do 5 pike push-ups. Now doing 3x8 elevated pike push-ups. The progression is real! How long until I can press from the floor?

Quick question - what's the best program to add after Keep Pushing if I want to work on press to handstand? Should I do Press program or HSPU first?

Pike compression exercise demo

For those working on press, pike compression is key. Sit in pike position, hands flat beside hips. Try to lift feet even 1 inch off the ground. Hold for 5-10 seconds. This builds the compression strength needed for press entries.

Would love a form check on my straddle one-arm attempt. My supporting shoulder feels unstable when I try to lift the second hand. Any cues for keeping the support arm locked and strong?
