While it does make it easier to complete a handstand pushup, the lack of control required for the Strict Handstand Pushup means there is a reasonably high risk of hitting your head on the ground and injuring your neck. Approach with caution and work with your coaches to ensure you have the strength to always remain in control in this position before attempting the Kipping Handstand Push-Up.[/vc_column_text][us_separator type=”invisible”][vc_column_text]
