Get our #1 movement progressions app - The GWOD Spot - now available in the iTunes (http://is.gd/GWODSpot__iOS), Google Play (http://is.gd/GWODSpot_Android), and Kindle (http://is.gd/GWODSpot_Kindle) App store! In this series, Coach Carl breaks down the progressions for the Kipping Handstand Push Up, one of the most popular movements.
If you're interested in learning more about the handstand pushup, and in progressions to move toward a better handstand pushup, videos by Carl Paoli and gymnasticswod.com are a great place to start! Here's Carl's HSPU progression, part 1 (there is also a part 2, and a progression for strict HSPU) that is a great place to begin if you're already comfortable being upside down. If you're still uncomfortable being in an inverted position, then forward rolls (like in the Thursday warm-up!) and scaled HSPU with your knees on a box are your best bet until you're ready to try these progressions.
