After years of training chest-to-wall handstand push-ups, I hit a plateau. My strength was solid — but my balance and rep progression weren’t improving.
That changed when I switched to the back-to-wall variation.
Over 12 months, my HSPU reps jumped from 1 to 16,
and my freestanding handstand push-ups went from 1 to 7 — all thanks to smarter programming and better muscle engagement.
In this video, I explain exactly why the back-to-wall variation builds more balanced strength and how you can use it to break through your own plateau.
If you’re serious about improving your handstand push-ups or chasing that freestanding HSPU, this one’s for you.
