Technique
How to perform Ring Strap Handstand Push-Up
- Set both rings to the same height with space to lower between them, and grip one ring in each hand.
- Enter an inverted position with the legs contacting the straps for guidance; keep both hands on the ring handles rather than the floor.
- Begin with straight elbows, a controlled body line and the shoulders pushing tall toward the ears.
- Bend the elbows and lower between the rings while allowing the legs to slide along the straps.
- Use a controlled depth toward shoulder level with the handles, without dropping onto the floor or changing to floor hand support.
- Press through the rings to straighten the elbows as the legs slide back upward; use the straps to guide balance rather than kicking to complete the press.
