How to perform Wall Handstand Push-Up

1. Place your hands shoulder-width apart near a wall, leaving room for your head to lower between and slightly in front of them.
2. Use a controlled kick-up to bring your heels into light contact with the wall, then straighten your arms.
3. Keep your ribs and pelvis aligned and maintain active shoulder support rather than forcing your shoulders down.
4. Bend your elbows and lower your head toward the floor under control, letting the elbows track back rather than flare fully sideways.
5. Reach the floor-level endpoint you can control without resting your weight on your head.
6. Press through your hands to straighten your elbows and return to the supported handstand without driving your knees or hips.
7. After the final repetition, lower one foot and then the other to leave the position under control.
