Kipping Handstand Push-Up Stamina Exercise Improvement Program

January 1, 2015

Range of Motion’s Exercise Improvement Programs have been developed to assist in improving the ability to complete the movements that people most commonly struggle with. They are designed to be cycled through over time, with each session running for only five minutes. This allows them to be completed in addition to (not instead of) your regular programming.

  • Session 1: TEST: Max unbroken kipping handstand push-ups (two minute cap).
  • Session 2: Max kipping HSPU in five minutes. If you expect more than 60, use a deficit that shouldn’t allow more than 60 reps. If you expect less than 20, use a band.
  • Session 3: Max unbroken kipping HSPU (60s cap). Rest 60s. Three rounds. If required, use a band that will give you 5-10 per minute.
  • Session 4: Three HSPU every 15 seconds for five minutes. Use a band/deficit to make challenging.
  • Session 5: Every minute for five rounds complete ten kipping handstand push-ups. Use a band/deficit to make challenging.
  • Session 6: In five minutes, progress as far through an unbroken kipping HSPU ladder as possible. That is, one kipping HSPU, two unbroken, three unbroken etc. If you don’t think you will get past five, use band assistance. Use a deficit if desired.
