@Anna C In yoga I learned handstands against a wall and headstannds are great to drain the Lymphatic System, twists are also good. Between sets of squats, and hinges it helps move the blood out of the lower body, and allow fresh oxygenated blood to flow in. Between sets of upper body exercises it forces more oxygenated blood into the area for faster recovery, and a bigger "pump".
Handstands are a great warmup before pressing or barbell clean and jerk to stretch the wrists, shoulders, T spine and get the body ready to support weight overhead. Frog handstands against the wall are good to stretch the hips, and t spine before squats. I use handstands as a full tension plank also.
P.S. I cannot do free standing handstands very long. Oldtime Strongman Sig Klein said anyone good at handstands would naturally be good at the bent press.
