Hello everyone,
I was playing around with the 90 degree pike pushup lately to build strength for handstand pushups. The idea is to have an 90 degree angle in the hips, the hips over the shoulders and then replicating the movement pattern of a freestanding handstand pushup.
I noticed you can increase the difficulty of the exercise by making a conscious effort to eliminate "feet assistance" i.e. only using the bar to rest the feet on while not pushing into the bar on the way up.
Any suggestions and critique is highy appreciated.
