A freestanding inverted bodyweight press for the shoulders and triceps. The demonstrated variation combines repeated elbow extension with whole-body balance on the hands, without support from a wall.
Begin in a controlled freestanding handstand with the palms supporting the body.
Bend the elbows to lower the body through the controlled range shown in the video.
Press through the palms and extend the elbows to return to the handstand.
Keep the trunk controlled and finish the set before balance or pressing control is lost.
Use a clear practice area and an exit strategy already learned for the handstand.
Keep pressure distributed through the hands rather than collapsing into the wrists.
Match the demonstrated controlled range; do not force a deeper descent.
Replacing the freestanding setup with wall support while presenting it as the same variation.
Arching the lower back to compensate for loss of overhead control.
Dropping into the descent or loading the head instead of controlling the press.
Continuing after balance and hand pressure can no longer be controlled.
