See, the Chinese are not the only ones doing handstands.
In addition to his Overhead Press Dmitry also banged out a couple Handstand Push ups (a.k.a Earth Pushes, as a youtuber called them) today. Full ROM and not the headstand version which seems to be very popular in crossfit WODs these days.
Youtuber drarara translated what Dmitry said: “When his wrist doesn’t hurt, and that happens rarely, he hits about 3 sets of these after the workout. 12-10-8 reps.”
If you can’t do full ROM yet, you can simply progress by increasing the range of motion over time (i.e. the height of the blocks for example).
So bang out a couple too next time you are in the gym. They don’t hurt (much).
Also check out Lu Xiaojun doing some Handstand Push-Ups.
Update: Challenge from Dmitry.
5 Handstand Push-ups + 5 Push-ups + 5 Handstand push-ups + 5 Push-ups
