okay i have a goal and i figure this is the place to sound off and get advice. so what i'd like to do is... headstand pushups. does this make sense i'm no tsure what they are called. what is the best way to go about it if you don't have someone to spot you and howmany should my aim be??
stats 5' 4 or 5" 120 lbs female in good shape and fairly strong.
i've no prob with pushups and have surpassed my bench goals(ps thanks guys!) so on to a new challenge and i thought this would be fun to do!!
any thoughts?
 
sounds to dangerous without a spotter. Have you tried them with a spotter? what are your fitness goals im sure you could sub with something like incline bench.
 
Well, just use the wall as a support. I was thinking of doing these this morning, watching Dragonball sure does give you cool workout ideas. lol

Against the wall which was already said. What really are your goals? I was reading a while ago the handstands are a different contraction because your basically opposite then a miltary press. I'm not very up on it but there is a difference. If you want to use a BB do standing military presses.
 
newf i'm not sure what those are?? basically i though it would be interesting not the some old deal and they look to be pretty challenging. so i thought before i'd try it i see what you guys thought about it. oh and i wouldn't try it with out a spotter frist. i don't even know if i can do it. just a thought.
 
thanks newf i'll try that first. mind you i'll wait until my last senario exam tomorrow! i won't pass if i can't move or lift my pregnant patient aff the floor because i'm too sore. lol . thanks for the tip :)
 
Its all in the shoulders!!!

once you have mastered it, get two benches to put you hands on and head between, so you can get your shoulders down in line with your hands. youve never felt pain like shoulder pressing your own body weight with your head full of blood knowing that if you fail you'll never walk again.

... be careful
 
thank you guys great info. manofkent lol. i am aiming for still being able to walk at the end of the day.. exams are over so i am going to start working this goal- safely. cheers everyone :)
