The wall-assisted handstand press is an advanced strength drill designed to build the necessary power and coordination for a freestanding press to handstand. Stand facing away from a wall or with your back to it. Place your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart. Lean your weight forward into your shoulders until your hips start to lift. Use the wall to lean your back or hips against for stability as you focus on pressing through the floor, keeping your elbows locked, and slowly raising your legs into a vertical handstand position. Control the descent to maximize strength gains.
