Tiger Bend Handstand Pushups

Explanatory Video

Description

Start in a solid handstand position. Slowly lower your forearms toward the ground by bending at the elbows and shifting your weight slightly backward until your elbows and forearms rest on the floor (entering a forearm stand). From this position, lean forward and explosively push through your palms to extend your arms and return to the starting handstand position. Ensure your core remains tight throughout the entire movement to maintain balance and prevent arching in the lower back.
