This guy's awesome. he looks like the stereotypical american martial arts instructor. heavy accent, sweatpants and tank top, with a huge american flag in the background. no hate intended.
Oh, forgot to mention, great mention of Atlas and 'only body-weight stuff'. I've only done body-weight (the exercises I have posted) for over six years. Don't need no weights.
Good stuff. Good presentation. I hadn't thought of doing the remedial hand-stand push-ups like that. I start from the hand-stand itself, using isometric squeezes inward and outward, until one can start to do the push-up part. I trained my girlfriend this way with hindu push-ups, and within a two weeks, she could start doing those.
He doesnt look like a ripped killer fighter either, but he would probably could rip my head off (since i´m fluyffy like rotten fruit) That´s a good reason not to go around bullying and looking for trouble, you never know who anyone is.
The more vertical you are, the more you'll be hitting the deltoids as opposed to the pecs. A full vertical handstand push-up won't touch the pecs but will nail your shoulders.
Which I would caution on, in that it's easy to over-train, and even injure, the shoulders this way. However, I've found that one can do very sharp angles and still address the delts more. What really kills is how close the hands are. And, lastly, rotating the hands inward and outward enable different areas.
I can do these!!! I wish i saw this first because i started with the full handstand push up!! I couldn't even do one, so instead just used it as an isometric exercise first! Excellent point about slowing down, there are alot of people who just don't take the time to buy a book on any sort of Strength Training, where one of the principles you mentioned are fully explained...
yeah, good points. The going slower and not "bouncing" reps is a lot safer too.

That's because when you do normal pushups,you mostly use your pectorals and triceps.
On this one you mostly use your shoulders and somewhat triceps...

This guy has it right about the explosion on the contraction phase, the control on the relaxing (eccentric) phase and the hold (isometric) phase.
He's the first guy on YT that I've seen talk about this important, insider knowledge about training.

Those angled push ups are called Mountain Push ups in Gung-fu. They're very good for the upper chest and arms!
