Extreme Scorpion Push-Ups

RAISE TESTOSTERONE NATURALLY!: http://www.heretical-health.info/raisetestosteronenaturally.html .

I thought I hadn't progressed much with these, but on closer inspection I see that I've been starting from an ever further forward position.

yea im trying 2 just do regular hand stand push ups liek with the legs in the air i fall alot lol any tips on how 2 train?

@MrCarnage997

If balance is the problem, try holding static handstands with flexed arms (e.g. watch?v=Y-Y7XPYChGA) or with some movement in the legs (e.g. watch?v=8sGJDpF6M_o). That should help improve your balance so that you can do HSPUs with arm movement. I had a long conversation with someone about it here: watch?v=h7QyPst5A1Q .

@stuqua how did u train yourself to get to that level? I would love to learn my friend, It's amazing!!!

I didn't train very systematically towards it. I used to do lots of heavy OH pressing, and full-RoM HSPUs (10 in one go) with a wall for balance, but at that point I couldn't even hold a simple free handstand, and I was bored and wanted to try more complex things involving some skill. With a complex move close to your limit, as this one was for me, it's easy to hurt (e.g.) your wrist and then struggle to train, so I'd try to regularly do lot of similar not-quite-so-complex moves.

A scorpion push-up is actually quite different from this. This is more like halfway to a hollowback press aka 90 degree planche push-up. Impressive nonetheless. I taught myself how to do the tuck version of these but I can't bring myself back to planche position. Hopefully I get to your level soon!

Hi. Cheers. I didn't actually realize at the time that there was a formal exercise called the scorpion push-up; I just named them that way because it occurred to me that the up-turned spine resembled a scorpion.

@stuqua yeah, i thought the same thing until recently haha. i saw someone doing a 90 degree planche with a tiger bend and it looked even more like a scorpion but it turns out there is something that looks nothing like a scorpion that has been thus named lol. great job with the push-ups though! keep it up!
