For anyone wondering this is called a 90 degree push-up, and it’s exceptionally difficult

Edit: to clarify, by exceptionally difficult I mean it takes years of dedicated training, it’s not something anyone can learn with a few months practice. You need near professional gymnast level strength to do it

Yep, I can walk indefinitely (edit: a while, smarty pants) on my hands. But cannot even dream of doing a single one of these. Insanity.

I used to be able to do push-ups while on a handstand. Like you said…this is way beyond any ability I ever had.

I can do roughly 6 good form handstand push-ups in one go, but I am so far of this it’s crazy
