I make my wrestlers walk on their hands and perform handstand push ups religiously. A good way to build up your reps is to use the ladder method. Kick up and do one rep. Come back down and shake out your arms for a second. Then kick back up and do 2 reps. Continue adding one rep to each set til you have 2 reps left in the tank. After resting a few minutes feel free to start the ladder over again.

you need to practice what you’re NOT good at as well as ADD exercises that support what you’re trying to do

I'm gonna go crank some of these out right now! Also for those of us without a good training parter, walking side to side while in the handstand leaning against a wall is a great substitute for the wheelbarrow walking drill. Thanks Zach!
