Are back-to-wall HSPUs bad?

[Lucas_SM_Gymnasthenics]

Excellent information and so well put together, so useful for me, now the back to wall Vs chest to wall(elbows out Vs elbows in) debate is ended for me

Back to wall handstand push ups are like my favorite upper body pushing movement right now.

It's good to hear someone as established in calisthenics as you say that elbows flared is OK. Most I see say that elbows in is the only way! 👌

great video, after looking at tutorials I started doing elbows in and it hurt my rotator cuffs every time, now i do flared elbows and my rotator cuffs are a lot more happy!

Shout-out to Arrow for inspiring me to learn handstand push ups.
I can do them freestanding now and am currently working towards the diamond HSPU.

Chest to wall is considerble harder than back to wall.

Its the wall to feet friction when I go down

I am uncomparable stronger with elbows out, I have also long arms so my range of motion is big, this - elbows in and even on elevated platform is absolutely sic, no chance for me

Simon beast 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻... Both are great but elbows in feels much better and you can go deeper 😊

I can only do elbows in. elbows out bothers my shoulder . allot

[benardsnell]

I prefer doing chest to wall coz I find it a bit easier and stable than the back to wall..
Though I can only give 10rps😂
