Bodyweight exercises are GREAT for the shoulders.

In fact, if I could only do one shoulder exercise, it would be the handstand push-up.

However, not everybody is strong enough to do that exercise effectively (I couldn't even get one rep the first time I tried it).

That's where the Pike Handstand Push-Up comes in.

That exercise is done with the feet set on a bench or chair with the body bent 90 degrees in a pike position.

This exercise is a great way to hit the shoulders in a very similar fashion, but with less resistance.

 

The Pike Handstand Push-Up has one big drawback, though...the floor.

When your head touches the floor, it stops you at about half of the range of motion of the push-up, meaning you're getting a lot of triceps involved, even while getting some good shoulder work.

To get even BETTER shoulder work, you need a fuller range of motion.

That's where this exercise setup comes in...the Elevated Pike Handstand Push-Up.

This setup allows you to get your head below the level of the bench for a FULL range of motion on the handstand push-up movement pattern.

Honestly, this is one of the best shoulder exercises I've ever found. My shoulders have a very hard time getting pumped up and they were swelled up like crazy after a few sets of this one.

And yes, it's very safe when done correctly!

I'll give you all the info you need to properly perform it here.
