The integration of strength and balance gives the handstand push-up an athletic edge that brings this movement to at least peer status with even the heaviest of presses, whether bench, overhead, or jerk. Performing 20 handstand push-ups in the middle of the room or on parallel bars becomes an extraordinary feat of strength and balance that has no peer in weightlifting movements.
