    A great mod is to use a jump box at 30". put your knees on top and get in a HSPU position then practice being inverted.

    Other than that, until your shoulders/chest are strong enough the best you can do is practice getting into the position.

    Gotta work on shoulder/chest strength.

    This and losing weight will the keys for me. Also, pressing is pretty much the same movement. As you add weight to that lift HSPU should get easier and vice versa.

    I still have a ways to go with handstand push ups. Also still working on double-unders. I really should practice both at the house. Tricky finding the time.

    At roughly 50lbs over weight .. I'm not exactly holding my breath for pulling off this move any time soon. I envy those who can.

    Ditto here. I can't do a regular handstand yet. Still working on DU.

    If you can't bench or OH press near your body weight then HSPU aren't in your future. Work on building strength and balance. The HSPU will come.
