Handstand push-ups are "nose to floor" and pull-ups are "strict" or non-kipping.
Post time to comments.
Scaling: Being able to kip shouldn't mean abandoning the "strict" pull-up. That said, if you are unable to perform the prescribed amount of pull-ups in "strict" form reduce the reps or mix kipping with strict. Use jumping and bands when appropriate.
Although the description states "nose to floor" we generally find "top of head to floor" better for keeping the body straight. It appears that "nose to floor" causes the head to lift and the back to over arch. Over-arching creates greater stress on the lower back, quicker fatigue and loss of balance.
Scaling the HSPU involves placing something on the ground underneath your head to shorten the range of motion or resorting to one of the other push up variations. -GD-

Olympic Weightlifter Unexpectedly Gives Birth During Training Session Don't you hate when you're training and you're focused on the lifts, the lifts…nothing else, and POW!!, a baby pops out! Yeah…I hate when that happens.
Five time World's Strongest Man, Mariusz Pudzianowski made his mixed martial arts debut on December 11th and won! The fight isn't all that special except for the fact that one of the strongest men on the planet is doing the striking and kicking. One can't help but imagine what it will be like if Mariusz develops a superior skill set!
