What exercise will help me do a handstand push up?
As the title says, I want to start doing vertical push ups but as I tried them, I realized that the muscle groups aren't similar to the ones you use in regular push ups.

What type of exercise can I do to help me train for vertical push ups?

I would suggest doing, crunches, push ups, pull ups, and benching , because they will probably make your arms, chest, and abs stronger so it will be easier to do your hand stand push ups.

Squats, Straight leg dead lifts and Swings are the way to go.
Former Toribasher. Never any good though.
Rest in peace Tint.

I just suggest to do 20 push ups before every meal, after a while alot of muscle starts to build up.

Miliatary, incline and bench press.

Also do pull ups and chin ups as they are essentially the same motion at these "handstandthingyfbefdnb" but in reverse.
