When it comes to strength here are few drills you can add in that will help you get stronger specifically for handstand push-ups.

1. Shoulder Press
Many ways to perform this exercise but I like the strict DB shoulder press for its stability benefits. Standing with the DB on each shoulder (or sitting with legs out in front) press them up overhead, pause at the top and bring it back down for 8-12 reps at time. Build up to a heavy weight and progressively increase the weight each week.

2. Single Arm Press
Similar to the shoulder press but simply using a DB or KB with a single arm. This is another great exercise for building stability and strength .

3. HSPU Negative
A fantastic drill for building raw strength and stability. Kick-up to the wall and with control all the way down, slowly lower yourself to the floor. Come down from the wall and do it again. If this drill is too difficult, modify by adding an Ab Mat or by putting your feet up on a box.
