I'm talking about resting your body against the wall in a handstand position and perform a push-up...
What muscles does it work? I'm guessing triceps...
also, what are other biceps exercises which requires no weights (besides chin-ups)?
Thank you in advance...

The mechanics of the movement are similar to a military press so I'm guessing front delts and triceps. As for your other question, I believe chins and pull-ups are the only things you can do for bi's with no weight.

I reccomend putting your head on a pillow while doing these, as it may be a little more comftarble. I could be wrong

Nope, you're right. Hurts like hell when you have your entier bodyweight balanced on top of your head.Originally posted by SkinnyDoode

I love doing verticle/handstand pushups but the blood rushes to my head so quickly I can bearly manage 6 reps.
I'm hungry
