well it is a "pushup" in that you're pushing yourself up, just vertically. Anyway, yes, delts and tris, but abs do more stabilizing work than you'd imagine.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
These are by FAR the best shoulder exercise I have ever done. It is just too bad adding weight is damn near impossible with this exercise. I always prefer body moving through space exercises to their freeweight counterparts.

What can brown do for you?
Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody want to lift moderate weight for high reps.

I'll probably try these in my shoulder workout on Monday.

Yup lats are very important for stabilisation during overhead pressing. The handstand push up is the poor mans answer to the military press And to up the intensity what i do is i have a backpack full of sand which i use to add extra weight, the backpack has one of those belts which strap around the waist, this stops the bag from sliding off during the exercise.

we do these A LOT in gymnastics... we have a little mini set of parallel bars that are like a foot high, and we just have a someone hold our legs so we can keep good form..they dont help at all...in fact..if you get really good at these, you can have the other person give a little pressure, so its harder

Would imagine balance would be thrown off

I prefer jackknife pushups on a Swiss ball to handstand push-ups. I feel like I can concentrate on my shoulders more this way. It's hard to keep balance too.
Jackknife push-ups' demonstration starts at 9:35 min.
