- For Shoulder Sensitivity: Reduce to Strict Dumbbell Press (6–8 reps per minute @ light–moderate load)
For Beginners / New to Inversion:
4–6 Piked Handstand Push-Ups on a box or 5 Seated DB Strict Press + :10 Tall Plank
For Advanced / Competitors:
Add a :02 pause at the bottom of each rep or add a deficit to allow for a more challenging range of motion
