The goal of the HS push ups is to develop OH pressing strength and core stability awareness. Choose a modification that allows you to get 5 reps unbroken each round. This could mean for some, scaling UP to a strict HSPU if 5 is something you can do unbroken no problem.

For others, options include:
Kipping
Decreasing R.O.M. by adding skull matts under head
Pike up on box
Pike up on box with hands on dumbells to make harder
Dumbbell strict press
Dumbbell push press

For the pistol start by placing a small 2.5# or 5# plate under your heel if ankle mobility keeps you from being able to perform the movement. You must have the strength however to do a one legged squat already.

The next choice would be to place a band across J-Cups and do a pistol so your butt rests on the band and assists you in standing back up. This is greatfor those lacking the strength necessary to perform the one legged squat.


Next, you can stand on a small box and slowly lower your leg off the side,but trying not to touch the foot to the ground. This is great for those with hamstring flexibility issues that have trouble keeping the heel off the floor, but have the strength to do a one legged squat.
