Abstract
A handstand pushup device has a central body portion that includes a padded cushion, and two handplates, positioned laterally on opposite sides of the central body portion. Each of the handplates has a flat upper surface that is slip resistant. Two elongate blocks are also provided, each of the elongate blocks having a bottom surface and an inner surface. The bottom surface interlocks with the one of the handplates for removably mounting the elongate block on the handplate. The inner surface of the elongate blocks limits the placement of a user's hands while performing handstand pushups using the device, so that the user's hands are not placed too far apart when performing the handstand pushups.
Claims15
A handstand pushup device comprising:
- a central body portion comprising a padded cushion;
- two handplates, positioned laterally on opposite sides of the central body portion, each of the handplates having a flat upper surface that is slip resistant;
- a first interlocking feature formed in each of the handplates;
- and
- two elongate blocks, each of the elongate blocks having a bottom surface and an inner surface, the bottom surface having a second interlocking feature that interlocks with the first interlocking feature of one of the handplates for removably mounting the elongate block on the handplate, the inner surface limiting the placement of a user's hands while performing handstand pushups using the device, so that the user's hands are not placed too far apart when performing the handstand pushups;
- and
- wherein each of the handplates further comprises a plurality of stacked plates that each include nesting posts and nesting bores that interlock when the stacked plates are stacked on top of each other, with the handplate being formed by a top surface of a top one of the plurality of stacked plates.

A handstand pushup device comprising:
- a generally rectangular rigid planar base having a central body portion and two handplates that are positioned laterally on opposite sides of the central body portion, each of the handplates having a flat upper surface that is slip resistant;
- a padded cushion mounted on the central body portion;
- a plurality of stacked plates that each include nesting posts and nesting bores that interlock when the stacked plates are stacked on top of one of the handplates and each other, with further handplates being formed by a top surface of a top one of the plurality of stacked plates;
- a first interlocking feature formed in each of the handplates, and also formed in each of the stackable plates that may be mounted on each of the handplates;
- two elongate blocks, each of the elongate blocks having a bottom surface and an inner surface, the bottom surface having a second interlocking feature that interlocks with the first interlocking feature of one of the handplates, or the further handplates, for removably mounting the elongate block on the handplate such that the inner surfaces of the elongate blocks are parallel and placed a predetermined distance from each other;
- and
- wherein the elongate blocks are mounted on the handplates such that the inner surfaces of the elongate blocks are parallel and placed a predetermined distance from each other.

A method of performing handstand pushups, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a handstand pushup device comprising:
- a central body portion comprising a padded cushion;
- two handplates, positioned laterally on opposite sides of the central body portion, each of the handplates having a flat upper surface that is slip resistant;
- a first interlocking feature formed in each of the handplates;
- and
- two elongate blocks, each of the elongate blocks having a bottom surface and an inner surface, the bottom surface having a second interlocking feature that interlocks with the first interlocking feature of one of the handplates;
- mounting each of the elongate blocks on one of the handplates such that the inner surfaces of the elongate blocks limit the placement of a user's hands while performing handstand pushups using the device, so that the user's hands are not placed too far apart when performing the handstand pushups;
- performing a handstand such that the user's hands are placed on the handplates, his or her head is placed on the padded cushion, and his or her body and legs extend generally vertically into the air, and further such that the inner surfaces of the elongate blocks prevent the user from spreading his hands too far apart on the handplates;
- and
- pushing with his or her hands to life his or her body upwardly to raise his or her head off of the padded cushion.
