Nope, I'm in the "normal" weight category (scare quotes fully intended).

OTOH, my arms are fairly weak when it comes to push rather than pull movements, and for me, handstand feels much more like an exercise in balance and stability rather than strength. Way less strength required than for push-ups or overhead presses, at any rate.

So (easy for me to say, I know) I don't think being overweight should necessarily be a barrier, though it may make it harder. Though obviously you're the one who knows your own body and has a sense of what's feasible for you.

What sort of stage are you at with handstands? Where are you running into trouble?
