Definitely pushups and free weights (work your way up from 5 lbs per arm). Practice doing Backbends and handstands too. Those are the same positions your wrists will be in during the handspring, but obviously with more pressure. You could always consult with a trainer at a good gymnastics gym if you haven't already. They should be able to give you specialized info. Good luck.
