Pseudo Planche Push Ups

A push-up with hands turned back and shoulders leaned far past the wrists, mimicking planche loading.

How to do it

1. Start in a push-up position with your hands turned so fingers point back.
2. Lean your shoulders forward past your wrists.
3. Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows.
4. Keep your body in a straight line.
5. Press back up while maintaining the forward lean.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Tips

• The further you lean forward, the harder each rep becomes.
• Keep your elbows close to your body as you lower.
• Keep your shoulder blades protracted and your body rigid.
