Pseudo Planche Push-Up
Starting Posture
Start in a push-up position with your hands placed closer to your waist than usual, with your fingers pointing towards your feet. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.
How to Exercise
Lower your body towards the ground while keeping your elbows close to your sides. As you descend, lean your torso slightly forward so that your shoulders come in front of your hands. Push yourself back up to the starting position.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower yourself down and exhale as you push yourself back up.
Common errors
Arching the lower back, flaring the elbows out to the sides, or not lowering the body completely can compromise the effectiveness of the exercise.
Weights
Grips
Variations
To make the exercise easier, you can perform it on your knees instead of your toes. To make it more challenging, elevate your feet on a bench or perform the exercise with your hands on parallettes.
