Planche Push-Up
How to Do:
- Starting Position
Begin in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Shift your body weight forward so your shoulders are ahead of your wrists, engaging your core and keeping your body straight. Lift your feet slightly off the ground, balancing entirely on your hands.
- Lower Your Body
Bend your elbows slowly to lower your body toward the ground while keeping your core tight and your legs elevated. Maintain the forward-leaning position to keep the planche form.
- Push Back Up
Press through your hands and straighten your arms to push your body back to the starting position while maintaining balance and control.
- Repetitions
Complete as many repetitions as you can with proper form. Start with partial push-ups if a full Planche Push-Up is too challenging.
Benefits:
The Planche Push-Up develops immense upper body strength, particularly in the shoulders, chest, and triceps. It also enhances core stability, balance, and overall body control, making it a pinnacle bodyweight exercise for advanced practitioners.
