HOW TO DO PLANCHE PUSH-UP
- Support the body on the hands with the feet completely off the floor, shoulders leaned well beyond the wrists, scapulae protracted, and the trunk and legs held as one horizontal unit.
- From this planche, bend the elbows to lower under control, then press back to straight arms without the hips dropping or feet touching down.
- The full planche push-up is an exceptionally advanced calisthenics skill loading the shoulders, chest, triceps, wrists, and trunk through a severe leverage disadvantage.
- It requires long-term preparation with planche holds, pseudo planche push-ups, and easier tuck or straddle forms.
- Train on a clear surface, use parallettes if appropriate, and never attempt repetitions without a controlled static planche.
