Full planche push-up negatives
Advanced10 repsNo jumping
How to do it
- Get into a full planche, elbows locked, scapulae protracted, and feet elevated until your body is parallel to the ground.
- Hips aligned with shoulders and ankles, with a slight posterior pelvic tilt and even tension throughout the core.
- From this position, slowly and controllably bend your elbows as your body descends as a unit.
- Maintain the forward lean, avoid letting your hips drop, and ensure your shoulders stay in front of your hands throughout the entire negative.
- Finish the rep when you reach the lowest point you can hold without losing body alignment and place your feet down if necessary.
- Always prioritize scapular control and the depth you can manage without collapsing your shoulders.
