Pseudo-planche lean

Difficulty Mobility

How to perform it

Push-up position with hands by your hips (wrists turned in), body leaning forward over the hands. A planche prep drill. Differs from a push-up by the lean – weight shifts onto the wrists, and the chest and serratus work at an unusual angle.
