Cool planche training vid

Since I'm currently training for planche pushups, I thought I would share this video below which tells you how to train for it. I used to train for planche pushups by only doing planche holds. That is, holding my entire bodyweight up on my hands (I can't straighten my legs out yet). Progress was very slow but as soon as I started my doing psuedo planche pushups (also called hip pushups) like in this vid, my ability to hold my bodyweight on my hands has increased.

If you do decide to follow this training method, take it step by step and don't rush. Don't move onto the next step untill you can do 3 sets of 20 hip pushups. I don't suggest you try and increase the reps every session either. If you currently can do 5 reps, keep at it for a week or two and then increase it to 6.

I personally don't train to failure either, I always leave a rep or two in the bank, but everyone is different.

The guy in the video says it took him 3-4 months to be able to do planche pushups but also says it can be done in 2-3 months. Personally I just think h has good genetics and it will take the average person MUCH longer. Still, the effort is worth it.

I've also heard that doing a planche pushup is the equivalent of doing a double bodyweight bench press. So it's some feat of strength alright.

Good luck training
