Pseudo Planche Push Ups with gym rings

Pseudo planche push-ups are an advanced variation of the classic push-ups that place greater emphasis on the shoulders. Unlike regular push-ups, the center of gravity is shifted forward by positioning the hands further back, roughly at hip level. This exercise is a great introduction to training for the planche. Other exercises, such as archer push-ups, provide a good alternative for those looking for less intense shoulder strain.

  • Triceps - The triceps brachii muscle is located at the back of your upper arm. It extends your arm at the elbow and also helps move the arm backward.

  • Serratus Anterior - The serratus anterior muscle, also known as the anterior serratus muscle, is a muscle that runs along the sides of the ribs and attaches to the inside of the shoulder blade. It helps move the shoulder blade forward and outward and fix it against the chest wall. This is particularly important for movements such as bringing the arm forward or lifting the arm overhead. The serratus anterior muscle also plays a crucial role in stabilizing the shoulder during pushing or striking actions.
