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.
