Pseudo pushups after planche holds and wrist position

[Guest rival11]

So basically, I do about 20 minutes of planche holds a session with decent rest breaks between holds (so all in all about a solid 10-12 minutes of holds) - I mention this because I would like to do psuedo pushups after the holds but I can't for the life of me maintain the full forward lean on them - I'm just shot at that point.

 

Does anyone else here do pseudo pushups after planche holds?

 

Also, about wrist position during planche, I've noticed that a lot of people bend their wrists when their arms are locked out (I'm talking about doing planche with paralettes or stands only) but I feel more progress when I keep my wrists straight (to give you more insight on what I'm tallking about, go ahead and make fist with your wrist straight....now picture yourself going into planche that way....now go ahead and make fist then bend your wrist backward and picture going into planche that way - this is how I see most people doing them)

 

So my question is....is there an advantage to keeping your wrists straight with no backward bend at all when using stands?  I know that people who use the floor with hands flat are obviously bending their wrists so I guess for people with that kind of flexibility it doesn't matter at all.

 

As far as my wrist strength, I can do 10 wirst pushups WITHOUT springing up to my fists (working on it though) - again maybe it's just a me thing but It feels more natural for me to try and keep my wrists straight while my arms are locked out.

 

Curious to see what some of you have to say.

The position you place your wrist is entirely optional and depends on what is the most comfortable for you. Keeping your elbows locked is more important.

 

Doing pseudo planche push ups after planche training. Feel free to do the extra training, just don't over exert yourself to the point you hurt yourself. The last thing you want to do is tear a muscle and cause you to back off on training all together for several weeks.

 

Take your time and develop the needed flexibility and strength. Instead of trying to rush toward your full lay out planche goal.
