The one that you are weaker at
Full planche push-ups are harder for most.
• Hollow back press is one of the seven Foundation Series skills
• Straddle planche is one of the seven Foundation Series skills
Full planche - which is harder than straddle planche - is not covered in Foundation Series. To do full planche push-ups, you should first master full planche.
Conclusion : full planche push-up is harder than hollow back press.
I've done both and full planche push-ups are much much harder than hollow back presses. There is simply no comparison. Even half lay planche push-ups are harder. HBP requires more balance and body awareness, but full planche push-ups take way more strength.
So I'm guessing one sould master these 3 skills in the following order : hspu, hollow back press, planche pushups due to their increasing difficulty?
^ That's my plan. Hope it's good haha
