A3: Pseudo Planche Pushup

Hi coaches

Could you please give me some pointers on my pseudo planche pushups.  To my regret, I have only really started using the form check 18 months into doing the Foundations courses - it certainly shows up deficiencies!  Anyway, feedback is very welcome.

Hey Barry, remember to hold a strong posterior pelvic tilt (PPT) as you do this one. In addition, keep trying to protract your scapula while maintaining a straight spine. Currently you are picking up too much hollow as you lower into your push up.

Hi Jeffrey

Thanks alot.  I think I find it hard to strike a balance between holding PPT and not piking at the hips.  I'll work on it.

Thanks

Barry

Hi Jeffrey

Is this getting any closer?

If you stop at 19 seconds you can see that the top position is a normal straight arms plank. this means that no lean is used during the reps.

Thanks - I find this so hard!

That’s because they are hard to do well!

You can regress these a little by getting into the top or bottom position of a PPP and staying there for 30s to a minute. No, not easy. And remember to breathe!

Once you've built up some endurance, add movement.
