Tavis G Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hi guys, i want to know how much strength it takes to do 1 advanced tuck planche pushup in terms of bench pressing.(170-180? im 144.8 lbs 6 ft) I can do 2. Im taking team training next year for school which involves being in the weight room. I will be doing mostly calisthenics, maybe some bench after every 9 weeks to see how strong i got. People will be like"stop with pussy pushups and hop on a bench" i want to WOW them so i can say" all that strength came from pushups and pullups. So they will get off my back so i can go back to my hardcore training. I have 3 months to get as strong as i can. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik de Kort Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Well, technically you're moving your bodyweight around, minus the arms. But I really wouldn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilllamas Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think Coach said a full planche push up, was about equivalent to a 2x body weight bench.The direction you push in a planche is different to a bench press though- as you're arms are at a diagonal angle, so you also have to use the shoulders a great deal more than in a bench press I imagine.
