Planche pressup

Can anybody on here honestly do these? I have tried and can get nowhere near. A totally different muscle group to anything I have used. Good workout trying though.

Never attempted them but might try them later in the gym. Guess a lot of the strength comes from the tricep rather than the chest as well like a normal press up. Not to mention core stability required!

Have a look at training to do a planche. The positioning of the hands by the waist is the thing I am not used to. It kills my forearms.

Try putting your feet against the wall for a bit of support to get you going.

I have just pm'd you.

Guessing you need to have a lot of core strength to do one of these!

Didn't get the pm. Keeping my feet on the floor but having my hands in the correct position, managing to get up but struggling to control the down. Might be better to practice first as a decline press up concentrating on the hand position? Do you have the progression video?
