Instructions

1. Begin by assuming a push-up position on the floor with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

2. Lean forward to bring your shoulders in front of your hands while keeping your arms straight. Your toes should be pointed, and your feet slightly off the ground.

3. Engage your core and lift your entire body off the ground, keeping it parallel to the floor in a straight line. This is the starting position, known as the full planche position.

4. From this position, lower your body by bending your elbows, going as low as you can without touching the ground, or until your arms are at about a 90-degree angle.

5. Push through your hands, extending your elbows to return to the starting planche position.

6. Maintain body tension and a straight line from head to toe throughout the movement.

7. Perform the desired number of repetitions while maintaining form.

This exercise is highly advanced and requires significant strength, balance, and control. It's recommended to have mastered simpler progressions such as the frog stand, tuck planche, and straddle planche before attempting the full planche push-up.

Note: It's important to perform this exercise with proper technique to prevent injury. If you're new to this movement, seek guidance from a qualified fitness professional.
