Instructions
1. Begin in a standard push-up position with your hands on the ground slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Rotate your hands so that your fingers point out to the sides, or turn them slightly backward if your wrist flexibility allows.
3. Walk your feet forward to shift your weight towards your hands. Your body should be slightly angled, with your shoulders coming in front of your wrists when viewed from the side.
4. Engage your core and glutes to maintain a straight body line from your head to your heels.
5. Slowly lower your body down to the ground, keeping your elbows close to your body, but allowing them to travel slightly behind your wrists.
6. Push back up to the starting position, actively pushing the ground away while keeping your body straight and your core engaged.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining proper form throughout the set.
Remember: The Pseudo Planche Push Up places more load on the shoulders and wrists than a regular push-up, so be cautious and progress slowly to avoid injury.
