Planche Push-ups: ON RINGS!

Technique

How to perform Ring Planche Push-Up

  1. Set the rings with enough clearance for an airborne planche and your practiced entry and exit.
  2. Grip the rings and establish a straight-arm planche with your feet together, shoulders forward of your hands and your body approximately horizontal.
  3. Keep the shoulder blades actively supported and your hips extended as you bend your elbows and lower your chest between the rings.
  4. Lower under control toward upper arms parallel to the floor without placing your feet down.
  5. Press through the rings to straighten your elbows and return to the planche, controlling ring rotation rather than letting the rings spread.
  6. Repeat while maintaining the body line, then use your controlled exit.
