Ring Straddle Planche Push-Up
Technique
How to perform Ring Straddle Planche Push-Up
- Grip the rings with a false grip and press into a straight-arm straddle planche with legs wide, elbows locked, rings turned slightly out, and shoulders protracted and depressed.
- Engage your core and glutes to keep your hips level with your shoulders while maintaining a rigid hollow body.
- Inhale as you bend your elbows, lowering your chest toward the rings in a controlled motion without letting the rings drift inward or the straddle close.
- Descend until your upper arms approach parallel to the floor, keeping legs straight and hips aligned.
- Exhale as you press through the rings, extending your elbows to return to the straight-arm straddle planche position.
- Repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
