RTO Wall Pseudo-Planche Push-Up
Also called RTO Wall PP PU
Technique
How to perform RTO Wall Pseudo-Planche Push-Up
- Grip rings shoulder-width apart just above floor a little less than your body-length from the wall, palms turned outward and elbows locked.
- Walk your feet up the wall until your body forms a straight line, then lean your shoulders forward past your wrists to create a pseudo-planche position.
- Engage your core, glutes, and quads, keeping your elbows fully locked and shoulders depressed.
- Inhale as you bend your elbows, lowering your chest toward the floor in a controlled motion while maintaining the forward lean, turned-out palms, and rigid body line.
- Exhale as you press through your palms, straightening your elbows and driving your torso back up to the original forward-lean position with feet still on the wall.
- Repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
