Pseudo Planche Against Wall

Technique

How to perform Wall Pseudo-Planche Push-Up

  1. Place your hands on the floor roughly shoulder-width apart, far enough from a wall to support a nearly horizontal bodyline.
  2. Set your feet against the wall and shift your shoulders forward of your hands into a controlled pseudo-planche lean.
  3. Start with straight elbows and keep your trunk and legs aligned while maintaining active shoulder-blade support.
  4. Bend your elbows to lower your chest while keeping the forward lean and feet against the wall.
  5. Press through your hands to straighten your elbows without shifting back into an ordinary push-up position.
  6. Repeat with a controlled descent, then bring your feet down to finish.
