To perform pseudo planche push-ups: 1. Start in a push-up position with your hands turned slightly outward and placed lower, near your waistline. 2. Lean your shoulders forward, keeping your arms straight, engaging your core, and protracting your shoulder blades. 3. Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the ground, maintaining the forward lean throughout. 4. Push back up, keeping your body in a straight line without sagging your hips. This movement strengthens the shoulders, chest, triceps, and core, while improving straight-arm strength and wrist flexibility, which are essential for progressing toward a full planche.
