Another planche progression workout, but this time focused on bent-arm strength. . Still finding handstand push-ups quite tough so after a couple of sets I dropped down to pike push-ups instead. By the time I reached tuck planche push-ups I was wishing I'd done them first followed by pike push-ups as my shoulders were feeling well worked. . 💪🏻 Handstand push-ups 💪🏻 Pike push-ups 💪🏻 Tuck planche push-ups 💪🏻 Pseudo planche push-ups 💪🏻 Planche lean scapula push-ups 💪🏻 Whippet superset with... 💪🏻 Tricep pushdowns . #plancheprogression #fitoverforty #fitover40 #roadtoplanche #planchejourney #journeytoplanche https://www.instagram.com/p/B7b88J5Jmpf/?igshid=jdgqxiedwkf2

Kicking off the week with a planche power workout focusing on bent-arm strength gains. . As with most workouts, I perform the more taxing exercises earlier on in the session with around 2 minutes rest in-between sets. Rest times shorten as the exercises take less of a toll on my central nervous system - note that I still go to failure on most sets so the intensity is still high. . I like to superset exercises that are more isolation movements in order to save time as in the last two in this workout. . 💪🏻 Handstand push-ups on bars /dumbbells (elbows tight) 💪🏻 Handstand push-ups on floor (elbows at 45-degrees) 💪🏻 Deficit pike push-ups 💪🏻 Pseudo planche push-ups 💪🏻 Reverse hyperextensions superset with 💪🏻 One-arm scapula push-ups . Anybody else find the hardest thing with reverse hypers is trying to breathe?! 🥵 . #handstandpushups #roadtoplanche #planchejourney #journeytoplanche #fitoverforty #fitover40 https://www.instagram.com/p/B56NI01pIhl/?igshid=ausyckm9f2hi

Good planche session today. . Shoulders were feeling strong which in turn allowed me to put recent work to help lift my legs more horizontal into practice. . I love blasting out mechanical drop sets to keep pushing through failure. It’s got to be one of the greatest benefits of bodyweight training aside from the fact that it’s so much fun! . #straddleplanche #straddleplanchepushups #roadtoplanche #planchejourney #journeytoplanche #fitoverforty #fitover40 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tfe_-JuBO/?igshid=1eugtda59qng1

My scaps were feeling strong today and as such I was able to explore my straddle planche little more than previously. Instead of burning out with a max straddle hold, I was able to transition into mechanically easier movement and even back into straddle planche again. . Needless to say, I didn't get to spend any time on progression exercises today. It was mostly just play! . Having seen @theliftingmurse do some wicked straddle planche push-ups I thought I'd give them a go at the end of my session! I guess I have a new thing to work on! 😄 . #straddleplanche #straddleplanchepushups #roadtoplanche #planchejourney #journeytoplanche #fitoverforty #fitover40 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5L19lUJpW8/?igshid=qt008nhd795d
