Can you do a planche pushup? I'm working towards it, nearly

Just keep practicing and building upper body strength, you can be fat as fatass and still get it.

What for, you planning to join a circus or something?

What this anon said.
Like, why the fuck is he doing that? amirite?

Gotta go do deadlifts now, as they actually help me in real life scenarios.

>>38879065
It is just an impressive thing to be able to do. Like if you are at a cottage with your circle of friends, do you want to be the guy that can do blackflips and shit, or the chubby guy that says he can squat 3x his body weight.

As someone who does train them I can tell you that guy has shit form. Your body has to be hollow and your scapula protracted through the movement.

I'd rather be doing strongman type shit so I pick up big ass boulders and shit. Planche shit is cool I'm too high bf and my shoulders seem to hate that stuff

Do you need lower back strength to straighten your legs like that or is it all upperbody? Does it matter which way your fingers are facing?

>Do you need lower back strength to straighten your legs like that
Yes. Weighted planks xF

That's like asking why people do squats or deadlifts when those two actions don't apply at all to your everyday life outside of roiding

>>38879230
Squats are a very functional movement my man. Deadlifts not so much tho.

>>38879043
Thats as far from a planche as you are from being a worthwhile human bean desu.

>>38879306
what the fuck could possibly be more functional than picking up something heavy off the floor?

>>38879859
Running without getting tired, being able to carry what you pick up for more than a step, and so on.

given how focused everyone here is on not knowing how to talk to girls, youd think more people would be trying to do showoff shit like this. girls dont give a shit about your bench, but theyd love seeing a guy demonstrating his strength like this
