We tried yoga poses… Bad idea
You’re doing 100 reps of nothing. You start training planche. You want scapula strength. So you do scapula push-ups: elbows bending, shoulders elevating, no control. Just movement. And at the end, you gain nothing. This is a straight-arm scapula push-up. Arms stay locked. The movement comes only from the shoulder blades. Set the position first: shoulders depressed, full protraction, posterior pelvic tilt, full body engaged. Hold one second. Go all the way down with locked arms. Push your upper back to the sky, open the scapula, and hold the top. Then give extra stimulus - squeeze harder than feels normal. That’s the part everyone skips. And that’s where the planche is built.
Who did more push ups? @lukeastunt @_ccwawman
