PSEUDO PLANCHE PUSH-UPS
How can a push-up help you with the development of your biceps? We know; it sounds silly. And we agree with you.
That being said, the pseudo planche push-up is the exception to that rule; especially if you make one slight adjustment.
Instead of doing the push-up with your fingers pointing forward, do it with the fingers pointing backward.
This grip change, coupled with the mechanics of the exercise, will force your biceps tendon to do a lot of the heavy lifting.
How to do it:
• 1. Get in a high plank with your fingers pointing backward
• 2. Protract the scapula and lean forward as much as you can
• 3. When you find the maximum leaning point, descend to the bottom position of a push-up, then push yourself back up
• 4. Hold the lean throughout the entire movement.
You will feel your biceps work and your anterior deltoid burning.
The pseudo planche push-up is a difficult exercise, but it’s certainly worth your while as one of the best bodyweight bicep exercises.
