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.
