Planche Push-up - Week 4

As expected, this week was very busy. We had lots of work to do so we rushed our gym sessions. In addition my should recovery has been really slow so I decided to skip/change some exercises.

Day 1

I kept the plank at 90 seconds, but I noticed I have to cheat a little to make it till the end. I'll be working on trying to keep tension in my body.

Rather than skipping the dips I replaced them with straight arm holds. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I didn't feel discomfort in my shoulder during the exercise or later in the day. I managed roughly 45 seconds, with a little movement rotating my body but making sure my arms were still straight.

Given the time squeeze and my shoulder recovery I decided to skip the push-ups.

Day 2

We rushed through the program, keeping weights and durations the same as the previous week. For the handstand I tried to push away from the wall a little bit but I lose balance almost straight away. I'll do a little research on whether I should continue with the wall or start doing some other form to help me with balance rather than power.

Next Week

Next week will most likely be a busy week again and I want to keep giving my shoulder some rest, so no lofty goals. Just putting in a little time and keep working on the program.
