Planche Push-up - Week 5

Another busy week, another uneventful workout. At least we're still putting in the time.

Day 1

Due to a scheduling conflict we had to rush our workout even more to make room for a group that booked the gym. We cut the amount of dips and pull-ups in half and did them as alternating sets to save time.

I skipped the triangle push-ups since my shoulder is still not 100% healed.

Day 2

I felt like the planche lean was a bit easier this time around. I managed to hold it for 30 seconds without much movement. I'll try to lean a little further next time. Leg raises are also getting easier, and the Scott Curls I should probably increase the weight next time.

I tried to push away from the wall again for the handstand, but the best I managed was around a second before I had to move my hands a bit and lost balance. I should do some research on what the next step is.

As a final exercise we did dumbell deadlifts. My friend's having problems slouching so we thought this would be a good exercise to help him out. I realised I never really did dumbell deadlifts before, I always went for the barbell version. It was fun to try something different.

Next Week

My friend will be away for a few days so we might skip the office gym sessions. If we do, I'll be doing the program at my regular gym while keeping an eye on my shoulder.
