Planche Push-up - Week 9

By Me on 2025-03-06

Stagnation?

Due to other commitments we didn't get to go to the office this week. As per usual in these situations I just did the workout at my regular gym.

Day 1

My shoulder is finally improving, but I don't want to overdo it so I kept my dips shallow. I did do a short straight arm hold after the dips. It's a lot harder than doing the hold by itself.

I skipped the triangle push-ups again though.

Day 2

I noticed that I don't really see any progress other than it maybe feeling harder/easier? But without a good way to track it I can't be sure. I'll have to think about a good way to do this for the planche lean, it feels too subjective right now.

Curls were a bit too easy this week, I'll have to increase the weight next time.

Next Week

I'll keep taking things slow even though I'm feeling better. I'll up the weight on the curls next time.
