Overview
You'd be hard pressed to find an exercise more well known than the push up. For many people, it was likely the first formal exercise they ever did. It's a highly functional movement, works almost all of your upper body pushing muscles in addition to your core, and allows for natural hand placement and scapular movement. It also requires absolutely no equipment and can be done almost anywhere.
However, the standard push up is only useful for building strength up to a point. That's where the planche push up progression comes in. By leaning forward, so that your shoulders in front of your hands, you can increase the resistance and continue to build your upper body pushing strength.
