How to do full planche push-up
Start in a push-up position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Engage your core and lower your body down towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
As you lower yourself, lean your body forward and lift your feet off the ground, balancing on your hands.
Continue to lower your body until your chest is just above the ground.
Push through your hands and extend your arms to lift your body back up to the starting position.
Maintain a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the movement.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
