@Shadoweprinz Chinese acrobats make it look easy. This guys looks like he hasn't really done this thoughtfully. He has the strength, however, hasn't learned. First, go really slow. Pause when you shake, explore why, hard to explain unless you explore this a lot. But with better attention, this man could be really impressive. Yet, as now, he is muscling his way threw. Like yoga, or rock climbing, requires patience and willingness to change old way.
Like most gymnastics strength elements the planche requires a large number of muscle groups. Mostly from the core (abs), also shoulders, triceps, some areas of the pectorals and even back.
Some people say because they can bench their body weight the only thing stopping them from doing planche push ups is balance, but that is not true.
Try setting up under a bench press barbell with the bar over your navel, and bench it from there and you start getting an idea of what goes into planche push ups
Very true, couldn't have said it any better. Also the most common standard grip bench press exercise doesn't require nearly as many muscle groups working at the same time as planche pushups do.
He used to compete and swing rings, but now he just focuses on strength training. As far as his height I would say he is about 5ft. 7" or 5ft. 8" So he isn't short especially compared to the average gymnast. Thanks for the comment
He is 22 years old, weights about 170 or 175. He can also do a Maltese, Iron cross and Inverted cross on the rings. As well as some various strength exercises like 1 arm chin up and 1 arm pull up.
wow, thanks for the quick responses! he weighs over 170 lbs!? thats hard to believe!, especially if he can do an inverted cross and maltese. get some of this on film!
He competed in highschool, but now attends a college that doesn't have a team. He is focusing on school now and doing workouts such as this to stay in shape.
yes, perfect form!!! maximum kudos!!!

Do you know your bench press max? That would be quite interesting as a comparison

Sorry but it is not a valid comparison.
Some people say because they can bench their body weight the only thing stopping them from doing planche push ups is balance, but that is not true.
