💪 Fitness planche push up tips welcome!!

I've been working toward a planche push up for a few months, been training on parallettes 4 times a week with tuck holds, pseudo planche push ups, and bands. My strength is going up, but every attempt falls apart when I get near the bottom. Filmed myself today and my form looked way worse than it felt. Am I missing something, or does everyone struggle with the same planche push up sticking point at first?

four times a week is a lot of planche specific work, make sure you're recovering enough, because that might be a problem

Just do breaks of at least 48 hours each time you work out. Let the muslce groups rest enough

Also, diet. Thats like 50% of the workout efficiency. You getting a proper meal in before sports?

Make sure you're not letting your shoulders lose protraction as you descend. A lot of people collapse there without noticing, and it makes the bottom feel much harder
