In this video FitnessFAQ’s delves deeper into the differences between a pushup and a forearm plank. The forearm plank is more challenging compared to the floor pushup plank due to a greater challenge occurring via gravity. In the pushup position the body is at a slight incline creating a natural advantage. The forearm plank is easier from a contact perspective as the forearms offer a larger surface area increasing the base of support. One way to make the pushup plank more challenging is to offset the incline by elevating the feet. Now the body is parallel with the floor and the demand is increased. FitnessFAQ’s prefers the pushup plank with feet elevated as the movement demands more of the scapula stabilisers. This coupled with the specificity of hand contact means greater transferibility to bodyweight skills.
