Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Strength Standards

Under strict Pseudo Planche Push-Ups strength standards, Novice starts around 3 reps for men age 20-29 and 2 reps for women age 20-29, while Elite starts around 25 reps for men and 19 reps for women.

Enter your sex, bodyweight, age, and strict reps to see whether your Pseudo Planche Push-Ups is Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, or Elite for your bodyweight and age.

The calculator compares your valid strict reps with the Pseudo Planche Push-Ups standards for your sex, bodyweight, and age. This keeps the result focused on bodyweight performance instead of load, estimated 1RM, or a different exercise.

Understanding Your Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Strength Score

Your Pseudo Planche Push-Ups score is the number of strict reps completed in one continuous set. Enter the total number of strict reps completed in the continuous set; do not combine separate sets. The calculator compares that result with the standards for the sex, age range, and bodyweight you select.

The score is useful only when every attempt follows the same movement standard. Begin the attempt from this position: a rigid plank with hands near the hips, fingers oriented safely, shoulders clearly forward of the wrists, and feet on the floor. Keep the same forward lean and rigid body while lowering the chest to the prescribed depth, then press to full elbow extension.

Count the result this way: score total reps only; do not aggregate separate sets or substitute another side-count convention. Shoulders drifting behind wrists, hips sagging or piking, shortened depth, knee contact, bouncing, hand-position changes, assistance, or external added weight. Retests use the same apparatus, setup, range, side order where applicable, and counting or timing rule.

Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Strength Standards

These are Endura’s standards for comparing consistent Pseudo Planche Push-Ups attempts. They are exercise-specific practical benchmarks, not population averages.

How Endura set these standards: The approved Pseudo Planche Push-Ups model defines Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite strict-repetition benchmarks for men and women in five age groups. Each exact threshold and tier boundary is checked against the calculator before publication.

The tables organize Pseudo Planche Push-Ups standards by sex and age. Compare your strict reps in one continuous set with the Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite columns. A result below the Novice threshold is classified as Beginner.

For example, men age 20-29 reach Intermediate at 8 reps, Advanced at 15 reps, and Elite at 25 reps. Women age 40-49 reach those same levels at 5 reps, 10 reps, and 15 reps. These examples come directly from the table values above.

Use the calculator to apply your exact inputs, place your result in the correct level, and see the next target without doing the table lookup yourself.

How the Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Calculator Works

The calculator uses your sex, age group, bodyweight, and total strict reps from one continuous set. Enter the strict reps completed in one continuous set; do not combine separate sets. It compares that score with the exercise-specific Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite thresholds. Because higher is stronger for this test, more valid reps can move the result to a higher level.

The result shows your standards level, entered score, the sex and age group used, and your next target. An exact threshold counts as the higher level. Using the men’s age 20-29 reference row, 8 strict reps is Intermediate and Advanced begins at 15 strict reps, making the next target 7 additional strict reps. The calculator handles the tier lookup and target math automatically.

The calculator cannot inspect your attempt. It assumes the number entered follows the Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Testing Rules. If the attempt became invalid before you stopped, enter only the valid reps completed before the first invalid rep.

Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Testing Rules

Use one continuous set and record the total number of strict reps. The calculator compares the number you enter with the Pseudo Planche Push-Ups standards, but it cannot verify how the attempt was performed. Use the exercise-specific requirements below before entering a score.

Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Testing Checklist

Testing ruleRequirement
Exact testKeep the same forward lean and rigid body while lowering the chest to the prescribed depth, then press to full elbow extension.
StartA rigid plank with hands near the hips, fingers oriented safely, shoulders clearly forward of the wrists, and feet on the floor.
Valid range or positionKeep the same forward lean and rigid body while lowering the chest to the prescribed depth, then press to full elbow extension.
Count or timeScore total reps only; do not aggregate separate sets or substitute another side-count convention.
Tempo and pausesUse controlled motion or a continuous hold; no bounce, kip, rest position, or pace change that obscures the required range.
AssistanceNo bands, partner help, machine help, foot or hand support outside the named setup, counterweight, or external added weight.
StopShoulders drifting behind wrists, hips sagging or piking, shortened depth, knee contact, bouncing, hand-position changes, assistance, or external added weight.
Retest consistentlyRetests use the same apparatus, setup, range, side order where applicable, and counting or timing rule.

What Counts and What Does Not Count

Enter only the exact Pseudo Planche Push-Ups test described in the checklist. The examples below separate that test from common substitutions that use different loading, assistance, range, position, equipment, or counting rules.

Attempt or variationEnter it?Why
Pseudo Planche Push-UpsYesThis is the exact exercise when it follows every start, range or position, counting or timing, assistance, and stop rule above.
ordinary push-ups, planche push-ups, tuck planche push-upsNoThese are nearby movements or positions, but they are not the same test.
weighted vest, belt, plateNoAdded resistance changes the exercise and the meaning of the score.
band-assisted, partner-assisted, machine-assistedNoExternal support changes the work required and makes the result noncomparable.
partial range, bounce, kipNoAltered range, position, resets, or counting can inflate the entered result.
any apparatus or setup that materially changes leverage, stability, rangeNoA different setup can change support, leverage, range, or difficulty.

When a call is borderline, stop the score before the first invalid rep and enter only the valid total. That keeps Pseudo Planche Push-Ups results useful for comparison over time. Apply the same checklist every time you retest.

Elite Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Strength Levels

Elite begins when your total strict-rep score meets or exceeds the Elite threshold for the applicable sex and age group. Because the tier boundary is lower-inclusive, a score exactly equal to the threshold counts as Elite. The table shows every public Elite starting point for Pseudo Planche Push-Ups.

Reference groupElite starts at
Men age 20-2925 strict reps
Men age 30-3923 strict reps
Men age 40-4920 strict reps
Men age 50-5916 strict reps
Men age 60+13 strict reps
Women age 20-2919 strict reps
Women age 30-3917 strict reps
Women age 40-4915 strict reps
Women age 50-5912 strict reps
Women age 60+10 strict reps

An Elite result still has to follow the same Pseudo Planche Push-Ups Testing Rules; if the attempt became invalid earlier, use only the valid reps completed before the first invalid rep. After Elite, the calculator can show a separate rep stretch target when one is available, but that target does not replace or redefine the Elite threshold.

Milestones and Next Targets

Your next Pseudo Planche Push-Ups target is the first strength-level threshold above your current valid rep score. The calculator uses your selected sex, age group, bodyweight, and strict reps in one continuous set, subtracts your result from that threshold, and shows the exact additional strict reps needed.

The table shows the complete jumps between level starting points for the age 20–29 reference group; your personal gap may be smaller because it begins from your current result rather than the previous level’s minimum.

ProgressionMen age 20-29Women age 20-29
Novice → Intermediate+5 strict reps+4 strict reps
Intermediate → Advanced+7 strict reps+6 strict reps
Advanced → Elite+10 strict reps+7 strict reps
