Is Knees-Chest-Chin a Good Prep for Chaturanga?

It's commonly taught in the yoga world that if we don't have the strength to practice chaturanga (yoga's push-up), we should practice "knees-chest-chin" instead – and with enough time practicing this pose, we'll eventually gain the strength we need for chaturanga. But is this true, biomechanically? In this video, Jenni examines this question. And the perspective she shares might surprise you (regardless of which side of the fence you fall on!)
