Hi everyone, First i'm sorry for my english, i'm a french gymnast and coach too i don't speak english very well. I work alone the stradlle planche during 9 month without any rest ( 4 - 6 day per week), i have a solid tuck planche (20 sec ) and 10 sec ADV tuck planche, i can hold the straddle for 2 sec max. I have all straight and bent arm variation ( press to handstand pike, straddle and tuck and bent arm planche to handstand straight and straddle ) I begins to loose my strenght this week, i can't hold the straddle anymore, i thinks i need some rest and i will stop the max isometric work for 10 day. I continue the basic strenght routine. Do you thinks i more interessting to stop max isometric strenght and wait to recover my strenght or continue to increase my ADV tuck planche for 15 seconde. If i stop any form off isometric work i a m scared to loose my strenght. Wath should i do ? Ps : Thank you for all information on this website, the french gymnastics community does not have any website like this and its very difficult to find good advice and explication too.

This is the first time I've posted here, so sorry if I didn't include enough information. A few weeks ago I noticed a pain in my right leg after fencing practice. It only hurts when I do a straddle stretch, leaning towards my right leg or the middle. Middle split is painless though right split hurts a bit. It hurts just below my right glute. Any knowledge of what I've hurt and how to fix it would be enormously appreciated! Thanks

hey guys, I am currently using advanced tuck planche push ups and have hit a plateau, so i tried to progress onto half lay straddle planche holds but i was too weak for that. anyway i discovered and intermediate (image attached) and was wandering whether you guys thought it was worth training. thankyou if it is good, what would it be called?

Hi, i was wondering how i can increase my mobility on the straddle position. I have been trying side splits not for a very long time , but i would be thankfull if you could share your own experiences. Thanks P.S first post here!
