Hi! I’ve been frequenting the gymnastic bodies forums for quite some time now and just recently decided to take the plunge and try the free trial. Im having some trouble deciding where to start. Part of me wants to start at the complete beginning and move through all of the progressions first 2 reasons. First of all I want to go back through and smooth out any weak points I might have and give my body the proper time to adjust. Secondly, I am a strength coach and I feel it would be extremely beneficial for me to go through the learning process from beginning to end as a student so I have a better understanding of how to implement gymnastics strength with my athletes/clients. A little bit about where I’m at right now: 1-2 one arm chin ups on rings and on a bar 15 freestanding HSPU 5-6 freestanding HSPU full ROM on bars 2 stalder presses in a row 6ish second straddle planche front lever is pretty weak, I can control a full eccentric but have no more than a 3 second hold can’t really hold a bent arm planche on the floor but I can do a few straddle hollow body presses full middle and front splits but they are not that comfortable yet. will include some videos and pictures for proof

Hi every one, I want to do galimores on rings, i have a good front lever to adv tuck for 5x5 good rep, i can hold 5x15 adv tuck on ring at my own bodyweight and 4x 10 sec weighted with 4 kg ( i actually don't like to weight the ADV tuck on ring because i can't feel the good position). I can't hold straddle planche on the ring i just can make in the position for a little moment ( l sit to straddle ) I'm confuse of wath type off exercice i must do, bodyweight adv tuck for 3-4x20 sec ? weighted ? more l sit to straddle ? Thx for your advice

Hi all, hi tried this moove for fun, i m so close when i rise up but the strenght sensation motivated me to train this moove. How many seconde i can hold straddle planche for begin straddle planche to handstand and what kind of training for achieve this hard moove ? I tought at some straddle planche to handstand assisted with a band, handstand lower to planche maybe, i don't have a spotter and i have only paralette for training.

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.

So what i want to know is when you reached a point in your planche training where you had to start doing straddle planches, how long could you hold it? i can hold a legit straddle planche only 2 secods, so should i continue training by doing straddle planches?
