Joshua Slocum Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Zach is correct: you need to lean further forwards, until your wrists are just in front of your hip-bones. Also I believe it is recommended to begin planche leans with the hands facing forwards or to the sides; hands backwards is a more advanced variation.

Mats Trane Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 One little detail that makes a big difference in PL leans is how you set your toes/feet up. Look at the attached picture. The top of your toes should face downwards. This makes less easy to cheat meaning less weight on your toes. It will also force you to tighten your core. Everything should be tight including core, legs and feet.Try it, you will see what I mean. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SuperBru Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I believe that is a Pseudo Maltese lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Slocum Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I believe that is a Pseudo Maltese lean.A maltese lean would be with the hands at roughly double shoulder width; the same position as the top of a PMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
