It looks to me physiologically impossible. I don't see how we can produce so much force from our post-delt. and surroundings to keep this complete extension. Looking over the picture and the all of the body positioning. 1. To rephrase what Alessandro stated. Someone would dislocate their shoulder before reaching horizontal. In the picture the upper arm is being held fully internally rotated which is in one of the weakest positions for the shoulder joint. 2. As for a scaled down version, I can not think of any. Especially If the shoulder joint is going to remain internally rotated, as seen in the picture. In the "Men's Artistic Gymnastic code of points" (AKA: MAG code of points) starting at page 42-53 of the linked pdf file there is no "Reverse" planche. "Planche" itself is called a "Support Lever." With the shoulders externally rotated, see the suggestions in the posts above. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquin Malagon Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 To avoid confusion Etienne was referring to the inverted planche and Alessandro was referring to the reverse planche form seen in bboying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that's impossible to hold the position as seen on the first picture and that a reverse planche (stated in other posts here) was the only way to do it.
