Gregor Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 http://s4.tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo= ... Ii3g%3D%3D}}Here is a video that I made. It's for shoulders and biceps strength especialy for planche!In video you may see, that body is to arched, but it's just optical, because legs are not on the higher surface (it should be aprox. 15 cm higher).1. watch on a body position2. you can use also parralets, rings3. you can lower more or less4. be careful if you go to low for faceplant :roll: 5. always push only with hands!!!!I usualy do 3x5 reps and last one is 5 seconds holds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 http://s4.tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo= ... Ko4g%3D%3D}}Another video of 2 secods straddle planche. 1.You can see clearly at the begining that I'm turning my elbows to lock position!2. lift first upper body and then legs (prevents you to be arched).Tips:it's easier from straddle seat (in video I didn't think for seat :oops: , so don't criticize my seat :oops: ).

Ludwik Benning Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks for the video.. so once or twice a week after static planche work is done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'm doing it 3 times a weak every second day, if you mean for the first video.You can do planche first, if you are scared you'll be to tired to make quality work on a planche.

Nic Scheelings Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Cool Vids Gregor,I think i've seen that done with feet on a small Swiss ball, what do u think of that idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Gregor, in the first video, I would actually consider your back and shoulder to be super hollow to an extreme. Is there a reason you keep your head tucked in? Nice straddle planche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yes, I had a problems with arching and we want to repair the mistake. About Super hollowing, if legs are higher it doesn't look so hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambo5501 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 You said 15 cm. Is that like the best position for the feet? Does higher make it harder? Or easier if lower?Also, lets say if you work on the front lever, etc. MondayWill the elbows be fine if you work planches on Tusday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Smith Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I presume, correct me if wrong, that Gregor means your feet should be at shoulder height as that is the body position for a planche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personly don't see any problems with elbows for front lever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambo5501 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ok good.And does weighted ring dips help on working for the planche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 No. It's not the same movement. It helps for generall condition.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-Paul Potter Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Have been training planche now for just over a month (only once a week at the moment) and have gone from falling flat on my face on my first attempt to holding a solid 20 sec tucked planche. After my first session i couldnt get over the amount of muscle that are in use to correctly hold position and this is were my question comes from. I notice that now and then while after about 10sec i get a sharp pain in my right lat but as soon as i stop the pain goes and i have no noticable discomfort after. Has anyone else experienced this?Best regards JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Just muscle working, nothing serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-Paul Potter Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Gregor said: Just muscle working, nothing serious.Hi pain is still persisting is this simply cramping due to lack of muscle strength and is it usual to get it one side rather than both? And will it disipate as muscle gets stronger??Best regards JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.percussion Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I have a similar pain that I get during Handstands. I'm not sure if yours and mine are the same JPP but, I have found that thoroughly stretching seems to help a bit. As well as head placement. It I try to look straight down(therefore arching my back) it seems to intensify. Keeping your spine less arched may help you like it helped me. Just a thought...

Just a thought...Hi Matthew thanks for your response, will try to spend some extra time stretching that area prior to exercise see if that helps. I do try to keep head and neck straight so dont think that is the problem....as for my back i am only at the tucked progression at the moment so not strong enough to do flat tucked Just dont want to push training to much and risk injury (which i have been prone to in the past) :oops: Best regards JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Is it better to learn by pointing your fingers at your toes like you do? It's a lot harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be really happy to just learn a planche on the floor. I'm having trouble with the my tuck planche still, I can hold a straight-arm frogstand with good form for thirty secounds, but whenever I try the tuck planche with my hips shoulder level ,I always slowly lower to my knees or I hold it but not at shoulder level.

Blairbob Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sasquatch, as you get stronger, you'll be able to hold your hips as high as your shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.percussion Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 If you wanted to be able to do a planche with fingers pointed toward your toes does it help to first get the strength to do it with fingers to side or front first?Or should I start retraining with fingers toward toes?
