Jason Udo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 should i be working towards the planche on both the parallettes and the floor? will working the planche solely on the floor enable you to planche on the parallettes with not much difference?

Paolo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well I only practiced on parallelettes to reduce the wear and tear on my wrists. I just listened to what Jim from BeastSkills said. I didn't practice planche on floor very much because my wrists got sore, so I just stopped altogether. I only started training on floor this month and I didn't really feel much a difference from p-bars. It takes a while to get used to the balance when transitioning from p-bars to floor. To answer your question: Yes and Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Udo Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 i'm just going to have to experiment, thanks for your reply. is that you in the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Burnham Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It's up to you which one you want to train. I do floor because I find the wrist prep to be helpful. Also it's harder to balance on floor so I find I can transition to pbars and its actually easier. I also have planche in my floor routine currently. Do whatever is more comfortable to you.

Brian Li Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've found the balance for planche on bars or push-up handles just as hard as on floor. I turn them out to mimic my hand position for the floor planche which is fingers back, but I hardly train with bars so maybe that's why. You guys really found floor planche to be harder to balance than PB planche? I would have thought that it would have been easier on floor since you can help balance with your fingers and palms especially if you have the fingers pointing more forward instead of just the wrists in PB planches. For the OP: I've heard that PB planches tend to be a bit easier since you can exert more force on bars than floor. So you can usually hold it for longer on bars. For example Vass can hold planche on PB for almost 20 seconds and only hold floor planche for around 10 seconds and rings for a few seconds. I personally don't find much of a difference in strength requirements between floor and bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keilani Gutierrez Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 what would you say is a benefit of using your hands in various positions? say fingers forward, would that make the hand much stronger? or would fingers back do the same thing?

Fingers back will put more strain on the elbow which may cause problems for some beginners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Burnham Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The most optimal is the one that let's you progress without injury. With that said hands backward more closely matches the strain on the rings, though I find rings much harder than either on floor. Zach Armijo has mentioned doing hands forward more at first and then moving to hands backwards in later progressions. I'm not doing either exclusively and think that if you can handle hands back, doing it some at first is ok. Just be careful and don't think that because you can do one, that you can do the other.

Nic Branson Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Our general guideline is to turn the hands out slightly to avoid the stress on the wrists but do not turn them further then 90 degrees, basically straight out to the sides. This is to not overly stress your elbows and biceps until they have been properly conditioned. Work toward your goals. Myself it is mostly work on parallettes due to an old wrist injury that requires extra work on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alempoli91 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hi mates.... If I am preparing Planche, the previous progressions, as Tuck Planche, perform 3-4 sets 80% of my maximum...or 6-8 sets 50-60% of my maximum??? Before moving on to the next step, how many seconds I have to keep the Tuck Planche (on the floor)??? THANKS TO ALL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
