im not tryna hate, but shouldn't you be a little further than that after 8 weeks? Like im not saying you should already be at an advanced tuck planche but I've been training for a month and I can hold my hips higher than my shoulders. or is your goal not to lift them higher?
wen i do my tuck planches i have my knees on the outside of my arms n i noticed ur arms were on the inside of ur arms. does it matter where ur knees are?
@narokuhitsugaya123 If your goal is to eventually do a full planche then I don't see a reason why it would make a difference. If you aren't using your knees as support then I imagine it would be just as hard, if not harder.
@narokuhitsugaya123 with the knees outside your arms, you can eventually start the transition into training for a straddle L-sit. Like Bongobear said, don't rest on your arms once you feel comfortable in the balance position and you have the strength in your biceps to hold straight/locked arms.
@narokuhitsugaya123 hey, i started off doing these with my arms on the inside, before i could get them on the outside, its a good begginers way to do it.
I just was able to hold a frog stand for a minute today and I'm looking to start doing the tuck planche. When I tried it out later in the day, my arms were massively bent and I could barely get my legs off the floor. I am actually working on a few gymnastic goals and have that same "build toward a minute static hold for one set" progression, but I can't even make it a second for this position. what was your experience like? do you have any tips?
@papercrow27 My experience was similar actually. After training the frog stand for a few weeks and reaching close to a minute a decided to move on to the tuck planche. However I could only hold it for 2 or 3 secs. I didnt' find much carry over from the frog stand. I decided to just do reps as oppose to holds. So perhaps doing 5 reps of your 1 sec tuck planche. When you start to build strength then move onto isometrics/static holds again.
@bongobear43 thanks! I noticed in one of your videos that you were doing a tuck planche off of some kettlebells (instead of the floor). Do you think that helped?
@papercrow27 It does make it a bit easier on the wrists. But overall it is just as difficult. I did most of my training on the floor. But everyone has a different preference.
@papercrow27 keep practicing everyday. you will get there. i am 35 years old 6 foot 2 inches , 90 kg with ZERO gymnastic experience and started doing the tuck plance a couple of months ago. I am now up to a 20 second tuck planche. it will come with patience and practice. if i can do it, anyone can. good luck.
@blackvitruvianman Thanks man. I'm 5'11 at 165 lbs and a former amateur boxer with no gymnastic experience (except for one week in college) and I was inspired by a video by a 69 year old guy who made so much progress in 1 year of practicing gymnastic movements. I rely exclusively on bodyweight exercises for strength and conditioning, but have gotten bored with them, so this seemed like a great new thing to do.
@papercrow27 wow, 69 years old. where can i view that video? my progress will be very slow toward the straddle planche because i don't lift weights and not very athletic. you should progress very fast due to your athletic background, but everyone is different i guess. i think i will post a video once i get to a 60 second tuck just to motivate other people. good luck with your progress.
I had the same problem and I found the solution. I am almost certain that right now your knees are placed outside of your elbows. The next progression is to place your knees directly behind your slightly straighter elbows. Ideally you want to straighten out your elbows but for me that caused a balance issue. Also if you find that as you warm up and start sweating your knees slip off your elbows then place a towel between your knees and elbows to create friction. good luck.
Hey, I've been checking your vids out, good stuff man, you got me beat lol. I got my first tuck planche last week, managed three sets of 3-4 seconds, yesterday I was getting sets of 6-7 seconds. I want to be able to do planche pressups by the summer..check out my vids :)
How you get into that balancing position? I'm trying it from a frog stand, but when I try putting my hands infront of my feet to go into the planche, it feels like I'm just gonna fall on my face. Should I just do it or do you have any advice for me?
@bongobear43 try doing it monday, tuesday wednesday. this allows you to get the most of your workout during these days and then during the days you're not training, you have more time to recover and more time for your muscles to get stronger.

@narokuhitsugaya123 Knees inside of your arms is far far harder at this stage of the progressions.

@narokuhitsugaya123 yes it does, if it's outside your knees it's not a tucked planche, it's more of a frog hold.

@papercrow27 if your arms are straight while doing the frogstand it should help for the tuck planche

How did you go about going from frog stand -> tuck planche??
UselessSkill 2 years ago
Once I felt comfortable with the frog stand (45secs - 1 minute) I moved onto the tuck planche.
I could only hold it for 5 secs struggling.
I did 12 x 5 sec sets to start with.
When that was easy I did 10 x 6 secs...
then 6 x 10 secs etc...
(all adding up to 1 minute)
It took me about a month to get a 20 sec tuck planche.

How often do you train these isometric holds?

I try to do them 3 times a week, Mon Wed Fri. I spend about 45minutes - 1hour altogether on the different exercises.

Yea i have the same problem with moving on to the straddle planche, its my lower back. Its just so damn hard to get ur lower back properly trained.
But if you keep being consequent you'll get there eventually. Props
