Planche Development part 1

Planche Development part 1.
I've always suffered from a very weak upper body and back so poses like the planche has seemed like an impossible task for me. Starting out easy like the first level in this video, including progressions and variations, has helped me a lot. Still a looong way to go, though. Consider this video as a statement of my personal level Oktober 15th, 2009.

@paintballforever24 Thank you for your kind comment. The fact that you have the strength to do this, does not mean that everybody else should be able to do it. I suggest that you use your positive energy elsewhere, if this is of no interest to you.

Planche Development means he's developing towards doing the actual planche. Did any of you even read the title properly??

@Ali92PI Thanks for your support. Sooo many like to throw their shit out here without even reading the text. With a lifetime of back pain this is my starting point. Working on shoulder and arm strength now, and I still doubt that I ever will be able to do a planche. But if you put up impossible goals for yourself, you might find out that impossible turns into possible some day :-)

You are all so cute... ;-)

As I wrote in the text for my video, this is my starting point for developing proper strength in my back for this pose. I know this is (still) not a planche, but an elbow lever. For some this may seem easy, for others not.

Lately I've been working mostly with my Clubbells to build arm and upper body strength, but there's soon time to return to my planche develpment again. Watch out for video part 2. Maybe in part 5 I can actually do a planche pose :-)

@fraev Hello, this is commonly known as "Elbow Lever". The best and hardest exercise to improve and advance after tuck planche is .. tuck planche push ups haha

I've never seen such a progression in achieving the planche. Actually I'm struggling myself on a tuck planche.

Good luck!

im sorry to say this will have no good effects the best thing you could do to work towards it is my sitting on the floor with your legs out in front lift you legs up so they dont touch the floor and go into handstands now i am able to hold a planche. im 12 stone and 15

@Tesuchpwnsu From what I've seen, it doesn't depend solely on the size of the person, but instead the dedication of the person training. If you're a bodybuilder then you know that dedication is required to be able to do such exercises. I've seen a guy who could do a human flag at about 250+ lbs.

@MrYusuf2310 Yes, this is an elbow lever so my elbows are pressed into my body. For a full planche arms will be straight and elbows free from the body.

[MrYusuf2310]

are u leaning on your elbows?

I've been body building for some time now, and I'd really love to learn how to do exercises like that and planche style workouts to develop muscle control and balance. Most of the people I've seen doing that sort of thing are of much lighter build, though, really lean and muscular, but not overly muscular. I enjoy body building but am of quite a heavier build (6 feet tall, 235 lbs), and I just don't know if such limber maneuvers are feasible for someone my size.
