Static Test #1 (Frog Stand)

Here's me performing a frog for my first static test (17 Jan 2009). I'm seeing how long I can hold it for and will try to improve over the next 6 weeks.

I am trying to learn the planche. This is the first progression for it.

At this stage of the progression it is working the arm and shoulder muscles. They have to remain tense to keep yourself upright. It's preparing them for the harder progressions like the tuck planche, straddle planche, and eventually the full planche. By then you'll be using your whole body to maintain the static postion.

this exercise is for what muscle in particular?

Hey little froggy, where do you get your information from for form and learning to progress from froggy to planche etc?

That's awesome. Get those arms straighter tho! :D
