Static Test #1 (Tuck Planche)

Yes I do suck at this.

Here's me performing a tuck planche 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.

This is another progression toward the planche.

Yeah, pretty amazing eh.

@bongobear43 That's a great start, no reason to be hard on your self. Are you able to do it now?

[bongobear43]

@dying2l Yeah I have improved a bit since filming this. My longest hold was probably 20 seconds when I was training this regularly.

where did you get those 2 handle thingies?

[bongobear43]

They are kettlebells. You can order them online.

hahaha good! bonus points for sense of humor :)

Once you get up to it, straighten your arms, do it on the floor instead of those kettlebells, straighten your back so that it's arched, and point your toes.

@ilegal95 yep, frogtstand is one of the first things in the planche progression, just google "The Elite Planche Guide", it is great.

from Bboy. o r g

I used it.

Hope I helped! :)

[ilegal95]

does the frog thingy helps me get strong enuf 2 do this?

[Dark515Rogue]

Actually you don't suck: you're able to push your hips really high and your back it's almost straight (and doing tuck planche with straight back it's a lot harder)!

It's not an easy move and I can't do it like that! So..

Keep it up! ;D
