I've had really slow progress with the planche, and was thinking of starting heavy deadlifts to progress? Just wondering what some people on this forum think.
Also, is a handstand without a wall necessary before a planche? I have a 5 minute wall handstand (first set), but can't hold a freestanding one.
A free handstand off the wall isn't necessary to train the planche but it would help in being able to balance in whatever position. Not exactly super crucial, but your HS would probably come pretty quick if you can do a wall HS that long ( with good form ).
Heavy DL to get the gH/neurohormonal increase?
