even more planche questions from the noob

romulo

i do a lot of those exercises blairbob mentioned. the swiss ball planche is my fave. when i started these progressions, just two weeks ago, the straight arm frogstand seemed impossible. i decided not to do it until march. after working the frogstand and some other presses i was just goofing around and tried the straight arm. i can get 3 solid reps of 10 sec now. i am still doing the regular frogstand for 2 reps at 30 sec. the strength comes, i was totally surprised.

thanks

ah

Gosh, I think your positive comment served well, I just tried and could do it! . The thing that helped most was to try it with pushup bars and it was much easier. The frogstand with bent arms also jumped from 15 to 25 sec.

Yes, it is DEFINITELY possible. Nothing is impossible due to your height, if you think so you are just making excuses. I started training only 4 years ago and am 6'1". Best motivation I can give is to show you my progress.

I haven't been training for planche specifically, but might start to now. I definitely intend on getting a full planche soon!
