Hello all, I´m 24 years old and have done a lot of strength training throughout my life, I´ve developed quite a good level of strength, hypertrophy and conditioning (most tham almost anybody I know) but I´ve come to the point where I´m feeling "kinda old". I dunno maybe I´ve forced my body too much. Anyway now I want to "settle down" a little bit and I want to stop trying to get stronger at everything and just specialize in the kind of strength/training I like the most, and alongside that get a good cardio conditioning, not anything great, just a little bit of walking, running and sprinting.
Back to the point, I want to specialize, and for me that means overhead lifting, pick up a weight on the floor and raise above the head. I like to do these both with barbells and stones (careful with those, REALLY, until now I´ve only raised above my head a stone that is light in relation to my shoulder strength level), I really like doing those and I´m quite strong at them naturally so they give me joy, also I Iike the kind of strength and hypertrophy they build, well, at least supposedly, because, to tell the truth, I haven´t trained this movement too much(almost nothing). This is not bad actually, because its something fresh to work on.
So I decided I want to develop this kind of strength into my thirties the most I can them retire, of course I´m doing some other exercises as well, to even things out a little bit.
What do all of that have to do with gymnastics? Well, to do the kind of movement I described the most important muscles that I noticed are biceps, forearms and shoulders, for the barbell, and hand, forearms, biceps, pectoralis and shoulders, for the stones. So when planning to strengthen these muscles I decided to maybe doing planche work since planche strengthen biceps, shoulders and pecs a lot. I´m still undecided though because I´m afraid of something, since I´m a little bit heavy(and slight overweight), I´m afraid to hurt my elbows or get hyperextension(is that possible?).
I would greatly appreciate if someone with experience with planche training would give me some insight on this, is it dangerous, even slighty, to do planche work when a person is a little heavy? I don´t want to rush on anything, in fact I was planning on getting it in five years of consistent work. I think its important to say that any planche work I do would have to be on a dip bar or paralettes because both of my wrists get a lot of pain whenever I do push up/kind of work.
My body data: 180 cm(5.9 ft); 94 kg(207.23 lbs)[i have both muscles and fat]
