Any tips would be appreciated. I do not do straddle planche work anymore and I know the form is not ideal. I included in this video to show how long I could hold (sort of). I am currently working on the basics with tuck planche :)

I wouldn't train the planche on rings just yet, you're clearly not ready for that. Your back lever looks pretty good, but you arch slightly, try to pike in your hips a bit to neutralize that. Front lever is slightly piked and you could retract your scapula a bit more.

Wow you're stronger in your planche as compared to FL haha. How long have u been stretching your front split? Getting real close there

Why do you think I am not ready to train on the rings yet? Just curious. I only recently started training tuck planche on rings and I actually find this to be way more fun than training on the parallettes. Thanks for the critique.

Yeah I've been training for planche for a while but I only started training for the FL about month ago.

I don't really actively stretch a lot anymore but it took me about 3 months of intense stretching (5hrs+ per week) to comfortably get to that point

Two reasons:

1. Bad form: look at your scapula positioning and hand position.

2. It is recommended to get a solid straddle planche before you train the planche on rings.

I didn't have a set schedule but I took a day off every 2~3 days of stretching
