Jeff Walker Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 When I do the Tuck and AT Planche, I feel like my butt needs to get higher. Are there any drills that can help build this strength? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Ward Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 You feel like it, or you know it needs to be? There's a big difference.Hips should be level with your shoulders. If you can't do this. The progression you're working is most likely too hard.The easiest way to get into a tuck planche with correct form is squat down on to your toes, put your hands on the ground, and lean forward on to your hands.If you can't do that with proper form, then go back to planche leans and you could also do a light band assisted tuck planche.

ForzaCavaliere Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure that training straight arm press to handstands would help big time. If you can't do them, I might work on them first. ^ Educated guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Wadle Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Are you doing them on the ground or on parallettes? For me, training on parallettes is easier and then once i have the feel and strength i transition to the floor and work them there. If you can't do them on parallettes you might try tuck planch push ups and pseudo planche pushups to build strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Li Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If you can't do them on parallettes you might try tuck planch push ups and pseudo planche pushups to build strength.If he can't even hold a tuck planche then he won't be able to do tuck planche push-ups either. I would suggest to work more on planche leans or stick with the low tuck planche holds to build more strength until he can raise them to horizontal.

Jono Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If your hips aren't high enough, that's usually due to not leaning into your tuck planche. If you try to balance/lift, your hips will want to drop, making you think something is wrong. But really you need to lean more forward, which requires a surprisingly greater amount of strength.

ForzaCavaliere Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 ^Which reminds me, my initial post regarding straight arm press to handstand was quite misleading, maybe. I read that the planche is supposed to be a lean, not so much as lifting the hips but leaning the torso over the hands.
