Coach Sommers Planche Progression

Dear Coach Sommer,

i followed your Planche Progression. I can hold an advanced tuck planche for 15 sec.

my problem is the regenaration, after a progression, 45 minutes with break, i need much more than one day till i am totally regenerated. is that normal??

Thanks, Johannes

PS. I eat healthy but i am not fanatic, so a coke sometimes, is ok.

Recovery is highly individualized. In addition you should also note that your recovery ability is something that will improve over time. What may be totally exhausting today, over time will become simply another workout - if you are patient and allow the body sufficient time to adapt. For a beginner, my general rule of thumb is if you are overly sore or lethargic and in need of an additional day or two of rest, take it.

The only caveat here with this additional rest is to ensure that it is actually needed additional recovery and not simply an excuse for being lazy and missing workouts unnecessarily.

Yours in Fitness,

Coach Sommer
