Holding the flag in the GB program is a product of oblique training besides plenty of lever training.

If you want to get good at the planche, my reccomendation is to work it more than just 2d/week.

Why bother with regular pushups when you are doing tricep pushups. A different change of pace? In gymnastics, we tend to prefer only the elbows in-triceps focused pushups as our default.

[Danny Wraxton]

ok then il do planche training 4 times a week .. Why do gymnasts only do tricep press ups .. Thanx neway .. I jus fort more people would like to help ..

[Blairbob]

Because so much of apparatus work is dependent on tricep strength and because it's harder. In a normal pushup, more of the load is spread out across the chest and shoulders when you flare out the elbows.
