Just a quick question regarding the wisdom behind it all.
Is the idea of sPL/SE1 im the same LARS in Rings ? That is the idea is to have a way to train the big muscles involved in the planche position combined with extending the legs without having yet built the requisite straight arm strength so that later on you have already this base of strength, similar to what LARS elements do for ring straight arm elements ?
Yeah, some of it is building the chest and anterior deltoids, which play a large part in the planche. Another benefit of the baSPL sequence is to train the lower back and glutes to hold the proper body and leg position while the upper body is under tension.
It also helps with learning the bottom of the HBP.
