Jesse Kim Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I was wondering how symmetrical a FL is to a Planche, if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouclier Victor Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 not that much, the exact opposite move of front lever would be back lever, and for planche it's manna.Hope i'm not completely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keilani Gutierrez Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 one is a compliment to another, as are some other moves in complimentary planes of motion(this would be if the hands are pressing, pulling, behind us, in front of us at horizontal, etc) and execution(straight arm, bent arm, bent body(pike), full lay out(hollow), rotation, static, etc.) so training front levers and planches will yield some results. if you include more variety in your training upto a certain standard, you'll be much better balanced and healthier. like rope climbs, manna, press HS, HS, HBP along with the front lever and planche. my 2c.

Alessandro Mainente Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you want to balance front lever do muscle limbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Kim Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 In terms of "appearance", doesn't a Planche resemble an up side down Front lever of sorts? Sorry my question wasn't in terms of strength, but actual, well, uh, "symmetrical appearance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my question wasn't in terms of strength, but actual, well, uh, "symmetrical appearance". Definitely. Even the lean is visually similar, hence those side pictures of pl/fl pairs that look near identical and quite otherworldly at first Limbers / FL is particularly good though, at first I didn't get the Foundation logic of pairing those two but as I have progressed the effect of both together is greater than the sum of the parts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Depends what is your idea of balance, "apperance balance", "strength balance", "anatomy balance"?Apart the first type of balance, the front lever is a pulling work that creates adduction of the arms. the exercises where this movement is balanced by abduction of the arm are-limbers-press to handstand variations.

Jon Douglas Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Personally I find front easier to maintain a nice bridge shape as I descend, but I think Ale has given a pretty comprehensive explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Mainente Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Limbers are a descent into bridge from standing position and return up on your feet. A proper progression is listed on foundations series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
