My Tuck Planche

Well here it is. I'm looking forward for some comments.

Your hips are too low, they need to be horizontal/parallel with your shoulders.

+ your elbows are not completly lock! Squeeze your triceps in lock position (that is how you will learn to have cpomplete lock position).

I would go back and work on doing a higher non-advanced tucked planche, you are doing a low advanced for 3-5 seconds which is ok if you can do a perfect 15 second regular tucked planche.....?

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Is this better? I tried locking my elbows. Frustration is getting to me. I have been training this tuck planche for 10 weeks and still this shitty result. Which non- advanced tuck planches do you mean coach?

looks like you are holding your breath. you need to be able to maintain muscle tension and regular breathing.

One of the hardest things to do for sure! I have to constantly remind myself to breathe.

Be patient dude. Planche progress isn't measured in weeks

'non-advanced' tuck planche = tuck planche with arched back, advanced tuck planche = tuck planche with flat back (which is harder).

My tuck planche also used to look like that and I could only hold it for a few seconds. Just be patient and make sure you rest enough. I've always noticed when I took a break for a week after 8 weeks of training my form and time was better.

Also I guess you're doing other exercices, the tuck FL and BL will sure help and handstands and elbow levers also have some carryover and are fun to learn.

Planche takes a long time. It's like getting promoted in a company, you have to do consistent work to get it. Learn persistence and patience with this, and you can take those skills and use them to better the rest of your life as well.

Thanks guys for showing me some better perspective

This is what I do:

Instead of counting the seconds (1,2,3, etc) or looking at a stopwatch while holding my FSP

I'm counting my breaths! In my case 8 breaths under muscular tension is about 15 seconds, 3 breaths = 4-5 seconds and so on.

I know, this isn't the best invention ever. Just thought it might be useful to some of you.

If you do it this way you'll

1) never need a stopwatch (only the first time when you measure the time it takes you to breathe),

2) never forget to breathe,

3) learn to focus on breathing because you'll have to count them and watch that each breath is of the same length.

Enjoy!

One thing that helps me with the tuck planche (rounded back) is getting my hips to the right height by looking at my position in a mirror or on a webcam, and then just lifting my feet up. It looks like you do that more on your second video.

Maybe round the back more and tuck the legs tighter for your tuck planche. Build that up more, and then go to the advanced tuck planche.
