Bent arm planche for HBP

[Matias Perez Aguirre]

Hey guys,

Its been a while since i posted in the forum, been making a lot of progress lately. When working on the hollow back press i am unable to hold a bent arm planche with my hands on parallets and a neutral grip, i can hold it with a supinated grip quiet well and on the floor decently. However even a half lay on parallets in nuetral grip is hard. Any ideas on why I am unable to hold it on parallets? I want to be able to practice my hbp on parallets but i can hold the bottom

 My straddle hbp needs work ik... been working on it for a week and my half lay hbp was brutal

Whine supine grip there is more involvement of the chest, this means that your shoulders are not enough strong to hold the bent arm planche with a neutral grip (Where chest it is less activated).
