Amazing Planche Strength

The following is an amazing example of planche strength mastery. Many new and unique variations.

Something that I personally found surprising was that the body line of his two arm handstand is not particularly good (this is not apparent until his HS is viewed from the side).

That is Ivan. One of my favorite hand balancers from Kiev, I believe. His two arm handstand line isn't as good as some of the others I will agree. He is amazingly strong and his routines are a combination of straps and handbalacing which is pretty awesome.

Here is a video of Ivan's routine with straps and hand balancing. It is great because I love how he mixes both arts. It is also interesting however that beside the first figa (one arm handstand with piked legs) he mostly sticks toward flags which require more strength and not as much technique as a one arm handstand. Sort of how balancing a planche is easier than a handstand. Either way, enjoy!
