seiyafan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Say when my body is fresh and fully warmed up, I can hold a max of 20 sec L-sit and 8 seconds tucked planche with assist band, how do I determine how long to hold for each set and the number of sets I should do. What I used to do was to hold it to failure in every set for 5-6 sets, but I guess it might not be good for the body in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Myers Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 cut the time in half and get at least 60 seconds of work. So for the l-sit, do at least 6 sets of 10 second holds. For the planche, I'd go back to an advanced frog stand, 15 sets of 4 seconds seems silly, but its up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiyafan Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 so 50% of the max hold time each set for 5-6 sets. Cool!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Stoyas Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 so 50% of the max hold time each set for 5-6 sets. Cool!!!!Not always. I know that slizzardman doesn't like anyone really doing more than 3-4 sets of FSPs especially if you're only holding it for 6 seconds. I don't really want to give advice as I might be quoting it wrong, but there are a few topics floating around on this very subject right now.

If you were doing 20 second holds, you'd do 3 of them. Like vincearoo said, if you have a short hold time (under 10 seconds) either go down a progression or limit the number of sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
