mikeg Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hi folks,Admittedly a random first post, but I have been training gymnastics for some time now.As I have recently been working on planches, I noticed something when watching a music video on television the other day. It starts at 3:30. Is it just me or does this not look right? Aren't his hands not far enough back towards his hips/feet to balance him? It also doesn't look like he is straining at all. I know he would be very strong, but I don't know if he would be strong enough for the tension not to show like that. It also doesn't look as though his foot is dragging/resting on the "glass" box.I know this is a little strange of a topic, but I thought it might be an interesting discussion!Cheers,Mike.

mikeg Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Doesn't look like there's any pressure of either feet pushing on the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Douglas Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 ? It's just a lower into elbow lever, toe dragging on glass to slow it down. Nothing like a planche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
