Christian Sørlie Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKeSQ50UJqw&feature=g-high-rec From 3:20 OK, so with a couple of buyer beware. And having atrophied legs due to being in a wheelchair. Still the first time on video. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 - That is a PB attempt at a victorian; not a reverse planche. - A reverse planche begins from a HS and then lowers the back toward the ground with an extended tight body by opening the shoulder girdle.

alec_ar Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Awe I was really excited when I saw the title! Congrats to the dude, he's strong and has some hardships so I salute him, but I can just about lean that far into an 'inverted planche' as him...

Joshua Naterman Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 We saw Dillon press about that far back from a seated position on the floor, definitely not a "reverse planche" but still very strong! 3:00 to 3:20 is probably the best/most impressive one arm front lever stuff I've seen. I'm not quite sure how that is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec_ar Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 To his credit though, I can say first hand that even that degree of 'inverted planche' is quite difficult (despite the bent elbows). When I train it I just call it a really HMSH with no split Think of the inverted planche as this, it should be called an inverted BL! A true inverted planche as people call it, would look exactly like a mirrored version of a BL (with hands on the ground of course), not necessarily an inverted version of the planche, which is pretty much a FL. Plus, there's already a reverse PL, or Hollowback, which confuses things more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 That's pretty hardcore man, if you're doing that with straight arms then you aren't all that far off from a Manna. Flexibility would probably be your biggest potential obstacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexX Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I think he has a manna. But if anyone ever does a reverse planche as mirror is describing (Not Hollowback) that would prove a lot of people wrong on here who said it was impossible.

alec_ar Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks Josh! And yes you're spot on about the flexibility. @AlexX, last I checked (a long time ago) I don't have a Manna. I have what is essentially a tuck manna, mainly I think due to my super tight hamstrings and probably lack of lower back strength...it's an element I want to put some more focus on--developing a solid HMSH hold seemed to really carry over to a lot of other skills. And about someone developing a true inverted planche (or BL as I call it) and proving everyone wrong, personally I've been trying for around a half year now and it is tough! Man, it might technically be possible idk, but whether or not it's possible to get ones' hips high enough, doing diligent, thoughtful reverse plank leans into inverted is one of the best upper back and triceps conditioners I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 doing diligent, thoughtful reverse plank leans into inverted is one of the best upper back and triceps conditioners I know Dillon told me that this is what he thought gave him most of his progress in the HMSH, because he had stalled out for a while and didn't really mess with it much for about 6 months BUT he was doing a lot of these. Since he was training everything else, it's not like he lost strength or flexibility anywhere and then Coach asked him to show us a HMSH... Well, he almost lifted into Manna! It seems that these leans have some value. I attributed my success at being able to hold an arms supported victorian position for about 2 seconds to those same leans, and I still think they have value.

Blairbob Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Must refrain from Force slapping people with these silly names of elements. Rather incorrect names. Must... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec_ar Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 @Joshua, cool stuff! Dillion's an impressive guy. Yes doing reverse leans and arm supported Victorians are at least in this humble GSTer's opinion quite valuable. As a supplement. Once you hit hip level in a reverse plank with locked out elbows and feet supported--it hurts like a mother but I always feel 'bigger' afterwards. Must be from the posterior delts and traps getting a good pump.@Blairbob, I assume you're inferring incorrections when referring to the so called 'inverted planche' move.

I am going to give these a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Li Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 3:00 to 3:20 is probably the best/most impressive one arm front lever stuff I've seen. I'm not quite sure how that is working.Keep in mind that he has severely atrophied legs. Not to take anything away from him though as it is still very impressive.

Joshua Naterman Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 He must, because he doesn't need to counterbalance with the arm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
