Hey guys, i was just curious as to wonder if some fsp develop faster than others. Example: FL vs BL or BL vs Planche or FL vs Planche. Will one actually develop faster? Or does it depend on starting strength?

Planche is usually the hardest to obtain.  Depending on the person the Front lever is generally next hardest and the back lever the easiest.  The planche and the FL training should be a bigger focus for someone early in GST.

It really does depend on the level of strength you have before starting. For example, there is talk about rock climbers nailing a full FL on their first attempt. But BL and PL take a lot more conditioning to be able to prepare the body to handle such a low leverage position.

And i also have a question on the BL. Since there is a lot of strain on the bicep, can the tendon grow from this position? And is there just as much stress as the hands back PL?
