Workout- Strength skills work: The Planche

For 20:00, work the skills that preclude the planche. These would include Handstand holds to slow-lowering (whether against the wall or free-standing), the appropriate Planche Progressions , Pseudo-Planche pushups (pushups with your hands down near or at the level of your hips, hands facing to the side or towards the back) and the handstand press .

Try to use your time wisely to give the most total skill work for the session. Post skills used and time/reps for each to comments. Compare to 8/8/06

I already did a similar workout on monday, and I did the coach sommer's planche progressions earlier today. I will do yesterday's workout, which I missed.

My planche progressions are improving. I can now hold the advanced tuck for 20 seconds.

warm them up thoroughly before starting by rotating them in each direction and stretching them lightly. You can also work on knee-push-ups on bent wrists (a common gymnastics exercise) but be careful as it's easy to injure yourself!

Are there any other ways to strengthen your wrists. 'Cause I got the same problems.

I worked a lot on the tucked planche the most i got it for was about 15 seconds but that was only once, i really think i need to strengthen my wrists as well becaquse they are feeling sore. I actually can down to a planche from a hanstand once sucessfully and held it.

been so loong since I did planche progressions. Also, I didn't read to do them properly, just worked on frog and tuck planche. Tuck - not worth measuring. Frog - 52 seconds, which I'll assume is a pr.
handstand against a wall after 20 minutes of practice - 53 seconds
free handstand - not happening today, about 5 seconds.

Usual morning shtick!

My best for tuck planche was 16 seconds! For planches it really saves my wrists if I just do it on my fingertips. And for L-Sits it gives me that extra bit of height for any slight wobbling I might do :]

Basically only did some work with the frog. i got into the tuck for a bit, but oculd only hold it at about ten second intervals.

Did some handstand work, but my arms were pretty sore from rock climbing so I did some squats as well.
