It sounds like you want to focus on pushing skills so I would say pick either planche or HSPU to be your #1 priority. I personally focused entirely on mastering the handstand and HSPU before taking planche training seriously. The carry over from bent arm movements doesn’t transfer very well to planche. It’ll definitely give you the proper conditioning but the straight arm demands for planche requires a lot of dedication to that skill alone. It ultimately comes down to which skill you want to learn first! Wish you the best brother💪🏽

@@teotlkev Thanks bro for the advice, Take care! 🫶

Thank you bro, I’m far from mastering it but it’s nice to see some progress🙌🏽

@teotlkev keep at it and you'll start doing things you didn't think you could!

Hopefully one day you’ll have some peace and quiet to train brother🙏🏽

Some latinos tan in the sun with or without sunblock. I usually wear pants so the tan is pretty bad lol. I appreciate the concern tho👍🏽

You sound pretty jealous to me. Does it suck turning into a lobster unless you slather yourself repeatedly in sunblock 😂

You look like you could use a day or 2 in the sun😂

Lmao winter will be my chance to get an even color on my body. The tan goes away surprisingly quick when the fog rolls in for weeks at a time🥶

He trains in the sun obliviously ahahah

Too much time shirtless in the sun and not enough shorts😭

Highly recommend it! Make sure you have a solid handstand before attempting though, and I prefer the straddle so the band doesn’t move around much. Stay on that grind brother🔥

@@teotlkev You too brother! Keep up the good work! Weighted HSPU soon; let’s get it!

Training for specificity is key! Using a band really helped me out a lot

2-3x a week for HSPU is definitely a sweet spot. The way you have it structured can work, just make sure the time in between is allowing you to recover. Training pulling movements on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday will also be a good idea to avoid any muscle imbalances. Once you feel like strength is no longer an issue, I would start adding more attempts at the beginning of the session before moving on weighted dips, BTW HSPU, or push ups. Stay consistent bro! Wishing you the best on your journey💪🏽🔥

@@teotlkev thanks for the advice big bro, i will definitely add pulling movments in my splits. Thankyou u r such a helpful calisthenics athletes.. Keep inspireing us🙏❤️

@@djnj2218 it gave me the strength to do a tuck/advance tuck planche, but the straddle planche was a whole different story. I did a lot of holds and presses with the band and now I’m finally seeing some progress with the straddle😁

@@teotlkev bro im in a level of HSPU after i master it what eles skill should i look up to?? Tigerbend HSPU or 90°HSPU?

Thank you bro, stay on track with your training and you’ll definitely unlock it! Patience is key🙏🏽

I built a solid foundation with HSPU and 90* holds before starting my planche journey on January 1st, 2024! I’ve spent almost 2 years as a dedicated calisthenics athlete, and a year prior just spamming random body weight exercises lol

I was so hyped about that hold that I forgot to include a before video, I’ll definitely add it in for the full planche😁

I currently teach yoga as a job and I am looking for a space to coach calisthenics! I treat my TH-cam videos as a way to coach and share information, but I do plan on opening up an online coaching service in the future💪🏽

👍 hope it happens

@@Jack-iy2hk I got blessed with the genetics for legs no gonna lie, I mainly train them through yoga and running💪🏽

More than just his legs 😳

Around 5’4 at 145lb

I appreciate it bro! The HSPU is still my favorite skill to train, but the planche may take the #1 spot soon🙏🏽

Yup that’s the realization I have come to as well, good form will come as I get stronger in the skills. That’s a big reason why I started incorporating more partial reps into my routine, pushing through the fatigue to get more volume has been working great! Partials, bonus eccentric reps, and of course pushing to failure at the end of sets like you mentioned work wonders. Wish I would’ve done this sooner lol, I appreciate the comment brother🙏🏽

@@teotlkev Yes bro. I know you have the knowlege to do what is nessesary because you show it in your videos. I really look up to you

@@axtro8001 thank you man, that means a lot! We’ll both continue to succeed in calisthenics together brother💪🏽🔥

@@teotlkev ofc!

Appreciate you man✊🏽

Very good advice💯

My hold time will vary depending on what band I use but for this video day 1 was 5s (mainly working on entry), day 2 and 3 was about 7s, and the presses averaged 3.5 reps💪🏽

@@teotlkev Do you ever increase the reps up to hypertrophy? Or only low reps/hold time? Because many people claim that only low reps won't work because of fatigue due to the high intensity

@@personlichkeitsentwicklung5375 I agree that training low reps isn’t optimal. I currently train in the hypertrophy range for both hold times and presses when I use a heavier band (red). The lighter bands definitely take more out of me but I’m gradually building week by week to get into the hypertrophy range for the moderate and light band, specifically with the straddle planche in all holds and presses. So to summarize, I train in the strength range (low reps/hold) but through progressive overload I build up to the hypertrophy range, then repeat the cycle until I reach the lightest band.

@@teotlkev Alright that makes a lot of sense if you can handle the fatigue. I'm a little bit older, i train in blocks. :) Hypertrophy then Strenght. I think many ways can lead to success. Keep Grindin. Thanks for your replies.

@@personlichkeitsentwicklung5375 huge respect to you man! Adapting our training to meet our body where it’s at is always a good habit, keep up the good work brother👍🏽

I used to feel very fatigued from the planche training when I initially started earlier this year, but my body has adapted to the work load pretty well now. MWF is straight arm focus with planche and front lever (horizontal movements), whereas T/TH/SAT is HSPU and basic pulling (vertical movements). I think training both pulling and pushing movements for strength 3x a week is great! It gives you enough recovery in between to get very good workouts in. The main reason I train 6x a week is bc I found it helps me retain my skills better. Keep it up man💯

Thanks for that! 🦾💪

I had a phase where I would do only gym back in 2019 but I’ve been bodyweight only since 2020! Calisthenics is just more enjoyable for me, I truly look forward to every session💪🏽

Mad love for the support bro! This planche journey has been humbling me but I know I’ll get it with some consistency🙏🏽💯

Thank you my friend, on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday I train HSPU and basic pulling movements. I also train front lever MWF, with Sunday being a try rest day and Saturday sometimes being a short session💪🏽

The reps can be done in whichever way you’d like. If you are just starting out then I would recommend going for 1 single 5sec eccentric, then building up to doing multiple reps of that in each set. As long as you are increasing the time under tension (longer eccentrics) or increasing the reps over time, then you will see a ton of progress! You can spend workout #1 doing longer eccentrics for maybe a single rep, and then workout #2 of the week can be focused on multiple eccentrics in 1 set.

@WUNNA1TUCKULUS I would start by getting very comfortable in the 90* hold, then implementing 90*HSPU eccentrics, followed up pushing from the 90* hold to a handstand (concentric), and once you understand the motion then I would suggest using the band to perform multiple reps. I’ll be making a guide on this skill in the future!

Amazing job! I’m glad the video was able to help, keep up the grind my friend💪🏽

Mad respect for getting into calisthenics at a young age, keep it up and you’re gonna be a beast! That’s a very good video idea, I’ll definitely make it one very soon. I’m aiming for new videos every 1-2 weeks💪🏽

That’s what I like to hear! The recovery you’re getting from the deload will boost you in your skill training💪🏽

Spending some more in either a butchers block stretch or in a downward facing dog before handstands can really help. Anything that mimics the overhead position is good so it comes down to preference 👍🏽

Thank you bro! Gotta get creative for those deficit reps🙏🏽

For sure! I love seeing new ideas to try! I wish we had an outside gym here lol

I average 145-150lbs

Right on man, I appreciate it! The muscle up is all you💪🏽

Yup I’m from the Bay Area, they got these parks all over the country💪🏽

I haven’t been running as much as I used to, but during my marathon training I would squeeze in ring workouts 3-4x a week whenever I could find the time and energy. It’s definitely a tough thing to balance but it can be done!

I’m lucky to have one close by🔥

@@Goku_SAADI’m glad I could help, wishing you the best in your training brother✊🏽
