I had already watched this exercise practiced by gymnasts in TV shows and it caught my mind from the very first moment. In the fully tucked position you start realising from the very first secondd how tough it gets and how complicated keeping your back up really feels. Now knowing that I can count on chairs to practice it at my own discretion at home or anywhere else I couldn't get any happier to have a new tool to implement in my routine on a more regular basis.
Man, the high quality and concise instruction you offer is really top-notch, Adam. Well done Sir. I'll be referencing this video for years once I reach this point (starting at one month past turning 39) in a few years.
I like this progression because you can vary the range of motion from vertical to almost horizontal and anywhere in between, like how I learned the dragon flag, the lower you go the tougher it gets. At my age (72) I’d definitely would go with this approach. Thanks
Hey i made it! i am the guy that got interested in gymnastics at 17, I got accepted by not only one but two sportive accotiation, one of which is even ok with me trying to compete in low level gymnastics! i just have to try both and choose, starting next year. I wanted to thank you, since without you calistenics guide I would have never been able to do it
@@GymnasticsMethod lol still trying to go, rotator cuff had me out and down hard. Thanks to you bro I got my spark back. I would like to keep you informed on my progress if that's ok.
This was a great video bro! Thanku 4 this. I'm not ready 4 this exercise yet but now I have a resource that is available 2 me when I am 😁😁😁 Aotearoa NZ got ❤️ 4 gymnastics method💯
Can you please make a video about maltese on the ground. I know it is very advanced skill but maybe we can perform some simple exercise in 3 years we can do maltese
Hey man, thanks for the nice info. Really appreciate it and will put this into my Planche Training for sure! What do you think in terms of Sets & Reps and how often should I train it throughout the week? Thanks mate!! 🙏🏻💪🏻
@@GymnasticsMethodQuestion. I've been doing planche pumps with the resistance band and after some time doing it my forearms are in pain mostly the middle section of the forearm. Do I need to rest for a while and not workout at all or can I do stretches for my forearms and wrist so the healing process goes faster
I had done this exercise before because I deduced that this is one of the many progressions that gymnasts use for the planche. However I stopped doing it because each time I did it I felt a very uncomfortable sensation in my right shoulder. I didn't know if I was doing it wrong (I was protracting and depressing the scapula, as well as making sure that the strength came from both the arms and the rest of the upper body). I guess I'll have to double check before doing it again. PD: I always did prehab before this.
@@GymnasticsMethod Yeah, might be. It was happening even with the easiest progression, but it seems that the problem were the chairs that I was using rather than a wrong execution. Will try again sometime soon. Thanks for the reply and awesome work. 💪
To understand the strength required to press to handstand or Planche. Could you perform a test.? Laying down on the floor in front of a cable machine with your feet facing the machine and a straight bar connected at or slightly above feet level. How much weight are you able to lift with straight arms to a 90 degree angle 📐 Or doing the same with a barbell in each hand. Also what is your body weight and height for reference?
i love this, and generally, do them when my forearms are hurting from regular planche progressions. I can do a full box maltese with the open end of the boxes 2-3 foot lengths in distance. but i still have trouble with straddle planche. curious what the weak link could be.
Bent arm handstand ✅ Elbow planch ✅10 sec L ✅ Tuck planch ✅10 sec Frog stand ✅ 2 minutes Now I'm going to do, exactly as you explained, nothing other else. Thanks 🎉❤
Great video but what I can do if I have nerve compression from big muscle tension. This compression creates pain or swelling in the elbow. Chest and protraction training is problematic in this case. I should only do retraction and back training to improve body shape and minimalise compression but i want to work on my chest, shoulders, learn planche etc too.
@@GymnasticsMethod I know but I wanna know if you as proffesional gymnasts have some tips/drills/methods to do all of these static strength skills while remaining healthy without nerve compression problems. I know that strengthening scapula and back is crucial but maybe there is something more ?
Also if I signed up for your program, my hand always hurts me, not my wrist, anything to do with my hands flat on the ground, I can always just use parallettes right
@@GymnasticsMethod not palms top center somewhere. So I do all my push ups on push up bars, but dips and ring work is fine. So all the handstand work you got, I’m sure instead of putting my hands flat on the ground, I can use push up bars or what ever right?
@@GymnasticsMethod yeah, i wouldn't say it works the lats the same way i'd say it works the anterior deltoids. I guess you could say it involves the lats, but they are major shoulder extensors.
@@tredayy312 you are right, back lever is done with a pronation grip. would the scapular position then be more useful for planch progression if we do a back lever with supinated grip?
@Gymnastics Method When it comes to static progressions like the planche, the Maltese, front lever... I see a lot of praise and marketing around dream machines. What is your opinion on these ? Are they useful and can they really boost the progression ? Or do you end up just being dependent of weight suspension and resistance bands can do the job just fine ?
Dream machine is good to build neuromuscular connection and connective tissues, so yes it’s really helpful, BUT strengthwise you’ll hit plateau pretty quickly. 😕

Simply doing. Use all Prinzips you learnd from Training. More is not needed
Consistency is key
i do this 4 times a week on every training day. Feels amazing for progression when training this.

To understand the strength required to press to handstand or Planche.

Laying down on the floor in front of a cable machine with your feet facing the machine and a straight bar connected at or slightly above feet level.
How much weight are you able to lift with straight arms to a 90 degree angle 📐
Or doing the same with a barbell in each hand.
Also what is your body weight and height for reference?
180 cm 75kg
@@GymnasticsMethod is it easier to learn the human flag ?
What is that piece of equipment called @ 2:14 ?
The Planche and the Iron Cross are the only isometric positions I really want to achieve but cannot yet.
Gotcha! There is a way!
Do you have any suggestions to build strength for azarian rolls? Wanna get my Azarian and Nakayama in a few years
Dream machine 👉 band 👉 assisted, this is a good progression
@@GymnasticsMethod Interesting. And cross trainers? I have access to them.

Work on planche progressions too!
What fails when you do your straddle planche? How long can you hold an open tuck planche?
Bent arm handstand ✅
Elbow planch ✅10 sec
L ✅
Tuck planch ✅10 sec
Frog stand ✅ 2 minutes
Now I'm going to do, exactly as you explained, nothing other else.
Thanks 🎉❤
This is really helpful! Do you have any recommendations for cross?
Should I make a video about that once?
Nicee tthanksss
Is there something similar for front lever?
Front lever raises and dragon flags
Bonjour.
Pour une personne comme vous qui possedez déjà une full planche, cet exercice vous semble t-il très facile ?

yess
If i can do this exercise i can do planche or no😢?
Also if I signed up for your program, my hand always hurts me, not my wrist, anything to do with my hands flat on the ground, I can always just use parallettes right
I’m not sure that I understand the problem. So not you wrists but your hands (palms?) hurt, or what?
@@GymnasticsMethod not palms top center somewhere. So I do all my push ups on push up bars, but dips and ring work is fine. So all the handstand work you got, I’m sure instead of putting my hands flat on the ground, I can use push up bars or what ever right?

great

It’s not the shoulder flexion, it’s the poweful depression

Scapula 4 BL is different 2 planche.

How many time a week should we work on full planche and how many skill can we work at the time
It depends, check out my video “Should you workout everyday?”, but basically 2-3 times a week/skill is a good amount
@@GymnasticsMethod thanks a lot much appreciated 💯
2-3 times skills? what about the other days? how many rest days? and what should I do beside skills? @@GymnasticsMethod
