The planche is one of the most desired skills in bodyweight training, and in this video I’m going to show you a typical gymnast exercise, that will definitely help you to achieve it!
This really underrated exercise is not else than the shoulder supported maltese.
Okay, I know, that it’s in the name, it’s for the maltese right, but actually it has a huge transfer effect for the planche.
So we can say that it’s a 2 in 1, since it will help a lot to learn the planche, while you’re working on the maltese at the same time.
The shoulder supported maltese is a special strengthening exercise for the maltese that gymnasts do mostly on the rings and sometimes on the floor.
It works the serratus muscles a lot, besides the chest, shoulders, biceps, lats and core. It’s not a coincidence that gymnasts look brutal while doing the maltese.
The shoulder supported maltese makes this exercise easier to learn, but since it has many common points with the planche, it has a significant transfer effect.
For me personally, it helped a lot to transition from the straddle planche to the full planche.
You can be sure that it helps to overcome plateus with the other progressions as well, such as from the advanced tuck planche to the straddle and so on.
But why am I recommending this maltese exercise to achieve the planche?
Let's find out!
