Full routine in the description! Remember, the planche is built off a solid base. This routine is fun but doesn't replace the basics. Let me know what other bodyweight skills videos you want to see!
Story of my life man lol but it’s all about consistency so gotta just stick with it. I’ve been working a lot on foam rolling and flexibility after my routines because I’m finding mobility getting in the way. I had been working on a muscle up forever but the parks around here are closed so I have no bar to try it out. I’ve got a pull-up bar at the house but I can’t try it on there because it’s mounted on top of the doorway and the wall is in the way. So I ended up hanging rings outside so I could finally see if I weighted pullups have been paying off. Tried the muscle up the other day on the rings and failed at the transition. I don’t know if it’s harder to do it on rings or what but it seems nearly impossible. I ended up just working the transition through negatives and the next day my shoulder was absolutely fucked so I just hung up the muscle up for now and will try it again at a later time. Focusing on front & back lever, handstand, planche and pistol squats. Well damn this ended up being a really long winded comment, my apologies. Beat of luck to you. ✌️
@@plnkfloydian7814 DUDE you're literally me right now. I've been pretty damn consistent on working out my flaws, weakness, imbalances, and gaining strength for a year now. I am a great point but I don't have very many "skills" under my belt. I was heading for ring muscleup and my shoulders AND elbows are just saying nope. I feel I'm getting very close to a bar muscleup and my adv tuck frontlever im getting about 7 sets of 10 seconds. I also underestimated how important stretching and mobility is. With very frequent training you will tighten up really quick as I experienced. I'm spending a lot more time with accessory stuff like band work for external shoulder rotation and rotator cuff health. Also using a heat ball to work the tightest spots like where your pecs attach to the shoulder, rear delt etc. I've begun questioning my progress because of videos like this. I respect that everyone's journey is different but I would like to have SOMETHING to show for all my hard work. 2 weeks into handstand work (terrifying and new to me) and I'm over my initial fear and getting up to 10 seconds off the wall free holds, so I guess that's something. Never giving up. It is a life style. Health and injury free is priority!! Cheers bro
@@Mike-hw5jp I’ve had to put the handstand on hold for now I got it down pretty good but sprained my wrist and I haven’t been able to put pressure on it for months now. Pretty bummed
Lol, I'm all over the place, got a 30 sec back lever and near to have the front but I can't properly HS or HSPU even with the wall. Not talking about weighed PU... 😂 I guess I need to get back to some basics :p
Actually the best and most unique planche progression video I’ve seen yet, really excited to do this because I’ve been stuck forever trying to just get my tuck
I have been doing this routine for almost 11 weeks now for my push split workout and have made noticeable changes, thank you. Because of this channel I'm able to progress in calisthenics.
I have to appreciate the great emphasis you place on BUILDING THE BASICS. If you want to stay honest in the fitness world, you have got to preach the BASICS over and over. Those who listen (even though they'll be a small minority) will see the why down the road and they'll be rewarded with gainzzz and, most likely, with an injury-free journey. Keep it up, Tom 💪
Thanks for the clear, concise explanations. Need to work on my basics, for sure. I wish videos like these were around when I was 20, cuz it’s a lot harder to get that muscle memory to stick when you’re pushing 40. 😅 But I’m not giving up!
I can't do a handstand and I'm just starting out with callisthenics but I'll be plugging this here qnd hopefully, I'll comr back in a few months to tell you all about my success journey.
One of the best guides I've seen. Just one comment. W/ your forward lean, if you lean far enough & keep enough weight on your hands, your feet will come off the floor & if you mastered all the other things he mentioned, you would be super close to doing a full planche for 1-2 seconds. Another thing, personally, I find dynamic exercises more fun, so more helpful in the long run, bk I did them more & more consistently. Eg, L-sit to tuck planche, you could also continue to a handstand as well as negatives. Or downward dog to forward leaning plank.
Hi Tom. First of all, I love your video's! High quality material! Secondly, I'd really appreciate a frontlever routine for beginners! I teach calisthenics to beginners, but I don't know how to start frontlever technique, when they can't do a tuck FL
Thanks for these - I'm going to try them even though I don't have a goal of achieving a planche. Ideally I'd like to achieve L-sit, and be able to do the planche push ups up and down.
Damn you, Tom!!! I have an exam tomorrow morning, but the title forced me to take a break as I am working towards my planche and finding it painfully slow. I will be incorporating Downward Dog Press as haven't heard of that one! Question though, do you think there is a lot of carryover from getting a strong military press or straight arm barbell raise? Would they be more beneficial to work on as you advance through these movements?
Tom, i recently found your channel (I was looking for front split), and I like your follow alongs a lot. Is your weeklong follow along intended to build the basics for these more specific trainings?
Nice information to know it’s gonna take years to get the planche down as well as front lever both hard an my wrist and feet already are in pain I need some low parrallettes I have a dip set an the middle length parrallettes maybe I should use those instead of the mat
Thanks for this excellent video. Tom, is there a correlation between pushing strength (I assumeit's mostly front delts and serratus) and planche? How much can you OH press right now and how much do you think you'd need to in order to achieve the full hold?
Yes pls sir, thx for the help. front lever vid would be appreciated:P Also, I can do straddle front lever for approx 5sec but I'm not seeing much progress now what would be a good way to progress to full front lever? as always thx for the content:)
just sort of starting a calisthenics journey. have a goal of a really clean pistol squat and one arm push-up this month. gonna try for L-sit to tuck planche next month. really nice content! would love to see the front lever routine. not that I'm anywhere near one haha (edit: I see you got it up, cheers!)
am i the only one who loves the rings tom wears in his videos? i mean i cant see him wearing any right now but in almost all his videos he wears a ring or 2. tom when will we get similar rings as merch or are there any plans to consider?
Why do most people do planches with their fingers facing forward? I struggle with wrist issues if I don't treat them as well as possible and I find turning my hands backwards to be a good solution (or better yet use parallettes).
Hello, I am 178 CMS and 83kgs, I am 38 years old, I am quite good at basics push ups, pull ups, dips, planche Push ups but it is very difficult to progress for the planche... What is wrong with me, weight, age,... Thanks anyway
HI, first of all: thaks for the Video. But i still do have a question for the descrption of the sets and it would be nice if somone could help me out: what do the numbers in the parenthesis mean? for example "Pike Pull Through - 5x3-5r (2-0-1-3)" i believe it mens five sets with 3 to 5 reps each but what does "2-0-1-3" mean? And as i am writing this a second question comes into my mind: should i do the sets for each exercise all in a row before moving to the next exercise or should i alternate and do one set of each before starting all over thanks in advance!
Hey Tom, will these movements build a good foundation for the posterior chain. Seems to me the bottom half of the body may need some focus. Any thoughts? Great video by the way. Starting this week 😊
This is important if someone can answer me in less than 24 hours. Do I want my shoulder blades far away from ears the entire time or just for specific planche movements ?
Tom, do you recommend combining similar movements (eg. horizontal + vertical push) or opposing groups (eg. push+pull) for strength? Speaking in terms of super sets.
Hello Everyone! I got a question, I train my dips and pull ups with rings. Should I still reach those basis on rings that Tom mentions? Cause I can do around 8-10 ring dips and around 8 ring pull ups
Dood i just started trianing front lever a couple weeks ago with seven months of basic strength trianing before that. I would greatly appreciate if you could make a beginners front lever workout routine

Please make an L-sit video, that’d be greatly appreciated! :D
Please make a Front Lever version for this!
+1 for beginner FL video 🤙🏻☺️
Yep L-sit still kicks my butt, even after several years of practice. Rings/paralletes/floor - it never gets easy
Could you do an advanced tuck video?
Thought I was getting somewhere with calisthenics but apparently still at basic. Love to see a FL version of this vid.

A beginner Front Lever routine would be great. Please make one 🙏
Definitely would like a front lever version! Stuck at 3x9 advance tucks for months 😭
Exactly what I needed, an actual planche training routine

Videos have been such high-quality content in recent months, thanks Tom!
I 100% want it (Front Lever basics) Thanks :D
A front lever routine would be great!
192 cm..... Much respect man i really appreciate your effort
Nice video!👌🏼 We would like to see the front lever version as well🤩

A beginner front lever tutorial would be so helpful
I just wanna see Tom making more planche videos cause that’s an immortal technique he has achieved with the odds stacked against him let’s go Tom
Love the no-nonsense quality content 👌. Thank you
Yes please, about the front lever routine video. You are one of the few people who are very clear on the steps to do :D
this is probably the best routine ive seen for the planche so far
Thanks from Canada! Your videos have been keeping me motivated through lockdown.
Hi Tom. First of all, I love your video's! High quality material!
Secondly, I'd really appreciate a frontlever routine for beginners! I teach calisthenics to beginners, but I don't know how to start frontlever technique, when they can't do a tuck FL
1st knuckle pushup 10-12r
Serratus rock 2 x 10-12r
Pike pull through 3 x 3-5r
Planche push up 4 x 6-8r
Downward dog press 3 x 10-15r
A great videos for learning planche, and practicing, I think I'll give it a try. A similar video for front lever would be awesome. Keep up great work.
This is great! Can you consider making a follow along with this routine?
I would love a front lever routine please!
I just started my planche journey and this...video came... what a timing,..😄
Morning Tom. Maybe core exercises next. Thank you for the vid. ✌🏾😊🤙🏾💚
We love you at the r/bwf.(and the discord server)
keep doing what you're doing. and good luck with your planche.
The front lever beginner routine to combine with this would be awesome!
Pike pull through has entered my repertoire
tom, this is a bloody solid one.
thanks very much, yet again. ;)
kudos from Portugal
Great vid! Definitely would appreciate a front lever beginner/improver video too!
Really a good rotine man I will definitely try it
Dat FL routine, would be real great Tom, pls
It would be nice to have a one arm push app beginner routine and another one for the muscleup
Thanks for these - I'm going to try them even though I don't have a goal of achieving a planche. Ideally I'd like to achieve L-sit, and be able to do the planche push ups up and down.
FL video would be amazing too!! Thanks for the great content
Thanks for the breakdown and progression. I've been working on C instead of more A.
Beginner FL routine - yes please!
Nice, solid, to the point explanation
Just subscribed notifications bell on!!! Great vid
How to embed this routine into the normal workout? Maybe before the main workout or what? Thank you for the great content!
You're incredible at creating something like this. Thanks!
This is the best video I’ve seen so far with such great exercises. What the hell! Subbed and bells on. Cheers mate
Tanks ! i'm going to implement those exercises into my routine
Hey Tom, two years later... have you gotten your planche yet? Thanks for your videos and showing us where you're at in your own journey with this.
More follow along strength videos please! For lockdown 3.0 lol.
Haven't watched yet, just wanna say the thumbnail is quite eye catching and nice to look at.
Wow Thats great tom!
Please make tutorial for front lever!

Yes and no. Specificity matters but it’s an option is it let’s you overload or squire more volume in a certain range
Thanks Tom,just what I was looking for,great tutorial
Thanks Tom love the first exercise gonna try it out. Would like a FL routine
Can you please make a video on using rings
Thanks for the basics bro 😎
Awesome routine! I’d very much like an updated ring exercise routine, maybe even a ring follow along :-)
@ 8:07, what's the function of the yoga block? Perhaps a cue to retract the scapula?
Yes front lever routine please
it's on the list...

Hey Tom, great video!
It would be cool if you can do an advanced routine, for people at your level more or less :)
Thanks, good tips! I haven’t benn making progress for a while. Like the pull through. Parallelettes for me (Dupuytrens disease)
just sort of starting a calisthenics journey. have a goal of a really clean pistol squat and one arm push-up this month. gonna try for L-sit to tuck planche next month. really nice content! would love to see the front lever routine. not that I'm anywhere near one haha (edit: I see you got it up, cheers!)

I think you should do reps with same exercise for a few sets and not alternating but I also dont understand what the bracket number mean
@@gigaman5383 alright thank you so far
Video on ulnar nerve compression please
I want to learn it and do it where i travel❤
Thankyou bro🙏♥️🇮🇳
Looks to me like you retract the scapula bit in pppu
Needed this one
Hey Tom, will these movements build a good foundation for the posterior chain. Seems to me the bottom half of the body may need some focus. Any thoughts? Great video by the way. Starting this week 😊
Thank you
How did you get that wrist flexibility? Every time i do planch exercises I have to rotate my hand and still feel hurt
I feel stupid asking but can someone explain the numbers of 2013, 3011 and so on? I get 4x6-8 is 4 rounds 6-8 reps but not the rest.
This is important if someone can answer me in less than 24 hours.
Do I want my shoulder blades far away from ears the entire time or just for specific planche movements ?
Can you do one for bar muscle up?
FL routine please
will having overextended elbows harm my planche perfomance?
help.... I can do a 40sec front lever, 8 oap, and Victorian cross. but can barley tuck planche. like wtf is this bs
Tom, do you recommend combining similar movements (eg. horizontal + vertical push) or opposing groups (eg. push+pull) for strength? Speaking in terms of super sets.
antagonistic sets 95% of the time
Amazing
What are those numbers in brackets
Could you do the pike pull through with rings? Lowered near the ground to start and over time raise them higher?
FL routine would be nice
Hello Everyone! I got a question, I train my dips and pull ups with rings. Should I still reach those basis on rings that Tom mentions? Cause I can do around 8-10 ring dips and around 8 ring pull ups
