Planche Progression! Next level unlocked!

in fitness •  6 years ago 

Hello again! It's been awhile since I posted anything fitness related. Just a few days ago I finally got to the next progression for the plance so decided to share my joy! It's been a pretty slow process and even so I am ahead of schedule. I've set it as my goal to achieve full planche hold in a years time. I started 3 months ago and I think I'll be able to do it a lot sooner than expected. Currently I'm doing the Straddle Planche and holding it for 3-5 sec. Also I try extending my legs more as you see on the first picture which is another hold I do for 2-3 sec. Once I am able to comfortably hold these for more than 10 seconds I'll try and progress to the next step. 


This is the straddle planche. I still need to straighten my body a bit but it is looking good. I started leaning forward more and this is building quite the pressure in my forearms so in time they'll get stronger. 



This is where I first started and my first progression afterwards. Now that I compare it with the current state of the exercise i've gone a lot further. Every small adjustment makes this so much harder so every little bit of progress feels like a huge win. 

I've been doing the same exercises until now and mainly holding the current progression I'm on every day for a total of 30-50 sec. Doing multiple sets and usually training the planche for about 30-40 min every day. I do take breaks once a week.. sometimes I don't. It all depends on how I'm feeling but at least I am getting somewhere with it! It sure feels amazing to see some progress in whatever you do!

Does the shelf with the alcohol drinks help with the progress? :D

Ahahaha.. that's my roommates. :D

Yeah... right :D

But you see how much better I'm doing on the photos where there's no alcohol? :D

Oh, actually yeah. The poses are much more complicated there lol

С целенасочени и постоянни тренировки ще го постигнеш скоро. Стъпка по стъпка и резултата е на лице. Поздравления.

that's awesome! it takes so much strength to do planche, good luck with your progression!

Thanks! I'm doing my best to get there! :)
