@hada7 Because every inch lower is like a new circle of hell. It's like starting a bodyweight OHP from your fucking belly button.

@dawn16 I watched a video titled "7 year planche progression". I expected it to be an older or heavier/taller guy taking a longer time to get a full planche. Nah. It was just a dude that started out at a full planche and it ended with shit like full planche archer push ups and one arm planches...

@serietah Reverse planche is an actual thing. Not comparable to a Mexican handstand.

@jermyn Planche feels significantly easier on my elbows than the cross. Even supinated planche.

@ironicall I'm trying work towards an Azarian, should I not be training it often? Maybe it's a skill I come back to after a few weeks to check its progress? I have two sessions a week where I'm doing crosses.

@daughterofaking Don’t listen to them. Same height and as you but 5lbs lighter. Don’t cut. None of the skills are worth being 125lbs. 150-160 ripped as shit is a great weight at our height. My progress was definitely a bit slower, but it more than paid off in the end. I’ve seen 6’ 180lbs people...

@newsgurl https://nmbl.stanford.edu/publications/pdf/Holzbaur2007a.pdf Huh. I see delts and then triceps. But the point still stands. Only thing that bothers me about this study is the large standard deviations.

@newsgurl Pecs, lats, and traps would like to have a word with you. Edit: https://nmbl.stanford.edu/publications/pdf/Holzbaur2007a.pdf

@onlyjesus316 Bench is a really bad metric for planche. Planche is practically a shoulder isolation exercise. OHP has a much higher correlation than bench. It’s just like how training bench won’t necessarily grow your OHP much, but training your OHP will definitely increase your bench. I have...

@lmr And that's a good point. But that implies that the only difference between competitors is gym training, which isn't the case. So many other factors to take into account. Symmetry, insertion genetics, conditioning, proportions, etc. And my best example as to why I think his program is...

@lmr Elite genetics, 20 years of training, and a shit load of steroids? Yeah. Yeah you can.

@kaririopelle You can get away with training like a moron on roids. Go and do your third Rich Piana 8 hour arm workout of the week. You’ll curl the 35lbs one day, bud.

@life4h1m The dude was 80% steroids by weight. Nothing he did will work for you.

@instrument150 Ive read Overcoming Gravity 1 and 2. From what I've read, and it's been working so far, 3-8 reps is your strength zone. 8-12 reps for hypertrophy and endurance. The higher you go past 12 reps, the more it's about endurance. Those low rep sets at a beginning of a workout are...

@shek A strong back lever is pretty important for planche. I'd say like 20s supinated back lever and pretty comfortable supinated back lever pull outs. A full back lever pull to inverted from german hang without sagging the back or leading the pull with your feet is probably the best...
