I've been working on doing planche pushups for around a year now. I can do handstand pushups, archer pushups, ultrawide, one hand, but doing a single planche still feels legitimately impossible. My muscles cannot comprehend how to do it. I think I need a setup to work on doing front levers as well, otherwise I don't think my muscles are capable of developing enough to allow me to progress to it.
I think also climbing would overwhelmingly train pull strength so stuff like muscle ups and front lever come fairly naturally to him, planche pushing strength would take years to build.
@@avenger3163 I'm right with ya, I got frustrated with how impossible it seemed to do planche pushups and just gave up because I probably was training it too infrequently and too intensely since I would strain my elbows. After getting some progress with the HSPU and a bunch of ring techniques I am starting to think its time to come back to the planche. The planche pushup still seems pretty impossible when i try it now and thats from someone who can do >10 HSPU so its a bit demotivating, but I think its finally time to focus on the thing that has been my calisthenics inspiration from the beginning. My goal is the straddle planche for 5 sec hold coming down from a handstand and at least one clean pushup. Consistency along with technique is whats needed to get this skill. WE GOT THIS BRO! And when the elbow gets sore im gonna be working on that one armed handstand. Cuz well ya might as well shoot for the fucking stars in when it comes to training. If they could do it you probably could too.
Was about to comment that. To be fair, climbing doesn't require a lot of front shoulder strength, which is mainly what is required in the planche as I understand it
@@ExecutionSommaire there is way way way more to the planche than front shoulder strength. I feel it in my lower body much more than upper when I try to hold the position.
Bro, I´ve been in the calisthenics game for years and never heard an explanation of the planche which was this good and detailed yet that simple and easy to understand. Good job man! Awesome stuff, Sondre.
These styles of videos for tutorials are so much better! It's nice seeing a beginner learns the steps over a pro demonstrating it with perfect form and making it look too easy
I love how humbly both of you approach this. We know how hard these things are to get right and its just refreshing seeing videos in the fitness/strength/calisthenics niche of youtube that are less ego and more trial and error. Feels honest and thats nice.
Full planche,no,even straddle planche is almost impossible to achieve without training it for a longer period of time,even if you might have the required strenght,it's not just strength,it's balance,endurance,flexibility,mobility and even experience as well,it's a verry complex exercise that simply cannot be learned overnight
I mean, the hard things to get are raw strength and tendon strength, mainly on shoulders and biceps. If you have that, the rest is not that hard to get
Flexibility for planche? There is basically almost no exercise that needs less flexibility than planche. If you can stand straight and lift your arms then you are flexible enough for the planche. Planche is just pure brutal strength in shoulders and arms and decent strength in lower back and butt.
@@OneDerscoreOnederi agree with you, it doesnt translate. I think it really depends on the person. I weigh 65kg and ive been doing pushups and ab workouts everyday for a year and thats it. I was able to hold the planche within 3 days of trying it. Different people are better at different things. I defo couldnt do what you do.
Didn’t realize I’ve been training for this, even going above and beyond Sondre’s recommendation. I went and got full body and mental depression instead of just Scapular so I’m going to absolutely ace this 💪🏻
I do 'calisthenic' exercises borrowed from gymnastics like Sondre three times a week and sometimes other sports at the same time. As I don't have access to a climbing club and everything is flat where I live, I went straight to the climbing club during my christmas holidays in my childhood town. These two disciplines complement each other perfectly because, after all, it's gravity that dictates the path and essentially the body's mastery of space that comes into play. I think that mixing lots of sports like these two, and why not a combat or endurance sport depending on your free time, is good for the body and the mind. Unless your aim is hyper-specialization, versatility seems to be an asset and I hope that the future will confirm this. Great video, thanks! Sidenote : fingers strength and forearms muscle density (and obviously technic + lack of experience...) seems to be the major downfall when I try boulders. This reminds me how sometimes each sport builds and requires very specific neural adaptations and muscle specific features and stuff in order to progress. Other than that calishenics gives you nice confidence and overall good strength + mobility to try the boulders. And of course climbing in or outdoor is a lot of fun !
Entertaining, informative and exciting, i love how you explain the progressions and not just saying do this and then skip to the full planche like many others
I have tried the static hold somewhat, over time but not much.. This video inspired me for this workout today, I'm 63 years old, trained weights since 19.. Planche Leans On Push-Up Handles 5set x 10,10,6,8,10reps m push-up handles 30,40,50,45,40cm from door. THAT felt good, thx for the inspiration 🙏
19:06 its subtle tips like this, trapping the band inside the hip crease so it can only support the pelvis. Where Magnus had it higher up the torso, it was cutting off his power and into his guts.
this was so incredibly easy to follow. this was a great way of teaching. like everything broken down into the simplest terminology. the only part that seemed even "slightly" complex was the bit about teaching shoulder movement and even then it was done in a way that i knew exactly what you meant with each word so even saying it was "slightly" complicated is an exaggeration. on top of that there's 0% ego and 100% support and that is so important with exercise atleast imo. motivation and support are a strong foundation for bettering yourself and with out them its easy for things to crumble.
Finding a gym that has actual ninja warrior stuff in Norway and close to Oslo was actually very cool to find out which was a good take away from the video
Good effort Magnus! And good teaching Sondre. I know how difficult a tuck planche is to hold for any length of time, so I can't imagine how much more force one has to exert to hold a full planche. For that matter even a deeper planche lean is going to light your shoulders on fire!
Very good video and very good for us who are mucking about with planche to see how far we've actually come. And, a year from straddle to full planche. Yikes 😂 good to have a realistic outlook
A year minimum, could be several years! I could straddle planche for three seconds once upon a time and thought I was much closer to full planche than I actually was.
I also got a little confused when I first started hearing RUclipsrs saying stuff like "shameless plug warning" but I got it with enough context haha (I'm from Mexico and stumbled upon your channel because youtube recommended you) I'm already a fan of Magnus but I liked your stile of teaching, subscribed.
Jeg har lite spenn om dagen, men Parallettes - Movement Made FatBars frister veldig. Aldri vært glad i vekt trening. Calisthenics er muligens det beste for meg på 2meter, ettersom hele kroppen får trening, og core blir styrket, som igjen er bra for ryggen. Jeg er helt i start fasen, og har nylig fått litt mer energi. Tenker å gripe det vinduet mens det er der!
This was really quite interesting for me to watch because when i was really young, perhaps 6 or 7 year old, due to having fragile bones, i broke my legs a lot so i found it difficult to build up enough muscle in my legs to walk and instead got around for the most part crouched on a skateboard and i would use my arms and hands to scoot around. Also just for fun and practicality, though i couldn't walk on my legs, i could do a handstand and walk around on my hands which i did quite a bit. So seeing how hard it is for these guys to do the handstands and planche is very surprising especially for such fit and strong guys. This was 30 years ago now but i don't think i could hold the legs straight out planche for very long but i did do the bent legs tilted towards my head a lot as this was kind of half way towards a full handstand for me. I also used to hang with my arms and swing upside down and around on thick school fence bars with the wire missing and same thing in the playground. My upper body and back strength was so strong back then. Later i used a wheelchair and rolled around mostly balancing on the back wheels even down extremely steep hills. I moved around like that because the front wheels on the wheelchair are small and would get tripped up, risking throwing me out or the wheelchair tipping forward and over, causing broken bones on something as small as a small stone or twig. I got around this by maintaining my balance and rolling around on my back wheels. The only issue with this when going down hill, the only way i can maintain the wheelchair seat in a horizontal position, keeping the front wheels off the ground is to spin the wheels forward faster than they are already spinning as your pushing against the natural turn to hold the wheelchair up. I had a few occasions when going down steep and or very rocky (mountain track) where i just couldn't push the wheels fast enough to keep the front wheels off the ground and they inevitably touched the ground, hit a stone or got caught in a crack in the plavement and threw me out causing very badly broken arms. On the occasion when I lost control going down the mountain track because it was covered in large jaggered stones which made it too difficult to maintain my balance and keep up the building speed. I was so fortunate that i was able to maintain it horizontal and the front wheels long enough for my dad to be able to run and grab hold of my handles and slow to a stop without tripping or tilting the front wheels down as i had been heading for the side of a cliff. I no doubt would have died had he not caught me. It almost brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.
tuck planche is NOT even the same technique as the normal planche meaning it's very unlikely to achieve it through the tuck. Your best bet is to use different sets of bands and try and reduce the support over time
@Magnus: Try the bent arm press to handstand. You have the strength to do it and that way you don't have to "catch the kickup". I do the same because I still cannot catch my kickup reliably 😵😵😵
Since i started 14 months ago, i'm nowable to do 12 handstand pushups, 6 deficit HSPU to the chest, im still sadly very slowly improving on my free handstand, i can only last around 5sec so i can only do a single HSPU now
good stuff! I am just a bit ahead of you in the handbalancing area. The advice that I wish i had taken and that I still have to actively implement is to push your shoulders up (but not too much) and make sure your head not to far off in alignment with the rest of your spine. You can make the handstand more muscley if you do have your head forwards and facing the floor but doing so doesn't focus on the proper handstand muscles that you are trying to build and so your form never improves. Once you get proper technique down straight as a needle and you aren't exhausted, you can freely move between things like the handstand pushup positions and even do my favorite stuff which is handstand dancing where I kick and swing my legs around to the rhythm.
Heads up to anyone prone to hyperextension focus on imagining that bicep and triceps are being triggered at the same time should straighten arm to the right position
full planche takes 3-5 years to learn on average. thats with consistent training. even once you learn the skill it can go away in only weeks of not training it. nice video.
While Sondre is incredibly knowledgeable about the planche and its progressions, I feel that he did not explain to Magnus how to properly lock out his arms, and he did not enforce that "rule" nearly enough. The strength for the planche needs to come from the shoulders through the straight arms, the second you bend the arms it changes the nature of the movement and how the muscles are activating. I am super weak compared to both of these guys, but even while barely being able to hold a tuck planche, I can feel the clear difference it makes if I approach it with the "perfect" form vs if I allow my arms to bend and I don't push through the shoulders (protraction and depression). It seems like Sondre may have been too excited at Magnus' potential due to his strength and athleticism and was skipping through the progressions way too quickly, without giving proper feedback and making sure that Magnus understood how it's supposed to feel when done properly. That means that Magnus could come away from this session thinking he has all the tools necessary to learn the planche in a few months of training when in reality he never quite understood the proper form to do the simpler planche leans. The issue with this is that your training and progress are really hard to track and keep consistent, because there is no absolute measurement of fully locked out arms with the elbows rotated outwards, and you may barely hold a tuck with fully straight arms while being able to do a straddle half lay with bent arms. You can't be sure that your little bend in the arms is the same degree of little for every attempt, and you're also more likely to not develop the very specific strength and body awareness required for harder planche progressions. Great video otherwise.
Lmao Been running your app when I was “counting hands” I was doing tip of the finger to the palm. And I was thinking “wow 4 hands is really tough”. Looks like I can go up a few progression, haha
im interested in learning planche but it hurts my shoulders, any tips? i train lot because i climb two or three times a week and do some calisthenics in the side
What advice do you have for women? Most of us are shaped vastly different than men. Narrow shoulders, wide hips and large buttocks. I am petit and slim, but have 37" hips and 40" butt. I have trouble lifting the bottom half of my body.
Would you say you did alot of weight training aswell to achieve this kind of body or was this more focused on soly increasing your skills and muscle growth comes by? % of both would be great.
0:08 Seems someone forgot about Alex Honnold 😂😂 No worries, Magnus is in the top as well, I mean that's why this showed up in my recommended I guess :D
Hey Sondre, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
He could probably get full planche in a year if he trained it. Most people (who don't neglect basics sets n reps) can achieve planche in a year or 2 in my opinion.
Sooo.. im learning calesthenics for like a year now and I want can do a proper tucked planche. But I'm very heavy from my past as a cyclist. I'm 1,83m and my weight is like 90kg. But the most of my weight lies down in my legs. Is it even possible for me to do a full planche?

Me: "I think my planche body is pretty good."

im interested in learning planche but it hurts my shoulders, any tips? i train lot because i climb two or three times a week and do some calisthenics in the side
Thanks
The equipment is really cool.
This was awesome ❤
What advice do you have for women? Most of us are shaped vastly different than men.
Narrow shoulders, wide hips and large buttocks. I am petit and slim, but have 37" hips and 40" butt. I have trouble lifting the bottom half of my body.
Please is better to do harder version with band (or stronger band) or easier version without (or with thinner band)? Or is best to do both versions?
Would you say you did alot of weight training aswell to achieve this kind of body or was this more focused on soly increasing your skills and muscle growth comes by? % of both would be great.
We need more magnus
0:08 Seems someone forgot about Alex Honnold 😂😂
No worries, Magnus is in the top as well, I mean that's why this showed up in my recommended I guess :D
How is your breathing in these stances o.^ might be pretty cool to have control
Thumbs Up for Magnus’ handstand.
Hey Sondre, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
This is super impressive but Im worried about the (tension on) joints.
How is the planch in comparison to peacock pose in yoga? 😅 similar training?
He could probably get full planche in a year if he trained it. Most people (who don't neglect basics sets n reps) can achieve planche in a year or 2 in my opinion.
7:00 what is the thing like a table with rope used for?
Very good video 👍
My dream is to be a mix of both of you
If magnus mastered Calisthenics, I feel like he could be the best of the best climber out there!
id say magnus joints and msucles are super strong so he might even be able to learn the full in half year max 1 year
Sooo.. im learning calesthenics for like a year now and I want can do a proper tucked planche. But I'm very heavy from my past as a cyclist. I'm 1,83m and my weight is like 90kg. But the most of my weight lies down in my legs. Is it even possible for me to do a full planche?
Thank you. I recently asked magnus about this.
Magnus is a beast😍😍😍
nailed the holy shit push up magnus woohoooo hahaaa
very detailed
Bit bummer to hear a full for Magnus might be a year of work .. assuming it's 2-3x a week .. but good things take time I guess.
