This is the best Planche Tutorial video I have seen in the past 5 years or so. It's so rare to find a tutorial mentioning the inevitable which is physique and also the progression to develop the extensors of the spine. Glad to see someone giving actual helpful advise.
Thanks for the comment man 😊 appreciated! And I’ll keep uploading whatever I feel is valuable information and stuff I wish someone told me along my 10 year journey 😅
I am 14 years old and I have achieved my first 3 seconds of tuck planche this video will help me to continue advancing thank you very much for these instructions
I love your journey video you have incredible accomplishments how did you begin I'm trying to find a place where I can learn from the beginning thank you
This and your press handstand video are incredible. I was a gymnast for 4 years in high school. I've been working on these tricks for years on and off, and your videos showed me exactly what I'm lacking (no other video or coach has) and exactly how to target those areas. Amazing content.
I have rewatched this video a lot now. It feels unique. Thank you for opening my perspective on how to tackle the planche. Regressing from a piked straddle and trying to attain the open half lay planche has given new life to my planche practice. Not a lot talk about trying to progress a leg, a hip, at a time. Thank you sir! :D
Wow, this is super helpful.... I agree 100% with you that going from Tuck Planche to Full Planche has many "missing progressions". I've been stuck at Tuck Planche for a while, struggling to move to Advanced Tuck Planche.... never even thought of trying a "One Leg Advanced Tuck Planche", but this feels like what I've been missing.
I cant do full planche yet but i can recommend some progression 1. Planche lean(build shoulder strength and stability first) 2. Reverse leg lift(build glute strength to lift your leg) 3. Frog stand(it just made me more familiar with tuck plance) 4. Tuck planche 5. One leg advance tuck planche 6. Advance tuck planche 7. Half-half lay planche(diagonal leg positon)(not mandatory,you can replace with one leg planche) 8. Actual half lay planche 9. Straddle half lay planche 10. Straddle planche 11. Full planche This progression is a bit longer than the typical planche progression you see in most videos but it really add to the small things that can help you advance like the one leg adv tuck. Also you can just skip half lay part but i think it will be easier for you to advance with half lay parts because they may be quicker to progress through. Keep in mind that this is my idea,not that i recommend it but you can do the half lay if you're light enough and I've seen others do it too.
i love this tutorial, breaking down the mechanics of everything to work on. it's the smart way to do things. start out by doing planche attempts. then break it down, shoulders - maltese dumbbell presses. back extensors, maltese assists/negatives (with shoulder support to put emphasis on back). i've also been doing the straight arm presses on dip bars, but now that i've seen this, i guess i should be curling my legs up and going through the planche progressions.
Now why didn't I think of using my bands to help with my planche?! I am one of those heavier guys (for now), and this opened up the ability to move from tucked planche to full planche with bands and dynamic movement full planche up to handstand. I really love this. Best tutorial I've seen out there! Thank you!
i got out of being stuck at tuck planche by training my hspu and planche PUs. I prefer doing dynamic exercises so those 2 exercises have been helping me keep my efforts in achieving a straddle planche. im currently holding a super piked straddle for about 5-7s :)
Strange. In my experience bent arm strength has little carryover to planche training. Except of course if all you are missing is the shoulder strength. In most cases this is not where people are failing though 😅
@@Sondre_Berg bent arm pressing helped me as well. Getting a sick weighted dip, weighted pushup and lots of hspu reps gave me a pike straddle planche for free without any direct training @ 187cm and 90kg bodyweight
@@mrnaizguy interesting! I consider myself a pretty strong pusher in terms of bent arm strength, but I personally had little carryover to planche training. I could rep out 90 degrees with ease before even thinking about the straddle planche. I’d love to see you planche and also know your max for the exercises you mention, let’s say for educational purposes 😜 If wouldn’t be too much to ask, If you could send me this on message on IG (Sondre_berg), or in my forum on my website (www.bergmovement.com/forum), that would awesome 😊 Same for you Kwan Daniel
same thing worked for me, im at the exact same place as you lol. another thing that helped i think was resistance bands to get the straddle planche muscle memory. stay consistent, good luck bro!!
Brilliant honesty off the bat. I've been (slowly and not focused on but) working toward a planche since around mid-2020 and have seen little progress. Obviously I didnt start by focusing on planche, but can now go into a bent elbow planche and the bottom of a pseudo planche pushup. I'm 6"4 and have relatively long arms, but got into running in 2020 because I realized that my asthma no longer had a big impact on it, always been a swimmer and my legs are pretty chunky. Also a bit of a fighter, so keeping fast twitch fibers engaged was a bit difficult at the start. Recently have had trouble with my lower back as I had been so focused on the upper part lately with quarantine and it just puts more constant strain on my lower back, haha! So I injured it, and am now working on lower back exercises. I can hold tuck planche for a while.
Really want to thank you boss, i’m sort of stuck at tuck planche but after watching this video i now know what i need to work on to go to advanced tuck💪💪
Yes the details about the spine extensors were very interesting. Moreover, I would like to learn more about the wrist position and angle during the planche and the difference using the bars.
I'm going to be using this tutorial as consistently as possible and recording the results here, (Consider it as a little bit of motivation!) Starting physique, Very fit, visible 6 pack and obliques. 160cm 46kg Competes in national competitons in 100m Australia. No Equiptment. Starting Skills Elbow lever 40 push ups 12 pull ups 10min plank 5sec handstand 1min 🐸frog stank thing. *Day 1.* Working on getting to a tuck planche, feels impossible to hold legs up. When holding legs up is purely from momentum. *Day 2.* Feels like day 1. Did lots of planche leans and planche lean push ups to get enough strength to do a tuck planche. Ordered some parallettes. *Day 3* Same as day 2 and 1 but can sorta hold a l sit *Day 4* Getting better at a L sit *Day 6* Injured shoulder from incorrect form *Day 7* Injured *Day 8* Injured *Day 9* Injured *Day 10* Started doing stuff again *Day 11* Got a 5 second L sit Day 12* Getting into a 3 second tuck planche,
Thank you for putting this video up you mention stuff that indeed hasn't been said in other videos. Another thing that can be used for helping the gap between progressions is ankle weights e.g. struggling to go from tuck to advanced tuck use ankle weights in tuck
I would definitely be up for some indepth discussion on body proportions. Maybe not only around planche but other exercises too. I would really like to know what I can expect to be hard for me and what might be easier. Anyways, really awesome content. Subscribed!
Great video!!! The intermediate steps you showed are exactly what I need. I am also going to train the Maltese Press as well - never seen that before but it totally makes sense.
Hello Sondre. First time seeing your videos and I love it. Ive been practicing but harder than what I thought. However, getting better. Great music and tutorial. My only comment is that you are very good looking and love the accent and at times I can't concentrate. I will subscribe. Thanks for sharing.
Really cool and informative video! Probably the only downside, as other pointed out, is the background music a bit too loud. Anyway, keep up the good work!
I would love two tutorials or at least your thoughts on these two ideas @Sondre Berg (huge fan btw, I love how supportive you are, you build a great and inspiring community
Hey man :) I have a tutorial for the human flag in case you want to check it out 😊 There Are also plenty of hard sissy squat variations as well as dragon squat variations if you haven’t checked these your 😊
@@Sondre_Berg I just checked it out! Great stuff, thanks so much! Dragon squat was also a terrific suggestion- I've been working towards that one and no idea that it was called that or that other people were doing it. You're a great inspiration- I just did my first hspu this week because of your tutorials! I've got a long way to go!
Inconsistency for me has been my problem with planche haha. Getting back into it now tho ! But honestly straddle planche is easier for me then advanced tuck or even just tuck. I have longer legs shorter torso and it feels super awkward for me to be in the tuck positions. But I feel I have an easier time starting from straddle and going from there.
Inconsistency can be a real killer indeed. And for skills like this, which takes a looong time to develop, it is even harder. What helps for me is to set smaller goals and sell rate them equally as much as the big ones. Full planche doesn’t need to be your first goal 😊
Very usefull it toke 5 months to get tucked planch on floor hold it 17 sec today, I can say I was happy, and felt the hard work playing off its only the start off my Journey very motivating my friends say not possible im to old i m 50 but I will prove them wrong
Very informative I can do three set 15 sec on parraletts that's for the tucked planch , at 59 year old I think that's not to bad so my journey has only just begun . thanks Syl
One option I noticed by watching very flexible women doing the straddle planche (SP), is the SP would be a bit easier w/ more flexible hips, therefore it would be worth it to work on your middle splits and pancake while on your journey to SP.
Hello, what you said in your video about the problem with heavier lower body is something I'm pretty sure applies to me, so could you give me some exercises for that muscle next to the spine you spoke about or make a video mentioning it. Grate content by the way i really enjoy your videos. Keep up the grate high quality content and you can reach places, I'm sure in it
I believe I did introduce some drills for this in the end of the video - namely the assisted Maltese press variations. Starting with the open half lay with inclinometer reps 😊
Thank you very much. I really like your content. Most people don't have this problem, but I"m really struggling in reaching the first step: tucked planche. Could you make an tutorial about this? I would be really happy.
Will definitely do :) and you are mistaken in that most people don’t have this problem, cause most do😜 It’s just a lot of people don’t want to talk about it. Based on my many years experience as a coach, I would actually say that the opposite is true - most people struggle with the tuck planche. Most of the “learned the planche in 1 year” out there would tell you otherwise of course, but these are the real freaks 😜
Subtitles in Spanish please 🥺
I allready translated 2 videos to Spanish 😊 this will also be translated.
Let's go brooooo
Spanish subtitles added :)
This helps me a lot thanks bro
@@Sondre_Berg Thanks so much! Spanish speakers is a very large community. We are very happy that you put some subtitles!! 🙏🔝🔝
