I'm an addict StrongFirst. I'm addicted to Planches. I love how they look so effortless, yet require so much strength. I think of it as the epitome of basic strength calisthenics. I've been obsessed with them for about 5 years now, worked on them on and off and finally really buckled down and worked hard on them for a year and a half now and counting.
It's elusive and tricky. But I've made progress. It sometimes comes slowly, sometimes steadily but it really is about consistency. Anyways, I recently decided to try out a few Straddle Planche holds to see where I stand (really, that was my main goal) and was successful in getting my first! The quality of the picture is poor, so that's a shame but still. There's plenty of work to be done to get a more solid and longer straddle planche, but that should be easier as well as more fun.
I know the Planche gets thrown around occasionally so I felt it would be cool to have a thread to refer back to for useful tips and motivation. It's my favorite move after all!
