If I was to start planche training again from scratch, this is an example of a workout I might do. . Recently, I asked on my IG stories whether anybody would be interested in a beginner's planche workout and got a good response so here it is. . I've been training planche for approximately 12 months now, having started in January 2019. I wasn't training consistently until around the summer and that's when I started seeing noticeable progress. Certainly, if I could go back in time, I'd remove the thrashing about at the start of my planche journey and part of that is what I'm sharing here. . This workout assumes a couple of things: * the trainee has already developed a decent amount of upper body strength, * a good warm up has been done with special attention to the shoulder girdle. . The workout consists of 4 exercises. For each exercise, I've offered an easier and a more difficult variation. Choose the options which allow you to do in the range of 8-12 reps for the first two exercises and 10-15 for the latter two exercises. So, that's... . 💪 Exercise 1 - push-up plus OR pseudo planche push-ups 💪 Exercise 2 - planche lean pulses OR tucked L-sit to tuck planche lifts 💪 Exercise 3 - scapula dips OR pike pull through 💪 Exercise 4 - whippet OR scapula push-ups . 90-120 seconds rest in-between sets and go for 3-4 sets of each exercise. . Of course, this is just one example of a workout and should not be considered a full programme by any means as there's much which isn't covered at all. That said, if you're anything like me when I first started training for planche then this should help. . If you give this a go, let me know what you think! . #plancheworkout #straddleplanche #planchetips #bodyweightworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/B6mL1swJiAU/?igshid=doc2xjzo1oim
