sometimes it's not about the strength that one lack, it's about the understanding of your body. i was stuck on tuck planche for a while and then i realize that i couldn't really feel my arm doing the planche, i found out that the problem was i couldn't straighten my arm. then i started doing some maltese presses (ofc i couldn't lift myself up) just to feel the straight arm, that was one of the best choice that i've ever made. 2 weeks later, now i can do full planche with the resistant band strapped to my belly, i think i can unlock the full planche soon

Should be noted that while arm length dont affect the planche and FL much they still play a big role in the difficulty of more advanced moves like maltese, Victorian, and iron cross

Great video, I've got really long legs, and every static movement is hard for me, sometimes I'm not sure if it's worth it to put in 2/3 years of training to get straddle planche.

[@FrinksmovementTV]

First of all. Thank you. It really means a lot to me. Adressing your uncertainty. You gotta answer yourself.. However what im gonna say is, IT IS ALWAYS WORTH to put in the work if you have a choice to do so or not. And mark my words, you GONNA GET THERE, if you just stay consistent and smart about your training. Be sure to set yourself smaller goals - for example, slow tuck planche eccentric, or red band straddle hold 10 seconds. You can always "break" your goal to smaller pieces and then suddenly this long and wavy way will become just a group of stairs toward the goal. Im gonna adress bodyweight training programming in my future videos, and get more in deph with that. Have a good one, and remember not to give up. As im pretty sure every single healthy man on this planet can achieve straddle planche if he put the work in it ;)

[@q4rty]

@@FrinksmovementTV I totally agree that straddle planche is in reach for everybody, but full planche isn't.

1.6 meters tall, short torso and LONG, LONG arms with a lot of really high shoulder strength. I don't really need to learn that much, in fact when I was trying planche progressions.

[@ShOcKTeh]

4:45 I think you are starting to confuse a few things here. The lever arm in the planche/front lever is the distance from your shoulder girdle to your center of mass, not your arm length. So longer arms dont increase the lever in these two exercises (but they do in the iron cross for example).

[@FrinksmovementTV]

It depends, if we look at purely shiulder flexion - longer arm means more force we have to put - but because we need to lean more with shorter arm the arm length wont contribute to difficulty as much

[@ShOcKTeh]

@@FrinksmovementTV If we would calculate the torque our own bodyweight produces in our shoulder joints in the planche position, we would come to the conclusion it only depends on the distance center of mass to shoulder girdle and not the arm length, since the lever arm has to be measured perpendicular to the force our bodyweight generates. Lets assume an easy model, x is the distance CoM to shoulder girdle, G our bodyweight * gravity then: torque = x *G . The relation between armlength, x and the angle of the arms (like in 5:05 ) is: x = armlength * sin(angle). So the torque is independent of arm length. "longer arm means more force we have to put" This is true for a lot of things, but interestingly enough not for planching and front levers, since the lever arm exists independently from arm length. This is also why planching and front lever is way harder for taller people (more relative strength recquired), since the lever arm (distance center of mass toshoulder girdle) pretty much directly correlates with height.

[@leftvassis]

The lever is a bit complex.Its the distance of your shoulder compared to where the force is being applied,aka your palms,lets say force,lever A and then measuring that in comparison to the lever of your center of mass where the distance is that to your palms,lets say ,force,lever B.If A>B then you can hold a planche.

[@ShOcKTeh]

@@leftvassis Ideally the palms are directly over your center of graviy. If A>B then there is no equilibrium, so you dont hold the planche in the correct position (unless your compensate for the new resulting moment arm with your wrists). A has to be equal to B if we are ignoring compensation by the wrists.

[@leftvassis]

@@ShOcKTeh For taller people its almost impossible though to have the palms directly under COM,not only because of the lean but also because of the stress on the wrists.A being equal to B is the minimum force required to hold a planche.If A>B then the hold is easier for you

[@MyEditman]

Basically long legs make the movement harder because of the leverage and need to lean more. Longer arms on paper should help for more stability. Short torso is great if you have short legs. In my case, long ass legs, short af torso and arms longer than they should. That's why I struggled so much on the basics and can barely manage 1 leg tucked FL and MAYBE a Straddle Elbow Lever. I shall not give up!!!

[@palmi3649]

Interesting video. I learnt interesting things about the leverages. About the arms length I am a bit sceptical but it makes sense. I subscribed. Planche is a long and dangerous journey. About routines and progression, a lot of the best street workout athletes like Valentin Blanc, Nicolas Carré or Dai-Long Huynh says that you should rely more on your sensation than on a really structured routine. I agree with them, I don't have their level but working on elements that feel challenging is definitely helping.

[@FrinksmovementTV]

random question: planche, front lever, etc, these are not the best exercises for gaining muscle mass or? that is just skill exercises? i dont want to learn new movements. that is a waste of time if i just want muscle mass.

[@FrinksmovementTV]

The simple answer for that question would be - depends on your approach. Exercise like front lever pulls or rows are great exercises for your back, but you dont HAVE to do them, and you can pretty much get same hypertrophy responce with simple pullups and barbell rows. In fact, any resistance exercise that you can progressively overload over time and accumulate enough volume in will make a job. So if you dont want any skills - you dont have to train them, and it wont inhibit your hypertrophy (muscle building) gains

[@bestboy007]

@@FrinksmovementTV brodin

[@luwi8125]

5:23 I am not a physicist either, but I believe that your reasoning about arm length is false. I believe that the longer your arms are the better. Imagine someone with 5 meter long arms. They could almost rest their entire bodyweight on their arms. At the same time, the point on the arm where your shoulder muscles are attached will very likely be further from the shoulder proportionally to how long your arm is, giving you more power to rotate the arm. The reason tall people have a harder time reaching the planche is not the distance to the center of mass, since the shoulder muscles attach proportionally further from the shoulders, which compensates. The reason is that their muscles are built of longer muscle fibres, which makes them not able to be as explosive as shorter people. Therefore tall people are not as strong in military shoulder press, for example, as short people, compared to their bodyweight.
