How Should You Measure Planche Leans?

[@FitnessFAQs]

I like your take on the wall method(s).

[@dariharran940]

I was using your method but now I’ll try his method, you both are great athletes that have priceless knowledge

[@luffebassen]

I have a problem when I do planche pushup. My feet keeps sliding closer until I after a few reps fall forward and have to readjust. This is super annoying and prevents me from doing that many reps. I combat this by placing my toes behind a door frame and suddenly I can lean a lot and do much more reps. But am I cheating because I now hold a lot of weight back with my toes? I guess I am. But how do I otherwise solve this problem?

[@dariharran940]

@@luffebassen Try to activate and squeeze your glutes and Quads as they can put pressure on your feet and toes that can force them not to move. Aim for a straight hip and activate your ABS, Avoid pike at the hip as possible as you can. I believe that is what causes the toes and feet to pulled forward. . Note: I’m not a Trainer. Personal experience only and might be wrong, but that is what worked for me

[@SimonsterStrength]

@@luffebassen Yes, you're probably holding some weight back with your toes. My advice would be to reduce the intensity so you can perform the exercise without falling forward. It sounds like you're trying an intensity that is out of reach.

Great question, great answer. I've been stuck for a long time not sure if I'm making any progress. I'll definitely give this a try.

[@sayahhhhhhhhh]

Thanks. I've been engaged in a movement that requires the planche lean. This might help me get further.

Well Presented Bro. Keep it up

[@darinrohatinsky569]

Thank you! The feet to wall method I tried today and now I need to mark my floor so I don’t cheat and make progress 🙌

[@Rupfer79]

I simply start the movement in the bottom position and place the hands in relation to my body where I want them

[@rksrithongsuk8548]

[@kenethguy1892]

simon was born to planche and to teach us how to planche jajaja, great explanation as always

[@Neat-3b]

I've been wondering about this! super helpful and valid points! how important is it for your feet to be pointed though as you're learning the planche or planche push up? the feet don't point the same way against the wall.

[@SimonsterStrength]

Not important at all. Choose the option you prefer.

[@LHCalistenia]

Work on your mobility of pointed toes in order to make your planche fancier when you get strong enough

[@raulzitoporai]

I got wrist pains after starting planche leans...any tips on how to fix it?

[@papapk1521]

Try stretch wrist beforehand and changing hand placement to have thumbs mor forward or even hands completely out to the sides. Just make sure fingers are splayed 🖐️

What's wrong sir

[@Ace-zb5xr]

@@yagurraazerty8376 Do you agree? Seems crazy to me.

[@yagurraazerty8376]

@@Ace-zb5xr It's called a "Straddle planche", currently trying to learn that. Search on YT there are a lot of examples, here's a guy doing full planche push ups : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGqpn3ZoqbSGmqs , it's a bodyweight skill that takes years to master, I was also really impressed the first time I saw it

[@kenzieprice6745]

Unfortunantly, the feet against the wall method can easily be cheated by how much you pike your hips up during the movement, which again, can make each rep inconsistent.

[@SimonsterStrength]

Yes, but the same can be said of the head to wall method. The feet to wall method eliminates one form of cheating and incentivises effort and intensity. Just be mindful to maintain alignment. With the feet against the wall, there one less thing to worry about.

[@TacticalDimples]

But at that point, you’re breaking form. If you’re engaging your core/glutes properly, you wouldn’t be able to pike in the first place.

Hallo Simon! Könntest du deine Videos bitte mit einen deutschen Untertitel erstellen!? Das würde mir sehr weiterhelfen! Ich verfolge deine Videos schon seit Jahren, mach weiter so und vielen Dank für die ganzen Infos! Sportliche Grüße aus Deutschland

[@christianleggett6703]

Do you push your feet into the wall? Does that reduce effort even with the same distance?

[@SimonsterStrength]

I don’t actively push them into the wall as the exercise is already hard enough. Pushing them into the wall would increase effort/difficulty by increasing the demand on the shoulder flexors.

[@christianleggett6703]

@@SimonsterStrength thanks! Amazing and informative as always!

[@jasonvoorhees8899]

Would planche leans be sufficient to achieve Planche ?

[@StrengthSachin]

What should be our goal be when doing lean with feet against the wall? My legs are 36 inches long (hip to feet) so keeping my hands 36 inches away from the wall and leaning forward should be end goal, is it?

[@Jeff_123]

Yeah if you can do that while keeping protraction, depression and ppt.

[@dwat3r]

do it until your feet lift up :p then you have your full planche!

[@psychedeliceuphoria]

Does planche only require your hands to be at your waistline (center of gravity) to be able to lift your legs up. Meaning can I only train straight arm strength and shoulders without doing any leans?

[@xyzz8722]

Did you just say Planche Lean can be harder than Straddle ?

Sangat susah untuk posisi tangan yang miring

[@Mt1200z]

I had to give up after many years of no progress. The planche and other exercises require your body to have a particular anatomy for it to be doable (chicken legs combined with very large deltoids) . Folks like me with bigger legs and calves are at a tremendous disadvantage.
