Nice channel. Like and subscribe for you bro. Can you make video how to do one arm pull ups progression for even reps?

[@PaulTwyman]

Thanks, more one arm pull up content coming but for now check this one I made kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZXYp3ignbuCnLc

I can hold a tuck planche more than 15 seconds but I can't raise my hips higher than horizontal. I have low parallets so I haven't done l sit to tuck planche much. I've entered directly to tuck planche on floor or parallets most of the time. I want to add tuck planche raises to my workout as a dynamic exercise but I can't just figure out how to raise my hips higher. Do you have any exercise that could help me? It would be a great help for my planche journey.

[@PaulTwyman]

Handstand to tuck Planche or eccentric tuck press will definitely help

[@Iforgorlegday]

@@PaulTwyman Thank you so much! Eccentric tuck planche teaches how to push with your shoulders to raise yourself. It even transferred to my advanced tuck planche hold. You are a life saver!

L-sit to tuck planche is so hard for me. My push game is so weak compared to my pull, lots of work to do.

[@PaulTwyman]

I’m the opposite! So know that feeling

[@mray3308]

I'm 48 yo and I can do an L-sit to tuck planche on low p-bars and can hold it like 5-6 secs. The problem is when I'm done and start to release the pressure on my wrists my forearm tendons hurt like hell. Releasing pressure very slowly helps but still lot of pain. Do you experience any forearm pain while doing planches?

[@PaulTwyman]

This is common in different movements, where you feel discomfort when releasing or come out of the movement. I would normally look at mobilising the muscles surrounding the joint but also the further up the chain. Normally increasing mobility and flexibility of the thoracic/shoulders and even the hips can create more space throughout the body. It’s also worth trying a different set up like adjusting the p bar angle, width etc

[@alxnd_r6345]

Yeah its very common even at 20y olds that are starting. Use a dumbell if you have one. Hold it like a pistol and move your wrist up and down. You should feel it

[@Iforgorlegday]

Oh yeah it hurts like hell. I am 18 yo and I had the same problem. When I was exiting from a tuck planche hold there was a sharp pain on the ulnar side of my forearm. It was so bad that after I finish the movement, I couldn't move my arms because of intense pain. I continued training through it and it slowly faded away. It is probably because of the load on the muscles and tendons of our wrist and forearm. You can condition them with planche leans.
