My Current Planche Workout to SUPERHUMAN Strength
what's up guys it's Michael here from
calisthenics family and welcome to a new
video and in this video I'm going to
show you my road to pledge workout so
it's gonna be a workout frog this time
as you guys know and two months ago I
started my road to planche and in my
seventh week already I'm going to show
you my French workout today and to see
where I'm at at the end of the the
worker program director it for myself
and also to motivate you to inspire you
maybe give some tips along the way so
it's just gonna be a raw workout just me
sharing my home workout so stay tuned
for the video all right Kay so before I
start with the planche I always like to
start with some handset training to
activate the scapula and at first I
always start on the wall because then I
can fully protract my scapula and warm
this whole area so that's what I'm gonna
do first and athlete I'm gonna do some
free handstands and then I'm gonna start
with the plains training so that's
basically my like full routine before I
start with with the planche so let's do
it alright guys so welcome to the
voiceover so what the for so far I'm
just gonna take you through my workout
and while I'm watching my own videos
back so as you can see here starting
with wall handstands and I'm really
focusing on a protraction of my scapula
so I'm really trying to focus to press
into the parallettes
to really open up my shoulders and I've
been working on this particular exercise
the chin to chest handstand to open up
my shoulders and to prepare for the for
the one-arm handstand and here you see
me warming up for the one-arm handstand
a little side bending to the left side
and also to the right side and for some
reason the the left side goes way better
for me personally than the right side as
you can see but if I look at like five
or six weeks ago I couldn't even do this
so definitely a lot of progression here
so after the wall incidents are moving
to handstands like regular handstands as
you can see here I'm really struggling
but the chest to chin handstand but I'm
definitely getting better
and then I'm going to the one-armed
instance and there was actually my best
attempt as you can see you have to watch
really carefully to the the fingers oh
holy guys
there's definitely my luggage hold on
the right side with two fingers on the
left hand alright guys so as you can see
warm-up for the planche here really
focusing on the scapula straight arms
protraction and pressing into the
parallettes while leaning forward and
also this particular exercise is really
really nice
because now I can even protect my
scapula even more so you have to press
into the parallettes so there was
actually much very first attempt of the
plains today but I noticed that it
didn't went pretty well so I tried to do
the walk the handstand to planche and
for some reason that works better for me
training eccentric instead of concentric
[Music]
so in total I'm doing five sets taking
three minutes rest in between and I
think this was my best Blanche during
this workout yes yeah so as you can see
really happy with that
and after the the regular ones it's
shredder once I try to do the one leg
blanch for the first time so I'm
lowering the intensity and now I'm
moving on to detect Blanche as well so
as you can see I'm just slightly
building off the intensity of each set
so I'm still able to hold the flange for
like five seconds alright guys so that
was the static part of the training and
as you can see I did five sets in which
I lowered the intensity by each new set
and with the planche I did the straddle
planche from a handstand for like five
seconds I don't know but it was my best
attempt so Forrest since I had my elbow
injury so I'm definitely getting back to
my old level maybe I already reached
when I would level I don't know but yeah
I'm just really really stoked about this
so now let's continue to the next part
to work out the dynamic part in which
I'm gonna make more repetitions to get
stronger so let's go so welcome to the
dynamic part of the workout and I think
this is the part that most people
neglect when training for static
exercises most people only do the skill
work but forget to do the actual reps
set so this is the dynamic part and very
yet I think for me personally the most
important part to to actually get
stronger so here you see me focusing on
the depressing part of the planche so
moving to a straddle planche and
pressing back up to the handstand I
started with a really thick band
I I was able to do three repetitions and
while I'm doing more sets also getting
more bands like thicker bands like it
allows me to do the same kind of
repetitions up to six repetitions
because I'm still working on strength
and when working on strength you want to
be in a rep range between one and six
repetitions so here you can see my
logbook always tracking my progress and
then I'm moving on to the next exercise
and for this one we need a measurement
tape because we are working on planche
leans so the same rules the same thing
apply first I'm trying to go as far as
possible so with the most intensity
within this exercise I'm only doing this
for one repetition and I'm doing this at
70 centimeters and after this I'm doing
a few more sets with more repetitions
when have while having the measurement
tape at 60 centimeters so as you can see
with each exercise I I start with the
highest intensity and then I lower the
intensity
[Music]
all right guys so as you can see I'm
actually checking my own form here so
I'm watching my scapula so now I'm
training the planche lean in an
eccentric way with the band's so this
allows me to go even further than the
regular planche lean and I'm doing this
exercise so my body can already adapt to
the lean that is necessary for the full
planche eventually so I'm leaning
forwards until my shoulders will drop on
the floor what's up bus and then we're
moving out to the last exercise of this
workout exercise seven and this is
called this a neti press or you can also
say straight arm simple press to really
finish off this workout at the straight
arm workout and this exercise really
allows me to work in the full range of
motion with the planche exercise that
you're you're doing with straight arms
and it also allows me to really focus
only on the shoulder while neglecting
the core and also not having struggles
with with balance for example so I'm
also doing this the other way around for
the front leave for as you can see
[Music]
and I just really like to finish this
work it up with this exercise because
you can just go all out as you can see
so that's what I'm doing right here we
should show that limit alright guys so
that was my last exercise and I decided
to switch over a full voiceover so that
was basically my pledge workouts that
I'm doing right now I'm almost at the
end of the eight-week work a program
that I created for myself I have
definitely seen a huge progress and by
the way you can also download this exact
same training program that I'm using in
the link down below it's totally free so
you can also get some inspiration out of
that so this is basically how I train
