Planche & Shoulder Routine | Calisthenics Workouts
[Music]
what's going on guys back in the gym and
today I will show you my current branch
training routine so the first exercise
which is also my favorite exercise is
the handstand to planche and I always
like to start with this exercise because
this is such a hard exercise it is super
heavy so as you might know I'm currently
working towards my straddle planche so
to train for this I try to lower from a
handstand to a straddle planche but I
notice that it's still a little bit too
hard so therefore I'm trying to do a
another variation which is a little bit
lighter in which I bend my knees a
little bit to make the exercise easier
so when training for statics I always
try to hold a certain variation for a
minimum of five seconds because when
training for strength it's all about
time and attention of your muscles to
get stronger eventually so please don't
be that guy that always try to do a full
straddle planche or a full front lever
while you can't even do a tucked front
lever or a straddle front lever for a
minimum of 10 seconds or maybe five
seconds it just takes a lot of patience
but I know a step-by-step training
routine will pay off eventually all
right guys so I always like to do for
regular hopes because after that there's
just no energy left inside me and after
that I always like to move on to holes
with a resistance band as this exercise
is definitely the best exercise that
helped me to progress with the planche
and why it's because this is the only
exercise that enables me to get in the
full or straddle planche position I
actually learned this exercise from a
friend of mine which is called Rory so
shout out a new man and as you can see
I'm alternating between bands because as
you can see our first start with only
the red band but I was only able to hold
it for like five maybe four seconds so I
moved on to two bands and now I'm able
to hold it a lot longer so I'm trying to
do it with the red band again and this
is always the way how I would like to
train alternating between bands and
see where I can progress and after each
set I always write down my results in my
digital logbook so I know what my
current record is and what I have to
beat and this goes along with the
principle of progressive overload which
is definitely the best way to train
which I will talk about later so the
third exercise our planche leans and
this is another crucial exercise I went
to a workshop from Artem Morozov and he
is one of the best Russian athletes
calisthenics athletes and he told me
about this exercise and why blanch
leaning is so important and the main
thing here was that your shoulder
mobility needs to increase in order to
get into a full or straddle planche
position so with this exercise I just
try to lean as far as I can and then I
try to hold this as long as possible
so I did this for 3 sets in total with 2
minutes rest in between the sets and
here you can see I almost have my hands
right under my waist line which is the
ultimate goal when trying to do clench
leads and now I only need to lean a
little bit further to increase my
shoulder mobility alright so the fourth
exercise is a handstand push-up with the
belly towards the wall and this is the
first dynamic exercise of my training
routine I always like to start with
static holds and after that I do dynamic
exercises so the main goal with this
exercise is to increase shoulder
strength in the front side of your
shoulders which is the area of your
shoulders that you're using for the most
part when doing a planche
no I think I did eight reps here and as
you can see I'm always going to failure
that's like kind of a habit of me just
going completely all out and I think
that's just the best way to train right
or at least for me personally the most
enjoyable way to train so to finish this
workout off with a complete burn into
your shoulders I do planche lean
push-ups I step onto a box I grab
parallettes and are lower into a
Angeline of course I'm trying to keep
hollow body position which is not always
my best site but at least I'm trying and
from there I'm lowering down into a
really deep pushup and from there I push
up and get back into straight arms and
also into the planche lean with hollow
back position and scapular protraction
so I also did this for three cents and
that was my training my planche and show
the routine of today I hope you guys
like this video and find it
informational so you can use some of
these tips and or some exercises into
your own workouts as you can see right
here I have attached a full workout
