'Tuck' to 'Straddle-planche' forms & drills
SAS push (horizontal)

1m 34s
THE WHAT:
The 'Planche' is a strength-skill based around the capacity to holds one's bodyweight off of the floor in a horizontal/prone position, supported with STRAIGHT-arms. Its difficulty is in/decreased through self-directed 'mechanical-advantage', essentially by extending or flexing one's spine/legs further from or closer to the body.
As this is effectively a 'lever' form, just as with the hanging variations (i.e. 'Back/front-lever') the legs effectively function as the 'load-arm', and extending/flexing them serves to lengthen/shorten it making the hold easier/harder.

THE WHAT:
Beginning with a fundamental, vertical-support position we develop straight-arm scapular-strength (SASS) in coordination with the global "hollow" structure. This structure is integral to nearly all bodyweight strength work, no matter straight-arm or bent-arm, nor the orientation of the ... -

THE WHAT:
Shifting the capacity to perform a 'Tuck-planche' to the unstable modality of the gymnastics rings. Toward accustoming to this instability, practice starts with the fundmental 'Pike extension' with the same form & executional checkpoints as in the stable 'P-bars' variation. From here, t... -
The 'Cast Walk'
THE WHAT:
The 'Cast Walk' is a straight-arm strength (SAS) development context in which the strength-curve is maximal in the LAST 90-degrees (90-180) of arm-flexion (i.e. arms straight out in front, until overhead). This makes it particularly valuable in developing the strength of straight-arm, O...
