Straddle Planche

Additional Information:

Variations:

  • On the floor - a bit harder on the wrist
  • On Rings - Harder due to instability. The longer the straps, the less stable it becomes
  • Supinated Hand Position - More stress on the biceps tendon and least stress on the wrists
  • Neutral Hand Position - Less stress on the wrists
  • Pronated Hand Position - More stress on the wrists

Ways to make it easier:

  • Repping out the entance - holding for a sec or how long you want then back n forth
  • Decreasing the lever - moving your legs closer to your center / increasing the straddle
  • Using external force for support - resistance bands, a partner or something
  • Regressing to an easier variation/exercise

Ways to make it harder:

  • Holding it for as long as possible
  • Doing it on a combination with different variation/exercise - straddle planche to handstand etc.
  • Increasing the lever - moving your legs away from your center / decreasing the straddle
  • Progressing to a harder variation/exercise
