Here are 4 of the best tips to help you unlock the tuck planche!

The tuck planche is an awesome calisthencis skill that serves as a gateway to more advanced skills like:

The straddle planche
The full planche
Handstand press
Tuck planche push ups

It’s also a great exercise for building strength and muscle in the shoulders and biceps, as it places a lot of tension on these muscles.

If you’re a calisthenics beginner and can’t hold the tuck planche yet then don’t worry I have included tucked planche progressions at the end of the video. These are ranked from easiest to hardest, so you have a clear line of progression to follow when training for the tuck planche.

The tucked planche is a deceptively “easy” looking skill, however there’s a lot to think about when holding it. Key things you should be aware of when performing the tucked planche are:

Your hand positioning
Making a mindmuscle connection with your upper back (specifically the muscles around the scapula and serratus anterior)
Keeping your core engaged
Leaning forward
Breathing


For those of you who read the descriptions of my videos, below is a list of my personal favourite tuck planche progressions. These are the progressions that helped me the most when training for the tucked planche. However, as everyone is different, it’s best to experiment with different progressions to see which ones work best for you.

My favourite tuck planche progressions:

Pseudo tuck planche hold
Planche lean
Pseudo planche push ups
Straddle planche lean leg lifts
