Description: Planche workouts

A planche can only be considered to be in proper form if the arms are in complete lockout. With planche training, expect to get bigger and stronger biceps, triceps, and elbow joints. Along with this is stronger bent-arm pushing strength as well!

One easy way to see that you’re improving is by being able to progress from a thick resistance band, to a thinner band. And, in fact, you can even measure how much actual help, in terms of weight, you are getting from a given resistance band. 


To do this, you need a scale. What you do is, while standing on a scale, and with the resistance band anchored from the same place you will be training your planche: 

pull the resistance band down to the height that it will be at when you are in any given band-assisted planche position. 

See what your weight is. (It will be less than your full weight)

Let go of the resistance band

Your full weight - Your weight standing on the scale pulling resistance band = the amount of help you are getting.
