Technique

  1. Grip the parallettes, arms straight, lean the shoulders forward as in the planche lean.
  2. Tuck the knees to the chest and lift the feet off the floor, back rounded, pelvis tucked.
  3. Keep the shoulder blades pushed apart, breathe shallow, short clean attempts.

Common mistakes

  • Bent elbows: that is not a planche.
  • Not enough lean: the feet do not lift. Go back to pseudo planche.
