How to Tuck Planche - 4 AMAZING Tips! (Calisthenics)

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 mind-muscle 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

My man, ive been scowering everywhere for a good tuck planche tutorial and yours is by far the best and has helped me progress the most. Keep up the amazing work man. Cant wait to see what videos from you are yet to come

Great video. I found that using a rubber band under my waist attached to a chin up bar is great way to start and get assistance, and helps reduce stress on wrists, get a few bands and gradually reduce the tension. Also no mentions you have to start with your hips up higher than shoulders! I still can only manage a few seconds but getting there!

Another thing you missed out is is to depress your shoulder by pulling it away from your neck this engages your lats and chest, giving you a stronger planche as compared to just rounding your upper back

[WorkoutUnionPT]

As always, with those great tips! Keep it up man!

[manxxBIG]

THANK YOU MUCH!! I finally understand why I haven't been able to lift my feet off the wouldn't keep my feet in the right way. I've successfully been able to hold myself for 0.5 to 1.5 seconds on my first day today.

And I'm a giant 6 feet 7 inch 230 pound guy 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💝

Can't wait to get back into the grind, my shoulder and pectoral on my right side are killing at the moment. 😂

I didn't warm up properly and over exerted, mistakes were made.
