In this episode of Road to Full Planche, we’re on Day 7 of the journey. This is my third planche workout, and I’m already seeing small but significant improvements. As a medical doctor and calisthenics athlete with over 14 years of experience, I’m testing out new methods, including Grease the Groove, to accelerate my strength gains while maintaining proper recovery.
Here’s what’s covered in this video:
- A breakdown of my warm-up routine and why warm-ups should be adaptable
- Tuck planche presses to handstand
- Testing my advanced tuck planche hold and refining technique
- Implementing Grease the Groove: what it is, how I’m using it, and research insights
- Straddle planche push-up eccentrics—improving control and minimizing technique flaws
- New planche lean drills to improve lean angle and measure progress
