The key takeaways are that this program outlines different levels to progress towards more advanced planche skills like the full planche. It provides target sets and reps to aim for at each level before moving on.

The different levels in the planche progression are Level 1 (Noob), Level 2 (Rookie), Level 3 (Road to Straddle), Level 4 (Straddle Mastery), Level 5 (Road to Full Planche), and Level 6 (Full Planche Mastery).

The target sets and reps for Planche Level 1 are: 3 Sets x Tuck Planche - Aim for 10 sec., 3 Sets x Lean Hold - Aim for 15 sec., 3 Sets x Push Ups – 15 Reps, 3 Sets x Wall Handstand Push Ups – 5-10 Reps, 3 Sets x Dips – 15 Reps, and 3-4 Sets x Weighted Straight Arm Front Shoulder Raises – 8 Reps x 3-6 KG.

General Tips & Tricks

• This program is suitable for absolute beginners but to avoid injury,


you need to be in general shape.
• Lower to average body fat is recommended before trying to learn
this skill!
• Prerequisites are 10 push-ups in a single set, 6 dips in a single set,
20 seconds plank, and a handstand on a wall. If you cannot do any
of these requirements, I suggest you first start with my Beginner
Bodyweight Workout Program, which is available here:

• For best results, you should train the Planche 5 days per week but
depending on your recovery, you may reduce the frequency. Train
at your own pace!
• Each workout you should be feeling fresh and full of power. Do
not force things as this may lead to injury. If you are tired, skip the
workout, and come back tomorrow! The exercises in this program
are intense so make sure you are trying training at 100% capacity!
• This program is pure Planche oriented. It is recommended to learn
only one skill at a time, but if you want to combine the Planche
with another exercise (for example the Front Lever), choose the 3
most difficult exercises from this program and the 3 most difficult
from the other and combine them in a single training protocol.
• Before each session make sure you do a general warmup for 10
to 15 minutes. Light jogging or rope jumping is perfect. Do circles
with your neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hips. Do some
dynamic stretches to make the blood flow into your body.
• After each session spend at least 20 minutes stretching your pecs,
lats, biceps and wrists! This is important and you should not skip
it, if you want to be healthy in the long run!
• If you want to try the Planche outside of your training, try to not
do it more than 2-3 times per day as it is intense and heavy. It
may hinder your progress.
• You should get workout bands. For each exercise with a rubber
band, you should adjust it to match your current strength level.

Workout Levels

• Choose a level you will be comfortable to do for one workout so


that it will feel heavy, but doable. Do not skip levels or rush the
process!
• Each level has targets you should reach before you move on to
the next one!
• Each workout you should attempt these target sets and reps.
• Don’t worry, if you cannot do all the sets or all the reps. You will
build your strength over time, just do as many as you are able to
do. You will improve after one-two weeks!
• Be consistent and results will follow!
• After you reach the last level, you may want to move to more
advanced Planche variations, like the Maltese for example. I have
programs for those, so make sure you check them out here:
http://www.nedkosw.com/
• IMPORTANT: after you reach you targets and they become easy,
do them for 2 more weeks to strengthen your connective tissue.
After that you should move to the more advanced exercises. Do
not rush the process, because it may lead to an injury!
