I did the same mistake on my planche journey. I literally skipped adv tucked planche and go directly to straddle planche. I thought my straddle was good, but it was not! Bent arms, bent knees, piked hips, etc. Then, here i am, starting over from the tucked planche and now i got 2-4 seconds on the advanced tucked planche. So there it is kids! Do not rush and skip progression, result will come if you're patient enough.

@@sreekumar.s1111 i did get a pretty solid straddle planche. but at that time i went to college so i didn't get the time to train planche properly which results in losing my straddle planche. being in that position makes me realize how much discipline you need to achieve the full one, so i gave up for now and now i only train basics and some intermediate moves like the levers and some bent arm planche. but who knows maybe when the time is right i'll return back to train my full planche.

Never be embarrassed about where you start! :) you’ll look back and see how crazy the transformation is! 🙌🏻

dammn this is soo relatable! I had the exact same issue with the form and muscle engagement during the advanced tucked FL and was wondering why i wasn`t getting to next progressions while holding a bad form avanced tucked FL (that looked exactly the same way as you demonstrated it) for over 10 seconds. Since i fixed my form a few months ago i actually notice how hard it is to hold a perfect form advanced tucked compared to a bad one without the right muscle engagement and i`m again on the road to the 10 seconds mark but now with a better form and generally more knowledge about the movement. Sometimes it`s definetly the right way to take steps back to progress saver and more efficient. It`s such a big motivation for me to see someone facing the same struggles on his journey. Keep training smarter instead of harder and thanks a lot for publishing this great content!!

@@DeniM-cv2ro concerning my experience it helps a lot to always record your attempts so you can directly see how your form is looking and what you could change. Apart from that i also find it useful to focus a lot on arching the back during the holds to prevent the hollow body position and force yourself to retract the scapula. You just shouldn‘t overarch your back since that could also result in an incorrect form where your glutes are way under your shoulders even though they should be about on the same height as the shoulders. If this doesn‘t help you could also try to go back to easier progressions like the tucked Fl where your knees aren‘t behind the bar but directly under the bar. I find this progression really useful to transfer from the knees to chest tucked Fl to the actual advanced tucked because it’s difficulty is a lot closer to the advanced tucked in comparison with the knees to chest tucked and you can already work on getting your back straight via scapula retraction which isn’t possible at all with the knees to chest tucked progression. I hope this helps you to progress and keep it up!🙌

subscribed - just because you DID share these videos - as a newcomer to calisthenics and wanting to learn front lever myself and work towards a planche i find this sort of content SO valuable! Much better than just "hey i'm epic do these exercises... buy my tees and merch!" - this is much more honest content that shows you care. Thankyou and congrats on your epic progress - hopefully i can do the same in the near future. I'm merely 7-8 months in. I'm 45 years old and 120kg (265lbs) so its not easy as i'm a big heavy lump lol. But i've been able to get a solid amount of hanging L-sit ...L-sit on parelettes on the floor and i'm working on tucked lever rows with using bands to help build strength for further front lever progressions. I'm sure i will make mistakes as well so its great to see others learning from it all too :) ta Ant

Thanks for this Video. I realized that I shouldn't rush my front lever.

I had the same mistakes too. It took me 8 months to realize that mistake, I injured my shoulders by trying to progress faster. Fast forward a year later, I can hold 6 seconds strict form front lever. I also wish I knew what mistakes to avoid then.

I needed this video, been working on the FL for 7 months and still can't hold a straddle one with good form 😪

Lots of love from India bro

The only thing to realise is that no time was wasted, every effort counts. If it werent for the "wasted time" you wouldnt be here, you would have to learn one way or the other, but surely not without pain weather its emotional or muscular. Thats what grinding is, different people have different difficulties, and that was yours. It wasnt wasted, no time is ever wasted. This is invaluable time which you gained experience from. which is worth more than the skill itself

Do you think staying in a regression until you can literally do pull ups on the position would help not to rush to quickly? Like, lets say: I do advanced tuck FL, until I cant do pull ups in the position I dont go to advanced tuck, and so on. Nice video bro!

yeah its super fustrating. To me normal push up 10reps with sloppy form but now i only do 3reps but more control and i happy with it

I injured my something in my back (upon research i found out, it could be something to do with teres major). Now i am having pain under my armpit radiating towards elbow while doing pullups. The pain isn’t too bad but it definitely creates discomfort while doing a lot of pull movements in day to day life too. Its been 2 days since this happened. What could be the reason, can someone answer this please and what are the remedies.

How long were you training with calisthenics/weights before you started to go for the front lever? And how long did the front lever take you?

I officially started Cali in 2019... and started FL training at arnd Mar/Apr 2020. I never trained with weights before.

i cant seem to see how people start training something and dont research about it these days, lack of form, etc, all those could be easily avoided with a simple youtube search, i got my first front lever in 2 months, clean form, 10 seconds, and no, its not about "Everybody's body is different", thats an excuse, its about studying the sport you practice.
