for those who train fingertip strength for stuff like fingertip handstands or planche, how do you actually train it? like what exercises/progressions do you use to build enough finger strength to support your bodyweight, and how often do you train it? also is there a difference between training finger strength for fingertip handstands vs planche?

for those who autoregulate planche training, how do you actually decide what to change on a given day? for example, if the main progression is normally going well but i feel a bit worse than usual, how do you decide between: - keeping the same progression but doing fewer sets - switching to an easier progression - keeping the volume but lowering intensity - or ending planche work altogether? and what objective signs do you use to make that decision (hold quality, seconds, shaking, RIR, performance compared to previous sessions, etc.) rather than just going by how you feel? also, how do you handle this across a week with hard/medium/technique days? do you keep the day types fixed and autoregulate the dose within them, or change the whole session depending on readiness?

For people who are actually advanced at planche / have coached it seriously: what programming principles made the biggest difference for you beyond just “do planche progressions”? I'm more interested in the volume × intensity × frequency relationship, fatigue management, neural adaptation, specificity, and how you structure progression over months. For example, how do you decide how many hard planche sets/quality seconds to do per week, how often to train near-max intensity, and whether high-frequency submaximal exposure is actually useful? Also interested in how you handle plateaus and deloads. Looking for advice from people who have actually gotten to advanced planche levels, rather than basic exercise/progression recommendations.

Planche Meso — feedback wanted Goal: Adv tuck → open/extended → full planche. Secondary: HSPU/OAHS, weighted+explosive pullups, planche press, straight-arm/protraction/PPT. Split: Push/Pull/Push/Pull/Push/Pull/Rest Rules: Planche priority; no random maxing. Main planche = hardest clean progression at target RIR; gradually open hips/extend legs. Static RIR = quality sec left. 3–5m rest. Bad day = easier progression. Leans = secondary, 3–4 RIR. OAHS GTG low-fatigue. HSPU/90°/transitions low-fatigue; before Push only short primer. W1 high vol: D1 P: planche 4x5–7s @2–3RIR; tuck PP 3x2–3; PPPU 3x6–10; lean 2x15–25s; HSPU 3x3–5 D3: planche 3x4–6 @3–4; tuck PP 2x2; lean 2x15–20 @4; HSPU 2x3–5 D5: planche 4x5–7 @2; tuck PP 2x2–3; PPPU 2x6–10; lean 2x15–25 @3–4 W2 mod vol/higher int: D1 planche 4x4–6 @1–2; tuck PP 3x2–3; PPPU 2x6–8 D3 planche 3x4–5 @3; tuck PP 2x2; lean 2x15–20 @4 D5 planche 3x5–7 @1–2; tuck PP 3x2–3; PPPU 2x6–8; lean 2x15–20 @3–4 W3 low vol/high int: D1 planche 3x4–6 @1; tuck PP 2x2–3; PPPU 2x5–8 D3 planche 3x3–5 @3–4; lean 2x15–20 @4 D5 planche 2–3x4–6 @1–2; tuck PP 2x2; PPPU 2x5–8 W4 deload: planche 2–3x3–5 @4; easy tuck PP/lean/HSPU. Pull volume ~50%. Progression: add quality sec/reps → harder leverage. No fixed adv-tuck benchmark; progress when current leverage becomes easy at target RIR. Q: Is 3x planche/wk + 3 loading weeks/1 deload good for Adv tuck → full? What would u change re volume, intensity, frequency, progression/fatigue?

For someone prioritizing planche, what would an actual week of training look like in your experience? Mainly interested in how you'd structure the planche work across the week, frequency, hard vs submaximal days, approximate sets/volume, and where you'd put full planche specific work like banded holds/attempts. An example week would be really helpful.
