Elbows in planche. lockout OR slight bend?
Help me find the truth. Hey all, Been practicing planche for a while and im wondering if a Slight bend is the go to? i kinda feel more powerful in this position, and recently @Simon Imhäuser posted an ig reel with doing a slightly bent arm full planche. I've always heard that full lockout is the perfect form, but is that so? And if somebody is unable to fully lock out the elbows straight by nature - i get it. However, my right arm is straight and the left one is gay (lol) - i mean overextended. So by having it at a slightl bend helps a bit. Looking to also know if the slightly bent arm planche is a fine base for harder skills, like planche press, maltese, etc. Thank you for replying in advance 🙏🏻

I love calisthenics but sometimes i just envy ppl who dont train at all
i love calisthenics and i dont see myself quitting calisthenics anytime soon but sometimes i just envy ppl who dont train at all and eat whatever they want. i wish i could have this super power where i can just eat whatever i want and still hit the macros and calories 😭😭 theres just so much delicious foods

you make sacrifices today so that later you dont have to. ppl who dont train at all choose otherwise and pay the price at a later age. life is about choosing your hard

Question to everybody
A friend of mine told me..he thinks he will never be able to do planche because his wrist are too small and if he tries they will be injured. Is this true? Is there a restriction if the wrist are not big enough or can it be trained?

define small wrists and how exactly is this a limiting factor lol. anyways, planche can be done with - pronated wrist position (fingers pointing forward) - neutral (fingers to the side) - or supinated (fingers backward) pronated is hardest on the wrist and i dont know how it is possible, but there are people how have made their wrists strong enough to do it. supinated has least pressure in wrists but is harder to learn since it transfers load more on to the biceps. neutral is the middle ground, pretty much the beginners choice. unless that guy has serious wrist mobility limitations by nature, its all doable. even with those limitations ther is always a way. paralletes for example instead of floor

Progress In Skills
Do you guys think that if you progress in one skill, the other skills that you are training can be slow? Or do you think that skills training are equal and have the same progress? For ex, some one trains planche and frontlever. This guy progresses faster in planche but slow in front lever considering he does the same sets, time under tension, etc.

body is highly adaptable. but this ability is limited. if you were to only train for one specific skill or exercise you would progress like crazy. but if you throw 10 things, that ability will be divided by 10, aka slower progress in all 10.
