Secret Progressions: Leverage
One of the biggest breakthroughs most athletes miss is how much leverage changes a skill.
Almost every advanced movement involves your legs comes down to controlling leverage.
Planche, human flag, hollow body, front lever, back lever, etc...
Think about it this way: when you’re doing a push-up, you’re pressing around 70% of your bodyweight.
Move your shoulder forward to move into a planche lean, and suddenly you’re shifting more weight forward, massively increasing the load on your shoulders and core.
That’s why progressions exist: tucked, advanced tuck, one leg, straddle, full.
Each one shortens or lengthens the lever, giving you a way to control the load without needing weights.
Sometimes progress is obvious (you unlock straddle).
Other times it’s subtle, one inch or centimeter at a time in your lean or your leg extension.
This is why patience matters. You can be “strong enough” for a skill, but if your body isn’t adapted to that exact lever change, you’ll slip out.
That’s physics.
