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

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.
