Technique

How to perform Tuck Planche

  1. Place your hands about shoulder width apart on the floor and straighten your arms.
  2. Push the floor away to keep the shoulder blades supported and spread across your back.
  3. Lean your shoulders forward past your wrists while keeping your elbows straight.
  4. Draw your knees close to your chest and lift both feet, keeping the knees unsupported rather than resting them on your arms.
  5. Hold the compact tuck without opening the hips into an advanced-tuck position.
  6. Lower your feet to the floor under control when you finish.
