The Lean Planche is a challenging calisthenics exercise that targets the shoulders, chest, core, and triceps. It requires a high level of strength and control to perform properly.
How to perform
Step-by-step instructions for the Lean Planche exercise:1. Start by positioning yourself in a push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
2. Slowly shift your weight forward onto your hands and raise your feet off the ground, keeping your body in a straight line.
3. Lean your body forward as much as possible, pushing your shoulders forward and keeping your arms straight.
4. Hold this position for as long as you can, aiming to keep your body in a straight line at all times.
5. Lower yourself back down to the starting position and rest before attempting another rep.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions or hold for a specific amount of time.
It is important to start slowly and gradually increase the difficulty of the exercise as you build strength and control. It is also important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury.
