Total beginner? I am as well. Start of by doing push ups, where your nose touches the floor. Aim to get to a 100 a day. You can stop in between and then start again.
Just doing it once a day, within 2 weeks time I can do about 70.

I need a pull up bar, those are really good.

Also do a headstand for 2 minutes. Then build up to a handstand, but that's just me, others skip stages and go straight to handstands.

Yeah that requires loads of core strength and back strength, do as many push ups as you can everyday and it will become easier with time :smile:
Where is everyone at? I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this, disappointing :rolleyes:

not a huge amount, looking for classes/gyms near me but not much i can see

in the morning plank for 90 secs, 20 push ups, 10 pull ups and do that twice

use that for a warm in the gym aswell, but with dips too
calisthenics is the real mvp. download an app called madbarz fan app. it has loads of workouts to that you can do. in terms of human flags and front levers and stuff, i recommend this video.

lazar novovic
barstarzz
baristiworkout
blockworkout
madbarz

Ah but the brilliance of calisthenics is that you don't need a gym! :redface:

Nice routine, is the plank the only core exercise you do? If so that's impressive for those abs :curious:

Oh I have a six pack but thanks for the advice, I'm just don't think doing the plank alone would give you those kind of abs :redface:
I use both calisthenics and some weights in my back garden to train, off to uni soon and will rely only on calisthenics :smile:

I wouldn't say wrist flexibility is a massive part of the planche? Although it depends on what you consider flexible. Normally 90 degrees is enough to pull off the move although more is always better I guess.

Same! I'm trying to do all these awesome moves on my gap year before uni aha, what are you doing to train for a planche? :holmes:

Yeah flexibility is not a strength for me :tongue: I incorporate bodyweight exercises into my regime such as 100 planche push ups after my 'push' workout, along with wall walkouts and the like :smile: wbu?

Ah I see, you can do 100 planche push ups! :eek: That's impressive, I've actually started doing planche push ups as well aha.

I also do like 20 second holds of legs of the ground and arms locked out on the ground and balance there.

Just started training for a handstand as well which is going pretty well
