Alternative Benefits from Planches... - 08-02-2008, 10:53 PM

Two weeks ago I started practicing the Handstand Press, and the Planche. I found that, in that short period of time, the quality of my swipe/flare progression greatly improved. I also started working on the L-Seat to Handstand Press and it seems to be helping as well.

I just figured I'd throw that out there to see if it helps anyone else who's struggling with either flares or swipes. Peace.

Word?

DO NOT RUN FROM WISDOM. RUN TOWARDS IT.

If I say a word and you don't know what it means, don't be too lazy to look it up. Don't be afraid to learn new words, don't be afraid to speak other languages, don't be afraid to learn about other cultures. Peace, God bless.

I agree that it's common sense... Which why I found it odd that no one ever mentioned it before lol...

Have you seen those Axe commercials? They're false advertising... The guy really just did a planche pushup right before the camera started rolling.

Seriously...
