planche can you do it

Ok im sure we have all heard about this pushup, obviously it orginates in gymnatics and breakdancing and to do it there is a great deal of strength needed, mainly upperbody in the pactorials and and very strong core for the lower body stability...

well atleast if you want to do them like this guy

...Can you do it?

actually yea. Its hard and i can only hold it for a few sec and its sloppy, but im still tryen to perfect it. You need a really increadebly strong core and i think im almost there. I give it about 5 months or so.

You don't have to be a guy to do this.

We used to have to do this move during beam work. I'll admit to showing off on the rings, as well.

Yoga can also help you develop the strength and control you need for this move.

Amazing thing to see!

- I am strong as I weight lift. However, trying this at my age and weight would make body parts fall off, or at least break into little pieces.

Yeah, I lift weights and I tried this earlier. I managed to do it but I soon fell down lol

It's damn hard work.

yea, to think that this is just a small portion of what olympic gymnastics can do. I hope one day to get into gymnastics becasuse i have serouse respect for their strength. the are the strongest pound for pound people on the planet.
