    I was trying for a while but realised I was doing more of a handstand push up progression by lifting my back and legs too far up. What really improved my planche was the psuedo planche push up. Tuck planche for twenty seconds is good though, sounds like you could move onto the straddle planche soon.

    I just started on planche push ups last weekend and thought I could progress to wall assisted planches quickly. Gravity humbled me fast. So I'm starting from scratch with psuedo planche's.

    I have been doing psuedo planches and wall planches which I must say really have helped me improve. I tried doing planche progressions a few years ago without doing psuedo and wall planches, didn't get very far and just ended up injuring myself.

    The main issue I am having at the moment is being very unsteady at the begining of starting a tuck planche, usually takes me falling on my face a few times before I get it right and get decent form.

    Straddle position seems a mile away to be honest but if it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing.

    First time I tried wall planches I found it very difficult and I kind of had to cheat and use shitty form to even be able to do them. What I found really helpful was doing them with push up stands, which for some reason made it a lot easier to push up with decent form. I then after 3 weeks removed the push up stands and just did them without and I was pleasantly surprised to find I could now do them just as easily without the push up stands.

    The exercises you hate are 9 times out of ten the best.

    just go to a local gym, 90% of the losers there will never deadlift, full free weight squat, power clean ect........
