Instructions

1. Start from an L sit on parallettes
2. Bring your legs into a tuck and bend your arms and body forward into a bent arm tuck planche
3. With control, kick your legs out into a straddle, you should now be in a bent arm straddle planche position
   1. Hold the bent arm straddle planche for the instructed amount of time
4. Bring your legs back into a tuck
5. Push back up into an L sit
6. This is one rep, repeat from Step 1 for the instructed number of reps.

Key Points:

• If you can, try to make the transition from L sit to the bent arm straddle planche in a smooth, continuous motion
• Focus on keeping your elbows separated from your sides.
• Focus on keeping your upper arms parallel to the ground during the bent arm straddle planche
• At first you may have a slight bent in your body when in the bent arm planche position, this is okay. Continue to practice and get your body parallel to the ground as you gain strength.
