Instructions

1. Hang a rubber assist band from a height at least 5-6 feet (~2 meters) off the ground. A band weight of 10-25lbs should suffice.
2. Position parallettes in front of the band so that you can get into a full planche position and your ankles will be directly underneath the band.
3. Place your ankles inside the band loop
4. Grasp the parallettes, which should be positioned about 2 inches wider than your shoulder width on the ground
5. Straighten your arms and get into a plank position
6. Hollow your body and tighten your core, shoulder, and arm muscles
7. Rotate the pits of your arms forward
8. Simultaneously pull your feet off the ground and lean forward, getting into a full planche position. At first your feet may only leave the ground a couple of inches, as you practice attempt to raise your feet to the level of your shoulders
9. Lock out the position for the instructed amount of time
10. Lower your feet to the ground safely to end your set.
