One Handed Planche Tutorial

As of being a person to watch street workouts and Asian's break dancing from time to time as well as I've subscribed to some incredibly abstract channels on youtube, I've seen this form of exercise successfully mastered by only five people. Three of them didn't have a leg condition. So yes, there are extra terrestrial life forms on this planet. Myself being from Jupiter, I will teach you how to convert to the ways of the others by knowing how to do the one armed planche as I do.
So first off, you can't come from earth. Just doesn't work. Second, you have to be pretty confident in your planches.
   I can't stress being confident in your planches. Get a bit of a shoulder warm up done as well. You really ought to make those muscles a bit warm because this move is massively taxing on whichever is your fully dominant arm.
   To begin, you need to have a good understanding of your planches. You need to learn the full planche, every variation of the finger tip planche, your one handed handstands must exceed normality, you have to learn flag freezes and get those down, you cannot go on and do this without being able to do planche push ups, you have to be able to planche with fully straight elbows for more than ten seconds, and the word planche must be your free time expression. Let me demonstrate, "What's up man!" "Oh, not much, how about you?" "Just hanging out at the house, doing planche push ups and planches."
   You want to be cool and do on armed planches? Do you want to be superhuman? Well here's how you do it after you've earned your confidence, your planche badge, and the motivation to do this.
   We'll start from the one handed handstand. Hold your balance arm out, lean to the side like you're doing a flag freeze, once you're in the flag position, you have to hold your body to the side of your dominant arm for the sake of your balance, but it gets hard here. You have to bend your elbow, crazy I know, it's superhuman, but you have to bend your elbow in the one handed balance position, lean more on to the heal of your hand, pivot your hips, and flatten your butt out. Hold your body straight as possible, it can be at a bit of an angle.
   When you come in from the flag position, your dominant foot should be considerably close to the ground, but when you pivot your hips, it should lift up and become parallel with the ground. 
   Your hand positioning in this should be to your comfort, try it out in different ways. When you feel the need to attempt in different ways, such as coming off of the ground, hold your body straight, bend towards your dominant side, and lean up onto your hand. Good luck

  1. that is a good advice about one arm planche but if someone wants to learn this first they need to learn how to do a planche because that's going to build the basic strength for planche before doing a one arm planche.
