So occasionally there would a be a few things to keep in mind when you're doing a planche. The full planche especially, so that way you can train it right and get it with good form. Because generally speaking, those who just train straddle planches had to worry about form and hip position and things of the like, but if doing a full planche, that usually means you've mastered the straddle planche but maybe there are some set backs from keeping you from doing your full planche as good as you could be doing it.
When performing this one verses a straddle planche, pay attention to arm positioning and angle. This is incredibly taxing on your frontal deltoids. Your arms generally speaking for this one to work well need to be straight. Every muscle in your arms is under tension as well. So both sides, triceps to hold your arms back and biceps for support to keep your arms from hyper-extending. If your elbows bend too far back in the planche you need to train your biceps to contract a little more than you have been.
Your arms lean forward a lot further, so you should actually be closer to the ground in your full planche. Nothing like a maltese, but that same mindset. Street style as I've heard with your hands back is not a way to start learning full planches. Acquire fingertip status or side ways positioned palms.
Your back shouldn't be arched whatsoever. Because that either means you are doing a hanging planche, or you are in a extroverted handstand position as I like to call it, or just that noob planche that everybody does when starting out and coming down from their handstands.
Also there's a form concern I've been noticing in these. People will keep a straight back, or a slightly bent back. If you want it to be a full form full planche though, pay attention the picture and if you notice, in the perfect form, your hips should look bent in the back, but the front of your body is straight. I've been training that way and have seen dramatic improvement.
So keep in mind as you work and practice this move. Fingertips or hands sideways when learning, arms at a more dramatic angle so your hands sit further back, and work to keep the front part of your torso as straight as possible because that is the best form.
Training right is how you learn best. Good luck.
