Advanced Calisthenics Skills: Planche, Front Lever, and Back Lever

For those looking to push their limits, advanced calisthenics skills like the planche, front lever, and back lever offer a serious challenge.

Planche

The planche is an impressive skill that requires strength, balance, and control, where the body is held parallel to the ground, supported only by the hands.

  • How to Train: Start with planche leans and tuck planches to build strength and balance.

Front Lever

The front lever is a static hold where the body is held horizontal and parallel to the ground, supported by straight arms on a bar.

  • How to Train: Begin with tuck lever holds and gradually extend your legs as you gain strength.

Back Lever

The back lever involves hanging from a bar or rings and holding your body horizontal, facing downwards.

  • How to Train: Start with tuck back lever holds and slowly work towards straightening your body.

These skills require dedication and consistent practice but offer immense rewards in terms of strength and body control.
