At a glance: Planche practice uses easier progressions before more demanding holds. These drills focus on building a route toward the skill instead of repeatedly attempting a variation beyond your current capacity.
The best exercise to learn an advanced skill such as a planche is by learning the easier progressions. But you can’t efficiently learn the skill by just attempting the planche over and over again.
You first need to strengthen the key areas and address any weak links through accessory exercises. Choose exercises and progressions that match your current capacity. Progress and training risk vary between individuals.
