Perfect Tuck Planche Technique

The tuck planche is a powerful display of core strength, balance, and body control. Whether you're training for handstands, planches, or just looking to level up your calisthenics game, ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every attempt builds toward mastery.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Starting Position: Begin in a frog stand with knees on elbows, then transition to knees tucked to chest
  2. Hand Placement: Place hands shoulder-width apart, fingers spread for stability
  3. Body Position: Lean forward, round your back, and pull knees tightly to chest
  4. Hold: Lock elbows, engage core, and maintain balance while feet stay off ground

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Placing knees too wide instead of tucked close to chest
  • Insufficient forward lean - shoulders must be over hands
  • Sagging hips instead of maintaining hollow body position
  • Bent elbows instead of locked arms throughout hold
  • Rushing progression without building proper strength base
