Anyone know any exercises to build the right muscle to be able to do some of the stuff in this video?

I especially want to be able to do the pushups with no feet planted.. his palms aren't even planted on the ground!


Also, I got my carpenter friend to make me some parallets.. anyone know any good exercises with these?

I think rianu has made a tutorial for the planche pushups, there it is : http://trickstutorials.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3907&highlight=planche+pushups

Those are very short parallettes, usually they're longer. Yours are more like push-up handles actually. :ogre:

Check out:

www.american-gymnast.com (training tips section -- there's an actual parallette guide with beginner, medium, advanced progressions)
www.beastskills.com
www.drillsandskills.com
www.ringtraining.com

You'll be able to find some information on parallette exercises on all of them, though it may take some poking around.

Paralettes are the bomb. Make sure you check the www.american-gymnast.com (http://www.american-gymnast.com/) website. You'll have to register to access the paralette training guide, but it's free and I haven't got any spam yet... So go for it.
