Risk of injury ? Bodyweight conditioning by Planche Progressions

[Capt.Jakoby]

Hello everybody,
I'm new to this board and my english isn't that good... however

I got a question concerning bodyweight conditioning through planche exercises and other strength poses discribed in this article:

http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/229/

I did read Jujimufu's flexibility article. There seems to be a risk in progression of static active stretching.

[WARNING] Regarding holding leg extensions, you need a strong lower back or you risk injury. As a weight test of lower back strength, you should be capable of comfortably deadlifting at least twice your body weight, no grit or problems; Otherwise, you risk possible injury or dismal progression. Moreover, static active stretches that involve muscles of the back squeeze intervertebral discs and may increase lordosis of the spine. This compression becomes more harmful when the spine is bent, or bent and twisted (such as on leg extensions to the side). In between static active stretching exercises for the lower body, do stretches such as forward bends and pelvic tilts to minimize harm, relieve spasms, and increase the amount of space between the vertbrae.

I wonder if this is also the point, regarding static holds, like the planche progressions, cause that seems to me very similar...

I hope...i am wrong.

there is always a risk, but that is why there is an oulined method for progression. Follow the techniques and don't rush ahead to something you aren't ready for, you should be fine.

Thx, for your fast reply complex.
It sounds logical to me , i'll keep on with the progression.

Now that you mention it... haha. I always used to like that article, but now I'll never look at it the same way again.

There were young boys running around with no shirts on at the gym I go to

the male gymnasts in most gymnastics facilities don't wear shirts when they work out...

Back when I did gymnastics, we all wore shirts, but I guess everywhere is different, eh?
