Excellent advice on training through the planche progression and the front lever progression in gymnastics. I am much further behind in both progressions, but this advice will be no doubt be useful to me at some point. In the former, I still working on the frog stand
In the latter, I'm still working on body rows, which help develop strength for the front lever.
Today, I started doing body rows with my feet elevated on a step stool. Somewhere in the progression would be the tuck lever
