Full-body tension isn't just a performance cue — it's a safety mechanism. A tense body is harder to injure than a loose one under load.

The tuck planche on parallettes with a 5-second hold, 10-second rest, for 10 rounds is the most effective planche conditioning protocol I've tried.

Tried this today and it actually works!

As a QA engineer, I can add some context here

Planche training requires such consistent dedication that most people quit before they see results. The first 3 months feel like nothing is happening.
