Planche vs Back Lever. Why is the planche is harder? 

Are you sure? Supinated grip will put a huge tension on the bicep tendon, and the risk of getting injured will increase

@@Sheriff.Movement That's why you have to build up to the back lever over months and years so that your bicep tendon can handle that kind of tension. Skin-the-Cats are a great way to build up to the B lever.

I was always told to train probated first, thank you for this! -random 15 y.o. on the internet

​@@RyabThatBaconGuy So true, you want to reinforce your biceps tendons but you cannot rush it. Its a great way to prepare yourself for maltese/cross work

The planche and back lever are shoulder flexor movement, the latissimus dorsi Is a shoulder extensor

Its called gymnastic forza but I recommend looking for diy since it's easy to build and very cheaper

The back lever with palms facing towards you( supination ) is more dangerous then pronation. Always do them with pronation ( palms away from you).

Yes, but if your biceps are strong enough, you can use it for bicep muscle growth

Depends how you define it. As you’re hanging below the bar, it’s technically a pull movement… but it uses the exact same muscles as the planche. For this reason, when I program back lever training, I include it on push day.

@@SimonsterStrength thank you very much for your quick reply in a video that's over 2 years. Quick question: So in the traditional vertical/horizontal push / pull 4 exercises, I currently have the pull up, row, hspu and dip. Which one would be a more direct replacement? Backlever for dip?
