When I tried the tuck planche at first on parralletes my hips immediately sunk down to where my back is like at 45 degrees to the floor. I have continued to work on it and feel like my hips have come up a few inches. What is the best way to proceed? Should I keep grinding away as my hips rise slowly over time? Is it ok to do 10 second holds of tuck planche where everything is right except hip height or is it a bad idea to hold it with bad form.
I heard about lowering down from a handstand but I have absolutely no stopping power coming down.
I also noticed that as my flexibility improves my tuck is tighter which makes it a little easier.
Similarly, I feel like as you practice the static holds your core is able to contract tighter which gives a little more lift.
The main thing I wonder about though is whether it is right to grind away at tuck planche holds when the hips are too low striving to raise them higher each day by improving the tuck, core contraction, lean etc. It seems like there is a path to a tuck planche with correct hips in this manner but any advice would be appreciated if you think there is a different/better route.
By the way, I have lifted weights for years and by merely adding tuck planche, tuck front/back lever, and l-sit to my workouts my appearance has changed dramatically.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
