    Lean Planche

    The lean planche is a challenging bodyweight exercise that targets the abdominal muscles while also engaging the shoulders, chest, and tricep. It requires significant core strength, balance, and upper body control as you lean your body forward in a plank-like position, shifting your weight past your hands.
