1. Planche and pain in the shoulders

Do you feel the pain in your shoulders when you're doing a planche? I know that feeling, and I've also suffered from it when I'm learning this element, and there's also pain in my wrists and I didn't know what's worse, and it's quite common in our case, because most of the time in the first workout, we want to do everything at once, and we don't rationalise the burdens on our bodies like they do in gymnastics, where they gradually approach the elements, strengthening the deep muscles, working with mobility over the joints.

2. What about the joints?

As I mentioned, I also experienced pain in the shoulders and wrists, and I started to analyze what it could be causing, and it was very obvious, that all the weight of the body when you're doing the planche is just on the shoulder and the wrist, and the normal thing is that if you aren't properly prepared for the hard workout, the muscle attachments suffer.

3. Training

I had to change my approach to training a little bit -- I stopped doing so many, so many hard workouts -- I mean, I was doing two or three exercises a week on the board, and the rest of the days I was just doing the basics normally -- when I felt I had more strength, I could increase the number of workout sessions a week under the board and the amount of repetitions in the series -- and then I decided to work on the painful sections.

4. The iron rules

Before every workout, I started paying attention to the exact warm-up of my wrists. I did all kinds of stretching, exercising, using warm-ups before and after training. I started eating more gelatin products. I also focused on my shoulders. I began doing a lot of exercises that improved the mobility of my elbow rings.
