I started in my 40s — older than almost everyone attempting this — and held a full planche thirteen months later without a single injury. This is that system, written out in full — now yours.

Four layers, each doing one job. It's the structure that keeps the load climbing without your elbows paying for it.
Phase — the position you're training. Five of them, and you don't move up on a date. You move up when you meet the criteria, filmed.
Cycle — three per phase. Volume builds the tissue, intensity teaches the position, peak tests it. Same exercises, different job each time.
Week — four training days, spaced so no two heavy days stack. 15-minute warm-up, then roughly an hour of work.
Deload — an easy week at the end of every phase. Tendons adapt slower than muscle, and this is where they catch up. It isn't optional.
Every phase runs through all three, in order.
More sets, shorter holds. Building the tissue that carries the position.
Fewer sets, harder holds. Less band, longer time under load.
Sharp and light. Testing the position you've been building toward.
Each one a position you earn before the next opens.
The programme tells you what to do. The app is how you actually do it — session by session, without a spreadsheet or a notes file full of half-remembered numbers.
Today's session, ready to go. Every set, rest and band load in front of you while you're on the parallettes.
Log holds and reps as you go. Your position in the plan is always saved — phase, cycle, week, day.
Watch the numbers move. Longest hold, lowest band, most reps — and the criteria standing between you and the next phase.
