Gravity Defying Strength Move Progression ⬆️
.
.
Most important step in my opinion is keeping your back protracted. I try to think of getting my top two spine bone to be the highest point in the move. Save this for your next skill day.

5 Step Straight Planche Progression 💪🏽⬆️

The hardcore lesson you need to learn is consistency above all else. Stay consistent and you’ll get what you want, not just a planche.

Step 1 is where the strength actually gets built, and it’s the one everybody skips. Spend three weeks on the parallette plank leaning as far forward as you can hold before you touch a tuck planche. Straight-arm strength doesn’t respond to rushing. Save this and start where you actually are. → What step are you on?

12+ years of gymnastics for 8 seconds of this body strength movement. You can’t fake a straight planche — Straight-arm strength took me years but I got the secret to it now. Progression and technique drops Wednesday.

Been getting a lot of questions bout life, gymnastics, etc. so here’s wassup ☕️

This past April 2026, I walked off the floor at NCAAs thinking it was the last time I’d ever salute a judge or compete with my team. It ended on terms I wasn’t fulfilled with but I was grateful for every opportunity and skill I learned along the way. I made my peace. I know I left my mark on the team, and the sport itself was never my main goal, just a significant piece to the big picture.

I shifted paths, started grinding at different pieces, and I absolutely loved the new lifestyle.

I explored Portugal and Canada with my boys. Took my woman to the Bahamas and then Hawaii to see my rootz 🌺 And then ended the travels off at Vegas for my best friends 21st. Shoutout my family, the Gonzales fam, and all the people that made these trips happen!

I then spent June and July interning at JPMorgan, revived an old passion for martial arts and began planting the rest of the seeds for my future goals. I put my head down, got to work and built out the systems that have been working for me. The result: blessed with the opportunity to work with JPMorgan in NYC next year🗽, relit an old passion for another sport 🥷🏿, and continued to focus on being a better human with my circle.

On paper it sounds amazing and unreal and it really is. I’ve enjoyed every single experience. But all this started with a vision, plan, system, and relentless hours of grind. Along this journey, things got taken from me I didn’t see coming. I’ve been tested over and over and the latest test has been balance. Balance with figuring out how to manage pursing my passions, relationships, money, career, health and self belief. And man I love this shit. And again I’m grateful and blessed for it all ❤️

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me through this life. Your support whether directly or indirectly has meant everything to me.
Mom and Dad, I love you. ❤️ Thank you for keeping it real, reminding me of my rootz, and always having my back.

As for my gymnastics career, well, I’ve still got a feeling that story isn’t quite finished yet. 👀

Stay tuned. Driven. Shootz 🤙🏽 by @jesselee_pakele
