Gold Medal Bodies – Parallettes Two
GMB Parallettes Two: Hand Balance Transitional Strength
The P2 training helped me to gain strength in my arms and shoulders (those were clearly my weak points), and also in my wrists. This is applicable in every day life, for carrying stuff, but also playing around. P2 also helped me a lot in my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu game — I am a lot more confident in carrying my weight on my hands for all kinds of ground movements.
GMB Parallettes Two
P2 is an intermediate-level strength program for developing straight-arm strength and increasing control in inverted positions.
Stronger Handstands & Inverted Presses
Elbow Conditioning for Planche Work
Intense Shoulder & Torso Strength Development
Combinations & Flow Between Positions
Pre-Requisites:
P2 requires a good deal of pressing strength. You should be able to hold an L-sit for 20s and perform a handstand.
Program Goals:
After training with P2, your entire torso will be stronger than ever, and you’ll be well on your way to getting a planche.
Is P2 The Right Program For You?
Additional Options to Consider:
If you don’t meet the pre-requisites for strength, spend some time building your foundation with Parallettes One
Parallettes Two is the Gateway to High-Level Hand Balancing
There’s a lot of goals you might have that could have brought you to this page, but the biggest one we hear from our clients considering P2 is, without a doubt, the planche.
Despite the dozens of planche tutorials on YouTube, why does it still seem like so few people ever get it?
Besides the obvious (it’s incredibly difficult), you need to understand that the planche is just one example of a kind of skill that requires more than just strength and practice. You have to build specific joint and tendon strength to handle the stress this training puts on your body.
And if you try to learn it without building that up systematically, the best thing that can happen is frustration .
The worst: injury.
But you don’t need to end up with either one.
P2 is precisely the step-by-step program you need to strengthen and condition your body for the stresses of planche and advanced hand balance training. (Here’s an example.)
How GMB Programs Work
Our coaches have worked with thousands of recreational and pro athletes, and our clients span all ages and backgrounds, so our programs are accessible to a variety of needs.
Systematic Skill Progression
There are several schools of thought when it comes to planche progressions and higher-level handbalancing. P2 provides incremental steps in skill and joint conditioning that make it more accessible to non-gymnasts.
Full-Body Training
If you’ve worked with P-bars before, you know that L-sit and planche variations work the entire body – even the legs. P2 is designed to build strength and control throughout your body, even without “leg exercises.”
Completely Adaptable to Your Needs
We won’t lie: P2 is intense, and you might want to scale it back a bit to work on other goals. That’s fine. If you’ve got time to slow things down, the manual describes how the program can adjust to your needs and plans.
A Program that Grows with You
Unlike some programs that give you a single workout to repeat forever, GMB recognizes that you’ll require different strategies as your strength and skills develop. That’s why Parallettes Two includes four program phases, each building on the previous one to keep you making consistent progress.
1. Attribute Development
The skills we’re aiming at require not just strength, but specific joint preparation to prevent tendon injuries. Phase 1 lays the foundation for the intense work to follow.
3. Flow Acquisition
With the basic movements in place, you’ll practice mini-routines that increase the intensity by stringing more moves together with less rest.
2. Skill Development
As you continue to strengthen your body, you’ll also work on transitioning smoothly and fluidly between the movements to build combinations and more complex skills.
4. Flow “Mastery”
Finally, you’ll put all your new strength and skills to good use in performing the complete flow routine, by which you’ll refine and polish your abilities.
Impressive Movements Made Accessible
Here’s what a few of our clients say about Parallettes Two:
The P2 training made me a better mover, it brought new fun and new challenges to my training. I’m a pretty experienced crossfitter and these P2 progressions add a whole new dimension. Technique, proper form, alignment, etc.
Where normal workouts are just about moving weights, these progressions are about learning new skills. And it’s such a great feeling every time you notice that you can progress to the next step.
P2 has been a great adventure of strength so far! I am into week 3 of the Prep Phase and I already feel like I’ve gotten more core work in two weeks than I’ve gotten in the past two years!

So far P2 has helped me progress in my planche further than I ever have before. I’m only at the tuck but I am starting to be able to flatten my back briefly. It has also tremendously improved my handstands and perfected my form on the L Sit, V Sit, and Straddle Holds. Bryan Olson, Florida
