It's hard to find exactly what I'm doing in video form because I'm essentially making up my own variations using a mix of principles between gymnastic/calisthenics and bodybuilding. Some calisthenics bros seem to be absolute purists who are fucking allergic to using machines or weights... or anything but bands. Here is what a pelican curl looks like on rings. I essentially just keep my body at angle with a staggered step and let the motion be from the cables rather than my bodyweight, but essentially doing the same thing... and I can safely drop set it. It's the same concept as lying bicep curls... just with cables.... consistent tension. Arms behind the body. Then for the straight arm I'm doing something close to what this guy is doing with a resistance band here. But I'm doing it with the cable. I lean forward for this one too and deeply protract my shoulder blades (down and forward), otherwise you're essentially doing some chest work. Instead it ends up being the co-contraction of the biceps/triceps to hold the arm straight as well as heavy serratus activation for stability. I'm not letting my arms drift back past my sides at the "bottom" of the movement. I usually do this as a follow up to a drop set of the previous. I'm going from in line with my body to about somewhere around maybe 70 degrees, not fully perpendicular. Hands supinated the whole time. I'm not going as far as the guy in the video because this is not warm-up weight or an activation drill through full RoM. I'm really trying to emulate much more of what a planche actually feels like and thinking of about where my relative center of gravity would be doing one... and I'm also using decent weight rather than a resistance band (though admittedly they have peak tension at the top). I just feel the load shifting if I move that close to 90. The tension stops being on the muscles I'm focusing on (moving into front delts in particular). I'm doing this on a high cable, like an overhead tricep style pulley. I'm using an attachement like this one. I also use these to get even more length on my attachment so that my arms can clear the front of my body without me running out of room and the attachment hitting my back. And yes, I'm that guy who packs way too much of my own shit for the gym. I might try to film myself doing a few the next time I'm in the gym.
