I'm not quite there yet, but here are some of the exercises I'm doing to become better at the human flag. I did three sets of each exercise on each side. Enjoy!
I started human flag training and had the same problem, you're not alone. But I've now got it right :) Just keep your shoulders fully extended and open, the balance/movement is in your grip or wrist, when you start moving unexpectedly just grip harder with the opposing fingers (i mean grip hard with your pinkys and next finger to pull yourself back in). all in the grip, well atleast for stall bars and horizontal bars :)
@jonjagp You should definitely not be phasing out weights. As geoffcraft said... they are incredibly useful for Olympic/Power lifting... however, you need proper training... go to your local hardcore gym... a real one, not a crappy mega fitness/ymca one. I recommend Crossfit gyms or gym strictly for Olympic lifting or power lifting. These lifts will make you a lot stronger. good luck.
awsome vid! just wondering if you use weights at all? im trying to slowly phase out weights and just do body weight exercises, think i may keep weights just for shoulders and squats but everything else i think would be doable without
you make it look easy, but these exercises are heavier than human flag itself. at least for me. i don't know what am i doing wrong but i roll in shoulders back and forward so i flip from the position. any tips please!
So happy that you've come back to youtube and are making more videos! You were gone for a long time! I was so surprised to see you in my subscription feed.
I could use some help here if you don't mind: I can hold a human flag, although the form is not perfect (i'm slightly below the horizontal plane) but I can't seem to go all the way to the top with my feet like you do in the video, not even in the easiest variations of it, what could i do? :O
