Lord Of The Still Rings - Yuri Van Gelder 

I can do that. And better. I don't compete in sports cuz I'd win em all. 135 mph fastballs too. I once bullseyed twice with a single dart.

@@jamesparker223 You cant fucking do this man, hes doing all these moves consecutively without breaks. The amount of strength and endurance that it takes is a lot and talk is cheap

Yeah rings are super humbling. Looks easy until you get on them.

bro you said exactly what my thoughts were. I am a gymnast and I just got my iron cross but it looks so easy when I see a video of myself. Even as a gymnast, I don't even know the insane strength required to do his routine.

I just did static holds today for first time on some rings I bought, and yes they were humbling lol. I thought since I could do dips with 100 lbs on me I could easily just hold myself up but I was shaking for a while lol. I did 10 sets for 20 seconds each. It did get a little easier after a couple sets. Than last one I just held as long as I could. Then I switched up and did 100 pushups on them. Which took me forever lol. I did slow reps of 10 trying to control the shaking. These are so badass and glad I have another challenge to take on.

Lol. I used to do front levers and hold for 10 secs then the next guy would try and I'd see them looking like they were trying to poop while hanging there. Was quite entertaining.

Maybe 10k harder for doing the transition each movement

Exactly 💯

His stabiliser muscles are amazing. I cant even hold a regular support hold without arms shaking a few seconds in

Exactly, iconic

I think van gelder is one of the most beautiful elements

@@fabiorodrigues3x wich move is the van gelder?

@@Bartje2002 00:50 maltese to back lever to planche

@@futurecorpse399 I love that one, seems kinda easy move, since I can't planch,malthese and backlever😂😥

I was thinking the same)))he has iron rotator cuff

Strong shoulders with lats

Yuri "winstrol" van gelder

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That's exactly what i was feeling.

After many years of straight arn work and tendon strengthening hes used to it

A lot of people miss the point too- this isn't just about strength. Many of these movements rely on momentum, so one needs to be very precise with their movements. It's equal parts strength and control. Any complex movements on the rings are like flying in a jet through a canyon, but your body is the jet.

​@@FlakiCiociGosioye, pero para hacer esto a la perfección, necesitas 10 años de calistenia.

If only he wouln't look like child...

​@@elgoogssie3969some of these moves take over 10 years of training just for 1move let alone a whole routine 1 after another

This man is more jacked and square than you could ever be in any lifetime.

Same!haha

At least your realized There’s a lot of people who refuse to give up the things they learned at home or from their friends. Bad things, specifically. Narrow mindedness

a football player can never in their wildest dreams reach that level of strenght and control and plus he has been training since a child like the other good gymnasts

Football players are strong...just not the same type of strength

@@landontucker5436 Yeah they are strong. Just the kind of strength that takes 0.00001% training compared to this one lol. This is real functional strength. getting huge muscles does not make you strong.

Like his resting position?

@@tuyenmey7433 oh i meant like, inbetween the ""real"" tricks(? not sure what theyre really called) he is just chilling in an iron cross, without breaking a sweat

its not his resting position, that shit is hard as fuck. believe me he is not resting. the only rest is after he is done

@@moritzr466 He actually rests in one spot, see the position at 2:53. I'm a mere mortal, but I can hold that position for at least 15 seconds or so. That's not a criticism of him--that's literally the only position in his routine that I can hold.

There’s a special trick. Called false grip. Once u understand this and do a lot of these strength moves u gradually understand that cross is easier than others cause u don’t need to tighten you core as much as others. This is why code of points indicate cross is easier than Maltese or planche. Cross it self is B while straight planche C and Maltese is D. I think all of these strength skill is going to be devalued in 2020 olympics. We’re hearing Maltese will be only worth C and straight planche a B. Well see.

Trust me this takes YEARS not 1 or 2 but more of hard work and consistency and most important a good diet. He is doing the more advanced form of planche which is called Maltese planche.

Try to do it and find out.

@@chronotrigger9040 It's not about what I can do smart ass, I'm not a professional gymnast, it's about what others of similar profession can do and after how much work.

@@chronotrigger9040 To be honest, chances are that none of us will ever be able to do any of these moves unless you're willing to sacrifice most of your life to eventually just be able to do that. It's so incredibly hard to do that it's just not worth it to try unless you started doing gymnastics at a _very_ very young age.

@@Pierrot110194 and also, there's genetics that come in here even if all of us could train like he did, we most likely would not get the same results. IF, we could train like him that is. I have so much respect for Olympians, they are the cream of the athletic crop.

Definitely not the peak of human potential but more a niche area of strength but still impressive

@@santoscarrillo2996 After thinking about it as its obviously a strong statement....Peak of human potential. But there aint many other sports that need this kind of strength, flexibility, mobility and balance. Olympic Weightlifter have quite alot of these traits in them...But other sport athletes may be fit, but they arent mobile or flexbile and strong like these guys.

@@santoscarrillo2996 Gymnastics is more than just rings, you know?

@@santoscarrillo2996very near to the peak of human potential in terms of functional muscularity…..Same is the case with olympic weightlifting….Explosive force, non explosive movement, stamina intensive actions, these guys can do it all

Right! But that's actually a maltese .

@@aryanrudra24 he did a planche in every routine shown in the video

@@aryanrudra24 Maltese is way harder

@@harelavv8806 he does both.

But Maltese is rated D when the all gymnastic rings hardest exercises are rated from A to F :'(

Amen 🙏

It's not just strength. It's also one's weight. He is fairly short, very lean and super-muscular. Or is a combination of all those things.

@SpiritWolf2K where did you see me downplaying? I said there are multiple components. He has genetics (small size), but he also has to work on keeping his weight down in addition to ridiculous strength.

Really? You don't say.

Such a pretentious gatekeeper comment. It doesn't 'elude' most people, get off your pedestal, oh is it only your TRaInED eYeS that can see the strength required?! Wow enlighten us. It's pretty fucking obvious how much strength it takes, which is why this video has so many views. Most people aren't as stupid as you want them to be.

@@User36282 It doesn't look tooooo hard, until you try it yourself.

He trained around 30000 hours... now calculate

@Weeb Account no every professional athlete trains around 10000h to become elite class, but it was said that Yuri trained around triple that amound...

@Weeb Account if he trains intense for about 4h a day(without stretching/warm up ....) he has to train for 20 years to reach 30000h

@@maxcalix9195 that's insane.

Yea like yuri chechi

He was named Yuri in honour of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first human being to orbit our planet

Or a scientist that blows up a nuclear power plant on accident.

Leuk je reactie te zien Freek. Wanneer ben je weer op de TV?

🤣

The fact that he remains calm amazes you? What else is he supposed to do? Panic and start treading air with his legs or shaking his head back and forth and damn near hyper ventilating like the ultimate warrior? Or Simone Biles?

GIMP!!!!!!!!

@@seanefc4559 wtf is with you commenting GIMP under everyone like chill

He probably makes sure his wife can open all the jars on her own xD

It doesn't open itself out of respect, it opens itself because it's worried the torque he would apply could shatter the glass itself

looks weird. prosthetic legs?

A lot of "point your toes"

I believe he had a floor routine to, those legs need to jump pretty high

@The Ecocentrist Misanthropic Vegan I wonder why he would develop calves/legs for this. It's mostly upper body and core needed for this if I'm not wrong.

@The Ecocentrist Misanthropic VeganYuri was focusing 100% on the still rings at this time. These Lags are just shredded because hes whole body works together as a perfectly balanced system. and its normally that all your muscles pop out if you have such low bodyfat like he does. An other thing why this looks so weird, is because hes legs are extremly flexible as gymnast, and in this move they are so straight, that theres no chance anymore to see a bent at hes knees.

Well done to you. I can do 15 pull ups.with my feet still on the ground.

Jam Isaq LOL! I can probably do 14 with my feet on the ground

Wait you guys can do pull-ups D:

Filip Niedbala lol! The five pull-ups I do (on a good day) is really not worth the amount of time and effort I’ve put in. It’s been a humbling experience!

Nice comment section😂😂

What happened to gelder? He wasn't in the last 2 Olympics. Is he going to be in the Olympics this year?

@@riggel8804 Last time I heard he was disqualified in Rio. However I do think he will participate in the next olympics. Or I hope so. All the luck to him!

Thanks for the technical talk. New to rings.

@@riggel8804 I think he developed a bit of a cocaine habit. His father was recently convicted for illegally growing weed as well, cool people it seems He lives like 10 KM away from me.

As long as you don't do cocaine you're good.
