I did this for years at 195 cm long so I guess if you train it that way you'll still get there. Just like strongman with their stupidly bad posture doing deadlift your body will adapt. Just really fucks up your body.
@@trulsrakvag no, you need to keep it neutral so you can use both chest and lats for ur Front Lever. It is the same when it comes to pull ups. The leg forward chin up will much easier than an archer back pull ups since ur chest will be activate in the chin up to make it easier
Love your explanations of how to do these exercises and how not to do them. I'm 58, but I'm going to try to do the non-shit form of these movements. Boom.
what's helped me the most is your attention to detail. I've been working on all of the moves consistently, front lever, planche, hspu etc... and i've made amazing progress.
Sky, the more I watch your stuff, the more I get impressed with your content. Thank you so much for the plain talk, great advice and your enthusiasm. I don't think anyone else truly sees through the clouds like you do.
One of the best tutorials, straight to the point, good content and clear and well explained progressions. Also would like to see an tutorial here about flags exercises. Keep on going, big fan here!
Can't stop loving your videos Dominic. I'm pretty sure I will get the full front lever and full planche this year 2020. Perfect explanation as always bro! Keep making this videos!
The coaching cues you are giving are great, an example would be the advice of keeping the arms completely locked out during the active arch hang due to the bicep taking to much load. But the explanation on the ATP/PPT and its connection to retraction is absolutely brilliant, I have read a lot on the FL and never heard of that. Instead, people give you the "squeeze the bar and retract", "try to rip the bar apart" etc. Those are useful tips, yes, but they aren't necessarily deal-breakers, whereas weak retraction not being worked in isolation with the correct method is a deal-breaker. Thanks for the well thought out and applied advice. Keep it up Tupac Jr!
Heyy Dominic, it would be best as well if you create a similar video like this but regarding Protraction which is for the Planche. Thanks man and looking forward to that!
Dominik uwielbiam Twoje filmy Ostatnio dokucza mi łokieć tenisisty. Ale mam nadzieję że dzięki Twoim radom i temu filmowi wreszcie zrobię pełnego front lever. Mam 46 lat i żałuję że tego sportu nie było wcześniej Pozdrawiam Sławomir
I never comment "You Tube" Videos. But, I just found your channel overnight and now it 5:33 am and i've been watching your latest Videos. And waiting for my gym to Open at 6am to begin some of the exercises from your tutorial . I do have some questions but Wanted to see if you respond before asking more. #1: I have a lower facet issue that keeps my lower back and hips very tight. exercising alone helps a lot by keeping my core strong however it is usually too tight to even dead lift. what can exercise can help with this? Also. I needed to tell you how inspiring and informative your videos are and I look forward to learning and sharing your inspiration and knowledge with others. #2: can you do a video on muscle-ups? which is lower pull up position to upper Straite bar dip position. in case the term is different outside of the USA. what exercises to do in order to be able to achieve muscle ups. and rep them? Thanks, Dylan P.
hi Dominik!! congratulations for your always very useful videos. Regarding the position of the scapula in the front lever, although a position in complete retraction is on average safer, that which covers a greater activation of the back, provides for a slight protraction of about 30 degrees (as the books of joint physiology report). What do you think about? THANKS
Thanks for this video. I felt like doing just front lever holds and dynamic movements seem to not be progressing that fast. Its been a month and a half and Im still only at the advanced tuck.
Great tutorial, although I would recommend showing those exercises with the shirt off so we can observe the correct muscle movement and body position closely
Can we get a video about rope climbing? Info about technique/prerequisites but also programming and how it can fit into a routine (i.e. how to count reps/sets for that type of exercise). Figured you'd be more likely to see this comment on this newer video rather than the new year's one where you were asking for this type of suggestion since that was 2 weeks ago.
... but keep in mind, if your hips are dropping during half lay / full holds, that doesn' t _necessarily_ mean you have a weak core, it still can be a "weak" back that ist not able to lever the torso up...
I think he is doing advanced tuck because of lack of flexibility. So those of us with low hamstring flexibility will have to start with advanced tuck. It's hard to keep a tuck and retraction with low flexibility
isn't it better to split the front lever workout and the two excersie that u mention for retraction in the same day but different hours? like morning and evening for example?
Currently I'm able to do swan pulls in half lay all the way up to inverted hang, but half lay front lever still feels very hard for 2-3 seconds, maybe lats are too weak
This and other YT channels demonstrate the FL with the palms facing forward. My gym does not have a horizontal bar or rings but has a multi station for a neutral grip, palms facing sideways. Does this matter?
@Fitness Hell Creatine Monohydrate is natural. The body itself can produce creatine, just in small amounts which are not effective for training. Every human who is not supplementing creatine suffers from creatine deficiency. So take your creatine and enjoy the grow.
I train calistenics and take creatine. Before iv trained 25 years of natural bodybuilding and creatine always made me about 10% stronger. Its one of the best supplements to take. Also very good for the brain long term. No need to be off. The was the old idea. New research show u can take it all year. 2-5gr per day.
@@luffebassen yes, y know effects sir,only i like different opinion about suplement because you gain weight and more weight, many exercices more dificult with +1.5-2kg , thank you
@Fitness Hell Sounds like some weird creatine you are drinking. Mine taste like nothing. But i mix it into my post workout protein shake. So i never notice anything. Just add some kind of flavor to the water then or dont breath when u drink it. That will block the taste. I can drink all kinds of nasty shit just from holding my breath.
@@Sashaworkoutesp But you also gain extra strength. So it evens out in the end and once you get better, you will need to add extra weight to you training anyways. So no big deal if you ask me. Too many benefits to ignore just because of extra weight.
Hello Dom, I have a sharp pain while doing elements with retraction. Pain location is on right rhomboid, i think. Before i was able to hold 10s+ FL and other stuff with retraction, now it hurts. Any idea to get rid of this pain? Anyone else experienced this? Thank you, great content by the way!
Tendon pain which will result in rhomboid tenditis. Are you by any chance performing close grip FL? Always film yourself from different angles to rewatch your form
@@seanvoncken230 No , I didn't try close grip front lever often. Yeah i think it's a tendonidis due to overtraining of front lever which result in overuse of rhomboids ...
@@albanianeliteathletes4840 yes ofcourse overtrainig causes alot of strain on the tendons as the muscles are fatigued. Also try to keep a straight body instead of tuck it might help. But I would definately rest for a week to lower inflammation. Edit: also ask for massages if possible
The second exercise simply looks like a negative tucked front lever with very clean retraction to me. Is there anything I am missing? And are you sure it's abs when hips are sacking? When I hold a full lever, I have terrible form and I doubt stronger abs would fix a thing because I can feel that my back is too weak for the full lever. My shoulder angle opens as soon as I increase the leverage by lenghtening my body at the hips :(
You can test if it is your abs by lying down on a bench holding to something stable with your arms and keeping your legs and glutes in the air. If you can keep your legs straight you have the necessary core strenght. In my case a can't at the moment
i can tell you drastically improved your english, thats why you talk so damn much :D constructive criticism: less talking, the video could have been 5 minutes long. Still love you tho
Ben Peled it takes time to develop scapula strength and knowing how to engage the muscles when doing the front lever. Spend some time doing rows with retraction and easier progressions until you can do advanced tuck with good form
retraction is a bitch...I'm prettyy tall (1.88m) and have the perfect straddle, but getting that extra retraction for the full front lever is sooo hard.
