What a great interview! He really shared some good information for beginners and advanced athletes! Nice to see you got back to interviewing Daniel keep it up champ
subscribed - this was a REALLY awesome interview - thanks to both Daniel and Simon for doing this video - it taught me heaps :) I'm 187cm and 118kg here and 45yrs - been doing calisthenics 8 weeks - i should do some progression vids for the lulz. I did have one young lad at the gym who was busting out pull ups ask how i can do a hanging L-sit hold on the bar for 10-20 seconds hehe - that was pretty cool so i guess my progression is happening as 6 weeks ago i couldn't hold a hanging L-sit for more than 5 seconds
This is dope! I’m watching an incredible interview of Simon by the always awesome Ayderey Daniel and at 8:40 there’s a Simonster ad!!! Great interview, very interesting and informational. I’m not surprised that Simon is friends with Daniel Vladnil! Simon you rock brother! Daniel you’re the best!!!
What does Simon mean at 24:00, whet it comes to muscular size and strength, I know that a big muscle is a strong muscle but there are different kinds of strength, absolute and relative strength. When it comes to calisthenics and gymnastics we know that our relative strength is much important, when simon talks about the tendon insertion on how far the tendon is inserted to the bone or how long the muscle is compare to its tendon does he mean that if your tendon is shorter and your muscle belly is longer it can produce more force? how about if it is the opposite if my tendon is longer and my muscle belly is shorter does it mean I can't produce much force? I'm asking this because I want to know which is better when it comes to calisthenics and gymnastics short tendon with longer muscle belly or long tendon with shorter muscle belly does it affects your performance. Some said that the long tendon with the shorter muscle belly is much better because the longer the tendon can produce more force, example the sprinters with long achilles tendon with short muscle belly always dominates the Olympics they said long muscle belly is not important because it adds mass and weight making you heavier. So which is better and why please explain to me I'm confuse. Thank you! 😵🙏🙌
Training a skill for 6 or 8 weeks then dropping it to some low maintenance is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You won't make much progress on advanced skills in such little time and you will lose the little you did get by dropping it to once a week. You need consistency over long time to get anywhere at this game. The fact this guy has been injured so much casts great doubt on his training knowledge. Just another dinosaur with little or nothing of value to offer the community like Cali Movement or Gymanstics Method. Just another grifter in a sea of grifters.
Interesting points on technique and form, tho i must say that topic is a 2 sided issue somewhat sensitive to whomever its addressed to. For example yes there are some people that stress to much about form and need to hear that is ok to train without 100 percent perfect form but there are also people that do the opposite and completely disregard form in favour of doing a more difficult progression, these people would benefit from having a greater emphasis on form instead of rushing through progressions. A good rule i use for front lever and planche is that the body line must be straight and the arms must be straight, if u lose a bit of protraction or retraction every now and then its fine but once ur body line starts to break down the exercise has become to difficult.
