They have big arms relative to people of the same height who do not train gymnastics.

@@SimonsterStrength You mean dwarfs? Listen, There are literally hundreds of thousands of amateur bodybuilders that are completely jacked.. yet there are only maybe five PRO gymnasts that are jacked and their pictures and video clips are used in every single calisthenics and rings video on KZbin. It's utter bullcrap that using rings is going to get you jacked.. toned up, stronger and fitter maybe. Jacked? Absolutely not. Unless you are an adult with the skeleton of a little boy.

@@SimonsterStrength What utter rubbish. Listen, There are literally hundreds of thousands of amateur bodybuilders that are completely jacked.. yet there are only maybe only five gymnasts that are jacked and their pictures and video clips are used in every single calisthenics and rings video on KZbin. Using rings will get you toned stronger and fitter but will they get you jacked? Absolutely not. You may get a bit more muscular if you're an adult with the skeletal frame of a little boy. I can even see looking at your body that you have a very small skeletal frame for an adult male which is why you appear muscular.

Inverted suggests your upside down. I think it’s a bad way to describe the exercise shown but many use the terms interchangeably.

How stable is it though with blocks under?

I didn’t forget to mention it. I didn’t mention it because it’s not true. Lifting weights puts stress on your knees but applying this stress to your body is literally how you get stronger. It does not damage your knee health! If you’re going to make such a claim, provide some evidence to support it.

@@SimonsterStrength never ever have I seen top lifters squat with caved knees. Please show me 1 example of a top athlete squatting like that. I’m talking about over 5-600 pound squats, not gym lifts and lightweight category lifters

@@Boti98HUN perhaps the world record by Amanda Lawrence shown in the video you’re commenting on… or many Olympic champion Chinese lifters.

@@SimonsterStrength all these instances are still within an acceptable range. Their knees still close a vertical line. My original point was about extreme knee cavings where one’s knees look like an X. How is that a healthy stance??

@@Boti98HUN I think Amanda’s is pretty significant and that’s about as extreme as I’ve seen during very heavy squats. I understand the visceral feeling that it’s bad or wrong or inefficient, but the data says otherwise. The fact that knee valgus is common during world record lifts suggests this is the strongest pattern for many people. I have no doubt Amanda could avoid knee valgus with lighter loads. If you’re going to make the claim that it’s dangerous at a certain level, you should be able to explain when and why. Many make the same claim about knees going forward over the toes, but I think you’d agree that knees over toes is fine? If knee valgus is bad during squats, at what point does it become bad rather than helpful? Is it fine to do with your bodyweight? What about a broomstick? At what load and degree of valgus does it become wrong and why? I’m confident that the body can adapt to pretty extreme postures and loads. If someone feels strongest and safe with extreme valgus, has the control the avoid it with lighter loads, and progresses gradually over time, I see no reason why they couldn’t squat 600+lbs with this posture safely.
