Hehe yep best intros. I might need some new ones soon, bridges etc!

Thank rev. I'm planning to get some new t-shirts soon, they're getting too small! 😮

Why use the ground when there is air? 😉😊

Awesome would like to see that! I've done shoes but prefer the t-shirt too. I was going to do the polo neck buttons up but realised they're difficult even on the floor with two hands 😅 I surprised myself with 12 but I got 10 last time and was determined to beat myself!

I generally do about five minutes, but I do also usually warm up throughout the day before I do the afternoon session, movement here and there and stretching etc, so before the main workout I can just make sure I'm feeling ok to try the moves, then the moves themselves are quite therapeutic, back bridges are meant to be good for the spine, cartwheels are a good side stretch, low resting squats, it's quite restorative compared to burpees really I'd have to say. I did two sprints at the weekend and temporarily pulled an inner leg muscle, limped back to the car, but it was fine the next day. That was without a warmup, just messing around, but showed me it's a bit risky to try and run fast cold

It's surprisingly not tough the way I'm currently doing it, which is to say not very well. To control it better I'm going to have to get more consistent with the balance and elbow placement. It should ideally be smooth and controlled, and I'm currently jerky and can't control it, but it's early days! It's going better than hoped so far

@@HybridGym Practice practice...

Engimatic BoC!

Haha yes they did offer me a job... Washing the coffee mugs 😮😅

@HybridGym washing AND juggling the mugs.

Around 8c but in that small patch of sun, seems like summer! It's awesome with the orange leaves and light blue sky, really stunning colours and a pleasure to move around in the sunlight! I didn't fall off! Would take a lot to fall off the rings! Probably would have to be a ring switching move which I've tried, and failed, I saw in an intermediate ring flow vid, I think it was from support hold moving one hand onto the other ring, in a sort of balance on one ring

@ 8c and summer are not words I expected in the same sentence 😂 Switching hands in the rings? That’s just next level 🤯

​@@Jimperialit's not high on my to-do list really so... When I tried it it felt like it could cause an injury for not much reward. Have you tired the t-shirt change challenge? Where you hang and change t-shirts without coming down? That's a more fun less injury thing to try

​@@Jimperialfound it, from 2.5 years ago! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5mkool7mZxliqcsi=-SI1nuGtaJ2d9U_L

@@HybridGym oh dang, now that’s impressive! Insane grip strength man. I can’t even one arm hang for a few seconds, and in those few seconds I rotate like crazy 😂

Have to sunbathe when possible now! Even though it's like 8c it's warm in the sun

@@HybridGym that is decent temp

Too much juggling! Good intro!

Thank you Eric 👍

Thanks Eric 👍

Yes sprint training is such feel good movement! To me its 100x more enjoyable than long slow distance training 😮 really working the bridges this week, trying to get more consistency, trouble is, as one thing improves, another worsens!

Hey just watched your muscles ups a few times, well done! You're really gonna progress a lot on rings flow now if you want to! I didn't have quite as much tme as I'd like for optimal sprint training, I'm not resting enough between sets, but it feels like ots doing something! Its feel good training and meant to have a good hormonal boost too

@ hey thanks! Gotta try some of the forward rolls on rings and see if I like it 😅. The sprinting here definitely looks fast! And yeah, I gotta imagine sprinting has a lot of positive effects on the body, including hormonal boosts.

I think sprint training is a good substitute for having a legs day too, I'm not intending to do anything in a gym, with weights, and I like the idea of being fast and dynamic, so it's a good fit for me I'd say 👍 with your set up though, hot humid climate, office job sometimes, and no injuries, I can see why sandbag and gym might suit you better. I think yes, you can start the ring roll right now ! The lack of confidence might mean you bail it, I probably did the first few times, but it really is a matter of just pulling as you roll over, trying not to roll too fast, legs a bit extended, and you'll probably get it straight away! The feeling of doing a muscle up to roll, to ... Etc... etc.... is very liberating. I'd say the MU is a technically harder move to complete, and probably a little more effort too

@@HybridGym sprinting definitely builds the legs! Along with athleticism and cardio gains, it’s a no brainer. Now that I think about it, I should probably do it too! Haha. I did try forward roll 1 time and I got scared and bailed out immediately 😅😂

I advise you watch 'forward rolls and what can go wrong '😉🙃🫢 seriously, I get that, it's such an odd thing to do up in the air! But honestly, if I can do it, you can do it absolutely 100% no doubt, its honestly no harder than a pull-up, think of it as a pull-up rotation, but in one way it's easier, you're holding the pull-up half way up, and the rotation momentum helps you more than a MU does in getting back to the low support hold position. But also allowing the rings to rotate 360 laterally is also a bit odd too, just allow it to happen. Thinking about it, a forward roll for me is about half the effort, I can do about 8 in a row or more, MU's get ragged after 2/3 and 4/5 would be an all out best at the moment with a lot of leg swing assistance

Thanks for checking it out Rev. Are you taking a YT break? No new vids for awhile... Nothing good on netflix at the moment for me

@@HybridGym bro i am making videos, but got em "unpublished" but they are there. i cant handle all the comments..so i keep a low profile for a while....watching Frasier :D

​@@reverendterminatorI understand. It takes awhile to reply and check out lots of others. I'm glad I only get four or five people, it's ok to support and chat with five

@@HybridGym yes 3-4 people is nice :) i agree

😮😮😅😅 I'm surprised Rev didn't pick up on that one ! Unintentional! Just didn't want my t-shirt to get drenched in sweat (despite the cold)

Hehe I was a bit dizzy after 8 rotations! But not as much as 8 cartwheels

Hey, I don't know anyone in my areas who teaches either! I'm picking it up as I go along pretty much from KZbin. I have been interested in these flows for many years, maybe over 15, but never did much about it till recently. Over the years I mainly worked on conditioning drills, so wall hspu, bridge pushups, pushups, pull-ups, I also went to yoga classes around 20 years ago, and also martial arts classes for many years, but around three years ago I decided to really go for it with rings, then with ground flowing. My training was a bit vague, but now I recently read a book on how to better train, generally for anything, and I'm trying to apply those principles and I think I'm improving faster now, with structure and focus

Enjoyed myself 😊

I've upped the back bends volume recently and it's helped! It doesn't help doing them on slippery muddy ground though 😅 cookies and ice-cream, you can turn that into muscle tomorrow 👌👍

I was surprised to be able to 'do' them first session. In the warm up it took some figuring out though. Now to get them smooth.... Then sequenced 😮rings went well too,. smooth was the aim and how they felt. Thanks P

It's a move where you balance on the elbow tucked into the side, the Portuguese 'fall of the kidneys' is referring to the placement of the elbow on the kidney, it's kind of into the hip/ribs, it's awkward, but the progressions and flows from it look amazing. And the difficulty levels go from head and arms helping, to being on one arm only

@ one arm? Holy shit, that’s like Baki levels (anime 😂)

​@@Jimperialyeah its impressive stuff! As you can see at the moment with this variation, although it was the first session, it's ungainly to go slow adjust slow adjust slow adjust then have to pop really fast over the elbow 😅 ideally it should be floating and smooth looking

@@HybridGym work in progress!

​@@Jimperialmore today 😅😊

Yeah cold one! And next week, it's meant to be colder, down to freezing point over nights

@@HybridGym freeze it bro

Hehe thanks! This week, ibe mainly been working qdr variants, essentially balance on the elbow tucked into the side, and bridge rotations, last week was mainly cartwheels, but i mix it up a lot 😊

I really enjoyed it, my view looking up was at lots of different orange leaved trees and blue sky's 😊 doesn't get much better a place to exercise

I'll check that out D, I haven't explored filming options, but it's a good idea.

Yes it's the same place, but I moved to the corner for the sunlight! Also, the park staff have been through and moved all the leaves off the paths and concrete

@ oh yeah, a little bit of sunshine usually feels good! Maybe the park staff saw you sweeping the leaves that one time, and now afraid they’d lose their jobs!

​@@Jimperialprobably more concerned a dog walker might have the means and desire to sue for a leaf slippage accident 😮

@@HybridGym oh man, that’s a thing? I can’t believe people would sue over those kind of things 😅

It's dmx party up, I expected YT to copyright it! A little patch of sun, even though it was about 8c it was warm in that patch. Yes, well, more like a viking movie 😉 finished gangs of London, absolutely over the top ridiculous over blown but fun

@@HybridGym cool bro!!! i am not sure if we have seen season 2 of Gangs of London.. we tried Lioness, american show, was promising, but boring eventually..new seasons of FRiends, are getting better.

​Y'all gonna make me act the fool, up in here! Up in here?!

@@PaulfromOregon i know that song first from King of Queens. his friend Deacon got black urges, and joined a black church, and sung in the choir. i think it was a dream inside Dougs head.

​@@reverendterminatorit's got some shocking scenes, season 2, hard to forget visuals like GoT. It's ludicrous what they get away with, given it's not the fantasy genre.

Thanks man 🙏

Thanks dude, I was directly inspired by your slow negative. I thought I'd try and do a slow one each time, and see how slow I can go, it's great doing slowish concentrics too but at the moment I think I've lost the ability! Need to dial the technique back in first

@ glad to be of service😅. Yeah slow concentrics are just next level! I’ve seen some do a single muscle up rep for a minute! Talk about slow and controlled

Yeah it really feels nice to get a slower smooth rep rather than a fast one, I'll take fast ones, they are 95% of what I do, but a slow one is another beast 😅 I'm not sure though how slow they can get the actual transition, it's a lot of effort for smaller muscles to rotate a slow transition! I notice even olympic gymnastics do most stuff fast, but wonder how slow they could go. They do have a better body proportion for it though as well

@ oh definitely, gymnasts possess next level strength and control. I guess starting at a young age pays off 😅

As far as I'm aware, if they start at say 8 or 9, their skeleton and other features can change and adapt for the purpose! But we can get some less extreme adaptions

Thanks D, usually yes consecutive is fine, but this time not so much, qdrs two days in a row was too much, yesterdays were lower volume and poorer quality, until/if I improve them they'll have to be low volume or non-consecutive. But, if I'm to gain skills I have to have a certain volume or fail, I believe. Cartwheels seem so low impact daily is fine, rings the limitation is wrists on false grip, but I should work levers on too on the 'off days' but usually don't get the time. What I normally do is have a legs focus day, upper body focus day, not exclusive but generally focused, but I usually don't film legs so much

Haha too slow

@@HybridGym they was like heros,,,,i taught they was so cool!! also i was 5 years :D

Courtesy of Norway 🙏

@@HybridGym thanx so much bro..

Yeah I was trying for my slowest negative transition! QDR rotational pushups; they've shredded my triceps! I didn't expect that, they didn't look like pushups on the instructional video,.more balance, but no they really work like a partial one arm pushup, and the balance is a nasty addition! I've avoided them in the past as they're so nasty to try and balance on the elbows, but I'm going to plod on

@HybridGym looks freaking awesome.

I thought I'd edited that out😮😅

haha great roar, with some awsome moves.

​@@reverendterminatora moment of frustration 😅

Thanks Eric 🙏

Thank you, such fun 🙏

Thanks P, cartwheels... I'm gonna try and walk my hands around soon to land in an opposite direction! Even though i haven't been injured yet, its still a bit psychologically off-putting, one of these stalled on one arm at a strange angle and o had a moment of 'oooooh' like i could have folded over and collapsed 😮the beat is Cam'ron oh boy, i thought YT would copyright it and stick the info up

@HybridGym unfortunately, despite what we may believe, we are not getting younger, lol. Still, the style of training you engage in is probably more beneficial to longevity and mobility. Maybe it was just notice to do some shoulder strengthening?

I don't think it was a strength issue but a balance issue! I don't think it's actually too demanding to be on one arm really, I can hold against a wall for over 30s one arm, but the potential to over balance while on one arm at an unsupported angle.... Well I guess I better hope my bailout game is on point 👌

Hehe this useful patch of concrete... What a gift! I've no idea what its original purpose may have been, picnic tables probably

Hehe yeah hopefully I'll get into a remake as an extra 😅 that initial flow was over six minutes but no one wants to watch so much 😅was smoother than normal maybe, i think going gloveless helped

@ dang, 6mins is a long time! It was smooth, yeah probably the added feeling of having no gloves helped!

​@@JimperialI just need a 5m square underfloor heated oak floor studio with height for rings 👌👌👌😊

@@HybridGym sounds like the ideal space! Add a corner for sandbags and I’m in! 😂

​@@Jimperialif we're having a sandbag corner, then I say we also have a protein smoothie and coffee bar 😅

Spider hybrid frog king!

It's very catchy! I got the leaves then the moss! Was and is slippery in patches

Thanks D, some progress i hope! I should have swept the moss ages ago, its much better not slipping on patches

You wouldn't regret it! Its a different mindset to the sets and reps style training and progress can seem slow, but i think its got ao many benefits, like strength, coordination and flexibility at the same time 👌

Thanks Paul, going to do more wheels today, hoping volume practice helps progress!

That's right, before a year ago I was mainly doing burpees! I need to do these knee things more regularly, there's just not enough time to do all the exercises, I've kinda made my mind up to resell the sandbags 😢and concentrate more on the rings/floor work/running modalities. I also want to get beyond 3 ball juggling, I have a book on it but failed so far to make inroads

@ yeah I feel you, there’s too many things I want to do too, and limited time. Unfortunate with the sandbag situation, but rings, floor work and running is more than enough to keep one fit! And juggling sounds pretty cool, working on that hand-eye coordination and reflex!

​@@Jimperialmissed this message... Yes shane about the sandbags, but im 99% sure they were tweaking that old groin area. The pain has gone in the last week (was mildly there for three weeks after last sand sesh), so im keen to avoid it coming back, especially as i enjoy the other training that doesn't hurt. I just liked the idea of being robust, strong enough to handle at least 60kg, and your vids make Sandbags look like intense fun, which it was! Cant have it all though!

@@HybridGym with your training, I’m pretty sure you can handle 60kg anytime you want or need to!

Thanks for the vote of confidence 👍😁

A football pitch would be a good place, or bowling green if you could get away with it. Here, I'm right between the two, with the Bude downs, golf course and car park beyond, and it's early morning so it does look a bit bleak!

It is a freeing feeling, maybe it's being free of the Earth, but more so, being able to express something physically, it feels like something that is just pleasant to do, perform and try and get better at performing. I'm finding the same with cartwheels, trying to 'control' them, put my feet where I want when I want, it's a game/challenge about proprioception and other facets, it's capturing my imagination

@@HybridGym Do you perform to music? In ear bluetooth perhaps?

Thanks Rev, I didn't time it, always get more timed, got about 80s hang time
