ADVICE YOU NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE | Interview with Yaad Mohammad | Athlete Insider Podcast #70

[@DoctorYaad]

I loved doing this interview! Been a while since I could share some of the knowledge I’ve gathered these days regarding calisthenics and strength sports! Love what Gornation is doing! And thank you so much for the extremely kind comments below this video. They definitely motivated me to pick up making educational content again!

[@lowprofiled]

Crazy, Just saw and came from a forums and you were talking about how you had 2 sec planche and you lost it and couldnt perform straddle for a while great to see you’re doing better now make have any tips on front lever pull ups and progressive overloading with planche push up training?!

[@GORNATION]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Yaad 🤟🔥

[@Hayzthenix]

The knowledge in this video is invaluable thanks for your input into the Cali community a few things stood out for me the muscle inflammation is highly valuable personally for me and also the part where you mentioned doing pull-ups before planche work healed with planche, I feel exactly the same way

[@leeesinbot3732]

best interview so far to much knowledge

[@danielcoloma232]

@DoctorYaad at 34:55 you said we should start with the movement we are most interested in but there are exceptions like yourself (you start by doing pull ups before training your planche for your shoulders). Doesn’t that mean your rotator cuffs aren’t warmed up enough, and by doing PU you “activate” them for the planche ? I am absolutely not an expert on calisthenics and I don’t have any medical or biological knowledge. Just an IT guy

[@TheJackedVegan]

11/10 interview! I’m making a lot of calisthenics strength principle videos in the near future, and next is programming. Yaad’s confirmed a lot of what I’ve read and provided even more insight in a really easy to understand way. Awesome dude

[@GORNATION]

True 🤟

[@N_L12]

I feel like that one's the best interview so far.

[@hedz7548]

One of the few athletes that knows his shit, that has actually red the books and is documented on sport science, recovery, and strenght training, and applies it to calisthenics. Also very articulate, the best guest you had on the channel imho. It's refreshing to see some content that makes sense On the other hand it's frustrating to see elite athletes sell cookie cutter programs mesmerizing people with some magic exercices or progressions, without volume landmarks, frequency recommendation "just protract and ppt bro look let me show you i can full planche" when it is against the core principal of coaching which is individualisation, makes you wonder if anyone of these athletes know how to properly train and progress (ofc there are athletes that know their shit thank god). Anyways sorry for rambling, thanks yaad for brightening all of that for us

[@iwannaplanche1621]

also the first guest that has good english and broad vocabulary

[@mrnaizguy]

That's the thing with elite athletes, you cannot listen to them. 99% of them talk trash. The reason they're at the top is elite genetics. They can basically train like idiots and still get full planche etc just because of that. What they don't realize is that does not work for everybody else!

[@hedz7548]

@@mrnaizguy 100% agree

Such a great and valuable interview 👏 🙌 ❤️

I’ve been training clients, researching, and watching content for years. This is one of best interviews I’ve seen! Great stuff. Thank you Yaad Mohammad 🙏

[@Yahavogdan]

This guy needs his own youtube channel with all that knowledge!

[@billygovaert6198]

i have learned sooo much from this interview this is one of the best i ever saw. Thanks to philipp and yaad for this.

[@LeonSattmann]

great Interview love it ! would love to see Onizuka OTZ next

[@tstreino]

Nice interview! i love Yaad man, dude is so down to earth, knowledgable, and such a nice person, he always answer my questions on instagram, and dude is a fucking beast, specially on pulling strength

[@GORNATION]

Happy to hear, thank you!

[@solomon9507]

This doctor is so underrated. Most athletes do not say essential stuff but he helps me tremendously. Now I understand that I had elbow pain because I did too much back lever.

[@V.Burnessalty]

Nice interview! I learned some new things about recovery and injury prevention. Thanks!! 💪

[@thieumehhh1151]

Super helpful! This man knows what is he talking about

[@softacroaaron]

Absolutely phenomenal episode!

[@CaliFitHQ]

One of the best calisthenics topic interview I was listening soo far , Yaad thank you for your great advices and tips you will be a great competitor to other calisthenics youtubers and content creators wishing you only the best, big thanks 🙏

[@fl0w822]

Great interview! Very informational and beneficial! Thanks

[@crisyboy8600]

So far the best interview in terms of ideologies 🙏

[@karlandreicastrillo9427]

TLDR: I achieved supinated full back lever by only doing supinated planche lean and supinated pseudo planche push up. 22:05 this is so true. Way back in 2020 I started training for the supinated back lever because I have read a book called building the gymnastics body by coach Sommer and according to him full back lever is essential for the planche development. So I trained for the back lever for around 8 months or so and I only managed to go from tuck to advanced tuck within that period. After 8 months of little to no progress with the back lever training that I did, I started training for the planche specifically. I don't have a planche yet but my supinated planche lean as well as my supinated pseudo planche push up are quite good. Last week I tried to do a supinated full back lever and I held it for around 8 secs. I only attempted the supinated full back lever because I felt like my distal bicep tendons are already strong and well conditioned from the planche training that I do. In fact, I do feel more stress in my bicep tendons when doing supinated planche lean compared to a supinated full back lever.

[@mrnaizguy]

Had a similar experience. Didn't do backlever for ages. One day I just tried it without warmup and managed multiple back lever pulls from horizontal hold to inverted hang. Only because of basics, some bodybuilding and a lot of handstand push-up training

[@Massthenics]

This is the best interview by Gornation I've seen so far. Echt fantastisch gedaan Yaad, dank je wel voor de info.

[@HER0IC]

A free Masterclass :) Thanks a lot Yaad Mohammad it has change a lot into my vision of this sport :) Let's apply those advices now

[@Bob13Blues]

Thank you Dr. Yaad. That was great interview.

[@alexpena1259]

Amazing interview!! One of the best ones

[@Fifty]

Yaads a legend

[@yousef9181]

Wish I heard this before I started into planche, I started planche work in last april and got tremendous amount of strength in planche leans and tuck planche , I rushed, I trained everyday on those movements and sometimes twice a day, in addition to other skills that I was training on, all combined together, got my forearm and elbow tendons,muscles and nerves all extreme tired and almost damaged. I wish I was more aware of what I was doing. Over training skills is the worst thing you can do to your body. All that enthusiasm and strength gains went down really hard, now I am still recovering from what I did. Take care!

[@adarshkalekar7481]

17:05 this is what you came for

[@jvuong13]

great interview!

[@wakeupp563]

4:37 yeah, look at all these athletes who startet calisthenics 10 or 15 years ago, almost all of them heavily injured... bicep tears, shoulder problems, elbow operations and so on... we have to learn to take more rest days, you know back then we always said "no pain no gain, no rest days" I dont know if its the same today... I am not saying to stop completey working out but at least give the heavy elements a few weeks of rest and just do the basics

[@Lucas_SM_Gymnasthenics]

Such a quality podcast!! I learned so much and got so much things clear in a short time, However I would like to ask him many things but I will write a quick question, maybe someone can ask: I like having a quick cold shower everyday after my workouts, is this affecting my muslce inflamation and reducing my gains?

[@mrnaizguy]

No a quick cold shower does not harm gains but sitting in a cold bath does according to the research

[@Lucas_SM_Gymnasthenics]

@@mrnaizguy Oh Thanks, because I love having a cold shower after workout and dint want to stop it

[@art_of_defying_gravity]

High value informations. Thank you

[@lorenzoroen]

Siiir can you interview Kylevo!! 19yr old beast who can easily do planche and press

[@aloci3370]

I really disagree about the back lever part, I think it's really awesome to unlock harder skills because its really good to condition the biceps with the straight arm strength. It's also way easier than maltese, planche, cross etc so its really smart to start by strengthening it. I train supinated back lever and literally feel nothing in my elbow but all in my biceps and I can continue my workout without it being detrimental, I just do it after my cross training

[@--rajsingh9355]

Please include a question that is scapula winning thanks

[@newt9943]

i'm asian, so there are so much homework for me to do so i have to stay up late to get all the work done. Therefore, I'm getting less sleep only 5-6 hours of sleep. Does it affect to my progess ?

[@TheDarkein]

What an interessting athlète

[@Travisthenics]

so how do i train for planche then without working hard. after every workout i'm sore for nearly a week and then i go back to it and i can barely do what i did only 5 or 6 days ago. was he saying that i need to rest 6 weeks in between planche workouts or what??? I am super confused. edit: i just thought if i was working out planche for example say ide start at point "A" down below then ide do my workout and in theory get stronger to point "C". then i rest for however long i need to rest for and when i come back to the planche training im at point "B" then after my workout ide be at point "D" and so on for e after rest and f after the next workout is that what would happen? another note (the rest period from point C - B is 6 weeks then 6 weeks from D - E and then so on.? sorry if im the most cofusing person on the planet right now its just me trying to understand... .A. .C .B. .D .E. .F

[@gdyo3367]

just lower the intensity of your planche session,so you can recover and train it again soon ,more frequently i guess ?

[@vallenthorpe6495]

He was saying it takes 6 weeks for your body to get used to the Planche training not that you should rest six weeks between each Planche training

[@Travisthenics]

@@vallenthorpe6495 thank you heaps bro

[@Travisthenics]

@@gdyo3367 yeah i have decided to do that. thanks man

[@hamidmahmood5061]

what is the exercise that is similar to a planche lean fro front level at 50:27

[@tvujtatata]

Probably just legs resting on some object so you are horizontal and you lean back progressively to increase the angle and difficulty. Not sure tho but I can imagine that being quite useful and will try to incorporate it into my practice.
