Mesmerizing. I'd really like to be able to do the 'bridge' and 'over the top' but they all look great.

[@Strengthside]

anything going backwards becomes very fun 😀

[@Andythefunkman]

Sir seeing you move like that and with so much grace and delicacy is just beautiful. I will start practicing.

[@YouTherapy]

You have so much grace; it really is like watching a professional dancer. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@Strengthside]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@zeeshanelbaracat7505]

Poetry in motion, bro, utterly beautiful to watch, such skill, I’m in awe!

[@manji1993]

That's on Point bro

[@melissaafernandes902]

When I see some of these movements I remember training capoeira angola back in the day in Toronto. Lots of playfulness, strength, flexibility and flow movement. Need to get back into those movements.

[@Strengthside]

sounds like good times!

[@melissaafernandes902]

@@Strengthside definitely, thanks for sharing the movement in a way that can still be enjoyed.

[@honorwwords]

Fluid movement, smooth transitions, and impeccable control... sublime. Thank you! I watch only a select few fitness inspirations. I mention your channel and another's quite often to my gym boss.

[@salesagentsolutions210]

Pumping the steel is fun, but this workout makes you feel a lot better and more connected to your body. This video is way helpful. I tried about half the moves...they will wake your body up.

[@Strengthside]

that's the truth buddy!

[@Pouncerman]

Now you’re just showin off! Great job!

[@gaetanoiuculano7895]

[@user-yk9sk7pg6v]

Great, thank you.

[@snowlion8923]

Been doing these exercises with my yoga and qigong routine. It has def helped with my flexibility, balance, and strength when doing poses especially with the handstand and completing the rotation on the bridge

[@charlesgolden6520]

[@jonathannoch1835]

great video ❤️ absolutely inspiring

[@alexanderalza5685]

Niiiice!!!! Some moves are impossible for me to do because of my size and lumbar condition,but i'm doing some of the moves already during my workouts and will incorporate more from this video!

[@Ardoxsho]

Woooh. These movements are SUPER challenging after suffering a serious motorcycle accident. But tempting at the same time. Who knows, one day I might be able to get back to some parkour... Practising these movements is surely a good start.

[@TALIACORNELIUS]

These speak to my soul hahahah I'm so excited to try!

[@Dogface1984]

Good BJJ warm up

the one from 4:47 i like best, but i dont know how to start to learn it without breaking my bones.... it looks really cool though !!

[@marionsutcliffe1119]

Having an 'ape index' > 1 (i.e. armspan greater than height) must be really helpful. Think I'm gonna made some 1" foam blocks for my palms...will also take some pressure off wrists.

[@darrylportra4340]

Amazing agility, Sir

[@thakurrudra6852]

Oh damn 😍

[@admadm7529]

Hi strength side, I would appreciate your help. I hope you get to see this message. I have lower back pain especially the left side of my lower back and sometimes it seizes up. I believe it’s down to a lateral pelvic tilt. My legs and hips just feel uneven and I could really have help with some decent stretches and exercise to do to help this? Would be great if you cover this in a video! Your vids are excellent, keep up the work thanks

[@robalberts]

Ido Portal ftw! Great!

Just got to wait for spring so I can go outside and do this stuff...

Do you recommend this work out for someone with knee pain? You got a fan from Colombia south America..

[@therealmfwic9503]

Everybody loves a little morning “for play”! Yes I know is spelled “fore play”.

[@wopdiwop00120]

How’d did get into this?.. how long did it take you to develop all these basic skills and is there a lifestyle associated with this kind of physical discipline?..

[@SuperBond113]

Wha kind if warm up should we do ?

[@j.p.carroll284]

Josh do you where I can find an over the top tutorial man?

[@octolink]

Seeing as this comment is from 6 months ago you probably already found one or forgot but the movement you are referring to is known as a “Macacco” in capoeira. I’m not sure if I spelled it right but if you search tutorials for it here on KZbin you should find plenty 🙏

[@jeffrollason1190]

Hey bro, can you recommend another book, have just finished "As a Man Thinketh" amazing book

[@Strengthside]

The way of the superior man.

What you doing for warm up before your work out?

I’m curious now, when doing these movements what part of the muscle will you be working out?

All your body. It’s like functional hiit low impact :)

Have you heard of the fascia ?

What’s the soundtrack?

Can you do a series on how you built up to these moves. I’ve been trying the back bridge transition and falling on my butt. Just a tad less graceful than you 😂
