@Daniel, I've seen skin the cat where the person will rotate their wrists so their palms are facing back on the 2nd half (lowering) party of the movement. You think there's any reason to do that? Thanks for another great video.

[@unknown-rs4ec]

Hey mate your awesome and respect 🙏 to you! Is the planche leaver on the rings harder to do then on the straight bar or could you progress on the straight bar to get to the rings just a question need some tips to improve holding my leaver and your form is on the expert level respect mate

[@slashskatewc]

I'm Brazilian. In my opinion, this is the best channel of calisthenics ever!! I've been watching FitnessFAQs for years and I can't find another channel with this level of informative content. Now I'm able to do muscle ups without kipping because of the awsome tips of this channel! Thanks man!!

[@trevbarlow9719]

I think it's an okay channel, but overrated. The tutorials are often missing important aspects for beginners and even intermediates. Moreover, his videos often don't specify which skill level the movement is. This particular video is a good example. I think he rarely works with people who are new to the hobby.

Are those socks necessary?

[@timtuttle4894]

great, Iam just starting out on the rings, I am 63 years old, and I can do the 360 but not with the legs extentended, I am doing a lot of warmup, as the musles are not strong enough, I am quit sore in the shoulders. I was into weight lifting for many years, but got away from it when I started to travel. now am getting into rock climbing, and think can use the rings to built up my flexabilty and strength over time, glad to find your videos

[@pricerowland]

Guys we all know this vid was made so Daniel could subtly show off how his calves have grown from 80 different angles. But we all secretly enjoyed it.

[@GirishVenkatachalam]

Really nice, I used to do it hanging on a tree in my porch as a kid. Now however @ age 47 I find it hard to do.

[@JoseVargas-yd8kn]

Wao look your shoulders...and your legs ....wao ..you and tom Merrick are the best fitness ..

[@milindsharma8106]

check out calisthenics movement too, they have some great content as well

[@basicbro8139]

learning the skin the cat just now!! this is what I like about calisthenics... you progress to a different exercise which is a qualitative measure. And once you accomplish a skill its like you did what you thought couldn't be done with your body aka the impossible. you feel so great... at the gym you just progress through weights doing the same thing over and over again which can be quite boring

[@commentconnoisseur1001]

How is doing the same lifting patterns any more boring than doing the same calisthenics patterns?

[@basicbro8139]

Figel the Great master a new exercise after a ton of hard work... you will know :)... but calisthenics can be frustrating too when you are stuck in a progression

[@commentconnoisseur1001]

Bro, I can do a front lever. I know. But hitting say 600lbs on the deadlift is equally satisying I'd say. Or learning the snatch. Etc.

[@markuswirth621]

What the hell is the difference between deadlifting 200 or 600 lbs, it is just a number

[@commentconnoisseur1001]

it's not just a number. it's a weight. "what's the difference between a push up and a planche, it's just a different movement".

[@SnakeyXT]

Amazing body and strength. Fitness goals.

[@robertburtchell5747]

I love this concept of training dynamics over statics. I personally just started doing something like this for my planche training using Pike pulls and pull throughs to work l-sit, planche, and press handstands all in one movement

[@meowmeowone8479]

Yo, translate all that awesomeness for the uninitiated, my guy, please and thank you!

[@gamerx30]

I healed my shoulders doing this.

[@STBRetired1]

Oh, I noticed on another video, if you're having trouble doing a regular skin the cat then do it in reverse on the rings until your shoulders are strong enough. Make the front part of the skin the cat an eccentric movement until those muscles strengthen up.

[@junglegymbali5136]

I am *55* & i do it often. Calisthenics *forever* Cheers from bali🌴

[@STBRetired1]

What's funny is how regular weight-lifting misses those "connecting" muscles that allow a person to do such skin the cats so easily. You can do all the rows, situps, pullups etc in the world and still not be able to make this exercise look as easy as what this young man does. It's those "interconnecting" muscles that are the weak link and we're only as strong as our weakest link. Gymnastics is the best form of exercise. It gives you control over your body that just weight-lifting doesn't do.

[@wallesdrop3026]

true but as a bodybuilder those muscles are useless. because they are training for aesthetic not for skills

[@HopsterZz]

Yeah youre totally right ! , this is why I now decided to combine these two ;)) Both lifting weights at gym and doing calisthenics is amazing combo 🔥👌

[@wallesdrop3026]

@@HopsterZz how do you combine? summer calesthenics and winter gym, or both in one workout or calesthenics and next workout gym, or compounds calesthenics and isolations gym?

[@birdsamora9925]

@@wallesdrop3026 yeah do both but also cut both in half like maybe for example the pulling exercises we go 2 sets of skin the cat 2 sets of pull-ups 2-3 sets of bent Dumbbell rows 1 -3 set of hammer curls

[@f0xof907]

I'm not trying to be annoying but i think you mean interconnecting tissues, such as tendons and ligamens, because there are no interconnecting muscles.

[@GrownandHealthy]

Great tutorial! When are you going to talk about your nutrition?

[@roberthowells38]

Definitely like dynamic exercise over isometric holds.

[@joek9678]

I can see doing that exercise can virtually engage all muscle on the body. You are super agile and blessed

[@nickdavatzes5621]

I enjoyed the video. One question you did not address is hand position. Does it matter if you keep your hands fixed (as it appears in the video) in a pronated grip? Or is there a benefit or risk for the shoulder if you transition into a supinated grip as you pull through from the front lever to the back lever?

[@mynameisalex_]

After injuring my rotator cuff jumping into full back levers too soon, I can safely say that the slow progression is essential. Also warming up. I couldn't even do press ups it was that bad :/

[@jordanlee367]

Never thought of the german hang as a offensive name, you are very funny!

[@sillychinas]

empbac except it's not. It's based on how the nazis used them as stress positions for their prisoners. Awkward...

[@jordantravers1233]

Huge! Great pull. Great shorts.

[@radiospank]

this is awesome! I’m still on tucked skin the cat but I will try to do the dynamic progression in sets

[@peteryun3452]

Another great video! As always.

[@marcoskrupiczer6595]

I think an even harder progression could be to go from front lever to back lever (instead of going from active hang to german hang)

[@ibaikintana908]

marcos krupiczer in fact it's easier (at least in my personal opinion and experience). The reduced range of motion on the 180° version makes the exercise less fatiguing than the 360° one. Another point is that the time under tension is also not that much. I reccomend you to try both (on a progression you are able to) and feel the difference😅.

[@kitchensinkmuses4947]

@@ibaikintana908 If you have a pause in the lever positiions for 5 seconds or so, it is MUCH harder as an isometric than dynamic exercise

I can only do 5 reps of this exercise, though my legs are pulled in half way. Only can do this on pull up bars at my gym. I have to agree with the muscles used. It totally can wear myself out.

Cool exercise Dan! I'm slowly progressing thanks to your video. I can't help but ask, but is is it possible to progress in "feet hanging"? Thanks

Hi Daniel, Unfortunately I've been struggling with injuries lately. Any tips on speeding up the recovery of my sprained thumb and index finger? It's been 1,5 month and I still lack mobility. Can I train pull ups if I use sports tape?

[@marinriv514]

Can you do more about pushing bodyweight exercises? I cant do dips on rings and i dont like bench dips on rings idk why. So i only do push ups and tricep ring extensions. I really dont know what would my 3rd be..

[@earg1170]

Marin Bošnjak What about regular dips? You can give Skullcrushers a go

[@marinriv514]

E arg I dont have paralel bars. Only rings. Skullcrushers are kind of like ring tricep extensions right? But nevertheless (is that even a word) thanks on reply!

[@user-bm9sj2kh2b]

Look out dominik sky's channel begginer to advanced videos, he shows a lot of variation of pull,push and core, and you can do archer push ups,diamond,decline and pike push ups to be able to do ring dips, or practice the ring support with external rotation and if you can't do it in dip position do it in push up position that worked for me 👍

[@levihalperin7649]

Marin Bošnjak what about parallel bar or straight bar dips?

[@levihalperin7649]

Marin Bošnjak it's worth working on holding yourself in the top position of a ring dip and stabilizing there and then you can try using one leg to do assisted ring dips which can still be quite tough

[@weiyingkao]

I wish I could do this one day!

Hello Daniel, Can I ask you a question not related to this video? I am a beginner and I am learning how to pull up, I watched tutorial from Calisthenicmovement (the perfect pull up), I can perform it pretty much the same, but I am getting pain in my spine from arching the back, do I do something wrong, or should I just tighten my glutes and abs? I would be very thankful for asnwer, nice video!

[@ceili]

František Toman why not try a doctor or physiotherapist

[@lolek854]

because they dont understand the movement? I have never gotten pain in my back my whole life so its probbably problem in the movement, not with my spine.

So, as I'm progressing in my bodyweight skills and calisthenics I get closer and closer to just cancelling my gym membership altogether. I wanted to ask you though, do you still do conventional weight training? I don't want to lose the physique I've built, but I feel like the calisthenics would maintain what I have. I do want to know if you supplement your bodyweight stuff with conventional weights before I make a decision though. Thanks man.

[@klemenkovacic9109]

is doing pull ups harder on bar or rings? cos for me perosnally i found that rings are way easier and enjoyable for me for doing muscle ups and everything in between (also core works more cos it needs to stabilize body, espeically with straight (90 degree legs) if anything i find doing pull ups on bar better for back (lat) muscles but i can not do muscle up there
