FIX AN ARCHED BACK IN YOUR LEVER | Why Your Back Lever Is NOT Straight.

[@wilswils4837]

At this point, do anything thats anything muscle-strength-control related that you think is a good habit to have. Or maybe just a vlogging style concept of a day in "Mr Strong as shit"s life?

Does back lever have any strength carryover to hspu?

[@mandlakei2513]

no

[@SimonsterStrength]

Yes, but very little... I would not train the back lever with the sole intention of improving my HSPU. The motor patterns are completely different but they do share some key muscles (although working in different ranges of motion). Both exercises require strong shoulder flexors, so building muscle mass in the shoulder flexors with back levers will theoretically increase your potential force output in your HSPU.

[@kylesthenix]

@@SimonsterStrength cool...I was thinking possibly having an arched back lever and having an arched back in hspu may both stem from a lower back weakness...

[@Pokerchip1080]

Thanks for the awesome breakdowns! Do you have any videos on how to speed up recovery and/or any techniques or things you implement to recover / rest ?

Hallö Simon, gteat content as usual stay 💪

I have trouble breathing in the back lever how do I fix that

[@stefanstillwell4854]

Take a big breath before you start, then let a little of it go so your chest & ribs aren't too puffed up. When you each the position only short shallow breaths so you don't lose core tension on the out breath

[@PerryMatt]

Great video! 👌👌Can you do a video on MIDDLE SPLIT?

Thank you! I've just started to extend one leg and have thus exact problem. I will try the leg extensions on a box

Hey Simon, what joggers are you using? They look comfortable for training

[@bogdanradulea4700]

Can you please make a video for front lever as well about alignment I will apreciat it a lot 💪

[@timinator1178]

I’ve been stuck at the tuck planche for a long time, and I’m not sure how to go from there to the advanced tuck planche. I can hold a tuck for half a minute pretty reliably, but I can’t hold advanced for more than a second. Do you have any recommendations for how to train that transition? I know this is a very common problem for beginning athletes.

This is great, can you please make a video on difficulty going fully straight in the front lever. Fix piking at the hip to straight line

[@tanboi1105]

Might be that your lats aren't strong enough yet but if they are then work on glute contraction. Use a light band to feel what a straight position is. Hope this helps

[@Ace-zb5xr]

Try doing dragon flags for a month and then return to FL.

[@TheParkitny]

@@Ace-zb5xr great tip

[@chriswhitley1535]

Great video simonster! Could you plz plz make a video on how to build up hip flexor strength..ive been doing the seated pike compressions. But if there are other exercises that help id really like to know. Thankyou. I can hold a full L sit with my pelvis tiled forward/arms locked out but i struggle with half hanging leg raises & can only do one full hanging leg raise with correct form. I really feel that its bcus of my hip flexors. I also have really good hamstring flexibility.

[@laz_sw9524]

i think that you should just keep training half hanging leg raises,or even drop to knee raises to build up capacity until you feel ready to move up to toes to bar.Generally working on core strength will help a lot,so you can give hollow body holds and dragon flies a go as well.I hope i helped you!Keep going strong my friend!!! :D

[@chriswhitley1535]

@@laz_sw9524 i can hold a correct hollow body hold for 30+seconds. Ive tried dragon flags but i dnt think im strong enough for that yet. Everytime i attempted one i feel alot of pressure in my mid back area

[@laz_sw9524]

@@chriswhitley1535 i feel you my friend,you just have to take it slow.Start from advanced tuck if you have to.Move up to one leg,then go for straddle...and when it gets comfortable try the full version.Right now i'm working on straddle,should get the full flies in around 1-2 months.
