[@SamBarrass]

Your channel is providing information which may take a hobbyist YEARS of scouring the internet to find. And you explain everything concisely and thoroughly. I only wish people understood just how much value you are giving away for FREE. Truly magnificent channel! I hope you keep it up!

[@michaelvrchota4089]

Been lifting all my life for size and strength. Now, at 75 I've found your channel and am working diligently with your tutoring. Amazing results! Working on a gymnastics body instead of a weightlifter body. Much more range of movement with your workouts. It's going to take time. Just hope I have enough time remaining to get where you are! 😊

I spent the last year getting back on top of my fitness. I lost 30 lb in the past few months, I'm doing way more calisthenics and stretching, and I love your channel. Not just for the information and data, but because you are really good at presenting information. Thank you for this 👍

who is the guy you often use for showing a small piece of an exersice, mostly for showing strenght? (often doing a hard movement on rings) doing the dumbbell curls at the end of this video :) And great video! THANKS

Something tells me these exercises are also therapy for my tight shoulders

[@YouTrolol]

how much do these gymnasts weigh? at the end of my planche/push day, i try to do maltese dumbbell presses with 45lbs, 5 reps 3 sets. i was reading or watching something that planche and front lever require about 75% mastery of your bodyweight. i'm 5'9", 160lbs, so that means eventually i need to get up to 60lb dumbbells. i feel like that's a long way off.

It’s a long way for sure, but why rush? :)

@@GymnasticsMethod I used to be gymnast from age 13-18. I am now 23 and have been on and off training. I can confidently say that you speak more than the truth in your videos. You have reminded me of so many things my old coaches used to teach me; Basic things that are the foundation of all the advanced movements, just as you say. I have also now learned so many new things from watching your videos (I´ve watched like 20 in 1 day lol) and I can´t wait to apply them in my workouts and see what results I get! Peace!

[@stevenboelke6661]

For planche press, why do it in hollowbody position? Wouldn't an arched back give more ideal resistance?

[@Im.myfuture]

I'm late and I'm no true expert, but I believe it's because a hollowbody is used commonly in a lot of gymnastics movements in the same way they also require a lot of straight arm strength. Specific Adaptation to Impose Demands.

[@solarjudgement4575]

Can you discuss methods gymnast use to get flexibility in legs and hips. Do gymnast use loaded streching exercise for faster flexibility?

[@GymnasticsMethod]

For sure! Will do!

[@anthonywilson1754]

I got badly beat up as a 16 year old gymnast and turned to weights to add a lot of lean muscle. And I really wanted to build up my legs. As you say about squats and deadlifts I built up large and heavy legs. I lasted in gymnastics from ages 4 to 18 but my body was not what a gymnast wants.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

You're too strong then :)

[@anthonywilson1754]

@@GymnasticsMethod For gymnastics from young age I knew biceps and abs needed to be strong and worked them hard. But taking punches held in a full nelson I felt small. I got made fun of for having a muscular upper body but skinny lower body. Chicken legs. I kind of knew I would not keep going on in gymnastics after high school so I decided to get into bodybuilding and take advantage of school weight room and high school athletes happy to train me. I fell in love with legs workouts. I loved gymnastics and still do some bar workouts. I grew up on a bar.

[@comosediceesoo681]

I recommend the Lu raises

[@adamtokodi5483]

In what order should we do these exercises? The same order like in video or...?

[@mikewatson3718]

You have a video on what movements people should start with? I want to add some of this to my regular training. I also like to add a challenge movement (like right now I’m working on doing pistol squats for legs) having something like that for upper body to work towards would be cool

[@kristijanhajdin4724]

I have a question, is, it okay and not overdoing it if implemente pre hab exercises every day, ive found your channel yesterday and i decided to change my training im at like intermediate level at calisthenics was basically doing reps past three months but ive realize i was doing half reps basically, so im changing my plan to upper body Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and running Tuesday, Thursday, so is it okay i do pre hab every day that im training on, i really wanna strengthen my joint and increase mobility and master the basics.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

you don't need to do all prehab everyday. If you feel like your body needs time to recover, give it the time. I have 6 sessions a week and just 4 upperbody, I only do the upper body before those

[@GymnasticsMethod]

There are PNF and weighted stretches that will make sure you won’t loose strength, in fact you’ll build range of motion that you can use. There are “jolly joker” exercises that you can use after each session.
