[@joecolombo1727]

Greetings from country Vic. Another beastly video mate, great tips. Thanks Simon! Cheers.

[@skybin453]

Thank You Simon. You are Master Trainer.👍 Always best video.

[@alphaunit1993]

Perfect way for me to improve my mobility and stability movements I knew shoulders wasn’t the way to lift up its all about that dead hang and now I know to stretch out my hamstrings more often thank you sir

[@bearleeleagle7170]

Simonster!

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

I would appreciate more content for absolute beginners. Thank you very much, great content how to do pullups or pushups from scratch etc.

[@gtrrohit5078]

Simply do negatives

Hey bro, do you have a sitting press to handstand video workout tutorial? I’ve always wanted to do one and I love your detailed explanations. Thx!

[@_raheem_k9463]

Bro can you make a video on rotator cuff. I don't know how did i hurt my rotator cuff.

Legit night and day diffrance between a real toes to bar and a crossfit one.

[@llzx3672]

When is the next program coming out?

[@Dave0Star]

Hey. I’ve been doing high knee raises with weight, do you think this will lead me to at least bent legs toes to bar?

[@antonaloysius1124]

Hey Simon Great and informative video as always Just have two questions How do you progress the difficulty once you can do the straight toes to bar? How do I bridge the gap between the elevated pike push up and the chest to wall Hspu? 👍 Thanks

[@SimonsterStrength]

Thanks. 1. Ankle weights. 2. Partial reps of wall HSPU, increase ROM of pike or add weight with a vest.

[@antonaloysius1124]

@@SimonsterStrength Great will definitely integrate these into my training sessions. 👍

[@Shifty4L]

Nice tutorial. Can you make a video about the bat hang? or foot hang?

[@Shifty4L]

It would be good progression from toes to bar

[@Shifty4L]

Maybe after that sit ups from foot hang? also is there a difference in muscle function from Toes to bar?

[@Wintertimeish]

Dead hang or active hang?

[@LostInLeiden]

I've been training these for two years now and progress is really good but they have given me constant (chronic) tightness in my quads and hip flexors. Is that normal? Should I be doing hamstring exercises to counter balance the muscle groups?

[@reprep7549]

That is normal since you engaging those muscles in the movement. a way to fix that is to stretch your hip flexors and quads to get rid of that tightness

[@serge.h]

Do reverse nordic curls after hanging leg raises and they will stretch out your quads (particularly your rectus femoris) very well while strengthening them further at the same time 😌

[@LostInLeiden]

@@serge.h thanks a lot

[@LostInLeiden]

@@reprep7549 awesome, thanks

[@awesomeguy3211]

How do you build the flexibility for this?

[@SimonsterStrength]

Use the stretch referenced in the video

[@ahrixenon4599]

Is there much difference between hanging leg raises on a pullup bar, and leg raises supported on dip bars?

[@LostInLeiden]

I find them much easier on dip bars. Having your shoulders and upper body more open when hanging seems to make it much more challenging

[@SimonsterStrength]

This depends on the progression. It's hard to get the same range of movement as the toes to bar with the dip variation. Most people don't have the shoulder extension range or strength in such a short position for this. With the easier options, it's much the same at the core. However, the upper limb involvement will be slightly different. The dip variation will use the shoulder extensors in a very short position to keep the hips in line with the hands (hence why you may feel sore in your long head of triceps the next day). The hanging variation will work the shoulder extensors in an overhead position. Ultimately, they both train the abs/hip flexors in the same way. I encourage you to use both in your training and consider which better mimics your goals. Supported will be more transferable to the L-sit/planche/V-sit/flares and hanging will be more transferable to the pull-over and backsault.

[@user-wp5no6cn2b]

I'm surprised your lower abs aren't really visible even with this level of strength. I suppose it comes down to bodyfat %. What % do you believe it was at here?

[@AlexeyLindenwald]

This video is so good, that I want to dislike it before they are disabled, so that activity stays in history!

[@rippawallet]

Makes sense. Not

[@AlexeyLindenwald]

@@rippawallet Yes. That's what happens when your imagination is dead :) Anyway we are helping by the activity under the vid, so... win win

[@frazebean5117]

@@AlexeyLindenwald nah it's nothing to do with his imagination. Your comment actually makes no sense.

[@AlexeyLindenwald]

@@frazebean5117 True... But at least I got people to comment on my comment, so now video gets discussion which increases the visibility of the Chanel

[@Guron90]

Everyone i see doing this is doing it wrong. Including myself. The strict one is next level impossible.

[@rz1358]

Only honest, not dynamic way to do it properly !
