[@FitnessFAQs]

Golden tutorial for the human flag. Simple and systematic, nice one Simon.

Great, was just thinking about strengthening the flag. Thank you.

Great vid. I've taught people the human flag and it's comforting to know that you use the same progressions! But I never used a resistance band! Time to try that

I love this, i dont have bars so i use pole and i havent seen another tutorial that explains the grip on poles

[@herc1305]

I don't think I have seen you do either of these, but considering everything else you do, you can probably get the skills fast. Dragon press....kinda the gateway to floor Victorian Meat hook, I think it's a circus thing, not really gymnastics There is no real guide for either of these, just people going through trying to do it. I did work on dragon press, but stopped so I had more time to work planche and front lever. Now that I can front lever, gonna work on dragon press again. Would be nice to have a real tutorial for it, no doubt there is a better way to go at it than what I was doing.

Good tutorial. I've trained the Human Flag twice and both times I ended up with a shoulder injury in the bottom supporting arm. I've steered clear from HF since then as I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Do you know what I could be doing wrong? I can perform both the Front Lever and the Back lever for around 4s-6s each, no planche or handstands.

Also, welcome back.

Maybe the problem could be jumping into the flag, instead of lowering into it from vertical (and overalls have control over the movement), the sudden stress caused by the jump could hurt your shoulder IMO. Then proper warm up and stretching. And increase your shoulder strength a lot (handstand/pike push ups)

[@herc1305]

You probably moved on or got human flag. The first time around of training HF, I injured a shoulder within the first week and stopped completely trying for a couple years. Just restarted recently and the thing I concentrated on getting down solid is 3:50 what Simon calls upright human flag....I call it open Limp flag (because body hanging limp instead of extended out), but what I actually started with was a closed limp flag where the chest is straight towards bars as this is easier on the shoulders. Then I trained open limp flag and then turning from closed to open. I also trained as per the video, human flag plank, legs together and straddled. Early on for both, I was just holding myself there concentrating on position shoulders correctly. Now it feels normal and I know what Simon means about feeling light on the feet. My shoulders feel fine because I just stayed in those two progressions till I just hold my shoulders correctly without really having to think about it.

0:58 the sideways movement.... How do i fix that im going mad !!!! i can keep the flat for around 8 seconds on both bars and pole but on pole it turns. Please some advice.
