Dude, gymnastics is no joke!! The unbelievable strength required absolutely floors me!! Tried gymnastics when I was younger, it was way above me! Elite stuff! Props to Chris for giving it his all

Facts

[@philh7808]

I used to attend a weightlifting club there were a few old timers, 60/70 year olds still weightlifting and looking good for their age they started out doing Gymnastics.. what was real funny was their wives thought they were silly for still working out "at their age"...

Jorgie seems like the type of coach that is really passionate about what he teachers. Definitely an amazing coach!

[@AvB.83]

Not gonna lie, seeing Chris Heria struggle like he is almost a normal person felt kind good 😅and it's inspiring to see that no matter what level you're on, there is always somewhere you can go, always a new level, a new combination of skills, of muscles working together, of patterns to learn. Mad respect to anyone in gymnastics, the stuff they're pulling off while keeping a perfectly straight face is insane. (I wouldn't mind a Chris Heria/Nile Wilson crossover next time one of them makes it across the Atlantic 🤔)

[@ZeeshanZakaria]

Gymnastics is a whole new level. Really nice to see who a calisthenics master doing it, we can see the differences in techniques and skills. And Jorgie despite his injury has amazing strength and moves aesthetically like a true gymnast.

[@eigojiyouzu]

You can tell how excited Chris is to be in the position to learn something new since he's mastered his own bit. Being the student is exciting with all the new challenges. Also, this guys the real deal. You can tell he eats, breathes and sleeps gymnastics

[@xprinceduranteofficial9275]

I think calisthenics was derived from gymnastics. Well, combined movements of both equal to SUPER STRENGTH. Great content, Chris. 😀

[@miraanda8357]

Calesthenocs has been around since the romans BEFORE they started the olympics. It WAS gymnastics lol

[@xprinceduranteofficial9275]

@@miraanda8357 , there are tons of Google articles that say gymnastics is older than calisthenics. Gymnastics has been around for more than 2,000 years, but its development as a competitive sport began just little more than 100 years ago. During the 1800s, mass and individual exhibitions were conducted by various athletic and school clubs, as well as ethnic organizations, like the Turnvereins and Sokols. Calisthenics, on the other hand, just copied the basics of gymnastics. You can also see that gymnastics is more of a complex set of movements because they are broader than calisthenics.

[@Oyabu...]

@@xprinceduranteofficial9275 i would think basics are what inspire complicated gymnastics but hey

[@xprinceduranteofficial9275]

@@Oyabu... , I don't think so. You should define "INSPIRE" and look back in the past. Why do you think we got calisthenics movements today? Isn't it because of something that pre-existed thousands of years ago? Gymnastics laid out the foundation, but I do calisthenics moves once every week. I like the planche the most, but we shouldn't take away the credits from gymnastics.

[@PrettyGazi]

Calisthenics is older than gymnastics but it inspired lotta newer movements from gymnastics such as handstands etc

[@TLAudioMixingMastering]

This might be my favorite video Chris has ever put out for the simple fact that it feels real. It's not Chris selling his music, or super slick shots and text...it's just two people appreciating what the other can do. Well done, my dude.

Good to know that there are no short cuts for anyone! Your vibe is super chill, yet the intensity is still there. No wonder you are so popular. Glad to have found your channel. Liked and subbed.

It’s incredible how you can transfer your calisthenics skills into everything else. Calisthenics is definitely the base of every sport. I am 21 and despite I’ve been training with thenx during years and have calisthenics skills, I wondered whether I am too old to start gymnastics training, but you gave me the answer. It would very interesting if you could give us some info about that in the next blog. You’ve been quite an inspiration for me since I was 16 💪 thank you for always being there!

I just got out of class and get the notification for this video and I almost can’t believe it. Chris has been such an inspiration for me and within the last three months I have improved my free handstand from a 7 second hold to a 33 second hold, and I have been documenting my progress. I’ve made so much more progress with his videos than I did when I was in gymnastics from age 6-12. Please upvote this comment so Chris can hopefully see it!
