Make LEARNING the HUMAN FLAG simple // School of Calisthenics

How do you take complex things and make them simple? You break them down in to smaller, simpler individual components and then build them back up!
The Human Flag is a relatively complex movement and we found it difficult ourselves to get started with it, let alone learn the whole thing in one go when we started our calisthenics journey 4.5 years ago with no prior calisthenics or gymnastic experience at all.
From our training experience and knowledge as strength and conditioning coaches, we've broken this complex movement down into simple components to help you build up progressively towards redefining your impossible. Most importantly, we've created exercises like the stability ball flag to help you bring it all together, allowing you to 'join the dots' of the various broken-down components together!

[@wearethecreatorsofourdesti5496]

sir i have a suggestion, i am a young boy and started calisthenics watching different videos, including yours which were very detailed and logical then others BUT as I progressed day by day I also kept increasing my intensity day by day, PULL UPS , MUSCLE UPS, CLAP PULL UPS, HUMAN FLAGS, TRYING TO JUMP FROM GROUND TO HIGH PULL UP BARS, ONE ARM PULL UPS. But this passion led me to injuries(and hence training stopped since 2 months. Can you do a detailed video on how to avoid injuries in calisthenics and how to train during injuries and after recovering so that next time we don't do such things.

[@chriswatts9227]

I would recommend going and listening to Coach Sommer interview with Tim Ferriss. Why? because he talks about the fact that we often rush. Our muscles can adapt very quickly, but our connective tissue adapts much more slowly, this is often the reason behind a lot of injuries. Just because your muscles can cope with all this new force your asking from them, your joints may not be able to cope so well.

[@god0771]

Amazing tutorial Can you do one just like this on the planche 🙏

[@wearethecreatorsofourdesti5496]

how can weight training help in calisthenics and how should we incorporate it.

[@SchoolofCalisthenics]

It depends what you are doing and why? You can use it to build strength in general but you can build more specific strength for bodyweight movements like human flag with these more specific exercises. Specificity of training is a really key element when new complex movements and there is if benefit for our training to reflect it... or at least that's what the science says and in practise we see exactly the same! Hope that helps? Jacko
