Love how supportive you both are to each other.

[@mygirldarby]

Thank you for not describing their supportiveness as "wholesome."

[@corkaczarownicy]

I am forever impressed by you, David. And also your extremely healthy approach to fitness. Very inspirational.

[@flowbodymethod]

This was solid. Dude had that Baki pose in his back pocket just in case. 👊🏾

[@summerreign044]

Strength vs. Flexibility. Both are needed.

That shadowboxing guy 4:00 looks like me in gym during rest XD

[@iandamato5500]

Bro looks like mickey ward from the fighter

[@ArtbyLilRed]

this vid really proved to me that as far as athletics go, everybody has their own strengths. Im not super athletic at all (maybe just mildly fit) but it's so wild seeing a dude who is crazy strong like that not be able to do a standing backbend- but i can? Haha but then if you ask me to do a pull up, i couldnt do a single one 😂 its so crazy and really shows how differently everyones bodies are built 😮

[@i_want_my_shuggah]

Bro, if you can't do a single pull-up, you better be working on your relative back strength. Even bodybuilders can do (average) 8-10 pull-ups.

[@ArtbyLilRed]

@@i_want_my_shuggah my back strength is good imo; I just have noodle arms because I don't work them out and I'm a small female. I can do a hundred situps in one session but no pullups 😂 I'm 5'2 and 110 lbs I just have really weak arms lol. Even though most women can't do pullups it would still be cool to be able to do a couple eventually. I struggled a lot with this when I was the only girl in my parkour classes. The boys had no issue pulling themselves up onto structures but I couldn't do it most of the time because that's not where my natural strength is. Now, if I could pull myself up with just my legs, that would be a different story 😂

[@i_want_my_shuggah]

@@ArtbyLilReddayum, I just took measures of myself and we are just almost exactly the same height and weight (though I'm lighter than you). I can do between 12-14 chin over the bar pull-ups with prone grip (good form) and recently surpassed +6 pistol squats with both legs. Can you do pistol squats?

[@arialindsey1811]

@@ArtbyLilRedI am a woman, and after seeing my brothers pull themselves up so easily, I decided to learn. It took me about 6 months though… and I can only do one

[@HkFinn83]

With pull ups imagine your hand and arms as just ‘hooks’ and try to pull with your back muscles

[@KFoxtheGreat]

I love how encouraging they both are. It's so wholesome

[@mygirldarby]

No offense, but youtube has made me hate the word wholesome. It used to mean nutritious and healthy. Now it seems to mean kind or uplifting. Can't people just say it's uplifting? Why does everyone have to say wholesome? It's almost as bad as "let's go!" Maybe I just hate internet fads.

[@KFoxtheGreat]

@@mygirldarby I apologize in advance, you found my special interest. To me that's one of the coolest things about language. It's constantly changing and updating. Back when Mark Twain was around, he used "wholesome" as a synonym for "safe," which I feel like is closer to the current usage than "a complete and wholesome breakfast." So it changed to being about food and now is swerving back to a broader definition. For me "uplifting" doesn't quite capture the endearing nature of inspiration I find from this video, so I went with "wholesome" because I think it fits the exact coziness and joy that this pair supporting each other gave me. In a decade, "wholesome" might mean something completely different from any of these uses because the world si.ply might need it to mean something else. But that's just language and it's kind of amazing that it adapts to our culture and society and what it needs when it needs it like that!

[@BigGirlFitGirl]

I love the videos you do with other types of athletes. So interesting how two people’s bodies can work so differently depending on how you train. The big guy is my fav though! Love you guys together!

[@lukes3667]

I could watch videos like this all day! It's like a game of skate but with exercises

[@wrenwry]

Absolutely loving this series, great concept!

[@PBRAEF]

he pushed out of that dragon squat like it was nothing! thats crazy

[@daniellemoya-mendezilling2591]

Really appreciate the humility and camaraderie during this video, y'all are so inspiring! 💪

Love the collab!! I hope you enjoyed your time in Hawaii, David!

[@BeefyBidoof]

Him trying to nail the back bend is hilarious, for him too😂😂

[@halamusallam709]

War schön euch beide zu sehen ❤ ihr seid amaaazigly strak und flexible💪🔥

[@lonew2657]

It's clearly the body mechanics training that's lacking from both of you guys. Love the Ganbaru and plan on using it

[@onebaddj]

Just wanted to say thank you again. What I have learne hear has even improved my dart game. Kep the hips flat!

[@kelleyforeman]

Because of you, I tried standing pancake at yoga tonight. I can do it!! I could only go as low as the width of my mat, though. I need to find a longer mat!

[@hobbes3]

Good high five count.

[@alexisespinoza-desjardins6362]

For the baki pose, you can try lifting yourself up on your fingers with your non-dominant hand. It’s mostly a balancing skill, so you can train it as you would a handstand, though you really have to nail that sweet spot. Ask someone to help you stay in the same position until you have enough stability. That tip about the hand facing your legs is to prevent swinging. Once you get yourself on one arm, you might rotate around it, so you can try to shift your weight toward the ground, hips up. Good luck.

[@SebastianSchachner]

I feel like i am progressing negatively with my flexibility 😢

[@EricGonzalo]

Such wholesome flexyness

[@user-rm2pg1so5t]

You are amazing David ❣️

Being able to havee both flexibility and strength is an absolute win

[@rakuengrowlithe4654]

Finally, a calisthenics athlete who hasn’t skipped leg day

[@thejohan1415]

David i had a question your hips flexibility and legs flexibility are amazing even your shoulders are really awesome but when we compare to your back bend its significantely lower why is that so? Do you not train it often or you had a previous injury ? Ofc im politely asking and not trying to hate i love all your videos and your good vibes man much love ❤❤

[@Serena-or7sl]

He had a back injury, yes

[@Sushalpandey]

Really enjoyed it great collaboration 😄

[@Call_me_Fred]

the title is crazy 🔥

[@azurebleu2934]

BRO I SAW YOU FROM THE BUS AND I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING MY MIND!🤣

[@WillyEast]

Do you have programs or coaching for handstands? For now I just want to learn the handstand stuff.

[@Rob1066-]

Legit science in action

[@itscool770]

That last one was like a one handed side crow. Bend your elbows a bit to make them like a shelf for your legs then try lifting your arm.

[@Noneya409]

This would be the dream team of personal trainers. One works on your overall strength and the other on your overall flexibility.

[@michaelwells8412]

Ralph's standing pancake was awesome, shouldn't have lost the point even if David's was lower and more stable

[@000Krim]

The app thing is really tempting

[@mostlyfriendly222]

Found Xero shoes thanks to your vids.. thanks!

[@kamruzzamansirajiathoy2933]

I wonder how good you'll be as a martial artist With that flexibility you'll be kicking heads💀

[@angelmeier4382]

This serie is so fun to watch. I'd like to see you David with a martial arts athlete. I'm interested in martial arts and seeing you try it on YT would be so fun. I'd like to see you learning how to kick with proper form.

[@Rob1066-]

Great content! David ya gotta work on the functional strength. Raph is a master of functional strength.

[@aaronjohnson6622]

I have some body parts that are extremely tight and when I stretch these muscles, they tighten up. So I stretch them lighter and they tighten up. Then I stretch hard and they tighten up. I rest and they stay the same. For some muscles, I can stretch like a normal person but for others it's not so simple. I have to find what works and I would benefit from you explaining this in depth if possible. I appreciate your content

[@rudygarcia5546]

Shoutout to the guy who was shadow boxing in the background

[@zombbae]

I’d like to see you guys try it more than 3 tries. Actually learn it don’t quit!

[@marzero116]

Yeah that backwards shoulder grab pull-up bar thing was insane

[@brucedavid7231]

That reverse grip jump really is impressive

[@FizzlNet]

How to get into flexibility training in my 40's? I used to be somewhat athletic wayyyy back, but 20 years of sitting at a computer has made me a literal potato.

[@mouthguardcomic]

I was thinking, the whole time, that Raph would be good at BJJ. Then he said he has been training for 10 years. Good stuff!

[@MovementbyDavid]

I don't think Raph even knows how impressive he is

[@mouthguardcomic]

@@MovementbyDavid You too my friend!

I'm trying to work on both of those attributes.

[@AG-yj1jv]

Woah.... I'm 57. Not rebuilding as well after surgeries...How about featuring older folks focused on becoming flexy

[@matejmotuz108]

I don't think age changes much , maybe progression speed

[@JH-zr8lo]

At 57, I was still able to build strength and flexibility, but now a 64, everything is slower. I am happy to maintain even without major gains and no injuries. I challenge with new skills vs conditioning to keep it interesting.
