My Human Flag Journey

In this video I show my journey of learning the human flag from zero to flag. It was a difficult process with a lot of ups and downs. However a year later I got it done. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

First??Maybe a pin😮😮

[@colinmurrayYT]

You were second but I gotchu!

[@Corrupted-file]

@@colinmurrayYT Supporting the underdog; nice. That flag was sweet brother. 🤘🏼 (Not as sweet as that jacked squirrel flag, just sayin’)

[@jTiKey]

If I'll ever see crooked street signs I'll know Colin was there

[@colinmurrayYT]

😂😂

[@Strengthside]

Yo dude props on this. I've always used the excuse I'm too tall to work on this one. This video piqued my interest!

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thanks it’s definitely a valid excuse I used it too but I think this one is doable for us tall folks. Good luck training!

[@anoopchandra.7506]

Collin Murray ! I admire you bruv !

[@vzdarte3524]

Hi! I watch this video again and was surprised that the first time I watched it I didn’t notice that you were 6‘3“ tall! A lot of our weight is below the waist. The longer the legs, the heavier they are. On other videos of people doing the human flag, they appear to be shorter in stature, thus having less weight to lift. Colin, this is an amazing accomplishment! Kudos to you! I really enjoy your videos, and the wonderfully kind spirit that goes along with them! Thank you for being so entertaining!

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thank you so much. Yeah it makes it like 100 times harder especially for this one. I got it though! I’m glad you like the vids I hope to make more in the future.

[@AAbiolAA]

Bro got the Norman Osborn waves 🌊 😮‍💨 love the persistence in this vid. Keep it up!

[@jaycoop85]

Nice to see more tall guy content.

[@colinmurrayYT]

Yessir!

[@vincenzobersanoze5718]

Your video style is as always refreshing and humble. Props to you. You are one of the best cali ytber out there.

[@dugie9]

As someone who is also 6’3 and struggles with push ups… this just gave me so much motivation. You’re like a superhero for the human mind in perseverance

[@aisosaobano7038]

I started this process in a similar matter, after 4 weeks I can now hold the position for like 2-3 seconds. But man at 6’6 220 lbs it’s really tough to keep it going. I’m still going to work on trying to maintain the position for at least 5 seconds and hopefully get there by December. 😅 Also love the content!

[@colinmurrayYT]

Damn I got mad respect for you bro, 2-3 seconds at your height takes insane strength. I think you’ll get it this month. Good luck and thanks!

[@galaxy9689]

how is it going?

[@aisosaobano7038]

@@galaxy9689I was actually able to do it, but only 3 times so far so not really consistent. Honestly I’m just happy to achieve 5 seconds even though I barely made it towards my goal. The hardest part is keeping that motivation going while not gaining weight which unfortunately I did halfway through the month. 😅

[@aisosaobano7038]

@@colinmurrayYT Late response but you were right i was able to get it. Now it’s all about trying to do it consistently which is another struggle. Really appreciate the motivative words!

[@nightshade7092]

This is why I love calisthenics. It’s not about just increasing the amount of weight you can lift over the years, you unlock insanely cool skills like this and the journey towards unlocking them can be so humbling but rewarding. I wonder where I’ll be in 5-10 years with calisthenics, super exciting

[@colinmurrayYT]

Yes I 100% agree! Good luck on your journey bro🙌

[@SonGoku5363]

bunsen burners killed me more than it shouldve, totally forgot about those

[@colinmurrayYT]

Lol fr best part of 8th grade

[@mastershooter64]

I'm glad I found your channel man, I love doing decline push ups! Thought my knee and my left wrist started hurting so I'm taking a break for a month

[@colinmurrayYT]

Yeah listen to your body. Hope you get back to it soon!

[@pt31]

Amazing as always! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thank you!!

[@SuprEmpth]

This was a good video. You’ve gave me ideas on exercises and places I could go to use the equipment similar to what you used. I guess it’s going to be harder than I thought. Good job.

[@pdruiz2005]

Awww...I missed those Greek god/Roman emperor curls in ginger. That and your no-nonsense, straightforward humility. LOL. Thanks for posting new content!

[@colinmurrayYT]

lol thank you I appreciate that, and it’s good to be back more coming soon!

[@parth1360]

It was fun to see you just flying away as a flag 🤣

[@colinmurrayYT]

It was a windy day😂😂

[@NicholasDyudin]

Cool guy. Good job.

[@Jen999]

Colin.. this one made me cry.. when you got the human flag after more than a year of hard work.. what an inspiration you are🌹 This is your best type of video.. in which you show what is needed to achieve a goal you dearly want.. Watching you is watching resilience and perseverance personified.. so beautiful to see.. Totally awesome is this exercise.. and totally awesome are you🌹 Jen999💙

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thanks Jen! I’m glad you liked it they take awhile to make so it’s good to see you enjoying them.

[@Arpit0011]

I really admire you a lot as im a 6'1 skinny guy . Seeing you so jacked at 6'3 really inspires me . Thanks a lot ❤️

[@blooptev]

good shit king. I was thinking of training this skill next spring/summer because there's an outdoor park with stall bars near me! I definitely need to gain some muscle and strength first though.

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thanks and you should, it’s a lot better to train with stall bar too. I wish I had a park like that!

[@brunofrance4776]

Nice work man. Thanks for the inspiration

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@Ishaan66SH]

A great video a year in the making

[@yisochen8269]

Wow, it's good to see all ur effort pay off!!

i love your content collin !! keep it up and congrats on the human flag

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thank you bro! Will do!

[@vzdarte3524]

Congratulations! Well done!

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thank you!

[@shuyaoffical8009]

Do a video on training strength and applied strength. That'll be interesting to watch and learn your opinions on it!

[@Artsy_A1]

Love your videos bro. Could you make a video about improving in basketball.

[@joffreyyph9114]

congrats man!!

[@colinmurrayYT]

Appreciate it! 🤝

[@Ahky28]

Great video! This is so inspiring. That inspiration got me a little too hyped and made me did excessively on my first ever pull day i guess. Can you do a video about popping shoulders and injuries in calisthenics in general as well as how to prevent or cure them? Many beginners such as myself will surely find it useful. (My shoulder pops when i rotate it, no pain though. But when lift stuffs it hurts a little)

[@Idontfeelsooof]

Its a crazy accomplishment what you do, being tall and doing handstand is kinda crazy, its alot easier when you are short

[@Awesomenes4L]

Great job! You have persistence

[@colinmurrayYT]

Thank you! 🙏

now are you going to build more muscles or are you going to keep that physique constant? My respect towards you sir.

[@dasharathchoudhary-ns3rr]

i am from india i really see you content and its very good but my age is14 what if i do abs workout my height will nit grow

[@AshSG.]

Question when doing pistols or other one leg exercises I have trouble going down in your opinion what the best way to grow confidence

[@julanwardenier4658]

can you train for this while training for a marathon as well?

[@colinmurrayYT]

Totally it targets your upper body and probably won’t affect your running at all!

[@snowdragon1732]

what cardio do you perform indoors like if it's too cold outside but still want to get your heart rate up a little?

[@ChrisBakerNY]

awesome

[@hiddeninplainsight1]

gorgeous ❤

[@izakkanter4459]

Lol, I am 5 6 and can hold it for 2-3 seconds without any special training. Calisthenics is a lot more lenient on short people

Lol yeah science is definitely on your side
