That's good stuff you do here. I especially like it when you criticize your own performance. It's tough to do, but very helpful. It draws attention to those hard to perceive but important mistakes all of us do. Thanks man.
I like the way you don't edit the workouts to make it look like you get every rep absolutely perfect like lots of people do better marker for us mortals
Very nice Tom. Nice to hear your sincere comments on your performance in some exercises. It helps a lot to understand and reassess how we can improve the quality of the movements. Cheers!
How to progress this type of workout? For example it says 3 sets of 5-8. If you did 3 sets of 8 on week 1, what would you do on week 2? Is its best to just go with whatever setup has most volume? For example instead of increasing to 3x9 is it better to do 4x7 or 5x6? Cheers mate love your channel
Those pelican curls surprised me on how tough they really were haha. I started doing them as a progression to one day doing the elevator or Pelican Stage 3.
Hey Tom, just checking out this older video after a reference FitnessFAQ made to pelican curls. I wonder do you still use this interest mobility approach in your training? I understand Coach Sommer from Gymnastic Bodies recommends this approach... Your narration and editing has definitely improved since this series BTW
Yes definitely have changed here. Interset mobility can make you weaker during that session as it essentially shuts off mind muscle connection. I personally do all my mobility at the end of a workout now unless it's needed to perform the exercises. Ah thanks man, always funny when people comment on these ;)
Thx Tom, great videos and very helpful. I'm struggling to find the right set up for the pelican curls, any tips on ring height or starting distance from the rings? Also scapula position? Protracted throughout or do you release and allow to retract when moving forward? thx
+jimmy laremore no worries brother. I'd start with the rings between waist and chest height and standing directly below and then leaning forward to perform the curl. To make it harder you can lower the rings or step backwards :) Definitely scapula depression and would recommend trying to maintain a hollowbody position (protracted scapula) throughout with glutes and core tensed (no bananas). Good luck bro
hey man, awesome video once again! but where did you get those awesome shoes? i am looking for a pair of super light weight shoes for my skill training. i hope you can help me out. keep up the good work!
Thank you dude I appreciate it :) I've been doing a lot of core compression stuff for my handstands so I guess that helps. Lots of parallel bar or floor l sits :)
I'm a little confused about the Pelican Curles as I understand it this is a chest and shoulder exercies and that makes sence, but it is just such a strange movement for what part of the muscles is this optimal?
It's part of the bigger movement of the pelican push up which is mostly shoulders, chest and biceps focused, however, doing just the curl aspect make it more focused on biceps with a little bit of chest. It works nicely, give it a try and see how you like it :)
That stretch bethwen the sets doesnt affect the strenght? Or it isnt hard stretching....and just somthing lighter. I cant tell because i dont know your effort in the video. 😂
So there’s nothing about false grip? I thought it might be good start from beginning using false grip. I just noticed you didnt use false grip with pull ups🤔
Love the video, I subscribed. :). I recently watched a video by FitnessFAQs called Build better biceps video, he does a great version of the Pelican Curl I think you might benefit from. Hope it helps.
Good stuff Tom. Will be nice to hear your thoughts after a few months following a hybrid of BBR + your own training.
Thanks Daniel. Awesome man I'll keep pushing :)
+FitnessFAQs You must be a bit pissed that your selling this program and now it´s free on youtube?
this is a very modified version of his program and just the first phase so not really :) his differs a little from this. well worth the money though
Yeah I already did his earlier program and was haaaaaard
Here they are now making videos together

Ah thanks dude, how can we get better without knowing our flaws ;)

Fantastic video. The rings are the least-used piece of equipment in my gym!
Started doing Pelican Curls recently and do a little step further after every rep because the exercize is really hard
Keep updating on your routine, Tom!
I'm currently doing Rings 1 from GMB, love to see how other programs doing.
+envi sible will do bro! Good luck with yours
"..it makes my shoulders actually look big. Which is kind of cool."
my favorite part, I don't know why 😹
Been trying to find the right positions for the rings on the Pelican and you hit it! Great info!
I'm on my third round of BBR and I find your tips very useful.
Is there a way to watch the videos without having to pay 95 USD? 😢
@@guts5405yes.
Thanks for the workout routine.
Included the exercises in my session today.
Really cool to see someone go through this program. Really enjoyed this video :)
+dexistence19 good to hear bro! glad you enjoyed
great gym. great video. please do more like this brother
Will do bro!

Warm-up is important it also helps you to build up that "mind-muscle connection"
Do it

They definitely are, I have no idea how people do the elevator...
Hi from Japan! I don’t know if you’ll ever read this comment but I wanted to ask you where did you buy your shoes? They look great! Thanks
Your pal in the background wasn't loving those pelican curls

wow, the face pulls are looking really hard!
+La Masia They are but very easy to find a correct progression. Great exercise :)
@@BodyweightWarrior and as always for more grip strength doing face pulls ups you can use towels around the rings 😏
Excellent stuff!
Excellent...
Great stuff mate. Do you do all of the hanging sets only on Pull Day 1?

I'm using Feiyue's in this video. They're a martial arts shoe and great for low profile movement. Can be picked up cheap online :)
How did you progress to such a strong L-sit? Btw, I follow you on instagram, you're pretty awesome :)
Thank you dude I appreciate it :) I've been doing a lot of core compression stuff for my handstands so I guess that helps. Lots of parallel bar or floor l sits :)
I don't feel the rows with rings unless I elevate my feet
Hi Tom, just skimming to you ring videos since I just bought my own rings. I just want to know do you have a beginner's routine for a PPL weekly one?
Team Malunggay if your not at least intermidiate in trainning you shoud do PPL but rather full body or Upper/lower

👍🏻👍🏻
Hiya, do you ever do these in pairs rather than same exercise all in a row?
Great vid! thnx!
Is there an easier variation of a pelican curl? I can't even lower myself on a single rep.
Negatives reps
So there’s nothing about false grip? I thought it might be good start from beginning using false grip. I just noticed you didnt use false grip with pull ups🤔
What is your rest time between sets?
60-120s. More if it's strength, less if it's for hypertrophy :)
Love the video, I subscribed. :). I recently watched a video by FitnessFAQs called Build better biceps video, he does a great version of the Pelican Curl I think you might benefit from. Hope it helps.
What brand of rings are these?
Thanks!
+Vinay Shanbhag I have these :) www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DW2DJOM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
+Tom Merrick thanks man!
Good video. Maybe next time, wear a clean shirt without all those nasty paint stains. Just looks bad
Dude your pelican curls are like flies. Do them correctly like a real curl and then your biceps will grow
