I see myself as a calisthenics athlete, so i do nordic hamstring curls, Natural leg extentions, pistol squats, etc. to keep my legs strong. The gymnast's approach is different and i respect it!!
Sprints are heavily underrated. They´re not only great for explosive strength, but also the no.1 fat burner if you use them in HIIT training. No matter, if you´re gymnast, calisthenics athlet, bodybuilder or whatever. More people should sprint.
Could you make a video on gymnast grip strenght/forearms ? Thats what always impressed me about calisthenics and gymnastics is how strong theirs hands are.
@@GymnasticsMethod I'd rather do functional and explosive movements on my legs even though I'm not a gymnast. I play sports and explosive speed and pushing off my legs very fast is important to me. Please do a video on some of the movements for legs that floor exercise gymnasts do that recreational athletes can incorporate safely in their workouts without getting injured.
@@ajithsidhu7183 Sleeping like everyone else. Take a day or two off if you wish. I train nearly everyday with something. And just listen to my body if I'm feeling it or not on how intense I go. I do pull ups and work with rings everyday though to varing degrees of intensity. People who say you can't do pull ups everyday have no idea what they are talking about. I may spend a day just doing bar hangs for a easier less intense day. Harder when you would think and tears your hands up. You think our ancestors had lots of time off to survive? No it was a day in and day out grind to survive. Some days I'm not really feeling it I may just mess around for 15-20 mins. But I make sure to do something daily. You'd be surprised how sore you can get from doing different ring excersises for 20 mins.
The ankle exercises of 4 directions is exactly like I did in high school as a football player, I never sprained an ankle until I stopped doing this 4 exercises.
This is one of the best videos about the legs training topic that I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing. A video about how to train the muscles that we don't exercise in basic calisthenics would be great.
This is an excellent vid, I competed back in the 90's and while I trained for all the events, my favorite, and what I was best at, was tumbling. Alot of the training was built around muscular endurance and skills, we would train for three hours a day and while that builds muscle it's not going to bulk you up to your max potential the same way hypertrophy training does. That being said, I got into weightlifting after competing and for the longest time I didn't have to do much to train my legs because of what I gained from gymnastics. All these years I pretty much still don't have to put much into legs. Plus, most gymnasts, not all, but most are short like me, and the shorter you are the easier it is to bulk up, even with that muscular endurance style gymnastics skills training.
This short video has lots of very valuable information. I am going to apply it immediately! Adam is my template for exercise routines, form, skill and strength.
Great video! Would you consider doing a video on how gymnast’s take care of their bone health? Such as eating plenty of cheese or a particular vitamins? The reason is that I just thought of how much impact a gymnast bones and joints take. Thank you and keep up the knowledgeable videos!!
This site is Ultra fascinating. Can't wait to see the warmup video. Yes, the foot walking exercises are so helpful. Life throws curves all the time and anyone could use these strength building skills. On the College Swim Team we trained at the gym 2-3 x's a week and recruited a male gymnast. One day, he was a Model for my Anatomy class. He was thoroughly embarassed but afterward, I said to him, "Your just another Body." It came out wrong because we study the muscles & porportions to correctly draw them. Hint, hint: Anyone want to see my Etchings? LOL! Congrats on a job well-done.
I have a strong background in powerlifting.....but what I wouldn't give to have a Gymnasts' physique and abilities. In fact, that's why I'm here, to start anew and learn. Cheers.
I'm so glad you covered this topic. I was always curious as to how male gymnists train legs. It seems women who train their legs have an obvious different physique. Thanks for the video.👍
But wouldn't it be of a huge advange to have scrawny legs and specialize in the other 4 events that are all about the upper body? Or better yet a double amputee would be unstoppable.
an underrated part is gymnast have very strong hip flexors to do L sits and V sits. A powerlifter or bodybuilder who can squat and deadlift hundreds of kilos usually don't have that hip flexor strength and can't raise their legs like gymnasts
I found your channel today. Much respect for what you teach. I've always mastering you own weight first give you that much more advantage in the weight room. And gives you the best foundation.
Man I wish I could do those amazing flips. I'm thinking about trying out gymnastics, plus I'm going to try doing all those workouts cause I think that's better for my body than most
I put the greatest emphasis on my calves (by doing step full rom raises/ both legs as well as single) :D The least emphasis I put on my quads since I don't need extra mass that would possibly weight me down performing various skills (with the exeption of lateral head which is known as outer tigh). Then I train my inner thighs as well as hips and gluteus minimus and medius (again due to reason I don't want to much mass on my buttocks) :D
Without directly training legs my first gymnastic session (34 years old) absolutely battered my legs, More than squats did in a gym. This was doing mainly front and back tucks and the next day....wow Gymnasts are athlete's, simple as that their all beast's. Gymnastics as well as this channel has made me change the way a train
Please do a video about legs the way you've been doing videos about ab training. I've been trying to build leg strength and explosiveness without making my legs bigger but everything just adds size. Well the weight training I've been doing does.
Too many are overdoing the weights which is their choice. I've noticed for several years how many young people have died just to gain muscle and have people admire them. Too many drugs and other things are pushing the human body way over the body's limit. I simply want to have a life of health and feel good as long as I can. I'm 72 and a half and have had only 1 common cold in 35 years and know how to eat and prepare my meals and have had a life long study in nutrition and looking for ways to still improve my bodies health. Your videos and ways are wonderful. Keep helping people with there health. Thanks.
Great info! I agree that Gymnasts train to develop skills ... not big muscles. Yes, their training does result in some impressive physiques but that's not the goal. The same can be said of course to any other sport. Besides, every time I hear someone say something about skipping "leg day" I look at those huge monstrosities the BB calls legs and want to skip it myself. That kind of freakish development just doesn't do it for me. Personal choice of course.
Steroided bodybuilding*. Without the right stuff you will never grow legs like that, doesn't matter if you devoted your life to training legs and nothing else
I've seen some gymnasts with incredibly impressive legs (even calves) -- not massive, but so well-formed, like ALL the muscles of the legs were used, and not just the ones that might be hit by machines.
I think with a lot of pre-exhaust work on isolation exercises, and hard bodyweight exercises like pistol squats and eventually adding jumps etc. in the mix, a person might build bodybuilder style legs. It might take 2, 3 times the volume but it is not impossible. Simple weights like water canisters, kettlebells or the weight of a training partner might go very long on the road to muscle hypertrophy.
Chicken legs are the best. I wonder if legless people are allowed to compete in gymnastics? I could see a double amputee killing it on the rings and pama horse.
Can relate. As a female ballet dancer, my structure is super short weightless torso + endless extream strong and flexible legs. We avoid heavy legs like the black plague. Actually, there' s a branche-school named after Balanchine wich changes your body shape drastically. At the same time you win strengthness and endurance, quads, sartorius and harms become thinner, elongated, and way more powerful. Otherwhise, we could not raise and mantain our legs neither at 90° neither touching the ear. Calves are unavoidable due to pointe shoes work but not a big issue.
It’s really just a confusion, or lack of understanding, about what certain words, or terms, mean. I think some people confuse hypertrophy with strength. That is to say, the size or striations of a muscle, is commensurate with how strong said subject is. Strength is relative, meaning, one can be lean, or skinny if that makes you happy, and still be strong. One can most definitely look like Ronnie Coleman, and be strong. It depends on HOW you train, and what you are training for. On the flip side of that proverbial coin, one can have big muscles, yet not be as strong as someone who is lean. I think power is often confused with strength. Yes, it stands to reason, one can train to be strong in different ways, but I’d argue that gymnasts, or other such athletes who train for static strength, flexibility, and explosive power, are more completely balanced (strong) than most other athletes. Yes, bodybuilders are strong, without a doubt, however, ask a professional bodybuilder to execute an obstacle course, or a parkour route, and they probably won’t make it halfway through before their muscles just can’t respond in the ways needed to finish. For my money, I’d rather be lean, flexible, and powerful in all angles and body positions, and still be able to move quickly and efficiently. Easier on the joints and all connective tissues, which grossly get neglected when primarily training for hypertrophy. Being strong at the maximum stretch of your connective tissues will make your body much more “bulletproof” and do so much more for your longevity. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
about this topic only... at what frequency should we hit our flexors and extensors muscle groups .... ~~anatomically seeing extensors are supposed to be stronger....(if i am not wronged/ please correct me if I am ) so the main thing... i do more sets of extensors group compared to flexors some 5:4 ratio..... warming up with some atg split lunge then, sandwitching 5 sets of single leg romanian deadlift and 4 sets of archer squats....~~
Bruh your calves are just mind-blowing...there is also a guy on UA-cam JESSE JAMES WEST tryin to get calves as big as your 😝😝😝 Well,in that guy comes me as well
they seem to have a more explosive strength and leg endurance. different than deadlifting heavy, which isn't the best way to support their abilities anyway
I’ve been thinking about sprints lately, I think that as the weather gets nice I will be adding sprints into my training. What do you think about weighted calisthenics like weighted pistol squats, step ups or sissy squats? I have been doing single leg movements for some time however I feel that progress has slowed and is adding light weight with a weight vest something that like an option?
If you want to add weight you stick to simple movements like squat, push up, pull up, dip. They're movements which mostly resemble natural movement of your body. Muscles grow fast but it's the tendons and joints that fail over time with resistance training since endorphins dull the pain. The day after a work out you can't move your arm or on your way home your knee locks up and then you likely need surgery.
Nordic curls and sissy squats when done correctly and at high intensity are incredibly difficult. I would like to see how many high quality Nordic curls a top tier body builder could do. Or how long they could hold a sissy squat in a fully loaded position.
Como cualquier atleta que quiere progresar veo todos tus videos y los aplico a mi deporte que es tratar de clavar en baloncesto y ser algun dia un arquero que ataje penales sin adivinar y sin scouting, por favor te agradecería que hables de las Pistols Squats sus beneficios y desventajas 5:21 Very thanks.
Depends on the types of gymnastic, i cant say im familiar with the sport but if it involves some sort of jumping, you at least need some leg training too.
You cover any mobility and flexibility exercises? Like, split, bridges, shoulder, hamstring, Asian squat/squats, and of course you already cover wrist and ankle. What about those other I mentioned. I think lacking those, person young or older will lose their mobility as we age. I want to be more mobile if I am not too worry about strengths or calisthenics only. Because everyday we always moving. This will help me decide if I want to continue your program or not. Already love your contents.
I have 3 years as a calisthenics athlete and i'm quite strong I can do some skills such as front lever , muscle up , L-Sit and its a matter of weeks to achieve the V-sit and many more . So my question is can I start gymnastics at the age of 24 ?
@@houssamadjerid i do calisthenics too so I'm not an expert whatsoever in gymnastic competition but as far as i can see from olympics or top tier national events, it would be quite hard to start this late. It's like 15-20 years later than most of the athletes competing. Maybe there is some amateur stuff or calisthenics competition which is better suited for the later comers
I'm similar to you, started gymnastics at 23 with 3 years training before. You can definitely compete and get to intermediate level quite quickly (1-2 years). Be careful not to injure wrists/shoulders/ankles as this will set you back and calisthenics doesn't prepare you well for floor/vault/pommel. Like the other commentors say though, don't expect to be competing at international level starting this late, but no reason you can't do well and excel at national or local amateur competitions.
Why not just enjoy the journey? Join a gymnastics gym and soak up all that you can. Be a sponge, learn the techniques and progressions and add them to your tool box. Enjoy the journey and the things you can learn from gymnasts. So much crossover from gymnastics to calisthenics and back. Gymnastics have so much they can add to your knowledge.
I loved body builders untill they started dropping dead like flies lately! Body building was something I couldn't accomplish anyway because everything they put into they're bodies are unaffordable for me so I don't care to look that way. I do love what Arnold accomplished for that sport, but now it's Corporate poisoning period...and they're products only tend to make they're consumers become nuts! I'm 67 yrs old now calisthenics one year in and only eat what I can afford and take no supplements but do have some what I didn't expect...'gains'!Since I was young I always watched the Olympics particular to Gymnast Competition which is awesome! I practice some of the bicep holds during chin ups, I wish I knew this growing up...what a burn! Well it's morning for me to start... Stay Awesome!!!
Im loving calisthenics But man my legs respond like 5x better, they grow significantly faster than my upper body. I literrally skipped them for like 2 years and in just 7 months they reached the same level as my upper body So rn im in a big dilema, my legs make calisthenics harder, but i think that theyre my best part
In facts gymnasts have huge legs especially women have over sized legs. So not sure what year you are in. What I hope you can help with, is providing data on future of gymnasts at older age, and how they live with the injuries, as well as the effects of all pressures and stretches through the years of practice in younger age. Thanks.
What should I do if i am naturally born with huge legs (quads actually), can I be explosive enough and will it be possible for me to perform calisthenis or gymnast static skills ?
I don't think gymnast's legs are skinny, they look(and are) strong. Bodybuilder huge legs are just for "asthetics" not performance, and let's be honest, the most of the time those look freaky.
I know I’m watching the whole vodeo but it seems like it’s a waist of tie at the end Alot of talking but can you make a simple video on work out plan for beginners. Just a workout plan and different exercises that beginners can use. I've watch all your videos and I understand preparation and stretching and the planch. But what exercises can I do for 2 years to get great results. I already working out 2 days a week plus abs Monday to a Friday.
I see myself as a calisthenics athlete, so i do nordic hamstring curls, Natural leg extentions, pistol squats, etc. to keep my legs strong. The gymnast's approach is different and i respect it!!

Wrong. This is 2010 bro science
@@DejiDigital disagree. Also, gymnasts train their arms and legs differently and the results achieved support my claim.
I think explosive training build explosive str as in how much force generate/s and not how heavy can you lift kind of str

....
~~anatomically seeing extensors are supposed to be stronger....(if i am not wronged/ please correct me if I am )

i do more sets of extensors group compared to flexors some 5:4 ratio.....
warming up with some atg split lunge
then, sandwitching 5 sets of single leg romanian deadlift and 4 sets of archer squats....~~
Sounds good! I think 1. compound movements 2. Single legs 3. Isolations which should be evenly trained under normal circumstances

I'm not vegan, so I couldn't tell credible infos on that topic
What about core training
You cover any mobility and flexibility exercises? Like, split, bridges, shoulder, hamstring, Asian squat/squats, and of course you already cover wrist and ankle. What about those other I mentioned.
I think lacking those, person young or older will lose their mobility as we age. I want to be more mobile if I am not too worry about strengths or calisthenics only. Because everyday we always moving.
This will help me decide if I want to continue your program or not. Already love your contents.
Will do
Damn. They should encourage doing gymnastics / calisthenics more in schools and in society in general.
Absolutely. I’m not sure it’s still like that, but russian people in general are great in moving/working out because gymnastics is strong there
6:00 tell that to Jujimufu (UA-cam channel) :D
I have 3 years as a calisthenics athlete and i'm quite strong
I can do some skills such as front lever , muscle up , L-Sit and its a matter of weeks to achieve the V-sit and many more .
So my question is can I start gymnastics at the age of 24 ?
Depends on your goal i guess. Competing? Absolutely not.
Anything else? Yep sure
@@Candy-yh2qq yes i want to compete , that's why i asked cuz those who compete most of them started at a young age
@@houssamadjerid i do calisthenics too so I'm not an expert whatsoever in gymnastic competition but as far as i can see from olympics or top tier national events, it would be quite hard to start this late. It's like 15-20 years later than most of the athletes competing.
Maybe there is some amateur stuff or calisthenics competition which is better suited for the later comers
I'm similar to you, started gymnastics at 23 with 3 years training before. You can definitely compete and get to intermediate level quite quickly (1-2 years). Be careful not to injure wrists/shoulders/ankles as this will set you back and calisthenics doesn't prepare you well for floor/vault/pommel. Like the other commentors say though, don't expect to be competing at international level starting this late, but no reason you can't do well and excel at national or local amateur competitions.
Why not just enjoy the journey? Join a gymnastics gym and soak up all that you can. Be a sponge, learn the techniques and progressions and add them to your tool box.
Enjoy the journey and the things you can learn from gymnasts. So much crossover from gymnastics to calisthenics and back.
Gymnastics have so much they can add to your knowledge.
So after finishing you have no knees right?
This is good but mostly of the “how great are gymnasts and gymnastics” kind and not a tutorial that would be much appreciated
I loved body builders untill they started dropping dead like flies lately! Body building was something I couldn't accomplish anyway because everything they put into they're bodies are unaffordable for me so I don't care to look that way. I do love what Arnold accomplished for that sport, but now it's Corporate poisoning period...and they're products only tend to make they're consumers become nuts!
I'm 67 yrs old now calisthenics one year in and only eat what I can afford and take no supplements but do have some what I didn't expect...'gains'!Since I was young I always watched the Olympics particular to Gymnast Competition which is awesome! I practice some of the bicep holds during chin ups, I wish I knew this growing up...what a burn! Well it's morning for me to start... Stay Awesome!!!
Im loving calisthenics
But man my legs respond like 5x better, they grow significantly faster than my upper body. I literrally skipped them for like 2 years and in just 7 months they reached the same level as my upper body
So rn im in a big dilema, my legs make calisthenics harder, but i think that theyre my best part
Even then I've seen some gymnasts on floor have strong and muscular legs right?
Yes i m interested for you to make a progressive legs training video❤️❤️❤️
In facts gymnasts have huge legs especially women have over sized legs. So not sure what year you are in.
What I hope you can help with, is providing data on future of gymnasts at older age, and how they live with the injuries, as well as the effects of all pressures and stretches through the years of practice in younger age.
Thanks.
💯🙏
Female gymnasts tend to be pretty short. So it may appear that they have huge legs. But the truth is, they just look big because they are short.
Yes, more gymnastic leg training plz🤘
Will come!
But how gymnast can planche with big legs?
Hey Adam! Going to become a member on your site but had 1 Question: Does the Year plan start off with the first 3 months free?
Hey! No, it’s just that much less compared to the monthly membership if you would use that for a year.
Can a person who is 24 years old start gymnastics ?
Yes! With tuition and good programming
It's like saying can you start workoing out if you are 14.
You can start anything at anytime
*24
thanks guys i really appriciate it
Yes, absolutely! Don't think about Olympic level, but sure!
I usually do these in my dreams...
Yeah 😅 I’m lost even watching
Do u need to train 7 hours+ to get as strong as a gymnast?
Absolutely not
What should I do if i am naturally born with huge legs (quads actually), can I be explosive enough and will it be possible for me to perform calisthenis or gymnast static skills ?
Obviously
Hey somewhere i read that the Chinese gymnasts used to be required to do atleast 2x their bodyweight in squat what do you know about this?
Can be different in all gymns but possible
👍
I don't think gymnast's legs are skinny, they look(and are) strong. Bodybuilder huge legs are just for "asthetics" not performance, and let's be honest, the most of the time those look freaky.
Did someone make him angry? 😅
No 😄 but some had to say it 🤣
Killer abs, good video
thank you
I know I’m watching the whole vodeo but it seems like it’s a waist of tie at the end Alot of talking but can you make a simple video on work out plan for beginners. Just a workout plan and different exercises that beginners can use. I've watch all your videos and I understand preparation and stretching and the planch. But what exercises can I do for 2 years to get great results. I already working out 2 days a week plus abs Monday to a Friday.
What the name of this book?
