hey man do you have any tips on how to achieve planche press? i guess you guys didn’t talk about it, you can do it and i don’t find any good tutorial at all on youtube! i guess thats because its hard and not many people can do it
@@tstreino To be able to do planche press to handstand, you need two things: a solid planche, and a solid press to handstand from l-sit. I recommend you build your pike presses from l-sit on parallel bars to at least sets of 10, and then add ankle weights to make them harder. I strongly believe they're a basic core exercise for gymnastics and are super important. Next, you'll want to make sure you have a strong planche. If you have good presses, anything above 10 seconds with very clean technique (no shoulder sagging) will probably be good enough, but it's always good to build to longer holds and also be able to add weight to your planche. For the planche press technique in itself, you can then start doing straddle planche presses, either with closed hips or open hips. Then as you get better at them, you just open your hips and get your legs closer together. But if you already have a strong pike press from l-sit and a strong planche, you'll likely be able to just do a planche and then press to handstand from it without doing much specific work at all.
By far, one of the best videos you've put out with so many informational gems. Matter of fact, I'm gonna watch it again just in case I missed something. Thank you!
Thanks for video Daniel , I can't wait to get the time to watch this video in it's entirety , As I love to get any insight into the top athletes training philosophies
Jo! I would see him at Origins Parkour In vancouver pretty often. Amazing strength and balance. Was always a pleasure to talk with about skills that are far from my reach. Seeing the one arm handstands and planche always amazed me.
The release of this video could not have been at a better time! I have been recently starting to learn the one arm handstand and this will be very useful!
love how you bring to light keyboard worriers who have seen better form and then correct yours but they dont even understand ho it works for real the diff between seeing handstands and learning them are worlds apart
I know its gonna be a great day when i see fitnessfaq video notification🙂 I have been doing bodyweight training from last 6 months and this video will definitely help. Thanks mate👍
Hey Daniel, I really like your Videos and knowledge that you are sharing with us. But there is one little thing I wish you would do for us. When you ask for weight or height of somebody I can estimate what those measures mean but I would really appreciate it if you would translate it in metric system. Maybe when you edit the video. Thanks A big fan of you
This was interesting to listen to, I learnt a lot. The reason why I do 4 exercises to learn one exercise was for progressive overload. Eg. Archer Push Up Workout: - 3 sets Archer Push Ups - 3 sets Weighted Push Ups - 3 sets Push Ups - 3 sets (exercise that targets the weakest point in my Archer Push Ups) Is this wrong?
If you were able to really focus on every single set and make every set count, it's not wrong. And that depends on the volume. Personally, I would have removed the regular push-ups and just kept the archer push-ups, weighted push-ups, and maybe the exercise for your weakest point, depending. But in all of that, I tend to think that the most valuable exercise was the weighted push-up. A lot of it is placing your energy in the right places, and not dilute it too much.
Great video as always man, thanks for the awesome content! But I gotta say this: Am I the only one here wondering what does John do for a living? I mean, for a man to be training 11 hours a day, he must be some sort of heir, right? I have two jobs, and being able to consistently train for about 45 minutes a day, 6 times a week, is the ultimate win for me, because that's freakin' hard!
I used to perform and coach in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I always tried to live for as cheap as possible, and as soon as I had money saved up, I moved to Montreal where living is more affordable. I was also well paid in Vancouver, usually not having to work more than 20 hours/week, mostly due to living as cheaply as possible. I also never lived on my own, I always had roommates or lived with my girlfriend. My advice, to find time training, is this: live as frugally as your training allows. Avoid all unnecessary costs. And make sure that every single hour of work you do brings you as much money as possible. For you, working two jobs, the first step is probably not finding more time to train in the first place, but see if you can decrease your living costs and see what you can do to increase your value as a worker. That might entail moving somewhere else. Then once you have a situation where you have fewer expenses and are getting better paid, see how much you can decrease your working hours. That extra time you gain will be the time you have for your training. But again, I don't know what is possible in your situation. I don't know where you live and what skillset you have. Speaking of which, it can be worth looking into what skillset you can gain in order to make more money while working less.
Be careful to not forget you're interviewing him for us. I guess just don't get so eager to share your extensive knowledge when the point is to hear their perspective, and a couple times it seems you were asking questions, not necessarily listening to the response but just seeing if they fit your checklist perspective that you already have set in stone. I know you're not a kind of close-minded guy Daniel, but just thought this could change your interview's vibe on those subtle places, ironic mention of the keyboard warrior and all that jazz, but it is what it is haha, ill take the hit and hope to help. Thanks for this awesome hard work.
Isn't he contradicting himself? At one point he mentions to pick few exercises instead of doing different variations of pushups and so on but for isometric holds he mentions to tackle it on many fronts. In Daniel's planche progression we also saw him doing a lot of different similar planche variations, some static and some dynamic work.
It's because isometric holds are not that taxing compared to big exercises like squats or overhead presses. We tend to recover faster from planche, and from my experience it's not worth training it until we are blasted to oblivion, so we can do it more frequently. Since we can do it more frequently, it is good to pick 2-3 approaches that we do a little bit of regularly, and that should cover the shortcomings of each other. Isometric holds are good to practice holding a position and get used to it. They are also good to focus on maximum muscle recruitment at a specific angle, but already, that means a short duration hold for maintaining maximum contractiong, and a longer one to get used to the position. But neither is good at adding muscle mass specifically for the exercise, so it's worth adding a few sets of an isotonic exercise, since they are better at that. On big, taxing exercises, you couldn't do something like that without having to decrease the quality and quantity of your work. Also, if you did 3x60s tuck planche, followed by 3x60s planche leans, followed by 3x60s holding dumbbells at a planche angle on your back, followed by 3x60s straddle planches with band assistance... That's redundant, and the problem is redundancy rather than using different tools for different purposes.
It depends on how many skills you have to practice, how much you focus on it and how much punishment your body can take. But other than that, generally speaking, you can repeat it until you start going to the wrong side of the learning curve. That is, when your attempts stop being fruitful in terms of improvement or learning.
Love your videos. Consistently great content. In this video, I would suggest varying or eliminating the background music. It became monotonous and somewhat distracting.
The wrist supports are a type of gymnastics wrist bands, with wool socks cut offs to keep the wrists warm. The reason for using them is to reduce the load my wrists bear on pushing exercises, because I use them a lot and wrist soreness is the main limiter to my hand balancing training. I used not to wear any, but I found that my wrists were in overall better shape if I did. But I prefer not to wear them for handstands, they get in the way. For handstands, if you see me wearing something, it'll be just the wool socks, and the idea is to keep my wrists warm longer to prevent soreness.
@@wandererstraining Really appreciate the reply, thank you! Currently don't think I need them, but I am going to move onto some harder movements later in the year and will deffo invest in some.
@@timiland5881 Just make sure what you use doesn't restrict your movement, unless that is the point. For the wrist warmers, I just cut some old tube socks.
The blocks I like using are 4.5" wide x 6" long x 2.5" high, but I also have 3.5" and 4" wide ones. Essentially, you are looking for something that will support your whole hand once you grip it. For me, that's a two fingers in front grip, and I make sure my pinky knuckle is supported.
I asked the late Charles Poliquin his opinion on the open vs closed kinetic chain and he said it's complete bullshit and irrelevant. Strength is strength regardless if it's an external load or your own body.
Hi! Could you give us a video on how to train your inner abdominal muscles? Even though my belly fat is small I still look like fat from aside but underneath there is a 6 pack :D I knew Arnold train those muscles that's why he had such a flat stomach. So if you know anything about these exerceses I wouldn't mind if you shared them :)
Arnold trained the transverse to keep his stomach in and remain able to do a vacuum pose. In the case of abs that are not visible, it's a matter of getting lean enough for them to be more defined. But training the transverse and getting used to doing somewhat of a vacuum pose and carrying yourself like that will give a different look to your waist and stomach. It just won't really add definition.
@@wandererstraining I'm late to the party but I will still give it a try. What are you plans with training so much, if you don't mind me asking? Do you plan on becoming very good at this (saying you already are is an understatement) and then coaching some more, building a brand, etc. or are you just doing it for yourself? Also, it's been a year since this video aired: are you still training 9+ hours a day?
@@amrushaban8236 Hi! I am still training quite a bit, yeah. I would say, 8 hours/day. Progress is slow, but it is there. I am training for myself, but also because I want to figure out how to do everything that interests me. I love figuring it out. And I want to be one of the best so I can be as legitimate as can be for coaching my students to a high level. I'm not very interested in business and marketing. To be honest, if I could, I'd have nothing to do with it whatsoever. So I don't really want to build a brand. Rather, I just want to be strong AF, so that whenever I go, I kick ass and people want to learn from me, ha ha.
@@wandererstraining gotcha! Well, I hope it goes well for you. I have just read around here that your plan was to train as much for a fairly short period of time, get very good for performing, then start doing that. I guess you meant the circus but correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, that was a year ago. With your reply now, you made it seem like you don't consider performing anymore. Is that right? And if so, what are your current goals (aside from being strong AF hehe) and what lead to the change in goals? Hope you don't mind all these questions. I just find it very inspiring and would like to learn more about what motivates you to literally make training the biggest part of your life.
@@amrushaban8236 My plans have to change because of Covid. If I can perform, I will. But for now, it seems like performing isn't very viable. It will probably be in the future. We'll see! Also, I intend to return to Vancouver next year. My girlfriend lives there, and I'll have been gone for three years.
Not a lot was asked about that, but essentially I'm doing this for a limited period of time. I stopped working, came back to my hometown and am just focusing on training for a while, and then I'll look for performing work. Most of that training consists of handbalancing.
@@GabeWeymouth No worries! In any case, I definitely don't recommend people do that. I think that when mixing multiple disciplines, most people will be good with 3-4 hours training sessions at an intermediate and even advanced level. Past that, the returns really diminish, and you kinda have to want to go balls to the wall to do full-time training, and I would only recommend it for people who don't actually have mental issues related to training, have a good grasp on how to preserve their health and have specific enough goals that make something like that necessary.
Exactly. I'd rather be homeless and be able to train (as long as I have food) than work a lot and never have time to train. It holds true for pretty much everything people want to achieve.
Does this mean you will stop promoting a billion exercise for every muscle group :-)? No offence, what you do is impressive. But the number of exercises your promote is totally overwhelming IMO.
If you are quite advanced, it makes sense to isolate your weaknesses and focus on them and that might require some very specific exercises. But as a beginner, everything is weak so just stick to the basics like pullup, dips, squat, deadlift, row, lsit and pushup and you will develop a solid foundation.
16:00 to 17:20 lol 😂 he even mentions keyboard warriors. This is for you Fassies & Neeks , that turn up on ALL push up vids, where like someone has done 60 to 100 push-up . And then you add in the comments Nu one of those counted as the didn't lock out there arms OR their form was bad as their chest didn't go to the ground . All this while typing on a smart phone which has a camera for recording and claiming they form is better in the gym or they lift heavier but never post a recording or any of their rests or sets.... Cue the Grammar Police
Ha, this is actually very recent! Prior to this, I used to go at a very good gym in Vancouver, and prior to that, I just trained outside mostly. You don't need to train like a prisoner to get a one arm handstand.

I am training for myself, but also because I want to figure out how to do everything that interests me. I love figuring it out. And I want to be one of the best so I can be as legitimate as can be for coaching my students to a high level. I'm not very interested in business and marketing. To be honest, if I could, I'd have nothing to do with it whatsoever. So I don't really want to build a brand. Rather, I just want to be strong AF, so that whenever I go, I kick ass and people want to learn from me, ha ha.
@@wandererstraining gotcha! Well, I hope it goes well for you. I have just read around here that your plan was to train as much for a fairly short period of time, get very good for performing, then start doing that. I guess you meant the circus but correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, that was a year ago. With your reply now, you made it seem like you don't consider performing anymore. Is that right? And if so, what are your current goals (aside from being strong AF hehe) and what lead to the change in goals?
Hope you don't mind all these questions. I just find it very inspiring and would like to learn more about what motivates you to literally make training the biggest part of your life.
@@amrushaban8236 My plans have to change because of Covid. If I can perform, I will. But for now, it seems like performing isn't very viable. It will probably be in the future. We'll see! Also, I intend to return to Vancouver next year. My girlfriend lives there, and I'll have been gone for three years.
Why would you train 10 hrs a day? What is the goal here? I missed what he's training _for_.
Not a lot was asked about that, but essentially I'm doing this for a limited period of time. I stopped working, came back to my hometown and am just focusing on training for a while, and then I'll look for performing work. Most of that training consists of handbalancing.
@@wandererstraining ok. That puts it in a bit more context. Thanks!
@@GabeWeymouth No worries! In any case, I definitely don't recommend people do that. I think that when mixing multiple disciplines, most people will be good with 3-4 hours training sessions at an intermediate and even advanced level. Past that, the returns really diminish, and you kinda have to want to go balls to the wall to do full-time training, and I would only recommend it for people who don't actually have mental issues related to training, have a good grasp on how to preserve their health and have specific enough goals that make something like that necessary.
@@wandererstraining I agree. 3 hours sessions are really good for sustainable training and skill building.
turn on captions and look at the start of the video lmao
0:15 lol the captions toh

The thumbnail looks photoshopped tho.
that's balance more than power 🙄
For most of the handstands stuff, yes it is.
I can't stand the "If I had time" excuse. If you care about something you will MAKE time.
Exactly. I'd rather be homeless and be able to train (as long as I have food) than work a lot and never have time to train. It holds true for pretty much everything people want to achieve.
Hello bro

Does this mean you will stop promoting a billion exercise for every muscle group :-)? No offence, what you do is impressive. But the number of exercises your promote is totally overwhelming IMO.
Basics are the best. Push ups,dips,pull ups and squats.add weight to those exercise to increase difficulty.
If you are quite advanced, it makes sense to isolate your weaknesses and focus on them and that might require some very specific exercises. But as a beginner, everything is weak so just stick to the basics like pullup, dips, squat, deadlift, row, lsit and pushup and you will develop a solid foundation.
Salut hello
16:00 to 17:20 lol 😂 he even mentions keyboard warriors. This is for you Fassies & Neeks , that turn up on ALL push up vids, where like someone has done 60 to 100 push-up . And then you add in the comments Nu one of those counted as the didn't lock out there arms OR their form was bad as their chest didn't go to the ground . All this while typing on a smart phone which has a camera for recording and claiming they form is better in the gym or they lift heavier but never post a recording or any of their rests or sets.... Cue the Grammar Police
Basically you need to build a gym in your house
ayoub Guez if you want to one armed handstands.
Ha, this is actually very recent! Prior to this, I used to go at a very good gym in Vancouver, and prior to that, I just trained outside mostly. You don't need to train like a prisoner to get a one arm handstand.
It’s been a pleasure sleeping with you...😏

truth bomb: its thanks to his height that he can do this
