I'm surprised your lower abs aren't really visible even with this level of strength. I suppose it comes down to bodyfat %. What % do you believe it was at here?
Hey Simon Great and informative video as always Just have two questions How do you progress the difficulty once you can do the straight toes to bar? How do I bridge the gap between the elevated pike push up and the chest to wall Hspu? 👍 Thanks
I've been training these for two years now and progress is really good but they have given me constant (chronic) tightness in my quads and hip flexors. Is that normal? Should I be doing hamstring exercises to counter balance the muscle groups?
That is normal since you engaging those muscles in the movement. a way to fix that is to stretch your hip flexors and quads to get rid of that tightness
Do reverse nordic curls after hanging leg raises and they will stretch out your quads (particularly your rectus femoris) very well while strengthening them further at the same time 😌
Hi, would you recommend fulfilling the full range of motion on ‘straight leg toe to bar’ if you have osteoarthritis in both hips? Will forcing it makes this move easier and benefit me or will it make things worse do you think?
@@SimonsterStrength I have to say, to all your viewers who experience similar arthritic issues but who are passionate about exercise, and even those who aren’t; an inflammatory diet simply cannot be over stated. The freedom of movement I have now as a result of dietary changes is insane. A far cry from 6 months ago. Although I can’t reverse my OA totally you can definitely offset decline my paying attention to your triggers and what you consume on a daily. Thanks for this channel and shalom to all your viewers.🙏
This depends on the progression. It's hard to get the same range of movement as the toes to bar with the dip variation. Most people don't have the shoulder extension range or strength in such a short position for this. With the easier options, it's much the same at the core. However, the upper limb involvement will be slightly different. The dip variation will use the shoulder extensors in a very short position to keep the hips in line with the hands (hence why you may feel sore in your long head of triceps the next day). The hanging variation will work the shoulder extensors in an overhead position. Ultimately, they both train the abs/hip flexors in the same way. I encourage you to use both in your training and consider which better mimics your goals. Supported will be more transferable to the L-sit/planche/V-sit/flares and hanging will be more transferable to the pull-over and backsault.
Perfect way for me to improve my mobility and stability movements I knew shoulders wasn’t the way to lift up its all about that dead hang and now I know to stretch out my hamstrings more often thank you sir
Best explanation and demonstration I’ve seen yet 👍🏻
Love your videos, i thank you very much for your effort. I hope you will keep making them endlessly :)
Bro can you make a video on rotator cuff.
I don't know how did i hurt my rotator cuff.
Loving it Simon. Keep the Beginner & Intermediate Videos Coming. #GOAT

Only honest, not dynamic way to do it properly !
Hey bro, do you have a sitting press to handstand video workout tutorial? I’ve always wanted to do one and I love your detailed explanations. Thx!
THIS is the best video on all of youtube on this exercise! I subbed
Hey Simon Great and informative video as always
Just have two questions
How do you progress the difficulty once you can do the straight toes to bar?
How do I bridge the gap between the elevated pike push up and the chest to wall Hspu?
👍 Thanks
Thanks.
1. Ankle weights.
2. Partial reps of wall HSPU, increase ROM of pike or add weight with a vest.
@@SimonsterStrength Great will definitely integrate these into my training sessions. 👍

@@weetabix2 don’t force it/push into pain, as this could aggravate your OA. As long as it’s not painful, this should be helpful to your OA.

I would appreciate more content for absolute beginners. Thank you very much, great content
how to do pullups or pushups from scratch etc.
Simply do negatives
Greetings from country Vic. Another beastly video mate, great tips. Thanks Simon! Cheers.
Everyone i see doing this is doing it wrong. Including myself. The strict one is next level impossible.
Is there much difference between hanging leg raises on a pullup bar, and leg raises supported on dip bars?
I find them much easier on dip bars. Having your shoulders and upper body more open when hanging seems to make it much more challenging
This depends on the progression. It's hard to get the same range of movement as the toes to bar with the dip variation. Most people don't have the shoulder extension range or strength in such a short position for this.

Hey. I’ve been doing high knee raises with weight, do you think this will lead me to at least bent legs toes to bar?
Perfect way for me to improve my mobility and stability movements I knew shoulders wasn’t the way to lift up its all about that dead hang and now I know to stretch out my hamstrings more often thank you sir
Legit night and day diffrance between a real toes to bar and a crossfit one.
Thank You Simon. You are Master Trainer.👍 Always best video.
When is the next program coming out?
Dead hang or active hang?
Nice tutorial. Can you make a video about the bat hang? or foot hang?
It would be good progression from toes to bar
Maybe after that sit ups from foot hang? also is there a difference in muscle function from Toes to bar?
How do you build the flexibility for this?
Use the stretch referenced in the video
This video is so good, that I want to dislike it before they are disabled, so that activity stays in history!
Makes sense. Not
@@rippawallet Yes. That's what happens when your imagination is dead :)
Anyway we are helping by the activity under the vid, so... win win
@@AlexeyLindenwald nah it's nothing to do with his imagination. Your comment actually makes no sense.
@@frazebean5117 True... But at least I got people to comment on my comment, so now video gets discussion which increases the visibility of the Chanel
