I felt like a total creep doing it, but I reached out to his family member who turned out to be his father. I found him through one of his social media accounts, I don't want to get into details. He said that he's okay and "recovering from an injury". I just asked the bare minimum because I was already feeling super guilty for having invaded someone's privacy. I was worried and am happy to know he's just recovering and probably also decided to quit youtube, maybe all social media, which is not surprising if you've seen his other videos. Thought I'd share this for anyone else who is worried. Dawid if you see this, I am sorry for invading your privacy, I hope you understand why people are worried and good luck wherever you are.
@Ben-io2vo I texted a year ago, I don't know any more details other than what I wrote in the original comment. I asked if he was alive, and his father said: "Of course he is alive". And after that he said he's recovefing from an injury. That's all I got.
I like to believe Dave just decided social media was no longer for him and chose to move on in his life. That he's out there enjoying life, going on his travels, perhaps focusing on a career or family now. The pandemic changed a lot of people's outlooks and priorities in life, even some huge celebrities and musicians decided to step away from their fans and live like a normal person again. Let's all keep the positive outlook that Dave is still around.
I highly recommend watching his second-to-last video where he opens up about the challenges he's faced, including injuries and the mental toll they've taken on him. It seems he was contemplating a break or even a permanent step back from posting videos. This doesn't definitively explain his current situation, but it may offer some insight into his state of mind before going silent.
I really hope he's alright! It was his videos that pushed me to buy my first pair of gym rings since quitting gymnastics years ago. He's better than most coaches I've seen/worked with over the years! Please come back, man.
Hey, just wanted to see if you’re doing ok! I’m not asking you to come back, especially if it effects your mental health, but I just want a sign that you’re doing well. After all, it’s much more enjoyable to see someone who loves what they’re doing rather than someone who is forced into doing whatever that thing may be.
Miss you man. Like everyone said, hoping you're actually ok and in good health mentally and physically. I used to watch you every single morning before going to school as a high schooler. You truly drove me into the fitness sphere more than others. Your humor and calm sit-back videos truly put me in the best mood every morning.
I really miss you! I was watching you when I could do only 5 pullups. You were the one that made me buy rings. Now I can do iron cross and one arm pullups. Come back my man!!!
I just made a little summary and the price for a setup like that collected on your own is like 3 times cheaper if you already have one pair of rings. It's not worth the price at all.
Sometimes I think of you Training Pal... I am in the midst of my journey with getting good on the rings. Thanks to you. I hope you are alright, friend whereever you are. 🥺
As someone who had this kind of thing, I have to say that this is far from a dream. I thought like you that you'd be able to do very specific training at less weight but it's not that awesome. For some skills like rings planche it's not even close to the real thing because it takes away all the balancing. It feels more steady than a floor planche. Hanging weights will swing. This will create wobbly resistance and obsiously you will have to watch out to avoid getting smashed in the face. If you're far from the skill you are trying to mimic, you will end up having to hang a lot of weight, which makes the experience even more terrible. One big thing is the quality of pulleys. You have to have really high end pulleys, preferably on a rotating base, so the rope feeds smoothly. Otherwise you'll be fighting against too much and too little drag all the time. I am, too, guilty of overengineering my training all the time. The fundementals might be boring, but they are fundementals for a reason.
Couldn't agree more. We had it in a gym for gymnasts, it was attached to ceiling 8 meters high but it was still soooo far from perfect. You can't really compare it with normal way of doing these exercises because your center of gravity is slightly shifted and if you try to do some dynamic skills, ropes can get in your way and it could get nasty :D
I just made a little summary and the price for a setup like that collected on your own is like 3 times cheaper if you already have one pair of rings. It's not worth the price at all.
I'm 16 too and using no equipment except a pull up bar. It'll take me longer to master strength exercises but it'll be worth it and I'll have at least something to brag about.
@@unknownun1763 buy rope and pulleys, hang it over wherever it is you intend to use it, measure to be visually similar to how theirs is setup and cut the rope so you have 2 of em same length, tie figure 8 knots for securing rope at each end leaving a loop to hook the carabiners into. Remember to leave some extra rope on the end of your measurements for tying the knots. Use the carabiners to hook into a belt/harness on one end of the rope and the other side clips to the rings. You're good to go! I also bought 3" webbing straps from the fabric store and asked my GF to sew them up into a closed loop, with these you can hook up instead of rings to use a bar attachment, or use the straps for adding additional weights, etc. Maybe ill make a tutorial video?
The way he looked when he said “see you soon” at the end did not sound convincing at all…we don’t know what happened but it seems he may have known we would not see each other soon
@@beactivelifestyle usually when people take a break, they do it maximum for 2-3 months. But yeah you're right he might need more time. Btw are you sure he's taking a break and he didn't quit ?

Trainingpal: There is something even better: the gymnastics rings for climbers. Me: I DON'T CARE! Trainingpal: Dream machine. Me: I CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT THAT.
@@vasilikik8609 No I did not. got the chance to try one in a gym. It's amazing but I realised that my goal is not the most advanced ring skills plus this thing is really expensive
pretty nice tool but over 200 € is way too much. I just spent 30 € on new nice rings. So if I add the rest of the kit it's maybe 110€ or 130€ worth it but not more. Also you can built your own very cheap if you have a harness for surfing/kiting and rings already. Just buy some pullies and carabiner and you are there.
No, a rubber band generates resistance through displacement of position. The assistance it provides tapers of quadratically. Thus there is a guge difference between the assistance at the top and bottom of an exercise. This system will provide the same assistance throughout the whole range of motion. It is far far superior. The greatest thing is that im a climber, and i have a harness, slings, ropes and pulleys. So i can just make this thing at home. That said, the price is not far off from what it might cost you. To build it from scratch with the proper safe equipment would be at least 150 euros.
One more month and it will be 3 years since your last upload. Hey Dave, if you decided to leave UA-cam just make one more video saying goodbye so we can be at peace knowing that you're doing well.
i built, and have been using, a dream machine for a few months. like you mention, it's great as a cable system. for instance, i'll lay on the floor, load the other side up with weights, and train straight arm lat pull downs. I suppose theoretically you could get a full front lever this way, one day you'll just put enough counterbalance that it'll lift you up (i already find it hard to keep my upper body on the floor,so i have to brace or weight myself down). similarly, when doing planche, you can use this to cut the weight in half, when you get to a certain point though, don't use the rings, and instead toss weights on the end. over time you lower the weights until you're using just your bodyweight. These are much better than resistance bands, i think, because its a linear force, and if you use something like power blocks, you can increment it all gradually.
Guys, who knows where is Dave? What happened with him? He just disappeared. Who knows his last name? Write for me? I’ll try to find him! I know that a lot of people would like to see him again!
NOTE: you can fix the rings, and use weights on the pulley's to increase difficultly without having to hang weights from your belt. Check out the site, this is explained in detail.
You can build one. All you need is a pair of rings, carabiners, couple meters of rope, two small cheap pulleys and a cheap used harness. Costed me $40 total without the rings
Thanks for the video! I always look forward to them. You’re always entertaining and informative at the same time. Wish you could put more videos out on a regular basis but I’m sure it takes a lot of time and effort. Thanks again

The price is an insult to the costumer's intelligence.
The Ring Thing from Power Monkey or whatever is unfortunately the same price. You're way better of trying to build these sorta things.
