    8:57 ''you need to contract your lower back, butt muscle and glutes'' you meant to say hamstrings instead of the glutes? because the glutes are the butt muscle.

    • @mrkiky

      Do you really need a breakdown of the basic movements? You usually get good isolation with those so it's pretty obvious which muscles are used. Plus most people can do them so you can tell which muscles are getting pumped after the exercise or sore the next day. Not like those difficult static compound holds where it may not be obvious at all.
      Pretty easy to deduce, anything that pulls your arm inwards is chest, outward is upper back, up is shoulders, down it's lats/chest.
      Arm extension -> triceps, arm flexion-> biceps.
      Knee extension -> quads, Knee flexion -> hamstrings.
      Ankle extension -> calfs, Ankle flexion -> shin muscles.

    Constructive criticism: try to involve more emotions into your video. This way the attention of a viewer will skyrocket drastically.
    Could you explain what is happening with your neck in those movements and in general basics in Calisthenics? I Noticed me thinking too much about neck procedures during Calisthenics.
    Just realised that the video was made 5 years ago. Wow.

    I’m so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shit is no joke. I keep pulling my shoulder muscle lol not funny I know but.. I’m just saying.. it’s hard and getting hurt sometimes proves your hard work. I just don’t know when to stop even when my body can’t do a single push up, I keep trying to go and workout like an asshole lol. Oh well. Thanks for the video!! It helped

  • @Vasyaliske
    @Vasyaliske 7 років тому +1

    Thank you! It's great and informative video as always! I would also add that hollow body position is important in all cases where the back is under load (front AND back lever, planche etc.). That is because abs contraction flattens the back. On the contrary in the "banana" holds back muscles have mechanical advantage (they are in a shorter position), but bones and joints of the lower back are under excessive load, which is unhealthy and can cause lower back pain.

  • @justinzhang6883
    @justinzhang6883 5 років тому +9

    I like how you break down the usage of band in applying the movement which really is helpful. To other experts who are against the band, I personally find band is really helping correct the form and make faster progress. Don’t get me wrong, individual is different , so may strong enough to not apply the band , but most do need assistance via bands

    • @VietSouthen
      @VietSouthen 4 роки тому

      Yes! To me, bands help me improving the form and understanding the necessary muscles. But i don't use bands as main exercises.

    @Leonidas-eu9bb 4 роки тому

    so in a planche elbow joint strength shouldn't be a limiting factor? My planche isn't working because of my elbows (distal biceps) but not because lack of shoulder or posteiror strength i think.

  • @herc1305
    @herc1305 2 роки тому

    I'm switching from using bands to a harnessed counter-balance pully system where the assist is at the waist but wanted to say when I used bands for front lever progression, the band wasn't mounted on the bar my hands are on. As you showed in vid, that pushes you back and you're not really balancing correctly. Luckily my gym has a monkey bar set up with multiple bars set something like 12" away from each bar. Sure most calisthenics parks have this. I put the band on a bar away from the bar I hold with hand so that when I get my feet through the band, it doesn't push you back, it just pulls feet up.
    I would have used bands at the waist as shown here, but there isn't really an option at my gym to do that.

  • @xdawidek9637
    @xdawidek9637 3 роки тому

    To be honest, when you use weaker bands, then it help more if you put bend on feets. Lats is the main muscles working in fl, and also the biggest one which pulls, and when you place a band in your lower back, you make it easier for lats, cuz you don't need to pull ur butt up so much. So I don't agree in 100%, but of course bands are much more effective than progressions.

    Why in his back lever does he point his shoulder down towards the ground. Makes it look bad. Is this the way it’s meant to be done? I point my shoulders forward and it’s much harder.

  • @Love-you-too

    Your lower chest does pull downward for front levers. The same way the upper chest pulls the arm upwards with the front delt pour a handstand push-ups.

  • @fahadbutt1104
    @fahadbutt1104 4 роки тому +1

    @3:36 for chest, bodybuilders would use pulldowns to train chest and lats. One of the functions of chest muscle is to pull arms closer to the belly when they are above your head.

    • @brycetaylor6112
      @brycetaylor6112 5 років тому

      Agree, you still must extend you back. Most people who can't do a front lever are left with their hips falling putting them into a pike position. The ONLY way to fix that is by contracting the back extensors (low back and glutes). Abs are also working isometrically but in a still fairly lengthened position. After that it is a matter if your upper back and shoulder can support the load
