L-sit on the floor is generally harder because it either requires more depression or compression depending on how u hold it
Hahaha yesss, you're right!! 😁😁
It is crazy I can do it easily on the ground while if I do it on dip bars my legs fall down
@@Rob46373 i think it just feels harder cuz I have to lift the legs at a certain range of motion but overtime it is definitely easier
Fifty TG just tried it and ya lol
i'd argue L-Sit is not "beginner" per say...i've have had that move on the bucket list for a while now pre-COVID days...
Even if you can't planche yet, just do the elbow lever to impress your girlfriend. It works everytime
why i can't do it 😢
@@ramobb Use the progression. Tuck, straddle to full. It will definitely work
I can do the elbow lever. Where can i get a girlfriend from😢
@@riteshgole2133 just pick a girl and ask her out.
And if im single?
3:17 I did this now we are looking for new TV

Hahaha thanks Ian!

Lol sameeee XDdddd
It took me within an hour to transition from not being able to handstand, seeing tutorials, and then preform a formed elbow lever thanks to YOU I will definitely recommend you others, thank you and keep up whatever you’re working towards🙏🏼 ‼️
Thanks so much dude! Glad you got it in the end :D
keep lying on the internet, elbow lever is physically impossible.
@@tomfriendly2412 I literally just did it, I can only hold my body up for like 2 seconds lol if my lazy ass could do it, you can too
@@tomfriendly2412 its easy its litterly a cheated plench
@@MindOfSheesh lol bro im 13 just learned it in half an hour just practice i can hold it for like 15 sec rn

Hahaha thanks!
I've never heard anyone talk sets and reps for kick up handstand progression and its helps me a lot thanks man
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for this mate! Straightforward, helpful and approachable. I'll definitely use this guide as I start exploring calisthenics. Cheers!
r u able to walk perfectly now?😂bcz i tried and i m injured
yoo kuya gio
Am i the only one who can't do the elbow lever because i can't reach my hips whith my elbows??
I feel you, I literally almost get there but then I can't hold it.
@@samahsamiee9659 no
I feel you
I was like this untill i practiced it on table
Then i could do it on the ground
SyrM7_ what do you mean by this, I am struggling
@@jamesclayton9868 first do it on table
Make sure it doesn't fall
After doing it on table you can try on ground
@@syrm7_959 bruh my table would break if i do that
I broke my chin and nose👍
Haha😂
😂 mai bhi Bhai
Which one
I appreciated learning the "negative" side of an exercise. Thanks for that. I am a surfer who can't get in the ocean right now and I am trying to find some exercises that I enjoy. Keep doing what you are doing, it's super helpful!
Thanks Jackie! Glad you liked it :D
"Beginners"😐
💀
☠️
They are beginner exercises
Strong beginner
If u really have the motivation u just push urself up no matter the condition
Nice video man. I wish I could do all these exercises, but I am still really weak, fat and unflexible. Have been trying so hard recently though. Going to gym every other day, and I got great meal plan from Next Level Diet. I hope I will slim down fast so I can start with calisthenics. I believe in myself, that's the most important thing IMO.
Exactly bro, keep going and never stop. You'll get there in no time 💪
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
You got this! Don’t give up and you’ll 100% be able to do these 😁
Don’t you stop it now brah! Kick in the work
Keep goin' my brother 1 day u will be like Fraser or Chris heria
I literally always thought that handstand was just way outta my league but for a few days I was ill and pretty bored. Then I saw your video and thought let's give it a try. I never thought that it would be so easy! With the right technique, I was able to do it in just 3 days! It was great. Surprised the heck outta my friends! Thanks for the motivation bro
Were you already really strong or had an average guy build?
Quarantine gang hai. I will be trying the russian pushups and pistol squad till i can do 10reps, and the L sit till i can hold 30 seconds. Will edit with progress.
Day 1: I looked like a total idiot trying all of them, i tried it after my workout so ill blame it on me being tired. Im going to practice it one by one. Russian pushups first.
Day 2: Russian pushups arent that hard to learn actually, the hard part for me rn is to do more reps than one.
Day 5: I did 3 reps several times, almost there bois, gotta say i love how nice all of you are.
Yesterday I injured my left shoulder. Just to clarify its not from the russian pushups and I did warmup enough, i guess. I have regular workouts beside the 10-20 minutes i spare to practice the russian pushups. I wont be doing anything for some time because of the shoulder injury. I just want to thank you all for all the likes, pretty sure i never gotten as much, and for all the kind words.
Luckily my shoulder injury wasnt serious at all so I should be able to get back slowly into grinding in a few days.
blour kid don’t give up
@@thestorydevelopers I wont dw
ch
Keep it up
Lit bro
yo....... I've been training for calisthenics and getting in shape and so i accidentally found this video and i was like "dude Erik you have to finally attempt the elbow leaver" and so shortly after im like "ok ill try". and guess what. ya boi did it! lol first time ever doing the elbow leaver and its after watching your vid thanks! and btw im the 333 like lol.
Hahahahaha this was such a fun comment to read :D I'm stoked that you got it Eric, great work!! I'm super happy that it was one of my videos that helped you achieve it too! Hope you find my other videos as useful as this one haha, I'm sure you will :D
Same, I tried it and did it too
gratss
Thanks. I needed this because my previous workout routine wasn't enough so I found this video and immediately tried the hand stand and elbow lever. I can't do the elbow lever but I am learning the handstand, and luckily Im not too afraid of falling forward so I learned it in just a couple hours. I will say that it does hurt my wrists but that's probably because I'm just starting out
In 5mins I could do all of these (never tried any of these skills before)! Thanks dude! Great video, earned a sub.
I’m struggling with balance
@@ymaks8198 maybe spread your hands and kind of try to kind of push them outwards. Worked for me

Thanks Siddharth! Glad you enjoyed it!
I successfully done elbow lever in my 1st attempt.
I'm naturally very strong but still believe in hardwork.
How ??
This was a great way to introduce some of these. I've been meaning to be able to hold a handstand for some time and this video helped me hold it for 15 seconds. Thank you man!
Love to hear that man! Well done 💪🏼💪🏼 Glad I could help
Absolutely clear and useful. Thank you! :)
Thanks Marian! And thanks for subscribing :D
This channel deserves surely more subscribers, high quality videos!
I appreciate that! Thanks Alessio :D
I will try to learn the elbow lever and talk about my progress in this comment(I've been working out for 5 months, I think it's time I learn some cool skills :D)
Day 1: After an hour or 2 after trying, was able to hold it for 7-8 seconds despite my puny wrists.
I'm aiming to master and hold this for 30 seconds.
Wrists hurt trying the lever, how about you?
Nothing hurts except my head wanting to explode its so weird
@@YkEfrMan same idk why
@@YkEfrMan probably cause you are forgetting to breathe?
Wtf I do this for second in 1st attempt 😶
You nailed it 👌great tips 💡 it helped me man!
Yes this what I was looking for
Your Voice is So Smooth n Relaxing, Just Like NadeKing (CsGo Ytber)
Or maybe ur NadeKing
Hahaha thanks dude!
I dont know what to say about the "beginners can learn" doesn't feel like it
You can learn anything if you practise enough ^_^
@@AshtonFitness you're hardly a beginner at that point though
This video is for intermediate or advanced level.
@@ImreVogelezang savage 🔥
thanks man love the vid🥰
Brilliant, thank you 😀😀
He has got great sense of humor 😂, I'm scared if I'll break my neck doing the handstand
Thanks dude! Please be careful hahaha
I was trying handstand push off, smashed my back off a bench then into the floor! Thank you for the other tips! I've retired from handstand for now
I almost died doing the Russian pushups 💀
that's just the way it is 😆😆😆😆, superb video.
I love your editing man!
Day 47 Quarantine i don't know what I'm going to watch anymore...
Go find an anime called shigurui: death Frenzy. It's like the Romeo and Juliet of Revenge
Watch my EASY WORKOUT AT HOME by LAUGHING video. You will not be disapointed. LOL th-cam.com/video/ZS1RzjFSJ9I/w-d-xo.html
I'm struggling with the Elbow Lever. I feel like I'm gonna twist my hand putting that much pressure on it. I'm trying tho
Same
man keep trying it hurts in the beginning, i didnt even know it was a calisthenics thing when i started with it. , its easier 2 do as its in 0:33 when you can grab a thing, but later on you will be able 2 do it on the floor without a problem
One of the best workouts I‘ve ever seen and I‘m in love with your energy! Thank you so much!!!
Haha thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it!
Really it is the best channel that i had seen ever
Y'all probably gonna try it rn then abandon it ain't ya
Na
Uhm I can't reach my hip bone with my elbow, is there something wrong with me
lil c everybody is built differently
I cant do it without curling too much because my ribcage is wide and it gets in the way 😕
It's called T-rex arms😂
genetics it means it's hard for you to do it but you need to figure out your way to it, BUT this genetics gonna help you be better than normal guys in other workouts or workouts position it's (negative and positive) at sametime
broodjebakpao1994 😂 NO!
Thanks for all these nice tips mate
You're welcome! :D
Loved this video
i'll try all of them and come back with some feedback.
edit: Bold of me to assume my fat arms could support my body weight.
Keep practising dude!
Once when I was doing handstand I fell the other side 💀
Be bareful dude :D
Extremely helpful, thx
You're welcome!
thanks man very help full now i can hand stand easily
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
Had myself on a 5 month calisthenics break, it's infuriating to have step down everything to level 1.
I know your pain bro 🙏🏾. Here is a video I made that will really motivate you. I had a major setback and couldn't do calisthenics for almost a year, but I managed to bounce back with sheer determination and willpower. You deffo need to watch this: m.th-cam.com/video/qm-dd_5Ham8/w-d-xo.html&t
Thanks for the comment, happy training, and you will get back to where you were!

@@AshtonFitness do you have a video on calisthenics full body workout for beginners?
@@AshtonFitness nevermind I found it
I remember doing all of this when I was a kid. What the hell happened to me....
Bro!
Due to puberty and increased weight don't need to do advance as our weight differs in ages if you can 10 correct pushups it will be equal to 30 pushups in your kid age
THANK YOU SIR
I ll start to try right now ! Thanks
You're welcome!
Umm.. am I deformed???? I'm physically unable to bring my elbows inside my midsection like he does. Not even close.. wtf??? 0:42 I cannot feel my hips with my elbows at all.
I can do 40 push ups with good form straight.
Same did you find out how to do it
@@bananaboy1013 nope.. think I'm just deformed. 🥺
@@dnegel9546 I just saw a video it said you do it to your midsection but like as close as possible they don't mean literally in the midsection
@@dnegel9546 check out simonster strength elbow lever tutorial
Just did it first you should start by doing it on something like a chair or sum it's easier do it for long and then you'll be able to do the easiest one on the floor
I dont have legs 🥺
No pain, no gain.
He went through pain for no gain
giorgi mchedlidze it makes it easier
This is such a well-made and informative video, nice work man
Thanks Charlie, really appreciate it man!
Best explanation ever💥💥💫
I need way more basic strength for these "beginners" skills 😂😂... All them 100 push ups and triceps extensions for these basic calisthenics skills..... It's okay, still got another 6weeks of quarantine to go at least!
What do you mean by 100 push ups and tricep extensions?
@@vishweshmanerkar4302 well they are basic exercises that's what he means, and they are even if not advanced very good exercises that you should be doing even after getting to an advanced stage. Always.
@@vishweshmanerkar4302 I mean I cannot even do these his "basic skills", so I just keep on going my 100 push ups and triceps extensions to be able to do these basic calisthenics skills perhaps one day lol
The handstand is not easy, absolutely. I had many friends who couldn't make it after months and months. Finally, the pistol squat is of medium level
1 month should do it with the right exercise, but it also depends on how well you are build, a fat ass won't learn it obviously.
i learn handstand for 2days only, i can maintain it for 20sec
@@ronanrubio3690 sure but you are god
Thank you for breaking down everything in simplified manner.
You're very welcome Shaz! Thanks for subscribing :D
Your easy to follow, and you don’t complicate these movements. Well done mate!
Thank you bro! Appreciate it!
hi nobody will probably see this but its sad but i am not strong enough to do these yet any advice
Start with wall push ups then work your way down to a regular push up. If you can't yet then try push ups on your knees
I cnt even reach my hips with my elbows ....
Me to and idk what to do
Same
@@henryp3047 i would suggest if ur couch has a part on the side where u keep ur hand start doing there until u master it then u will be able to do it on the floor in no time.... I speak from experience i started on the couch and in one week i was able to do it
Thanks for sharing and inspiring
You are welcome!
Thanks mate.
