How to learn Human Flag - Where people go wrong, how difficult + exercises for all levels

If you want a structured human flag program with workouts specifically designed for learning the human flag, check out my app, The Movement Trybe:

Here comes the human flag tutorial I have been promising you :)

The human flag is without doubt one of the coolest calisthenics skill and is on top of many athletes list of goals. So how strong do you need to be to learn the human flag? How difficult is the human flag and how does your body proportions affect this? How to you even start training fro the human flag? These are all questions that I will try to answer in this human flag tutorial.

In this human flag tutorial I will talk about prerequisites for the human flag, how difficult the human flag is and also why I think @GeekClimber was wrong in his assessment of the human flag. Like explained in the video, this is not at all an attack on him, and we have had fruitful discussions on the topic. His content is invaluable for many reasons, so do check him out :)

There is of course no human flag tutorial without actual human flag progressions, or exercises, so I will of course introduce plenty of exercises, drills and progressions to learn the human flag. There will be human flag progressions for both beginner, intermediate and advanced practitioners.

Incredibly great explanation and demonstration! Thanks for explaining why wall assisted one arm handstand and one arm hang is just a prerequisite due to the difference in arm angle. Let me share this great video around!

Definitely the best Human Flag tutorial I've seen.
Most videos just run through the 3-4 main progressions, and that's hit.
Here you get not only the science behind this extremely complex excersize, but you're also getting a very good explanation of why you should approach this with humility and how to do it right.
Big respect Sondre! 🙏🏼🙌💥

Great tutorial. I love this mathematical explanations. I already liked them in Geek Climber's video. Calisthenics skills should more often be explained like this. It makes you better understanding why some skills are more difficult for you than others.

[StephanGanoff]

Great videos! Happy be here because of the colab with Magnus.

I've tried training for this a yr with the wrong progressions and didn't get any progress. Used a resistance band and after 2 days of use, I see huge improvement already
