Even if you can't planche yet, just do the elbow lever to impress your girlfriend. It works everytime

L-sit on the floor is generally harder because it either requires more depression or compression depending on how u hold it

3:17 I did this now we are looking for new TV

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 for this mate! Straightforward, helpful and approachable. I'll definitely use this guide as I start exploring calisthenics. Cheers!

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!

[karlbodmer]

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.

0:49 that was the most charmimg smile ever

[nxpgaming]

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

[MountainPeak_]

In 5mins I could do all of these (never tried any of these skills before)! Thanks dude! Great video, earned a sub.

[Erikhigh]

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.

[georgi]

Am i the only one who can't do the elbow lever because i can't reach my hips whith my elbows??

[Isick-yxbn]

OMG THIS WAS THE FIRST CALISTHENICS VIDEO IVE WATCHED. I’ve been working out since then for a few months and now I can do the elbow lever!!!!

[bsyguy]

I actually didn’t knew I could do the elbow lever, now I am working on hand stand.

[fifteen]

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.

[blour]

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.
