    I wish I had watched this video a year ago. I'd been really stuck in the tuck position for months without progression so I gave up. Then watched this and saw the tip about keeping the scapula protracted. What a difference it has made! Invaluable bit of advice. Nice work, Daniel!

    Wow, this training method really works. I went fromm tuck back lever to advanced tuck back lever in 2 weeks. I will post my results after 1 month.

    This has been so helpful for me. I am comfortable with German hang and lift but the progressions are fantastic to show me what I should be doing and also give me a benchmark for my current progress. I'm only at the tuck stage but I'm really enjoying playing with it and trying to get onto the advanced tuck.

    You are one of my primary motivations in pursuing gymnastic strength. Love your knowledge, passion, and professionalism. As always, keep up the good work!

    I understood finally how to protraction and I can hold back lever, but without that, I was like "never even gonna happen" and boom, it happens, I need to clean my form right now(but actually it's not that bad). This feeling means more than anything :) Thanks coach. Maybe I record my back lever when I will be able to hold it with perfect form.

What kind of exercise did you prefer in your training, static hold or lifts ? It would be really nice if you could answer. I know you're very busy. But anyway thanks a lot! You motivate so many people around the world! Greetings from Germany :)

    Thanks mate. I didn't know this was an actual move/exercise. I thought I'd invented it and often wonder if people at gym think I'm a weirdo !! I find it VERY easy and don't feel much strain on my abbs, I just flex them to exercise them while I'm at it. My question Daniel is....how long should I hold it for to get maximum benefit ? It gets boring after 30 secs but if it's going to help my back ? I'll do if for as long as you recommend. I'm 62 and started gym 4 years ago but mainly just listen to my body and make up my own routines.

    Hey Daniel, thanks for your videos !
    I used to hold skin the cats and advanced back lever with scapula RETRACTED.
    I really regret it now because my sternoclavicular joint is slightly unstable and makes "pop" sounds, even though I never had any pain.
    Do you think the ligament can heal over time or will it stay unstable ? Should I avoid pull-ups, dips and other stuff ?
    Thank you so much, I'm quite concerned about this !

  • @supertedholty1053
    @supertedholty1053 6 лет назад

    For the holds do you count one rep as spinning over holding for 8-12s spinning back over, feet touch floor to reset? Or do you keep constant contact with handles throughout? Great channel btw!

  • @Imjustaguy73
    @Imjustaguy73 10 лет назад

    Quite nice tutorial; big plus for explaining the "scapular retraction-protraction". Big minus for the wrong pronunciation as lever is pronounced /ˈlɛvər, ˈlivər/ and not /ˈleivər/.

    I am not into my full back lever yet (after 12 months of training... - 189 cm height can be challenging with levers) however I've noticed that including tucked back lever lifts significantly improves solidness of each progression and fastens learning curve.
    By the way - have you tried back lever with false grip?

    Hey Chris, I love your videos but I have a question for this one. I have been trying to progress with the back lever for some time now but I feel stuck at the advanced tuck lever. In your Front lever tutorial you give some great "progression exercises" that are not static exercises. Do you have any non static progression exercises for the backlever or should skinning the cat be sufficient for this?

    Hey Daniel,
    When engaging the glutes and abdominals during the back lever, I tend to get a slight arch in my lower back. I'm unsure as to whether the goal here is to maintain a body structure like that of a hollow body hold, or to have that very slight arch
    Please give me some feed back
    Yours truly,

  • @CrocoduckRex
    @CrocoduckRex 11 лет назад

    My guess would be biceps, brachialis, serratus anterior, anterior deltoid, pectoralis major (and pectoralis minor too, if you strongly depress the scapula), and whatever muscles that hold your back straight.
