@Daniel, I've seen skin the cat where the person will rotate their wrists so their palms are facing back on the 2nd half (lowering) party of the movement. You think there's any reason to do that? Thanks for another great video.
Hey mate your awesome and respect 🙏 to you! Is the planche leaver on the rings harder to do then on the straight bar or could you progress on the straight bar to get to the rings just a question need some tips to improve holding my leaver and your form is on the expert level respect mate
I'm Brazilian. In my opinion, this is the best channel of calisthenics ever!! I've been watching FitnessFAQs for years and I can't find another channel with this level of informative content. Now I'm able to do muscle ups without kipping because of the awsome tips of this channel! Thanks man!!
I think it's an okay channel, but overrated. The tutorials are often missing important aspects for beginners and even intermediates. Moreover, his videos often don't specify which skill level the movement is. This particular video is a good example. I think he rarely works with people who are new to the hobby.
I’m a beginner girl with using rings :( I wanna grow strong like you! You been my number one inspiration! Keep going! You have change my life to the best. I will work hard to accomplish my goals
In my gym there are many women who are amazing on the rings, and the world needs more! Be persistent, patient and wise like Daniel urges us to be, and you'll get your desired gainz.
What's funny is how regular weight-lifting misses those "connecting" muscles that allow a person to do such skin the cats so easily. You can do all the rows, situps, pullups etc in the world and still not be able to make this exercise look as easy as what this young man does. It's those "interconnecting" muscles that are the weak link and we're only as strong as our weakest link. Gymnastics is the best form of exercise. It gives you control over your body that just weight-lifting doesn't do.
@@Bnuuy56 how do you combine? summer calesthenics and winter gym, or both in one workout or calesthenics and next workout gym, or compounds calesthenics and isolations gym?
@@wallesdrop3026 yeah do both but also cut both in half like maybe for example the pulling exercises we go 2 sets of skin the cat 2 sets of pull-ups 2-3 sets of bent Dumbbell rows 1 -3 set of hammer curls
I'm not trying to be annoying but i think you mean interconnecting tissues, such as tendons and ligamens, because there are no interconnecting muscles.
learning the skin the cat just now!! this is what I like about calisthenics... you progress to a different exercise which is a qualitative measure. And once you accomplish a skill its like you did what you thought couldn't be done with your body aka the impossible. you feel so great... at the gym you just progress through weights doing the same thing over and over again which can be quite boring
Figel the Great master a new exercise after a ton of hard work... you will know :)... but calisthenics can be frustrating too when you are stuck in a progression
Oh, I noticed on another video, if you're having trouble doing a regular skin the cat then do it in reverse on the rings until your shoulders are strong enough. Make the front part of the skin the cat an eccentric movement until those muscles strengthen up.
I love this concept of training dynamics over statics. I personally just started doing something like this for my planche training using Pike pulls and pull throughs to work l-sit, planche, and press handstands all in one movement
great, Iam just starting out on the rings, I am 63 years old, and I can do the 360 but not with the legs extentended, I am doing a lot of warmup, as the musles are not strong enough, I am quit sore in the shoulders. I was into weight lifting for many years, but got away from it when I started to travel. now am getting into rock climbing, and think can use the rings to built up my flexabilty and strength over time, glad to find your videos
THANKS !!! Thanks to you i have now my training down! Plz give us another day of eating video! i am vegan but I need to get an idea of portion size and carb choises
After injuring my rotator cuff jumping into full back levers too soon, I can safely say that the slow progression is essential. Also warming up. I couldn't even do press ups it was that bad :/
marcos krupiczer in fact it's easier (at least in my personal opinion and experience). The reduced range of motion on the 180° version makes the exercise less fatiguing than the 360° one. Another point is that the time under tension is also not that much. I reccomend you to try both (on a progression you are able to) and feel the difference😅.
What kind of self-care do you do, and how regulary? Massage, chiro, spa? As I've upped my fitness game I see the increased need for self care, and wonder what pros such as yourself are doing.
I can only do 5 reps of this exercise, though my legs are pulled in half way. Only can do this on pull up bars at my gym. I have to agree with the muscles used. It totally can wear myself out.
Awesome video! Saw this exercise on another video and then needed to find out how! I'm very new to rings but it's been a blast so far. Using it for some lockdown exercise while we aren't allowed to punch people (boxing) XD
I enjoyed the video. One question you did not address is hand position. Does it matter if you keep your hands fixed (as it appears in the video) in a pronated grip? Or is there a benefit or risk for the shoulder if you transition into a supinated grip as you pull through from the front lever to the back lever?
Can you do more about pushing bodyweight exercises? I cant do dips on rings and i dont like bench dips on rings idk why. So i only do push ups and tricep ring extensions. I really dont know what would my 3rd be..
E arg I dont have paralel bars. Only rings. Skullcrushers are kind of like ring tricep extensions right? But nevertheless (is that even a word) thanks on reply!
Look out dominik sky's channel begginer to advanced videos, he shows a lot of variation of pull,push and core, and you can do archer push ups,diamond,decline and pike push ups to be able to do ring dips, or practice the ring support with external rotation and if you can't do it in dip position do it in push up position that worked for me 👍
Marin Bošnjak it's worth working on holding yourself in the top position of a ring dip and stabilizing there and then you can try using one leg to do assisted ring dips which can still be quite tough
Do progressive workout start bt doing archer pull ups then do where u use both hands to go up then let go of the other when going down thats how i did mine
I thought skin the cat was something really advanced that I wouldn't be able to attempt for a couple of years, but the School of Calisthenics guys showed how you can start doing it with rings set low so that you can push yourself up at the beginning and use your feet to support yourself at the end position. I do it like that at the end of my pull session for the shoulder mobility and to start build straight arm strength. ruclips.net/video/j0TQfchmkvk/видео.htmlm5s
It sucks when you dont have somewhere high enough to hang your rings :/ Anyone know of a way to work the smae muscles but with a door pull up bar and rings set up?
Hi Daniel, Unfortunately I've been struggling with injuries lately. Any tips on speeding up the recovery of my sprained thumb and index finger? It's been 1,5 month and I still lack mobility. Can I train pull ups if I use sports tape?
Hey Daniel, I started training my OAC around a month ago and I was curious at was the best way to go about training it. Or what you did when training yours that you thought were the most beneficial?
can do Skin the cat maybe 6times in a row.. the second part from back to front is easier as the start :D ...but my rings are mostly in face height.. so i start with bent arms and then go to straight arms.. can finish with an L-Sit but complete straight is still impossible :D
will you try to learn maltese someday? recently saw a guy who weighs 104 kg and does maltese and planche) also straddle version,but he is incredible heavy for this
Where am I supposed to hang my rings, if I hang them on the pull-up bar all I can do is skin the cat so I don't really have anywhere to hang the rings to give me the perfect elevation to do these.
german hang is quite offensive. as far as i know it is a method to torture ppl which was applied in the kzs in the ns regime. they hang ppl in the bottom position of the german hang till the shoulders could no longer hold the weight. i heard this second hand, but it would fit to what daniel said.
It sucks that im 6ft 4 and my pull-up bar isn't high enough for me to do this exercise. There isn't a pull-up bar high enough for me to buy and do anything with my legs out straight lol. I would have to have something fixed into the ground but I'm not planning on staying in the house I'm in so there isn't any point at the moment. it sucks being tall.
Hey Daniel, do you have any recommendations of exercises for ppl with spondylolisthesis? I cant find any good way to strenghten my lower back without it hurting. And i think i have tried every exercise known to Google...
Hey I have got a question... are there any exercises to do in non-train days? Becuase I can't stand the feeling of doing nothing in these. Thanks for answer!
I’ve been recently doing this exercise I am pretty early in the stages though, I am getting use to coming from the tuck front lever to the back I haven’t fully been able to bring myself back through though but definitely working on it, it’s definitely one of the weirdest exercises just because of the position of the shouldars when you’re not used to doing it takes a while to get use to it but I like it it really engages your whole body and plus I think it’s quite cool takes a lot of strength and patience to do this exercise.
is doing pull ups harder on bar or rings? cos for me perosnally i found that rings are way easier and enjoyable for me for doing muscle ups and everything in between (also core works more cos it needs to stabilize body, espeically with straight (90 degree legs) if anything i find doing pull ups on bar better for back (lat) muscles but i can not do muscle up there
So, as I'm progressing in my bodyweight skills and calisthenics I get closer and closer to just cancelling my gym membership altogether. I wanted to ask you though, do you still do conventional weight training? I don't want to lose the physique I've built, but I feel like the calisthenics would maintain what I have. I do want to know if you supplement your bodyweight stuff with conventional weights before I make a decision though. Thanks man.
Look im not gay but i really like this man. Hes very educational and helpful thank you for every video putting on youtube. You inspiring me and many others i hope you will be more succesfull in your life and career. Keep going daniel 👍👍👍👍

true but as a bodybuilder those muscles are useless. because they are training for aesthetic not for skills
Yeah youre totally right ! , this is why I now decided to combine these two ;))
Both lifting weights at gym and doing calisthenics is amazing combo 🔥👌
@@Bnuuy56 how do you combine? summer calesthenics and winter gym, or both in one workout or calesthenics and next workout gym, or compounds calesthenics and isolations gym?
@@wallesdrop3026 yeah do both but also cut both in half like maybe for example the pulling exercises we go

Guys we all know this vid was made so Daniel could subtly show off how his calves have grown from 80 different angles. But we all secretly enjoyed it.
"peel the banana" is what I call the "skin the cat" - it's also vegan friendly
oh
Testosterone decreased 30%
😂😂😂
You're not gay for peeling your own banana, and it's a vegan friendly act
How dare you offend bananas and their mothers, my trees are literally shaking outside…
Because its kind of windy today

And once you accomplish a skill its like you did what you thought couldn't be done with your body aka the impossible. you feel so great... at the gym you just progress through weights doing the same thing over and over again which can be quite boring
How is doing the same lifting patterns any more boring than doing the same calisthenics patterns?
Figel the Great master a new exercise after a ton of hard work... you will know :)... but calisthenics can be frustrating too when you are stuck in a progression
Bro, I can do a front lever. I know. But hitting say 600lbs on the deadlift is equally satisying I'd say. Or learning the snatch. Etc.
What the hell is the difference between deadlifting 200 or 600 lbs, it is just a number
it's not just a number. it's a weight. "what's the difference between a push up and a planche, it's just a different movement".
Oh, I noticed on another video, if you're having trouble doing a regular skin the cat then do it in reverse on the rings until your shoulders are strong enough. Make the front part of the skin the cat an eccentric movement until those muscles strengthen up.
Wao look your shoulders...and your legs ....wao ..you and tom Merrick are the best fitness ..
check out calisthenics movement too, they have some great content as well
Amazing body and strength. Fitness goals.
I healed my shoulders doing this.
I love this concept of training dynamics over statics. I personally just started doing something like this for my planche training using Pike pulls and pull throughs to work l-sit, planche, and press handstands all in one movement

Great tutorial! When are you going to talk about your nutrition?
Definitely like dynamic exercise over isometric holds.
Really nice, I used to do it hanging on a tree in my porch as a kid.
Now however @ age 47 I find it hard to do.
I got my first rep on the backside with full control yesterday even with the ring tuck version. Quite happy about that and I will do it everyday
Danny man
This gonna shred n cut me up.
Stacking for sure...
Thanks for tips n tricks.... this awesome.....
Once again, rings for the master power!
rings > bar?
@@klemenkovacic9109 for the most part yes!
This exercise is something you should never stop doing. Just gets you unreal upper body strength...

This is seriously Beast Mode, My Friend.
I love the 360-degree pull. Biceps and back muscles sure feel it the next day.
Why would you biceps feel it? Are you bending your elbow?
@@trevbarlow9719 watch the video called "why do gymnasts have large biceps" or something like that and you'll understand why
HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?! Thumbs up :)
Bot
Glad to see ya back, Daniel! Very nice content as usual.
I think an even harder progression could be to go from front lever to back lever (instead of going from active hang to german hang)
marcos krupiczer in fact it's easier (at least in my personal opinion and experience). The reduced range of motion on the 180° version makes the exercise less fatiguing than the 360° one. Another point is that the time under tension is also not that much. I reccomend you to try both (on a progression you are able to) and feel the difference😅.
@@ibaikintana908 If you have a pause in the lever positiions for 5 seconds or so, it is MUCH harder as an isometric than dynamic exercise
What kind of self-care do you do, and how regulary? Massage, chiro, spa? As I've upped my fitness game I see the increased need for self care, and wonder what pros such as yourself are doing.
Could you please make a video on how to deal with an injury? (for example a pec strain)
A Gs I strained my pec, recently! Oh man terrible. Part of it is still hanging.
I can only do 5 reps of this exercise, though my legs are pulled in half way. Only can do this on pull up bars at my gym. I have to agree with the muscles used. It totally can wear myself out.
respect for all ur content! i love it! thx for putting it all out there.
My question is, where should we place this exercise in our pulling exercises? Should it be at the start or the end of the workout? Thanks!
this is awesome! I’m still on tucked skin the cat but I will try to do the dynamic progression in sets
Super nice video. Your content is always high quality.
Imma just head back to the gym and continue my bro lifting.
I think that's super impressive! I can most probably do that but, it gives me chills just watching you. I feel if I did it I would break my arms
Never thought of the german hang as a offensive name, you are very funny!
empbac except it's not. It's based on how the nazis used them as stress positions for their prisoners. Awkward...
Great first shot
defo prefer dynamic movement. That's where all the exciting moves come in
What I’m most impressed with in this video is the respect shown to foot hygiene
Thank you!
Huge! Great pull. Great shorts.
Fuggin love it. Awesome as always
Another great video! As always.
I can see doing that exercise can virtually engage all muscle on the body. You are super agile and blessed
Your videos are perfect.
Would you classify a 360 pull as a vertical or horizontal pulling movement pattern?
Awesome video! Saw this exercise on another video and then needed to find out how!

Anyone know what the "more offensive" name for the move is? Just curious.
I'm curious too!
Well the only other name I know of is a German Hang but that’s not offensive, except if you don’t like ze Germans.
in Russia, if i'm not mistaken, we call it "swallow" (a bird)
Total guess here but I'm thinking skin the pussy?
german hang is quite offensive. as far as i know it is a method to torture ppl which was applied in the kzs in the ns regime. they hang ppl in the bottom position of the german hang till the shoulders could no longer hold the weight. i heard this second hand, but it would fit to what daniel said.
