The problem is your form. Your top hand needs to be pushing against your friends forearm, not trying to hang onto it. Make sure your shoulders are engaged and fully extended (not your elbow, your shoulder).

@kleezer1 Planches... lots of planches. You want to build up your core, so I'd start there... side planches and exercises that work the obliques are a good idea. Then when you're ready, start the human flag by bringing your knees up to your chest (this makes it easier to hold it). *you may be able to hold for only a few seconds, thats fine.* keep doing it until you start to get comfortable. Then you can bring your knees up, and stick one leg out... eventually you'll be able to do both legs.
you guys are insane!! but in a good way though haha. im leaving in august for marine corps bootcamp. any suggestions on what i can do to get ready for bootcamp?
@atz123ify Yup, we've tried both ways and this is the best we've gotten it. Danny's an inch taller and about 10 lbs heavier than me so it makes more sense this way.
Human Flag on Human Flag Pole ahahaha Al love your videos bro and having a brother to workout with is freaking pricless you guys together make an awesome team!!!!
Try doing this with his left arm straight up and your left arm on his shoulder. You will find where is better for you to use your right hand. Nice effort!
