Ninja Warrior - Human Flag Training #1 of 3 (The Ultimate Oblique Exercise)

[Imjustaregularguy1]

this is great. right now im working on them i can only complete it for 2 seconds but i need the right bar or set ups to master it. im at 10 max muscle ups right now.

[b5ist]

@Imjustaregularguy1 nice. my flag is about the same time but my max muscle ups r only 4 without letting go of the bar. but im trying to use strict form, no swinging

[aldobenitezsosa]

it looks so unnatural :)

[123daleyb]

Left side..

[danielxdglaciuus]

the music don't match perfectly to the video....

[ObsessedFantage12]

did u make it!?!

[MrCravendish]

Ninja warrior kicks ass. Good luck, you seem well prepared.

[magnumartify]

How is Ninja employment doing in this economy anyhow? Anyone?

[killerrahmo]

gravity was like wtf just happend

[69BadjaoLonewolf69]

WHHOOOAAHHH!!!! A real... (dramatic pause) NINJA!!!

[300MUSIC]

how do you build yourself up to do this?

[ParkourAmour]

this guy has the worst form when he is doing it anyways, he is doing it wrong.

[darkshinegami]

@ParkourAmour funny I didn't see any of you doing it right. upload one as a response and show us all how it's done right then.

[NHeidfeld88]

pfffffffff what a noob trainingvideo... not for beginners... only for pro's.. But the pro's can to training lol

[merissafynan]

iv allways wanted to

do that

[rabiesman888]

how to u build to this lol i can only do the crappy human flag were u put one arm into your side or wat eva

[a4d2d0]

@rabiesman888 do dumbbell side lifts. they work the obliques pretty good

[FiveYearChallenge]

I am very impressed, i now have something new to work towards.

[flipcanflip]

I started out by doing a lot of pull ups, chin ups, and muscle ups. After i started to do vertical pole handstands and started to lower my body more and more until i could do a flag.

[swears]

yeah this is great and all, but first you got to develop and strengthen you stabliser muscles in and a round you core so they can take you bodies weight., other wise you just cant do what is shown in this video.. so how do you do that??? i mean obviously you'd do it with heavy free weights such as dumbbells and go from there but its tricky to exercise the right muscles for the job. suggestions from those who can actually can do what is shown in this particular video???

[renan123456ful]

ta loko

[djkonfuzion1]

im not sure if the work out is as intense as the music.....

[dom214]

To match the music, you'd have to be battling a robot army in the night, with lightning flashing, a fallen samurai's sword in your hand and with three remaining grenades

[papa1331]

they have to be holy hand grenades....

[noeezyfluff]

and raining. must be raining

[jesuistropbonpourtoi]

@dom214 lmfao that comment is pure win.

[MrRicMac]

dramatic music :)

[iwasbornspecial]

weight training doesnt stunt a kids growth unless its pushed to the extreme, being a fat kid stunts a kids growth. so does pollution, lies in schools, and chemicals in our food water and toothpaste.

[ProWwW]

Make a video about what you wrote in your description, that was cool! :)

[GuyWhoWearsShirt]

lol now that is funny

[ziogas1991]

wtf????????????

[WafflitoTheWaffle]

niceeee

i doubt i could do that though.

[james81885]

Weightlifting does not stunt growth in any way. The bones were designed to handle stress like that. What do you think gravity does to your bones???

[tysonuk]

i'd say i was pretty strong, and can handle my body weight well with most exercises, but i doubt i can jump straight into this exercise like this guy and get it right straight away... any advice for anyone who really knows their stuff, on how to build myself up to this exercise, so i dont fall off straight away and get concussion :)

[controlserv]

Un real

[Priesthunter]

Take a look again.

[4wang2chung0]

hey anyone, i was just wondering, im 15 years old, 120 pounds, and like 5foot 7inches. and you know how some people say working out at a young age like me can mess up your growth? well i was wondering if doing mostly bodyweight exercises, like these, pullups, chinups, hanging situps, etc. will that stuff slow my growth? and if anyones wondering, my dads about 6''2', and my moms about 5''7'.

thanks =D

[ESCAPEDCONVICT01]

it's mostly bullshit, ive been training since i was 14, and i havnt stopped growing i hit my growth spurt when i was 15. (however dont use heavy weights, that MAY stunt growth). and calisthenics(body weight exercises) definately won't stunt your growth, so i strongly recommend you start with them if you are concerned about it.

hope that helped ;)

[thelastsonofsparda]

Hey I'mlike the same age,height & weight as you! I don't think training using your own body weight would stunt growth but stay away from heavy weights.

[stickynotepa]

dont worry bout shit, im 13, 5'9 152 pounds, i use 35 pound dumbbells, and im still growing.

any trainer says different to me, i tell them to fuck off, they dont tell me when i stop growing.

[Idle566]

nope ,you're fine ,if i were you id train for one arm chins , human flag, all the hard stuff

GL :)

[PTurchan1]

That is a myth, train hard!

[bendystix]

not a myth sorry lol it's true, it can hurt the growth plates(everyone is differant so one thing can do something totally differant to another)

[loadedt2k]

ahh aint nuthin man

im 14, 135 lb. and 5'7

i use benching and squating and im taller and my whole family

[gurantxxxgurant]

wow thats weird, im also 14 and 135 lbs, and 5'7'' lol.

[gurantxxxgurant]

oh an im also taller than my whole family.

[MrStuntCentral]

I'm 12, 157lb and 6'1 and I'm miles taller than my family but if you lift really heavy weights too early it can damage your muscle and bone growth.

[nchiplin]

Uh, no. It all depends on what you're doing and what machines you're using.

[JangLao]

same as carrying heavy books in your bag.. =P

[swears]

True dat

[Rangerofold]

Ugh, my obliques are so weak. I wish I could do that.

[ASnowPuppy]

I'm in Japanland, and I'm also an aspiring ninja. Give me a message about coming to Japan.

[colpiland]

hard way to train them, if u have to learn from that chance u succeed are 1%...

way easier if u do ur flag vertically. 90°, then drop 1 leg, so your legs make 90° angle, and then add your 2nd leg, which is still vertical, if you master this you can begin training like it's said on this vid :)

beastskills for lyphe :)

[Cavsfan12908]

HOLY HELL DUDE!! thats some crazy ass exercise mad props to you dude.

[MegaDrainProductions]

nice job bro. u should go to japan.

[ultratrin]

so thats what does bars are for..we had some of those in my high school but i didn't know what they were for..i always saw the cheerleaders and the pride people hang their clothes in those..lol

[JoeSimonsen]

Work on keeping your arms straight and locked and keeping your back straight. This will help you by not isolating any muscles and teaching everything to work together.

[footballceez]

cool stuff bro...good luck!!

[x1lol1x]

workout on your speed too, it'll help you through the timed stages

[zHBK160z]

your efforts will definitely pay off =D

[RyanDryFly]

Holly crap!!!!! When do you qualify for NW buddy?

[NixSeraph]

I'll be submitting my Ninja Warrior Entry Video to G4 TV around mid-December. They'll review it, then make it public in January, 2009 for the people to vote on it. If my video receives enough votes, they'll send me to Japan in March to compete. It all depends on whether I can get enough people to support me. I know that you're one of my fans, and I truly appreciate that. Thanks a ton.

[TaraKarina]

i'm so gonna try this ha

[S0ngo]

[superlube69]

Super job keep up the training  -Bryan Legge-
