Inside the Gymnastic Life - Stanford Men's Gymnastics

[RayWilliamJohansen]

the only way to get your type of physique is through doing gymnastics ?

[warlockrandy]

i liked ur documentary...

would like to see more on gymnastics

[peepers60]

Gymnasts are hot! Keep it up boys!

[erikjkl]

what age did most of these guys start?

[0902bagi]

Hello , I am 16 years old and can I become an become an gymnastics athlete ? Is it possible ?

[erikjkl]

@0902bagi it's very difficult if ur talking about competing at a high level

[aneesharyan]

Nice video man really liked it...........thanks for uploading

[Randomclips7]

they start practice from is 8,9 or they start now i need answer

[breezebro]

I've always wondered, how can someone take a full class load, make decent grades and still put in the time it takes to become an elite gymnast?

If you've got an answer please tell me.

[jfluter]

@breezebro I think it just comes down to time management and priorities. They choose to be in the team, so they choose to put in the work ethic.

[breezebro]

@jfluter I guess you're right but it seems as though they must be exceptional people as well.

I spent every hour in the gym I could steal away from studying and only became an average gymnast with 3.0 grades. I'm 59 now so that was a long time ago but it was a thrill I'll never forget.

[happyjellyfish]

Ow, was the freshman with the neck injury ok? I thought that vault was banned in the early 90s too...

[thechancelor1]

this is the college I want to go to, I would LOVE to compete for this team. please watch my videos. :)

[00telehit]

I want to enter in gymnastics.....will, this be a good way to get in shape, im in shape but will like to get more muscularity, and i c that most guys that do gymnastics, look kinda rip......and i will like that, im actually going to register in on gymastic gym, because i kinda like it, and i want to be in better shape...what do u think......about me, joining gymnastics, what is it take...to grow in it...

[RobertBlackman101]

What move is that guy doing at 2.26?

[blacksheep550]

@RobertBlackman101 looks like a stockli, im not sure...

[makeitonmyown2012]

are there any other circuits you guys do?

[ZzPlaya4life12zZ]

i'm a gymanst and this video basically sums up the sport

[fi5661]

thanks so much for stating the obvious

[ZzPlaya4life12zZ]

your welcome dick

[fi5661]

yeh it was a rhetorical question

[pinkangelicVanessa89]

BEST RACK EVER

fastloverfun...dot...com

[IHeartNotArt]

Guys in the US seem to train in gyms shirtless a lot. I've never seen this in the UK.

[DeadlyChinchilla]

Does this really mean anything?

[IHeartNotArt]

It's cool. Wish it was like that here.

[DeadlyChinchilla]

I think its just preferencial, of course societies judgement means a lot. Here, especially in sports communities, comfort usually comes before self-consciousness. That is, until the Christians get mad at a woman for running in a sports bra... then it becomes "role models perverting our youth," heh.

[IHeartNotArt]

Lol

[G33314Lucas]

lol we hate you

[IHeartNotArt]

That's not very Christian, lol

[G33314Lucas]

lol,stop or i hate you more

[DeadlyChinchilla]

God can't hate anything. Something has to exist before it can do or feel anything.

*You* on the other hand are free to hate anybody you want.

[G33314Lucas]

chinchillas cant be deadly.something has to have the disposition to attack and kill before it can be deadly or just kill

you on the other hand are free to call chinchillas deadly

[fahrezz]

If you're tall ad heavy.. U have to do lots of workouts to compensate your weight.

[moogoolala]

whos the tallest person on that team cause i was wondering if i can still make it even though im getting a bit tall...

[maroth86]

how tall are you? it shouldn't matter. Although it's a stereotype, there are a few guys in NCAA who are 6'3" and some at 6'2", 6'1"...

[moogoolala]

i think im right between 5'11'' and 6'... is that to tall to be good? cause im lvl ten and i wanna go far but its really getting to me lately

[maroth86]

There's a number of guys on college teams between 5'9" and 6'...it's not too tall, believe me. I know three guys who all competed in college -- one was 6', the other was 5'11", and the other was 6'2"

[moogoolala]

oh ok thanks dude, btw, do you see the airforce academy team at your meets? how do they do?

[soonergymnast1967]

I had a friend by the name of Nathan Glandon that competed for Air force. They were pretty decent until they received a new coach. When he took over him and several other guy quit because he was too ridiculous. So they will take anyone right now and to be honest it's a great way to get your face and name out there. Best of luck to you!

[alex5theman]

Those guys are amazing

[YDGpowerthree]

alex buscaglia is a beast

[JumpinStud09]

my spanish teacher use to be a gymnast and he said your chest had to be twice the size of your waist. is that true??

[IvanPS2]

well i kind of doubt that your chest can be twice the size of your waist but if you are a gymnast yes you have have big shoulders and a slim waist

[akawhippy]

Since thats the ideal body type for a male gymnast. What is the ideal body type for a female gymnast?

[RandomCoke]

normal looking/bulky overall with the appearance of being fat but actually not :)

but that's only what my eyes see of course

[srgymnast1]

it doesn't matter! hard work is the only thing you need to worry about

[Restyled]

The world is mine!! heheh i'm being silly now ahaha

_PLAY-CAM(.)COM_

[l3yrdman]

WHY AM I DOING THIS!!!

Cause you love it!!

Lol fuckin hilarious

[rafaga77]

what time do they start to practice this sport?

[akawhippy]

UGH! You need to start this at a very early age. Approximately between the ages of 2-7years. While your skeleton is maturing because you need to develop strength, body control, flexibility, and power. You cannot live your life like any other normal boy or girl due to the fact that you'll have to mantain a certain body weight, average or below average, you can't be heavy.

[Dlucas1357]

Great Vid!!!

I would also LOVE to do gymnastics, but im 15 and my mom says im too old to start

[casanovagymnast]

[xSiLeNtKiLax]

Awesome

[demandred753]

Male gymnasts are some of the sexiest specimens on Earth.

[rwar987]

i thought it was a great vid :P

[jon3m2007]

Is there any way you could make your video more interesting?

[iamyellowj]

What would make this video more interesting for you?

It was was made in one week for movie competition at Stanford so we weren't able to put in everything we would have liked to.

[halley85]

what's the name of the song?please!

[beghilhorst]

At 3:27 someone slides a sort of cover of the bar so you can't grasp the bar anymore. What's that for? Is it meant to make people get used to falling?

[iamyellowj]

We slide the mat when people are just learning how to do release moves. They are rather dangerous skills and had the mat not been slid on that particular occasion, our teammate would have smacked his head against the metal bar. He's made the skill successfully since.

[chursthouse]

mate im wanting to get straddle to handstand... i can do a handstand but to get from straddle absolute kills my hip flexers and i just cant seem to push off. what do i do for training?. id like to go from straddle to handstand back down to straddle again.

[ApolytonGP]

you can do that circuit in 10 minutes?

[iamyellowj]

yeah - we have chalkboards up to see how can do it the fastest. The fastest time we have is under 7 minutes. =P

[master51423]

yes, i would love it. i hella like this song.

[master51423]

are you sure you got the song right? cuz i can't find it anywhere

[iamyellowj]

It's probably a local college band because the music was provided to us for free during the Campus Movie Fest. I have an mp3 if you want it.

[Duifje]

Hey could you send me the mp3 of that song? It's dope..

[iamyellowj]

Circuit training -

1 rope climb

10 back tucks

7 front uprise handstand

7 runs down the vault and a front layout over

25 dips

7 roundoff back handspring layout

30 circles

7 pull up and overs

3x kip, kip swing handstand on rings

[bovien2]

well done... what is the name of the song?

[littleags]

i hate circuit training...

[snyderbros]

what is the 10 minutes circut that you talk about? i am interested to know how NCAA gymnasts condition

[azeilia]

i wish i could do that if i wasnt on the computer every sec

[iamyellowj]

Stanford men's gymnastics got 3rd this year at NCAAs - but took home Rings and Vault championships.

[MrWicked15]

[contorboy]

[bloodriotiori]

gymnists have the best bodies, i'm jealous :(

[AMBUMREP]

Nice video - well done!

[slapshotking08]

damn this vid brings me back to high school, i miss it...... what is bullshit is there are still many out there who see guy gymnasts as fairies, i'd like to see those people try to train like that.... great vid tho... it is also very sad to see that the NCAA is cutting men's gymnastics programs.

[GymnasticsIsLove13]

thats true! gymnastics is really hard and painful- for both men and women. i admire all gymnasts, both genders.

[gymnasticsboi2007]

Gynastics is the most phisical enduring sport in the world but i love it and wouldnt ever stop!! GYMNASTICS RAWKS!!!

[senoradoubleback]

When did Jason Shen blow his knee and how???

I badly want to know when he'll be back...

[iamyellowj]

Thanks for all the great comments - I enjoyed making this video and I'm glad you like it. The song is called "Defeat Your Foes" by To Whom it Concerns

[addictedtoflips]

[neoz]

i love gymnastic very much! But here my country is suck! All the paents send their kids to school. Not enough school, they send us to college to become a philosophy which I hate very much! I just want to become one of the great athlete and not a philosopher! Philisophy SUCK! Why all people wanna go to school until some age? I got more talent other than just going to school, and college everyday! FUCK SCHOOL! FUCK COLLEGE!
