[stroeiulian04]

nice  !

[Nityananda108]

Great video, do you have any other videos like this one, especially for rings?

[Homeruler99]

Guys how do i start doing the L push ups?

[MrMbogza]

@Homeruler99 work on static L hangs for time from rings, bar etc. until you feel strong enough to hold it with pullups. you can add ankle weights to get even stronger . also a problem i have, like many other people, is hamstring flexibility. always helps to stretch antagonist muscles so the abs and hip flexors dont have to work even harder against gravity. then slowly add it to your pullups, and voila!! L pullups .

necesitaba esto! gracias =)

[MigueLedN22]

is that Jordan Jovtchev??

[gogomogotogo]

@MigueLedN22

Yes!

[13andincrediblycut]

im 13 200 and can do one arm ring pull/chin ups and muscle ups(not with one arm yet though tHAT'S INSANE)!!! :)

[asdf2000]

@13andincrediblycut

put up a video of it or you're just spouting words which anyone can do

[StanAlekseev]

I was able to hold the front lever thing for about 5 sec (on a bar) but I've never pulled down with my hands oO

[KraZKaiL]

uhh...how do gymnasts develop their core that well. (be able to have legs straight)

what excercises to start with?

[NoMotif]

@KraZKaiL

flexibility. Work on touching your toes (both sitting and standing). Does worlds of good. Also try shotguns: they're like leg lifts, but keeping your legs tucked, lift your knees into your shoulders, as high as you can. hold 10 seconds after each set of repetitions.

[180Patrick360]

@KraZKaiL - check out: gymnastic bodies dot com (the dot com is because of an error)... good luck!

[erwinrommel1940]

Its really great video , thanks alot man

[soulofone]

this is fantastic information

[Fintinobrien]

How could a beginner start to work towards that kind of strength?

[alacranmontoya]

@Fintinobrien by working on regular pullups and chin ups on a bar, if you can't perform one at all, you should rest your legs on something, at the begging you should have some pain on the skin of your hands, but you get used to it and develop harder skin (avoid gloves those are for girls and sissies in the weights gym) go out and train dude!

[jukcoder]

Thanks for the video. Great start for a newbie like me. If I will be able to do these moves - that will be cool. Ring workout is a different level from anyother training

[CompleteJiuJitsu]

we just installed rings in our Jiu-Jitsu school for working out and building core strength. I have a new respect for all gymnasts. Everything on the rings is WAY harder than it looks. Its a great workout, even for people who are looking to add to their weightlifting routine.

[stroeiulian04]

Great job !!!

[vladimiry]

Respect ;) Jordan Jovchev is one of the best gymnasts imo... He hasn't won only the olympics, won silver medal in rings in athens 2004... i still believe he deserved it.

[cranebeg]

i wish i hadn't bothered buying the dvd all the worthwhile drills are in this clip. Darn it!

[ColdSpring1984]

I can do 25-30 ring pull ups continually and same reps of dips (...so it musn't be a condition problem ) but i can do never a one the muscle up execrise.. Will you help me how to improve my technics?

[zodawg0079]

Pull the rings into your chest and use a false grip.

[alepeccia]

Keep the rings under your chin, close to your chest. You won't be able to do them as Jordan does, at the beginning. As he says, use the false grip.

[Minigolfer1995]

hast du hände aus stahl oder was??:D

[ChrisBranleh]

how long did it take everyone before their hands became conditioned to the rings?

[wazzy198]

Like a week for me.

[Ryu88888888]

OH! he's too strong for strenght and mass!

I need ring!

[04osbornj]

do you mean muscle ups?

(simon)

[SimonEigo]

ahh thank you so can do it? than just show me how! or go away with your senseless comments!

[Silent13Assassin]

This is from his DVD, right?

[SimonEigo]

how can i get the last pullups which goes all the way up i think my pullups are ok but i really cant bring my shoulders over the bar or the rings

are there any basics i need to do it?

[equinox2244]

practice the false grip exercise.

[SimonEigo]

what means false grip? do he grab the first pullups only with his finger ??

[cryingindian]

nah watch his hands closely on the third excersise. his changes his grip so his hands are further around the ring so rather than having straight wrists he has bent wrists

[SimonEigo]

ye thank you !

[cryingindian]

haha its ok man :)

[Andythefunkman]

to be honest, this is one of the best videos about pull-ups, chin-ups, core strength, ability. Congrats. Simple and great!

[gijsco]

From what I gather, the reps are limited to 5-8 on most ring movements. But how many 'sets' of a movement do you do? Or does it depend on the skill level of the gymnast?

[gijsco]

Nevermind - "until failure or pain.."

[matthewmovement]

For maximal strength it seems a 3-5 set x 3-5 reps is the way to go. Don't go until failure, it increases the recovery time.

[equinox2244]

Yeh- was wondering about the amount of sets my self perhaps elite gymnastics do around 3-5...

[qbfifthson]

Yeah, around 3 sets of 5 each, depends on your strength

[fi5661]

haha elite gymnasts dont even do this type of strength, this is easy for them

[long1468]

lol ummm jordan jovtchev, the gymnast in the vid, is an elite gymnast

he won a lot of medals like olympics and world championships

[ChainChomp2]

There's a video of him demonstrating planche pushups that he does for WARMUP.

[vladimir2277]

nothing like getting tips from the best!

[hobrwk]

This video is really helpful.  Thanks.

[HankLafayette]

I'm interested in getting started with ring training and am under the impression that even the basic movements require a fair degree of strength. How does one get started from scratch? I have no illusions of gold medals (I'm 31 and I think that window of opportunity has closed on me). It does seem that gymnastics is geared towards the young and if you don't get into it in your youth there aren't many programs geared towards adults. Any entry level advice for adults would be greatly appreciated.

[twee881]

Um. Practice.

Age holds no barrier to strength training. Training the movement is usually the best answer anyone could give you besides working up to it by doing simple pull ups or something. And also; never push it, cause you'll get hurt easier. This stuff comes naturally as you get stronger in the movement.

Best of luck to you.

[ThorPughet]

Yeah... Practice, as twee said. Start with pull-ups show in the video and skin the cat also. Once you master those two with good form, you can advance to levers, finally going to muscle-ups.

Every progression for a skill is doing it with bent legs, then straddled, then one leg bent other straight(do both sides!), lowering the skill with straight legs, finally doing it with straight legs and holding...

Hope it helps!

[BlacksVideos]

Awesome.

Lol, I remember the time when I used to to Lpull-ups under our staircase in our house :D

[Andythefunkman]

L pull-ups are very hard but not impossible. Congrats.

[BlacksVideos]

Yeah.. Thank you.

[zodawg0079]

I agree...there was a point where I could not do one and now I can do them in sets of 5...it just takes body control and lots of training.

[IcarusFlying]

man there's not enough stars to mark this guy ! ! 6/5! INCREDIBLE

[GabonatorJ]

how many sets and reps shoul I do of each?

[747justinh]

like he said, keep them short (about 8-10 at the most) or just do it until failure

[Experience2027]

when he's doing those pullups, his legs are fucking straight, body fucking steady

[atsall]

dont swear poofter

[Experience2027]

sorry. i meant what he demonstrates is really good. i got excited and was being vulgar.

[Morthica]

haha that was funny

[tengolibro]

@atsall lol, poofter means homosexual in british terms.......anyone read the fool?

[Experience2027]
