L - V - Pike Press

[Keiloces]

How do you train the muscles to lift your hips over your shoulders?

[winterwebkinz5]

do you do gymnastics training :/

[Sinjid142]

nice bro! I can do the same, expect only straddle press from V :/

[aviv6jx]

wow .. strong

[Grandmuscle]

Cool! Almost looked liked that scene from Ninja Assassin with Raizo and bed of nails

[Pawl2]

how often do you train or exercise? do you do pushups and pullups and other things on a daily basis? do you try to get sore, and if y ou do, do you wait to recover or do you train through it? i ask this because i know if you wait untill you are not sure your muscles will heal, and therefore get bigger. i find myself getting too body builder like!

[St4nster]

HOW CAN ANYTHING BE CLEANER THAN THAT?!

[10000wingsformarie]

your frame gives you a strong foundation

[roblimusic]

CLEANER! Where on like the carpet???? I wish I was so shabby LOL

Your forms sharp dude!!!

[fachailoo]

hey how do you train for V and Pike press? What exercise should I do to train up?

[tocoruebe]

that s damn cool, but i wish to own your vaccum

[TORRiii89]

i could do that in my sleep...... kidddinngg

thats awesome and your control mmm my goodness !!

[GodsofDreams]

Do you need to able to hold a planche to be able to press from a pike position? or is flexibility the only requirement? hmm

[raphaelb]

No, planches are not a prerequisite. Flexibility and active compression is the key factor for this skill.

[GodsofDreams]

ahh okay, thank you for answering mate! Keep the vids coming!

[StevenSWM]

Why have you stopped making vids? What you do is awesome to watch!

[obergayer]

[xtragel]

hey man don't be a hater. lets all be a little more positive and supportive instead of pessimestic cynical people

[91Brewer]

very clean to me :) im trying to work towards this sort of stuff eventually, just a quick questiona re you gymnastically trained or self taught?

[raphaelb]

mostly self taught - I took a small amount of recreational gymnastics, and a short period of professional circus training (but I was too weak at the time to get much out of it)

[alex5theman]

Man you surely are strong! I'm trying so hard to get this, could you please tell me how you train for that? I don't get any reply from other videos with the press handstand but hope you will reply...

[HarmonyOfElements]

So.. Any tips other than HARD WORK AND DEDICATION! ^^?

[BigAl004]

Not too bad??!! It's perfection!!! at least to the untrained eye..... :)

Was just wondering if you could tell me where to get those white trousers from. I've looked around and can't find any of them.

Thanks and astounding work

[raphaelb]

I think I got them at lululemon in victoria bc, though you can probably find them anywhere that sells yoga pants.

[NnjaSteve]

lol trousers..

[ty3luna]

How long have u trained to get these results,

I am 30 and have absolutely no experience....do u think I can still train myself to learn this kind of skill?

[raphaelb]

Hmm 3 comment replies have disappeared into the ether... Anyway. Yes you can do it. Your success will be a factor of your hard work and dedication. I started at 17 and was 19 or 20 in this video, so 2-3 years. msg if you need more specifics.

[iamsomotionless]

incredible form - can i ask im not that flexible at the moment but i see potential in myself, is it possible to improve your flexibility, once your my age ( 19 )

[Luke31191]

of course you can... but obviously will not be easy...

If you train hard yourself you still can get a very good flexibility

[raphaelb]

You can improve strength, flexibility, anything at any age.

[kosseh]

Clearly. The thing actually is that at younger age ppl (kids) are more flexible by nature and if they don't use the full range of motion with muscle and joints, they tend to get stiff. So at older age you just have to reach the same lvl which you could have easily held if started maintaining your body at younger age.

[iHarmonicDissonance]

@iamsomotionless of course. Go for it

[raphaelb]

@iamsomotionless Absolutely. You can improve your flexibility at any time in life.

[LiliaSammer78]

MAAAAAN, training to do that is sooooo bad.

But someday I do it....

[manoladonna07]

oooo great ;)

As someone that struggles to do more than a few push ups, I applaude you.

[dougstyla91]

[raphaelb]

Several years now, with varying intensity and seriousness...
