Ninja Warrior - Human Flag Training #2 of 3 (The Ultimate Oblique Exercise)

[007SuaveRico]

whats the song called?

[andres1963]

Wow! Excellent. Now... how you train to get to this point? I would love to try, but I have noticed that although in fairly good shape.. I am still weak, I guess, in my oblique muscles....so the question is How do you train the obliques in a way to get really strong in the mid section? Any suggestions? Thank you for this great upload. So...this request is pretty much the same as "KraayZeeEyez". All the best!!! :)

[wiimanslammer]

man this looks intense and i want to try it, but what can i expect for my top arm, am i pulling up on it, or pushing out, or what? can someone give me advice?

[chatzi24]

so you need a very strong core and strong arms?

[namaki2010]

i can do with my .......

[Saepokegai]

Nice training, but your facts about ninjas are wrong. First of all; ninjas don't do trainings like what you demonstrated and second; ninjas are not warriors, they're assassins.

[LHSStuntman]

@Saepokegai First of all: You're an idiot.

Secondly: Yes, in history ninjas fought side by side with Samurai they were not simply assassins.

Third: It's a show called Ninja Warrior, get your head out of your ass.

[jgrizzard]

That was amazing bro keep up the good work! You have just encouraged me to try that so I will be sending you my medical bills lol

[destructionman1]

So is this guy going on Ninja Warrior or what?

[hpdragon723]

This is insane dude.  Awesome!!!!!!

[randomneepo]

Wider grip is much easier, trust me.

[jabbawookie1]

whats the song....

[ryanj8822]

nice, you don't see many people doing both right and left sides.

[AtriX99]

What are name of the songs in part 1 2 and 3 :)

[Thehamez]

Any advice for someone JUST starting out who wants to do these? Like, is there any exercises to build up to this, or is it just trial and error till you get it?

[pocock24]

Is it all about arms or stomach or both ??

[NixSeraph]

I'd say both. Having the weight of your entire body suspended outward places a great deal of strain on your arms and shoulders. And, naturally, you need to have a very strong core, as well. If your arms are strong enough to hold your entire body weight suspended outward and your core is strong enough to hold the weight of your legs suspended outward, you're then strong enough to do Human Flags. I guess the best way to find out is to go try it for yourself. Good luck.

[aulakh200]

nice training, could u make a vid on how to do the human flag please?

[indiandave34]

-Bryan Legge-

[NixSeraph]

Don't worry, Bryan. More are soon on their way.

[KraayZeeEyez]

Hm. Do a video that shows what kind of exercises that helps to do the flag. That would be great :)

[DICKRUNNER100]

heh ill vote for ya in ANC4

[VaiYai]

Hey Jake, I'm happy to see you're still training hard. I've been thinking about working this exercise for a while now, but I'm not sure if I've got the strength. Any suggestions on exercises that I could use to build up the oblique strength without actually doing the flag or tucked flag? Also, you should check out some other holds like the front plank, back plank, and planche.

[stepan75]

Fascinating.

As all your others videos.

PS: Are you sure that you are human? ;-)

[NixSeraph]

Human, huh? I think so. Maybe.

Thanks for the comment and the p.s. note--which I thought was hilarious.

[dangerousd666]

I appreciate that, and good luck with boot camp.

[ewoodham]

rooting for you as always! only 2 months to go!

[NixSeraph]

Yep, 2 months until the G4 Entry Video Voting starts. Then, two months after that, Sasuke 22 in Japan!  To say that I'm just a LITTLE excited would be a HUGE understatement. Thanks.
