Human Flag Training

I'm not quite there yet, but here are some of the exercises I'm doing to become better at the human flag. I did three sets of each exercise on each side. Enjoy!

i was truly surprised to see that you're even training to do a human flag, seeing everything else you can do cause of your back and core strength. does the human flag require that much strength in your lat and oblique muscles?

[geoffcraft]

@alclangerbad I'm tall (5'10") and heavy (185+ lbs) and I have a ridiculously long armspan (6'4") so the human flag is a little harder for me.

Can you handle it human flag on vertical bar?

[geoffcraft]

@ladiCZekabin yeah, but it's not very good yet. still training :)

awsome vid! just wondering if you use weights at all? im trying to slowly phase out weights and just do body weight exercises, think i may keep weights just for shoulders and squats but everything else i think would be doable without

[geoffcraft]

@jonjagp i definitely use weights for Olympic lifts and power lifts, and sometimes for special exercises for shoulder strength and stability.

So happy that you've come back to youtube and are making more videos! You were gone for a long time! I was so surprised to see you in my subscription feed.

you make it look easy, but these exercises are heavier than human flag itself. at least for me.

i don't know what am i doing wrong but i roll in shoulders back and forward so i flip from the position. any tips please!

@jonjagp You should definitely not be phasing out weights. As geoffcraft said... they are incredibly useful for Olympic/Power lifting... however, you need proper training... go to your local hardcore gym... a real one, not a crappy mega fitness/ymca one. I recommend Crossfit gyms or gym strictly for Olympic lifting or power lifting. These lifts will make you a lot stronger. good luck.
