GymnasticBodies.com - Manna

For those few who persevere through the developmental process, the manna provides a impressive overall return on the effort invested; developing a high degree of both static strength and active flexibility simultaneously, as well as substantial core strength.

The following is an introductory essay on progressively building a manna for yourself:

In addition, the Xtreme Rings which have been used to build much of this athlete's strength, are available here:

Is it possible to do an l-sit or manna press to handstand with straight legs and straight arms? like I see most people bent or crossing their legs from an l-sit and then pushing with bent arms to a handstand? 

[GymnasticBodies]

Yes, the pressing thru the bottom with straight arms/legs is possible and commonly seen. In gymnastics, no credit would be given for such a press with either bent arms or crossed legs. The people you have observed performing them in this manner either have insufficient or improper physical preparation for that particular exercise.

@GymnasticBodies oh wait, i forgot to mention on the floor lol because with parallel bars the space beneath you allows your legs the clearance it needs. so yeah i mean on the floor.

[GymnasticBodies]

Yes, I meant on the floor as well :).

@rafalweb dude, you cant even do what's in this video, and you cant even bench press (or any bodybuilding exercises). what are you good for then? your statement is pointless, and cant be taken seriously. you are a loser, sir.

[artakisthebest]

@rafalweb once again mate no need to hate, different people different goals, doesnt make one or the other sport any easier or harder, its like fitting a corndog in a keyhole, well maybe a shit analogy, but you catch my drift, btw bask in your glory of 38 likes all you like, i just felt the need to adress this

[Plecebo1996]

@rafalweb Because they don't train to do it you retard? I'd love to see a weak gymnast bench press 800lbs. Will never happen.

@mpgars yes but gymnastics is more functional strenght as well as calisthenics exercices. You cant get flexible by lifting weights, unless you dont practice your stretching every week. And gymnastics gives you a better body, much more graceful than others. There are not many benefits lifting weights, you gain muscle, you gain strenght, but you also gain to hurtyourself, hurt your joints. And you look a bit ridiculous, when you're like Ronnie Coleman or friends
