This video inspired me (at 18y/o) to start training body weight exercises. It is never too late to start.

@WalmartBiker Gymnasts don't train for strength in their legs as they generally require explosive power rather than resistance strength. this means that they will usually not be able to leg press much more than their body weight because they have never had to embrace that endurance strength. a gymnast will condition their body however to contain the maximum amount of muscle in the smallest amount of space with the least amount of body fat, this means their upper body will be hugely toned :)

the preformer's name is dominic lacasse he holds the guiness world record for holding the human flag :)

[burdedacid]

I wonder how they can do the human flag, with both foot aiming up. The most I can do, is horizontal, and only for 2-3 secondes!

@WalmartBiker - Gymnasts have strong legs, but not incredibly strong legs. To my knowledge, in most gymnastic events, the legs are just extra baggage that add extra weight, so they need to keep them as small as possible. Gymnasts can move like that because they have incredibly strong upper bodies. That, plus some olympic lifting, power lifting, dead lifting, squatting, heavy lunging and split squatting would make you a BEAST. :D

@WalmartBiker the ones I know in person only train them for balance and flexibility. So yes they do, but not for strength, so they will be strong but nothing impressive.

[WalmartBiker]

@iLoGiiKzv0 But do they ever train their lower body?

[iLoGiiKzv0]

@WalmartBiker small doesn't mean weak, they train another kind of strength, bodyweight and isometrics, that is pure strength not like bodybuilding which focused more on hypertrophy
