Thank you!

Wow, thank you

Woops wrong address 😬

Glad this helps. Keep in mind, the stalls are *supposed to be* difficult. That's why they are there - to challenge you :)

@@gmbfit I concur... Please add this to the Elements course. I struggle with the stall and this video was amazing info to clear things up for me.

@@DailyDoing you're *supposed to struggle* with the challenging parts ;)

@@gmbfit Julien 76 and I are not saying it is not supposed to be difficult or a struggle, our point is the video helped us to understand why and was very helpful and should be part of Elements.

@@DailyDoing I appreciate and fully comprehend what you are saying.

I’ve been doing them for awhile. ;)

Thanks

Thank you!

Thanks! Glad you like it. :)

For sure! Just going back and forth with these slow/stalled monkey movements can be a pretty serious workout.

Shockingly, our programs are built on the very principles we espouse! ;)

Thanks :) We've gotten a lot of mileage out of these movements.

Thanks! Enjoy it :)

Stalls are great :)

Everyone struggles with the stalls. They are difficult. That's how they build so much strength.

Haha. Yep, they’re tough! But with practice you’ll definitely get better. Keep at it!

Slowing down is a great way to build control.

Thank you!

Sure thing!

Well, given how much he's practiced, it should be pretty easy for him by now ;)

Completely makes sense. I also did a lot of yoga and really enjoyed it. There's a lot of value in doing a similar practice that has a different context :)

Not actively flexing the feet to squat. See our various videos on the squat position and ankle mobility... and watch for our next video which will also be relevant for this :)

Try exhaling

Sure it's possible, and yes, we've shown it, even if you don't see every bit of content we post ;) But the bigger question is this: Is stalling your goal? Or is getting stronger more capable? Because in the latter case, it doesn't get if you get a stall. *Working towards stalling,* as we show in this video and teach in the program, is the thing that will make you stronger and build your body control.

@gmbfit Building strength and flexibility is important to me, and that is my main goal. I just wonder if achieving the stall is really possible for most women who practice this. I have seen GMB content of women managing the high monkey but not the stall. It's not shown in elements, and I can't find it on youtube or in the GMB community. The stall is featured a fair bit in elements, for me it's more about managing my expectations, knowing that only a small percentage of women can do this would make me feel less disappointed or knowing that it is very achievable could motivate me to try harder. If you could show a woman achieving this, it would also inspire me. Please share a link if you can. I really enjoy GMB courses, and it's an integral part of my fitness. I'd just like to know if I am realistic in hoping to progress to the stall. GMB courses are excellent, and I highly recommend them. Thank you.

@@MiaNomoNomo "most women," ...probably not, because most women are not practicing this. but yes, women can definitely do it. it has almost nothing to do with gender and quite a lot to do with specifically practicing for it over a long enough period. I assure you, it's also quite difficult for men.

@gmbfit thank you for the encouragement. I'd love to see the GMB examples you mentioned.

@@MiaNomoNomo look for our clients and trainers on instagram if you want videos of people who aren't Ryan :)

much appreciated :)
