Finally someone showing up the true purpose of gym machines.

I hope peoplr realize how hard some of these exercises for a tall guy like you. You are an inspiration and it is obvious that you have been making some gains. Keep it up.

You've come a long way, I remember when you first built the pull up bar in your backyard. Great job brother.

I am now into Phase 1, Week 2 of the Upper Body BBR for the 4th time, a total of 55 consecutive weeks. The incredible functional gains of Daniels’ programme has literally put me into the best shape of my life, at 57....with little to no pain, what a bonus compared to plate lifting. The program, most importantly, is fun to do. You will see your performance improve functionally, and as a result it is easily committed to over the long term. Plus you don’t need a gym, so you can pretty much train anywhere. Thankyou for this video, I love the dip press, and the horizontal bar rotation. Many of the other exercises are covered in the program.

@1:00 Daniel demonstrates the absolute best use of that Nautilus machine.

00:05 you just motivated someone 😏 I expect to see him as the new calisthenic King in a few years..

Awesome video, thank you Daniel! 💪🏽🙌🏼 The scapula is the important part when it cames to static movements and bodycontrol 🤙🏼

thanks Daniel!I will purchase some content of yours to express the respect that you deserve after all these years that i m watching you! I am a physics student and i love the fact that you create content based on body mechanics! :-) cheers mate!

I love how peaceful and powerful your videos are. Great job. And thank you for the tip about the scapula. Humbling it is! 😏

Thank you for sharing all this, this is exactly what i needed. so so hard to find a mentaly balanced teacher on youtube

Thanks A LOT for this particular vid, Daniel!

Tried some planche hold and front lever hold progressions yesterday and I definitely need to work on my scapular and wrist/grip strength before those... This video is sooo useful, thanks a million bro.

Great video!! Super relevant and important

Epic as always! Thank you!

Solid. Totally fresh content.

You are one of the fewest Fitness KZfaqrs who are addressing this largely ignored but highly functional aspect of pulling exercises. And you are fucking killing it. Keep up the sweet job mate! Cheers! 🍻

Thx for this great content!

Thank you for posting this insightful video.

this is gold! thanks brother

watching your vid together with cali move '8 best supersets' vid as music in the background. best combo.

This video is Gold. I don't do calisthenics, but scapula is one part that I haven't got a handle on and i feel is holding back the rest of my weight program .. Thanks for sharing .. 👍

Excellent information. Thank you.

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!.......I believe you exposed my “Achilles heel” with weak handstand strength is probably not my shoulder or tricep strength, but my scapular weakness. I appreciate your great advice and giving me the direction I now need to go in my quest for handstand hold. The four planes of scapular strength exercises make complete sense to me.

Watching this again- still SO GOOD!

Man you videos make me want to get back into it really bad. very good video. thank you.

Always nice content. 👌🏽

Dropping golden knowledge as always

Thank you for the fantastic vid

thanks for the info!

thanks bro your awesome, love ur work, i really appreciate it

Nice!!!, this is one of the best youtube calisthenics channel. You are awesome man! 👏👏👏

Very very good video. Well done

Great video very informative

Amazing brother

I did these about 10 years ago as had a lawn mowing business and was always pushing pulling the mower. Althpugh for a different reason good to see the same exercises. They felt tough to do knew they were doing something.

Wowww...such an amazing share

This channel is a gem

You just inspired that boy at 0:05 amazing stuff youre doing!

Excellent video

Oooooooo thank you so much for this i will think to add on my routine

3:01 Turtle mode activate

Liked it before watching.

Love the beat in the background

Please make a video on why gymnasts are so ripped and what we can learn from them.. love your content as always...

Omfg thank you…I train at home with minimal equipment, rings/pull-up bar are about all I use, the isolated exercises for the scapula are challenging, but I can feel my scapula fully contract when doing the exercises on the rings.

Thanks for posting this. Where in a workout would you work these? Any programming tips?

Best Calisthenics channel bar none.

Great video, I am struggling to get to the next level with my front lever and handstand. Can I achieve the same results with these scapula exercises using rings?

Awesome video

Strong bloke!!!

Brooo this is useful af!!! And exactly what I need to develop right now... Thanks and keep it up!!!

Thanks for the tips: I will pay $15 per day to go to the Y temporarily. I think they have good equipment and my health is worth the price. I can't commit yet not knowing where I will live in town yet. I do Jeff Cav's face pulls, which do some work on the rotator cuff. These are a really good set of exercises I want to do also, eventually. I do wall supported handstands but I'm being careful about the shoulder and wrist since I got brief and only occasionally very light tingling in some fingers. May be related to hitting funny bone a ways back.

you helped a lot

A perfect 10/10,,, amazing Daniel

I feel so weak after watching you buddy, I bought rings & so my journey begins

What parallel bars were shown at end of video?

The leaning plank also has done amazing results for my scapula stability

Sir you are superb

Thanks Bro! Respect from Russia!

I started planking and it is helped with planche immensely

This video was pure class

Yes man rocking the white feiyues my absolute favorite shoe hands down for training

Something I needed yes 💪

Hi, could you do a video on topic how to fix hyperextensiobs? Knees and elbows?

adding some of these today. thank you. being a beginner sucks!

Thanks Daniel

This is great.

Thanks!

1. Pike shoulder taps - tap the ground gently Progression - HS shoulder taps, elbow taps of too hard. 2. Dip shrug - straight elbows, retracted scapula Progression - add weight with dip belt 3. Scapula pull (on bar) - shrug on the way down and up. Progression - add weight 4. Arch active hang - progressively increase range of motion until eventually the waist hits the bar. Forcefully retract and depress scapula 5. Single arm scapula pushup or with both hand with rubberband 6. Horizontal scapula pull - straight arms, pause in peak scapula retraction

What's up my bodyweight warriors 🙏

Scapular lat pulldowns, def a humbling calisthenics move. Guess I'm back to the basics

A key takeaway I always have from your videos is to not rush calisthenic exercises. Time and Time again I forget to mindfully execute some calisthenic exercises.

I loved how tall ppl like him also working calisthenics and flexibility 💪👌💯

Needed this, Bro 👊🏽 You think it'd be possible to apply these as a corrective measure? *Rotator cuff/impingement issues already cited

Here I am with impingement in both shoulders, about 80% muscle atrophy, watching this video and trying not to fall into a pit of despair 😞

you are a master of bodyweight

thanks!!!

ill try that

Thats a sick gym

have u ever considered doing ASMR? i'm waiting. your voice is very soothing

This channel is so underrated..

Thanks for the video. When you're doing the handstand, are you tensing? Love from UK❤

I use all the scapula pulls & pushes as a warm up.

We have so many exercises for every muscle and we can't possibly do all of them in a single workout session so, I wanted to ask that how many exercises should I choose per muscle to add in my workout for that muscle? So that I could have an effective workout..

has anyone tried dedicating a day a week only for these kind of exercises or should they be done in the same sessions as your normal workout?

Quality!!!!

I do the hanging scap pulls with my arms in a wide arm position. Is that as effective as the straight overhead position you demoed?

I'd really like to add that specific training to my routines but I never find time. I try to work my scapulas at the same time I do the full exercices it's possible and you spare some time.

So you recommend arching your back inwards as if you were trying to place a ball on the back when doing front levers? Many calistenics guys ive seen say to crouch the back making it round when doing front lever.

*Daniel's biceps looking 9 months pregnant in the thumbnail!*

Does shrugging the shoulders during the shoulder taps mean pushing the shoulders towards or away from the ears?

Thank you

Cant believe all of this is for free. You and Tom are definetly one of the best out there
