love to hear bro keep going!

Thanks guys! Really appreciate it

YAH baby😄🥶

Don't worry bro don't focus on your height, I have known tall people that can front lever it is very possible

Feeling pathetic, I can only do tucked and the one with my legs not tucked in so much. Half tuck? I noticed his hips were weak, should I do single hip thrusts?

@@datoolz0 Well, as I have read on your other comment it seems like you are 180cm. Calisthenics skills are usually more challenging for people that are taller. I am 168cm. But it does not mean you can't, my coach is 178 and can do a maltese. Just expect it to be a little longer journey. Back to your question: what do you mean your hips are weak? Does it mean that the hips are going below the shoulder when you try half advanced tuck? Then it probably means that your lats are weak. The thing is: full FL is a position that requires LOTS of lats strenght and abs strenght. When in tuck the body lever is minimum, but as you extend your legs forward the body lever increases a lot, requiring more lats strenght. What I would suggest is: pratice FL in a position you are confortable. If you can do tuck perfectly but not tuck advanced, then stay on the tuck version until you reach around 20-30seconds. Then go to tuck advanced until you reach 20-30second and one leg, straddle, half lay, full. But also, work on other exercises: pulldown is a great exercises for FL, pullups with weight, you could try FL raises in tuck or eccentric FL in tuck position. It's difficult to give precise advice as i haven't see your FL and your training program, these are general advices. Keep going!

@@Emanuele-mw8hc In the video, the poster suffered from weak hips. I noticed in his front lever his hips dipped down! I can already do dragon flags, and pullups, which should satisfy strength requirements. Do I need stronger hips? I don't want my hips to dip down. My plan is to from tucked to half tucked, basically straighten my legs a little more. So far front lever feels easy, but its probably because I am not yet at a hard enough progression.

@@datoolz0 You just need to put in effort and time. Form will come naturally.

@@datoolz0 I believe hip sagging can be down to either lat strength or core. I could already dragon flag so it was a pulling issue. Since you can dragon flag too I would say it’s down to pulling strength. Being able to do a few pull-ups is not enough I’d say you would need like 15+ and train weighted pull-ups if you can

Bro this is great! Don't worry and compare your progress to others, this is great progress

hey man, great that you started calisthenics! I dont have any expertise on the human flag, but for the front lever you would definitely want to get a strong base in the basics (pushup, dips) and especially pullups (15 i think) then start working with the easier progressions like tuck

@@andrew08wong Alright thanks, do you think I have an advantage with my build right now?

​@@pac8546 yeap your height is great. your weight is also on the lower end which is helpful for calisthenics, however I'm not able to tell whats the ideal weight as everyone functions differently. Being heavier may actually help if you get more muscle, but again I can't say for certainty

on the high bar you need to do an FL raise which is quite tough. On the low bars I think you have a point but I just feel more comfortable with a tuck somehow, it's still my go to entry. I'm working on front lever touch now!

Yes I did a lot of dragon flag training which helps with the straight line for the front lever. 10 pullups is not bad I think you can make a start with FL training, but keep training your pullups at the same time!

I have, I'm learning Front Lever Touch and FL pullups which it helps alot with. However, with regular FL I prefer regular grip

@@andrew08wong it’s good doing it with regular, is harder 👍🏻

Hmm I am a lot shorter, like 170cm and 59kg which does give me an advantage but I wouldn’t be able to tell you the rate of progress to expect as everyone’s different. Definitely seen a lot of tall guys front lever though it is extremely possible

It also depends on your base strength level as I could already do a couple muscle ups when starting off

@@andrew08wong I totally suck at muscle ups, can't even do a pullover. Should I nail them first before front lever?

@@andrew08wong Geek Climber, with even better stats than you or me, claims it is impossible! And while we can both attain it, based on me being 10cm taller, and 18 kilo heavier, I will need more strength to do it. Or just cut weight, I reckon if I am at 69-70 kilos it will be easy.

@@andrew08wong Are u sure u weigh 59kg and not more ?

Straddle seems quite hard to activate the hips, a half lay or straddle half lay worked great for me

you can learn without it but i would deffo learn using bands

no classic way is superior
