Impress your friends and train your core! (impressed friends not guaranteed) This is the 2023 update to the Elbow Lever short! While many progressions are given, feel free to experiment with what works for you! Some won't need all of these. Others will want more (shown on the website in the video). I see it kind of like giving someone weights at the gym. While they COULD work with increments like 25, 50, 75 lb/kg, it's nice to have smaller increments like 5, 10, 15 in case you need them! Rule of thumb - in calisthenics, I recommend spending more time on the "easier" progressions and building up a solid foundation. This helps improve our form and intentionality behind the moment. It gives you time to feel the position and explore as needed, so you really master the hold more. That's why some the holds are relatively long. That said, some people insist on shorter, intense holds. That's fine too! Here are the progressions: Goal Standards: Straight Arm Plank 3 Sets of 60 Seconds Bent Arm Plank 3 Sets of 60 Seconds Straight Arm Wall Plank 3 Sets of 50 Seconds Bent Arm Wall Plank 3 Sets of 50 Seconds Elbow Lever Grip 3 Sets of 30 Seconds Diagonal Elbow Lever 3 Sets of 30 Seconds Wall Elbow Lever 3 Sets of 20 Seconds Single Leg Elbow Lever 3 Sets of 15 Seconds (Both Sides) Bent Knee Elbow 3 Sets of 9 Seconds Straddle Elbow Lever 3 Sets of 9 Seconds Full Elbow Lever Have a beautiful day!

The fact this guy is helping so many people on the Internet and for free as well is so flipping heartwarming! 😆

“We’re all a bit ugly at first.” Profound words.😪

What I find most impressive is that you can speak while doing these moves.

man is a real sleeper build , those shoulders and triceps popped hard when doing the elbow lever damn

Thanks, dude. I haven't smiled today until "where's my thing? There's my thing!"

“Wall cousin” is my favorite part of this video. 😂

In 5 years i swear this guy will just be able to levitate

The most motivating and positive dude in the world. 🙏

Bro doesn't know how much i love him. Bro is majestic fr😭

The level of wholesome in every video ❤

I love when you show all the easier variations! It’s so helpful!

This man’s really moving people to have real body positivity 💪👍🤜

Been watching your shorts for years. You are always so kind and fun! You have an amazing spirit and I hope you know your face brightens a lot of peoples’ days.

I am not even doing the exercises, but you are a kind soul and hearing you makes life a little easier.

I’m glad the algorithm has put you in my feed

Very impressive how you can fit so much genuinely useful information into a short, thank you for doing this for us. Have a beautiful day Hampton.

Dude. You must hear this a lot. But you're amazing. So friendly and so useful information. Thank you!

Literally the nicest guy in the internet

I am very out of shape but you are a big inspiration for me. I strated a diet and started working out acoording to your videos a month ago. My goal is to be able to do anything that you show in these videos. I have a long way in front of me but I feel like I am ready to walk through it. Thank you very much for all your videos. And sorry for my bad English.

Elbow lever is one of the most easiest yet fun pose . I wanted to comment that I can do it but bro humbled me with the one arm one 💀💀💀

Motivating since day one thank you good sir

Sadly I used to be very flexible as a kid… after highschool going into college all I did was sit. Thank you for your channel^^

I really like this Guy, he is so wholesome to watch and enjoyable. He deserves more followers! He's a great teacher and motivator!

The best part is that you break it down into steps so that we don't just assume that we can't do it.

Love the way you break it down for us! 👌👍

Bro is the definition of happiness

“We’re all a bit ugly at first” caught me off guard. I love it 😂

I love this guy! ☺️ i cant work out anywhere near what he does, but hes just fun to listen to and watch. 😁👍

What I love about Calisthenics (and Hampton) that it's so minimal and simple you can even do it with your flip flops on... however the fancy "thing" is also lovely 😊❤

Thanks for the progression tips🙏🙇‍♀️

You seem like such a genuinely nice person. Great videos.

I started doing your exercises a week ago...I'm already feeling stronger! Thank you! You've inspired me by making a program that works for me. ❤

plank on concrete?!?! he is amazing

You are so awesome and wholesome, you're making me more excited to keep exercising and pushing myself!! Also if you told me to have a beautiful day, I definitely would!

You’re one of my favourite KZfaqrs, thanks for putting closed captions!!

I've been trying to get the elbow lever for a while now. Hopefully this works, thank u my man

Please don't ever stop

I don't work out and honestly I probably won't any time soon. But I'm subscribed bc Hampton's great. He's just the best. Love this guy

I enjoy your videos so much because you seem like someone who truly loves the beauty and art in kinesiology, and you just genuinely want to share that passion to help others. I hope you have a beautiful day as well. 😊

Holy moly!!! You're amazing!!! 👏 👏

Nobody noticed he's telling us to spread our legs 🤨

He’s always so kind and wholesome 😭

your comforting demeanor and reassuring compliments hurts me in a very good way. sometimes it is good to cry because of your trauma, if it was because of someone does smth positive to you. most of the time it's like you're draining puss out your infected wound, so it can begin to heal. thank you. i feel better

This is your best description video so far. Thank you. I'm saving it for my to do list.

You are an amazing human Hampton! I love your videos. ❤

Your videos and narration always makes me smile. Thanks! 👋🏻

@HybridCalesthenics : I'm pretty sure that you're the evolution of Superman, and barely touching those grips, as you pause your flight, midair. You're an inspiration. As soon as I get a medical procedure, I'm going to start doing your workouts.

You and the stayflexi guy should collab. Yall are both positive and helpful.

One of the most Positive humble strong guys I've seen on KZfaq

Outstanding incrememtal training examples THANK YOU FRIEND 😊❤

We are all a bit ugly at first 😂😂😂

This dude is so pleasant its refreshing

This is the best show of force you've done in this channel so far imho. Keep em coming!

"spreading is easier" 😅 I totally agree xD

I love your videos Hampton! Keep shining 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

"wall cousin" is the best description of a pillar I've ever seen I have no intention of ever doing an elbow lever, but it's fun to watch someone else do it. And it makes me want to keep trying other strength exercises and moving throughout my day.

Great video🤣 love the knowledge bur with a lovely hearty comedic value, my G🙌🙏

I love your energy!

and a big thank you , sorry for being a bit silly , the work you do & share is astounding . Even an old girl like me who has missed the boat on doing this type of exercise, is inspired .

You wholesome Legend! Thanks so much for what you do for folks!

These videos have always made my days better with the inspirational, "Have a beautiful day!"

I am learning more from your short videos than all others, I have lower back injuries and nerve damage in my hand, but you are showing me ways to get fit without a gym. Thank you for show us how to heal ourselves

"It's okay if it's a bit ugly at first...we're all a bit ugly at first." 😂😂😂😭😭😭💯❤️

Man , I didn't know these progressions , I had to learn it without these , directly attempting elbow lever , but it's easy too

this man is the king of polite suggestions

Love your videos and the stay flexi guy, it makes it all look doable.

"We're all a bit ugly at first" Hybrid Calisthenics hates babies #confirmed

You are the most wholesome being on here. I’m now heartwarmingly motivated to achieve this somehow!

I Watch a lot of work out and callisthenics videos to help motivate me to achieve my goal and I’ve got to say this guy is the one who’s truly inspires me the most. Thank you for posting your videos

I just love your humor 😂😂

His voice is so encouraging 😭😭 It makes me feel like I can actually try

I got one of your videos this morning. It's nine thirty nine at night and my arms still burn. Thank you, magic man.

This guy! 😂😂😂 I luv him! 🤜🏾🤛🏾

Glad you found your thing!

Wholesome and helpful

Why do these videos make me so happy? Idk, but this guy's a legend

This guy is helping me physically and mentally. You earned my sub and likes 👍

Always nice to see the algorithm hit it dead on. 🎯

These are the exercises that keep me motivated to go back to the gym. They’re legit fun and a great way to challenge myself as a great reminder to keep getting better.

Working against gravity I love it calisthenics

That 1 arm lever was insane

I wouldn’t be able to breathe let alone make a video doing this lol you’re the best!!!

I actually saw the first version of this, a year back, I was able to progress until I can do it :>. Its super fun! now I can do and hold it for 11 seconds with straight form

LOVE YOU BROTHER.

There is something about the way this guy comes across, the world could do with more like him

I want to mention your artistry. You were showing how to progress and I nearly believed that you are struggling with balance and can't get your legs from the ground.... Although I just so how you do it on one arm 😂 You surely have a lot of talents!

You'll make proud even Paul Wade.

I love your videos man!

Exactly the info I need, thank you so much. Great stuff

I remember in high school. Our headmaster of fish knows...maybe in his late 50s. He showed this in assembly (kinda like a group pep talk of like well done ) he moved a long table to the front of the assembly and showed this move to the whole school. It was really surprising to see him do as everyone thought that he was "just the headmaster" meaning he's old but he then went on to say "you can accomplish anything in life"

So many progressions of months or even years in single video 🔥🔥

I like that you do your exercises in chanclas.

Thank you for the tips!

this guys vibes are so good.

Wait I love ur channel because your like genuinely helping people improve and so polite abt it????

My dumbass is probably going to start with the hardest variation, fall over like 3 times, throw a tantrum then vow to never try this again because for some reason i expect myself to be perfect at everything first try

What an utterly Wholesome Guy. 🙂👍 This is similar to how i learnt to do pushups. Went with knee pushups for a while, then added in 5 full ones. That 5 turned to 7 then 10. Taking things in baby steps is always a fun way to learn exercises. And much safer too. 😂

easily one of my favorite party tricks as well as being just one of my favorite things to do around the house or really anywhere

I was working my way up to doing pushups with my legs off the ground but then got into a pretty bad accident leaving me in a coma and when i woke up my life was changed forever at which point i basically gave up. Your video's help me set goals and stay motivated. Thank you
