Yah bro I was going to talk trash about it at the first part of the song being corny sap, but it's branches out and gets pretty intense. Talented whoever it is.

Relax... Yes the song choice was pretty rough on this one, but the hate comments HELP YOUR VIDEO... So just relax and let them help the YT algo work for you.

@@made4snipinator I know its good for the algorithm, but I couldn't care less. This is not what this channel is about

Terrible music choice. Do better.

Great tribute and the music compliments the video..

That on top of all the gear he was running can do crazy things

​@@bigbarrafulyou can't use gear on olympics

@@netto1277 I don't know for Yuri himself, but to think they don't use gear in the olympics is ridiculous. They "don't use" because they don't get caught using. The doctors who give it to them are the ones who developped the testing protocols, so they know how to fool the tests.

to say it has nothing to do with talent is plain wrong

classic example of government violence and arrogance, but the fault belong only to us who believe in "democracy" where just hundreds of people can decide about our life ...

Alot of people out here saying rings are only if you wanna be a gymnast. I kindly say fuck that. I'm commin for ya Yuri... as I still struggle with rings turned out support holds

Bro is also 5’3” and like 135lbs.

As is every olympic level rings gymnast. They are hard, give them a try. If you are heavy they are harder. If you are tall then you are heavy.

You are literal cringe.

Hardwork not talent

Gymnastic is hard hard work every day.

Most average joes are just one deep ring dip away from snapping the whole shoulder girdle and obtaining maxed tendinitis in both joints and proceeding to snap the legs as well as they deep squat their way to full body snap city. The overpriced therapy required will take the rest.

@@parkerwilliamson1205 I made that stupid error when I began doing body weight dips going real deep like a hero Both shoulders are still crook til this day. These days I just go to 90 degree elbows . It takes years to develop the strong tendons

​​@@TroysHIITsprintsluckily my shoulder wasn't healthy enough anyways because of baseball to go too deep. So it kept me from going too ham because just looking at em brought pain lol but now I can do a full routine with no pain all due to seed retention really. Never would have healed otherwise. Probably still be drinkin too. God speed bro keep pumpin

@@parkerwilliamson1205 yep best thing you can do is keep moving in some form .

You gotta achieve the mindset too , but even then any tweaks or old tears or bad lifestyle habits that get in the way, for atleast 10 good years of work? Forget about it. And you gotta do it in that sweet spot of your prime years that it can handle the overtraining that is necessary for that peaking phase for max effort performances. And even then to do as good as him is still unlikely. Legend

Thank you. True, let's hope he knows how many people he inspires. pure icon

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's horrible

I'm glad you like it so much. I hope the videos can motivate you further in the future. Thank you for the support.

​@@art_of_defying_gravityThe athlete is amazing, a great inspiration, but the music you chose is horrible.😅

​@@Philipp007 taste is subjective, I loved the song

@@justaguyfromreddit I agree🙂👌

Agreed. The ‘music’ is fucking atrocious…

The music is perfect! Good choice!

Your music taste is bad

Mute

But the music is pure shit

Dr density

I was about to disagree with you when I heard Aphex Twin at the start, but after hearing the second track I agree fully.

@@bjm1777 yeah Apex twin is legit, it was the second song for sure.

And back, biceps, triceps, core. Literally everything from the waste up.

For boxing you need a different kind of strength. Boxing works a lot with kinetic energy/ force. Meaning most of the power comes from the lower part of the body.

They would do better at wrestling than boxing, boxing requires explosiveness more than sustained periods of strength.

I think everyone has his problems and we all have and will do mistakes. I think we shouldn't interpret too much. What we do know is that he is a great athlete and he deserves this.

@@art_of_defying_gravity i am not trying to speculate or imagine things beyond what all the involved people, including van gelder, have said. his colleagues have said he is a party guy, and he himself admitted as such. he has two sides to him, where he is a serious and top form athlete, but also a propensity towards partying and vices. i don't care to make a moral judgment, because no one is perfect. however, it is simply my personal opinion that van gelder made a serious mistake to drink and party (even if a little bit) before such an important moment of his career such as the olympics, especially when he was already on thin ice for being caught positive for cocaine before multiple times. he should definitely have given his performance, for which he was actually a very strong contender to get gold, and THEN partied and got drunk as much as he wanted. instead, he made a crucial mistake to drink before, and the olympic committee and coaches etc. simply could not allow that since he was already considered penalized before for cocaine use. but, alas, that is simply how addiction and short-term thinking works, and we simply have to accept that addiction comes in many forms and can affect anyone. this is what i take away from the life story of van gelder, hopefully even if his olympic career is gone forever, he can continue to bring up gymnasts, gymnastics, and especially speak to the glory of the rings for the rest of his life. after all, in the calisthenics and gymnastics community he is very well regarded as a talented gymnast. his story can be inspiring precisely due to his mistakes, and not inspite of it.

Rings is the only real gymnastics discipline, the rest are easy in comparison. Van Gelder is probably the best there ever was on rings. A bureaucratic mess like the olympics cant affect that fact, much as they wish they could. He was not a drug addict, he was a sportman.

The time and investment he made in gymnastics was way more than partying. There are people that basically make partying a full time thing, often musicians and bartenders, etc. He wasn't like that. All it takes is one incident is a month long period to fail a drug test, or it could be even more than one month, depending on the nature of the test. Edit: I suppose the leaving the Olympic village when he knew it would get him disqualified did demonstrate a genuine problem of self-control, although the performances stand on their own. I don't like him, but I would still cite Jon Jones as the best mixed martial artist ever, even though he was impulsive and frequently used drugs and drank/drinks to excess.

Not true. He admitted that he took cocaine in 2009 and got a suspension back than. Please get your facts right, if you claim something like this! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_van_Gelder

@@art_of_defying_gravity fair enough then my bad . I am not trying to defame him haha

Both are, unless you’re a simpleton

Both are impressive in their own right.

Well i beg to differ. Here is why . You could probably turn a gymnast into a bodybuilder, but i doubt you could turn a massive bodybuilder into a gymnast

@@carloscoll5249 a bodybuilder could definitely become a gymnast, granted it would take time. Unless you’re talking a power lifter. Most of the ones I train come from athletic backgrounds, if you think they’re all massive Lego block looking and slow, you’re misinformed

@@atticustibbs2415 Perhaps i am misinformed then by thinking that a pro or even semi pro bodybuilder could train for example for the flexibility of a top level gymnast. Or perhaps you are assuming what i feel a bodybuilder is.

Lmao of course he was juicing.

Sameee
