[QUOTE=D3TBS;38463773]aw man, youre making progress! I remember watching some of your stuff in that old dancing thread, thats good progress[/QUOTE] Haha thanks man!
Oh also guys! My coach just saw this video and said that I could participate in gymnastics competition with rings! I am a very late gymnast, so competition's are rarely done for someone this late as all the other competitors at my age are way better developed, but I guess I caught up with them with only 1 year of rings training and 2 years of strength!
Is this purely the result of a calisthenics home workout?
Salaam bro! (I take it you're Arab, cause of your name) How old are you? Video was great, and I envy you, your body is in awesome shape. How long did it take for you to achieve this level of fitness, 3 years total? Also, what age did you start? This has made me real interested in gymnastics (I've always wanted to start, but never had the courage). And like someone else previously asked, was this all from just home training, or do you go to a local gymnasium?
Kinda hoping you'd fall through the window

But I started at the age of 14 and yes this is all the result of home training. I also have a membership for gymnastics, but that's purely for tumbling and other gymnastics activities. I've seen a man in his 60's begin gymnastics and he is really good now! Great shape!
Just wondering how you got the rings to stay connected to the ceiling? I imagine a screw would tear out of most ceilings.

Doing this would dislocate my arm. My shoulder muscles are seriously weak. I've dislocated it with such tricks before at school.
[QUOTE=FPtje;38490953]Doing this would dislocate my arm. My shoulder muscles are seriously weak. I've dislocated it with such tricks before.[/QUOTE] Obviously jumping right in and doing this would pose a risk of dislocation. And it's not so much your muscles that are weak, as it is your tendons. The more you dislocate your shoulder (or whatever other part of your body), the weaker the tendons are and they are more susceptible to dislocations in the future. But if you eased yourself into this, building the muscle around your shoulder socket would actually help keep your shoulder in. I've got real weak shoulder muscles and my shoulders can bend painfully if I push them wrong, but building up muscle around them would stop that problem. [editline]17th November 2012[/editline] Condition your body to this slowly and carefully and you'd be able to do it no problem.
I have a feeling that with your strength, if you wanted to gain mass, you'd have extremely nice gains initially.

I'm immensely proud of myself that I take the bike to university instead of the bus, which is free as well for me. That's 13 kilometers twice every university day for me, but it doesn't train my shoulder tendons/muscles at all. To get back on topic, the worst dislocation I've ever had was actually on rings. I'm not sure what trick I was doing exactly. I wasn't bad at the rings, though, I quite liked it when we had to do exercises on them. However, I made a bad move. My shoulder dislocated, it hurt like a bitch, so I let go and fell on the mat on the floor. Luckily the should popped back immediately after I let go. My shoulder has always relocated itself. Shit hurt for a while, though, the teacher didn't know exactly what was going on, but I sat on the bench for a while and it got better.
[QUOTE=BurningPride;38489975]Are you good at tumbling? I'm a male cheerleader and I'm a decent tumbler. You should upload a video of that sometime![/QUOTE] Nice! To be honest, I'm really bad at all the other elements in gymnastics. I can only do a standing back-tuck and since a few days ago a round-off back-tuck. I'm doing gymnastics for a year now, it seems like I'm not making much progress in all the other elements but I am. My coach stresses out how important it is to have good form and of course pointing out toes. It's slowly branding into my system and hopefully after I got it I can move on to real moves. I can also almost do a standing arabian, but that's about the hardest thing I can do. Oh and I can do a standing back-pike with bad form.

[QUOTE=Drag0nSnak3;38491076]I have a feeling that with your strength, if you wanted to gain mass, you'd have extremely nice gains initially.[/QUOTE] Maybe so, but my intention is not to gain mass, but to gain strength. Mass will come along strength.

[/QUOTE] Oh wow that's awesome, I wasn't expecting that since you said you were more ring based. But its really cool to see someone else on facepunch who can tumble

[QUOTE=Rago;38492308] Never knew you did rings FPtje! [/QUOTE] Oh well, you know secondary schools, everything's done there. From bench-football to rings and ropes.
Yeah! Got another video of me and my friend doing gymnastics! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jySJQcsGGh0[/media]
Are you a stud? With the ladies/men etc. Are you gay? Not to be disrespectful as I know only a minute amount of Gymnasts are, just the thread was gaybow'd a lot so I guess FP wants to know
Who's the guy hiding on your bed?

I got only a lot of stalkers that are 2-3 years younger, so nothing interesting there. Oh and I always tend to fuck up relationships hahah
Oil yourself in and make another video.
[QUOTE=Jawyen;38511953]Oil yourself in and make another video.[/QUOTE] Naw, I'm okay. Don't really feel like oiling myself up.
Looking good man! Strong-ass motherfucker!
[QUOTE=A3DS97;38527560]Looking good man! Strong-ass motherfucker![/QUOTE] Thanks!
[QUOTE=Rago;38492308]Mass will come along strength.[/QUOTE] That's a common misconception. Yes, you might get a slight mass increase every year by training. If you train yourself to failure, then maybe a bit more. But the problem is that the weights do not increase, thus the intensity over a 10 rep set goes down. Intensity is what gives you muscle mass, not the weight and not if you do extremes such as 3 reps, or 20 reps. I've gained 2,1 kgs in 3 months and a half. I've increased my push ups range (correct form) from 10 to about 50. And my abs stuff from 15-20 to about 60. [B]Edit:[/B] I know it doesn't seem much, and I know the OP has probably a ton more endurance than me.
Wow thats really wicked. I wanna try this too xD

You're saying that I'm working with the same weight all the time, true, but you do realise that I work differently witht the weight. For example, a full planche puts all the weight into the shoulders and some in other parts, meaning I'm increasing intensity to the group muscle thus adding weight.
