Math Guy Learns the Weighted Straddle Front Lever in 1 Day

As a guy who basically only pays attention in math and gym classes I love this

You have good enough lat strength which is obvious from the one arm pull ups and muscle ups but the front lever even though it uses lats it uses alot more abs so you need to do more shit like leg raises sit ups siccisr kicks etc

I’m sorry you’re suffering internet abuse. I’m building up my Twitter presence and although I’m happy I’m making progress on followers, I’m also starting to experience abuse. I think it’s just something I need to learn to deal with if I’m going to be on social media but frankly it’s terrifying. Best of luck to all your endeavors though!

May be you can place your hands on both edge of the pullup bar to simulate a smaller angle and move your center balance?

What if you grow out your upper muscles while kind of ignoring your legs to rebalance your body?

Math always wins

Simple physics always #1 and then adjust based on newly gained knowledge. Don't be ignorant, be smart.

Have you ever tried to do a back lever?

Great vid, did not expect a East meets West philosophical discussion, totally agree with you

Try doing with weights on your feet it will be a lot harder.

The maths and structural mass distribution concept is pretty cool. Almost same as structural engineering for a bridge 😅
Maths/science is cool and all, but human body is very complex and I think technology is not high enough to fully understand it yet, not until 200-500 yrs later I reckon.
I like to train by listening to my body and feelings. I'm in process trying to achieve front lever. I understand it's extremely difficult and struggle lots myself. I feel I get sore back every day 😅 but I'm enjoying the ups and down during this journey. I believe the human body will eventually adapt to this movement. My back will probably look lumpy after achieving the front lever 🤣

honestly this guys humor is great, what a legend

freaking theory always ;)

Great video!

I always hypothesised that for some people added weight would make it very slightly easier. Great to see my vague and unsure hypothesis made visible here, and proven

one guy can say : thank you bro , you covered the theme , i could not understand in my calculus class , i now understand , it has been very helpful for my mid exam

Love your videos. Your English is very understandable, and I like your sense of humor. Keep up the great work.

Very well said!

Do the elbow lever pls pls plss

Your center of mass would also be your balance point. Plank on a bar and figure out roughly where you balance. Simple, but not easy.

I want to see your analysis of the pistol squat. I feel like it's easier loaded (arms extended). I suspect it's similar situation.

Love your take on this! Using actual factual science instead of arguing against people who simply don't like what you say - it's the best way. Some people will always ingnore science and use their own 1 = n experience and feelings.

Keep doing what you do, you're awesome!

Youre the man. Such a beast.

Screw that unibrow freak

manz gna be a straight forward father

i agree with you. the sport chooses the athlete, not the other way around. pro crossfitters look all the same because everybody else got sieved out before and started another sport. someone who will gain muscle very easily will never be a top climber, their body is just made for something different.

by the way. you can also stretch so that your straddle is wider and your centre of mass is closer to your head

With this video you sold me - I’m bought into the geek climbers creed 😁

This all has to do with calculation of moment. M=r*F. Where F is the the force applied at the center of gravity and r is the distance from the fulcrum. If a system is supposed to be immobile the sum of the forces equals 0 and the sum of the moments equals 0. That is why center of mass has to be directly under the hand or you will keep spinning. Therefore if you have heavy legs or short arms there will be more of a bend at the arms causing you to have to exert more muscular force. That is basic physics. That being said, the body is quite complicated, so maybe there are adaptations at play in performing any tasks. In addition, I am not sure if his measurements about weight distribution is correct

Science deniers are usually antivax and are lame as fuck cause they use whatever excuses they come up with to not commit to hardwork

Love this guy!

It is nice to hear the since behind from you ,
you are right it is mush easier if you have a longer arms your body type is number matter a lot to do a front lever

Go be Honert, your work is so cool! I’m interested in calisthenics and I’m a physicist, and I never even thought about describing calisthenics with physics! Very good work!!!

totally logical.. brilliant stuff

Chris hera could do it though......

Hi! Is the angle for back lever comparable to the front lever one, at least as an approximation? If I got full back lever can I measure that angle and use it as a reference for full front lever training, e.g. by training that angle with properly positioned resistance bands?

I don’t think that being non muscly is beneficial for his rock climbing.
Since most pro rock climbers have more muscle than him

As a chemist I may say that besides leting you down science can also help you a little bit with growing your upper back muscles 😉. I'd have loved more depth on the maths because when It comes to biomechanics there's always a lote of nuance involved.

“Average guy blames math and lack of discipline to unlock the front lever”

everyone can do front lever.

Wouldn't it have been a bit more accurate to measure your current straight arm pulling strength with a crane scale such that there is no angle in the pulley system? As one can see in your video of you pulling on the lat pulldown the cable comes in at a slight angle instead of perpendicular to the ground, affecting what will actually be happening if you are pulling on the rigid bar during a front lever.

Your basketball analogy sums this up perfectly, Allen iverson. Yes upper body mass would help but you dont have to put on huge amounts of mass to get alot stronger, UFpwrLifter. Youve let being smart get in the way of your ambition.

This guy is faking . There are people who can do fl who have short arms . The only difference is that you have train even harder.If you are motivated you can do it.lets take an example a barbel can be lifted easily if it is lifted from the center but you cannot lift it if you are lifting it fron the edge it is correct but if you enough strength you can lift it from the edge. This guy is not giving his all and is making excuses to demotivate others

You did so great until you said basic science is Eastern philosophy 🤣
