  1. Don't get me wrong, the press is a complex movement but strength makes everything simpler! Check the desciption for links to more useful resources to develop your press ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Been watching this man for a while now, first found him by looking up reviews on "body by rings". @Tom you've come a long way buddy! This was well shot and very informative – while I've progressed in strength over the years, you've moved far along with balance and hand work. That's my next goal ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ keep it up brotha.

  11. This is exactly the sort of clear and simple instructions I keep coming back to this channel for. The app has been an absolute gem too. Thanks mate ! Hot off the press….coming soon !

  12. I've seen super ini mini tiny little girls with no discernable muscle mass who could do a press to handstand, but they could not do a pull up. It's just hard to believe that they would have incredible pushing strength… But boy they were flexible!

  15. To understand the strength required to press to handstand or Planche.

    Could you perform a test.?

    Laying down on the floor in front of a cable machine with your feet facing the machine and a straight bar connected at or slightly above feet level.

    How much weight are you able to lift with straight arms to a 90 degree angle ๐Ÿ“

    Or doing the same with a barbell in each hand.

    Also what is your body weight and height for reference?

  18. Could you make video on the following topics?

    How long should one hold a stretch for flexibility? Like is there any benefit of going to 60 seconds. (Kinda like a parallel for effective rep ranges in lifting).

    How many times should you hold it? So if it's a total of 4 holds for 30 seconds, that's full 2 mins in the position. (Kinda like sets for lifting)

    How often should you practice a given stretch routine (frequency)? Like if I want to learn the split, do I have to split daily, or can I do it twice a week and have maintenance sessions between to maintain the adaptations.

    How many skill do you recommend someone learn concurrently? Specifically positions that may not necessarily help each other. Like I can imagine learning the pancake and middle split concurrently helping each other, but what about the pike and middle split?

    How intense should a split be? Should it be just uncomfortable or maybe a little painful? (I kinda see this as a parallel of intensity for weight training).

    How long to rest between splits?

    Lastly, exercise selection for stretching. How do you go about picking the right stretches for a certain position?

  19. Hi Tom, my name is Alex. I'm from Adelaide Australia. I'm 56 years old and I've been doing your cycling stretching workout the past year three times a week, cause I do weight training and cycling six, seven days a week, having issues with my whole body aching. And this has helped me 100%. And I want to say a big thank you. ๐Ÿ‘

  27. Hi Tom,
    been following your videos for quite a while and I have to say, once again, I love them! Your editing has been getting better and better and your content has always been very informative to me as opposed to some YT videos that just aim to gather views without actual content.

    I do have a question in regards to working towards HSPU/Press to HS: My freestanding HS is 20s at best, wall-assisted approximately 80s all-time best. Been practicing for about 1.5 years now while still focusing on mastering the basics (Push Ups, Dips, Rows, Pull/Chin Ups). If you had to choose, would you start to work towards HSPUs ( -> incorporating Pike PUs) or would you incorporate drills that work towards Press first? I aim to achieve both at some point, but I am struggling on deciding where to start first. Working on both at the same time will likely be too much for me to handle.
