After three weeks of not being able to train, I know leg day is going to be a day that I will soon regret. So, to spice things up I decided to take it easy, lighten the load, focus on controlled reps and work on some advanced calisthenics movements between my leg exercises.

At this point in my life I am starting to wonder what is the point of building all this muscle and strength if I can’t even properly control my own bodyweight? Goku would not be pleased…

Anyone else experimenting with some of the movements I am doing in this video? I want that front lever on the rings so bad! Then, I want to accomplish the ring planche! That would be KILLER! #HTH #SHFAthlete

(2:05)- Barbell Squat
(6:05)- Handstand On Parallel Bars

(8:51)- Front Lever On Rings

(10:58)- Stiff-Leg Deadlift
(11:50)- Human Flag
(12:57)- Alternating Stepping Lunge

generally its hard to walk the next day. i did a scary leg day, well it wasn't really scary but you get the idea, and man the next day was a little iffy doing anything.

i found this cover model work out and was giving it a try… it be nasty.
just the start was killer. warm up with 10 mins on rower. 10-15 single arm dumbbell press-no rest-  10-15 bar bell upright row rest 1 min repeat a total of 5 times.
this was just part of the routine i did cuz i couldn't finish it from the previous day. 
the leg day thing was 10-15 squats /no rest/ 10-15 weighted step ups (i used a 1.5 foot box) 30 sec rest  repeat 5 times – next- 10-15 leg press/ no rest/ 10 air squats repeat 5 sets next exercise 10-15 leg extensions/ no rest /hanging leg raises repeat 5 sets. theres more but i couldn't complete the last part

hey scott killer workout! just a little input from something that helped me a lot when doing the flag poles. I put my bottom hand a little closer to the ground so my torso isn't as far off the ground if I want to be parallel with the floor. then I would, in a way, jump off the ground to be able to get myself past parallel so my feet were higher than my shoulders. then as gravity pulls you down, flex your core and really focus to control the eccentric movement to gain strength on the exercise! After all the work you've done in this vid I'm sure you were smoked when you did the flagpoles! Maybe you have already done this, I've just found it helped me gain the strength to do flag poles. there's a picture of me doing his on my Instagram! btw this is the kid from the desk at best fitness who helped you guys load the elliptical lol

Great video man! Nice to see you're going for calisthenics. Can't wait for the next one and your progress. Your workout videos were allways perfect and it's nice to see how far you got. Good luck.

Is that a row rig? What kind is it? That is a kids pull up bar right? Can you use that?

Is the intro music (when the monkey jumps down to lift the bar) a song or is it just a short sequence that was specifically composed for the intro?

If it's a song, what is its name? It's pretty badass 🙂

Really excited that you're getting into calisthenics! I couldnt agree more "at the end of the day if you can't even control your body weight what use is that to you" Keep up the great videos

Enjoying the 90s rock….great throw backs in there. Love the videos man. I play a lot of sports so it's important for me to maintain my agility while also adding and mass. Like you said what use is out if you can't control it. Your work outs are perfect for this.

Hanstand is too arched, that leads nowhere but back pain. Belly to wall handstand holds would help.

Hey Scott! Very nice Video! 🙂 Thanks for this! One question…where did you buy this "handstand device" or what's the name of it? 🙂

Matthias De Saedeleer June 16, 2014 - 11:39 am

The white handles you use? Those are own made aren't they? Did you use PVC pipe or some other pipes to make it?

Can I ask why are your knees going beyond your foot? I thought we are supposed to keep them behind our toes to prevent any injury? Anyone can enlighten me? 😀

Hi Scott, thanks a lot for your awesome work! 
I couldn't help noticing how DEEP your squats are, which is incredibly impressive. Do you have any tips for someone, like myself, who has horrible ankle dorsiflexion & hip mobility. I can barely get parallel without technique deteriorating and back pain. My flexibility is major limitation to my strength progress.

Thanks heaps Scott, and keep up the fantastic videos – you're an inspiration dude!
Jonny.
