Mr E Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Just stumbled across this on youtube for those that haven't seen it: I was actually thinking of asking if those pull ups were possible, but now I don't have to. This guy must have really strong grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenL Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 They aren't really back lever pullups, and they don't take a lot of grip strength. I feel them mostly in my forearms and shoulders. The forearms is a good, burning, lactic acid feeling, but it feels as though it hurts my shoulders, so I don't do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 They look like they would need good grip to do.Edit. Oh wait I was talking about the thing he was doing on the vertical part of the P-bars.Notice how whenever he does something like a L-sit or front lever he swings his legs?I wonder if he's trying make it look like it's not a gymnastics move? He's very strong, need to get him into gymnastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 He is not "swinging" his legs per se, but is scissoring during the front lever to make it more demanding ab-wise.Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftedShapes Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 This is Hannibal of the Barmasters Xtreme crew. Search for him by name on youtube to see more of his strength. Has some very good slow wide muscle-ups in other videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
