Gymnasticbodies community youtube compilation

I vote music that's not classic rock/alt. rock/pop metal - to set the video apart from videos made by teenage Youtube warrior punks busting out bad-form bicep curls and bench presses.

Maybe something with some mystique and intrigue... maybe along the lines of Gotye - Heart's a Mess.

I agree. Any mainstream music will devalue the community's uniqueness.

Hmm the suggestion was Gotye... His popular song actually has 417,000,000 hits on youtube. Hard to do more mainstream

When I said "I agree" I didn't mean with wheezer's song choice.    

Being a musician, I generally only listen to older music (classical, baroque and romantic) but I think I would be out of place on a video like this.

What about something completely different?

How about the crazy frog

Lol jokes... 

I agree with the others, please, please, PLEASE, don't put any sort of rock as the music for this video. I usually just mute videos of exercises with rock music in them. It makes the video seem too try-hard to seem "hardcore". We don't need music to show we're hardcore, we just are .

My suggestion is maybe something like this:

It's got a lot of variety in tempo, so you could edit some easier moves and mobility stuff for the slower tempos, and keep the more impressive or explosive stuff for when the tempo goes up. Plus, it's long as hell, so more space for a lot of people to chime in on this.

I really like that suggestion.

Second that

Okay no rock, but how about some metal (not heavy metal)? I think the best music choice for a video like this will probably be lyric-less theatrical, techno, electronic, or modern orchestral music.

Welcome to the Jungle was pretty cool, anything similar like that would be good too

If you want to appeal to a wide audience, your best bet is going to be to use music that is very popular in the populations you want to penetrate.

I can get a v-sit video if that would be useful, or just some general v- and l-sit work. 

Also, I think we should have some awesome leg work in this! Getting some serious body weight leg work in there would be very different from many YouTube videos on body weight strength.

If anyone is strong enough they could hang from the rings by their feet and do an upside-down squat 

How about somebody hanging by their feet from a bar (ankles wrapped over the top of the bar) while reading a book nonchalantly?

The more clips the better. Someone should do a single leg GHR or NLC.

Would also like to see maltese, flairs, circles, Russian circles, flips, and tumbling as well. Also, some wall PPPs and wall PMPs will be nice as I don't think there are any good form ones on youtube. Legs together one arm push-up will also appeal to the general audience.

Sorry guys, just been out at jazz festival last day or so. Just wanted to reassure you all Im working hard and keeping up with my own training too, and taking this very seriously

Man, there's so much fun stuff to do.

Musical tastes have been naturally very diverse

So to let the music of our video be a community decision, please nominate your top three songs in a simple post. I will aggregate your nominations in about a week to find out the top 3 nominations and create a poll at the top of this thread to decide the winning song.

My nominations:

John Butler - Ocean

Solkyri - This can't wait

Tommy Emmanuel - Classical gas (by Mason williams)

Depending on how long it is, you can splice songs(i.e. slow to fast, etc.). I'm for something more upbeat.

This won't happen unless there are more clips....

1, 2, & 3. 'Lifted' by Lighthouse Family... seeing as most of it IS lifting! 

Also had some trouble with the dropbox, but signed up for one.

Does this work:
