alright guys welcome to the voiceover
the first step to learn the human flag
is the vertical flag down hold and with
this exercise you will specifically
focus on your arms and how you will
place your arms on the bars in a human
flag position you can first start where
they talked vertical hold which I just
showed and once you get comfortable with
that you can straighten your legs to get
it a little bit harder try to reach for
5 to 10 seconds in this hold and then
move on to the next step which are
vertical flag kick ups so grab the bar
and jump and pull yourself up until you
reach the bar the highest bar with your
feet try to hold that for maybe a second
then go back down and then go back up
again and just repeat this for a couple
times and the reason why you want to
practice this exercise is because you
want to start training your human flag
from the top because it's way easier to
train the human flag eccentric so from
negative holds then when you start from
the ground so with that said the next
step is the vertical flag hopes and here
you just start releasing one foot at a
time and try to hold that for like 5
seconds and then you can alternate
between legs and once you get more
comfortable in this position you can
also try to release both feet together
and watch your form here try to
straighten your arms completely and also
straighten your legs completely exactly
above your hips try to hold this for a
minimum of 10 seconds before moving on
to the next step which are tucked human
flag holds and this is actually the
first step when you're going to try and
train eccentric so you make a negative
movement when you try to lower your feet
into a tug version so try to bend your
knees and try to keep it as close as
possible to your chest and try to hold
that for again for a minimum of 10
seconds before you're gonna bring your
knees away from your chest to get
stronger and you talked hope you
also trained dynamically as you can see
Yannick is doing here
try to implement this exercise to get
more variation in your workouts as well
once you get stronger in your talk note
you can move on to a advanced tech hold
in which you're gonna bring your knees
to your waistline and try to hold that
for a minimum of 10 seconds before
moving on to the next step which is the
one-leg human flag hold
so here again you're gonna start in a
vertical flag position and from there
you're gonna lower down it with one leg
and one ticked leg into a horizontal
position so to make it easier for you
you can just put your shoes off but it
won't really help but just mentally it
will help and from there you're gonna
start and training for the straddle
human flag and here it's gonna be really
tough really hard and for those that are
new here or don't know what a straddle
position is it's just a position with
your legs spread so here you're gonna
start and try to go from a vertical flag
into a straddle human flag and try to
hold this for another five seconds
before you're gonna move on to the last
step which is of course the full human
flag I have found it most easy to go
from a straddle a human flag into a full
human flag because it's just too hard to
get in a full flag position at once when
you're not comfortable enough in a
straddle flag position so I would
recommend you to do the same okay guys
so these were all the steps that I
personally took to get my human flag I
hope that you enjoyed this video and it
was informational to you so you can
apply this approach for your own
training methods as well but if this
