Brother Damien teaches us a supremely awesome calisthenics staple - the Human Flag.
Get a good grip and hold tight with the top arm, and lock the bottom one in while still keeping the elbow slightly unlocked (we wouldn't want to arm-bar ourselves in front of everyone). This was my first time giving it a go and mine definitely needs work. You can that i started sticking my legs straight up in the air in an attempt to reduce the amount of weight (in my flag?). The hope from there would be to slowly and gradually bring the legs down until they are in a completely horizontal position.. Thats the hope..
Damo can be seen hanging off both parallel and vertical bars around Bondi Beach. Its rare to see him break a sweat or show signs of exertion. He is a good man.
Enjoy!
