This is the first time I hear this exercise called candlestick. The hardest variation is called dragon flag. One of my favorite. Bruce Lee was big fan of it if I remember well. Awesome video! Awesome progression!

Best fitness channel on YouTube. Period.

Dude thank you so much for doing this video. I was having such a hard time getting sore from crunches and couldnāt really do hanging leg raises that well, but as soon as I tried these I felt it after the first set.

I do the expert version just fine, but I think that's because I have 5lbs chicken legs that I neglected for years. Now I'm working on a leg-focused program and I think the candlestick will get harder in time with added mass!

This channel has really increased my enjoyment of exercise. I finally am starting to understand some of the science of muscle growth and am starting to see some interesting results.

I check youtube in the middle of dragonfly sets and this is what I get

Awesome video Mike! Loved the dumbbell leg video as well, waiting for the rest of the DB only series!

I actually saw the "abs are made in the kitchen" statement make people in the gym completely disregard ab exercises altogether.
Now I'm the only person in our gym with actual thick abs cause I was doing these last couple of years.
Going slow is the key! I also like - and would recommend trying out - doing loaded half-bosu ball crunches.

Thanks Dr Mike!
Back into fitness at ~30 after a long break. Summer 2024 prep started about a month ago. Squeezed most of the juice from crunches already, so I've been looking to add in something a bit more challenging.
This exercise is great. Felt a burn up and down the entire muscle, which crunches don't accomplish. Your point about the highest loading occurring at the point when the muscle is stretched the most is (obviously) spot on. Felt amazing. Thanks again Dr. Mike.

Thanks for just giving us the movement progressions and science behind this exercise! The videos you make where you raise your eyebrows and make fun of people have a place but I appreciate just raw info! Thanks!

Been doing the beginer version of this for years as my go to for abs. Cool to know it's the best. I'll be 60 November!

Dr. Mike, your channel is really coming through for me. Great format with demonstrating the exercise and getting expert explanations with it. Thanks!

I do the intermediate version on the concentric to full vertical like the pro version, and then I "try" to do a pro eccentric. It feels the natural progression for me, because the true candlestick (or dragonfly raises, as I've known them) are just too hard. But it is crazy how you can make progress with these. So rewarding.

This is exactly what I needed. I do leg raises on the gymnastic ladder and I canāt get in a fair amount of sets before I get tired, so thank you very much sir.

Did this once in the workout park just to see how it feels, never had more soreness on my abs. Amazing exercise!

I used to do the expert version all the time. Just got back into lifting after decades off, so it's been a minute. Right now, squats and deadlifts give me my core workout, but I will have to see if I can still do these next time I am at the gym.
So glad I found this channel!
