‘DESIRE’ - All Time Best Skills Compilation – Nathan Comber
Here it is: my final upload of a busy week of uploads, and probably my last ever sampler style video - a compilation of all of my best clips from training and competition over the past decade or so.
I started compiling this video back in 2019 - I have spent hours upon hours sifting through old videos, finding my favourite clips and editing it all together in the best way possible to create the final project. This has been a massive project and a huge labour of love for me - and I have put more time and effort into this video than any other video I have ever made before; I hope that it can be appreciated for that.
The theme of the video is very much the idea of doing something because you LOVE it and because you have a deep, internal DESIRE to do it, rather than for any external gain. Doing gymnastics has not put a single penny in my pocket, and in many ways it has probably held my life back because I have been so tunnel vision focused on it that I haven't given other aspects of my life the time and attention that they probably needed. And yet, I have still spent at least 12 hours a week for the past 10 years choosing to do it.
More so than anything else, gymnastics has given me a sense of purpose. The journey has been long, frustrating, and lonely at times, and although I may not have enjoyed every second of every training session, I have always had an underlying feeling of satisfaction that I was pushing myself towards a worthwhile end goal. Even now as I type this, knowing that this chapter is over, I am still filled with satisfaction, knowing that I did it, and I have no regrets in making the choice to pursue my passion to the fullest. I am exicted to pursue all the other things which I have neglected for the past few years moving forward into the future, whilst always carrying the satisfaction that this mission has gifted to me, close to my heart.
I think that deep down, this video is my attempt to capture a moment in time, and turn it into something which I, and others, will be able to look back on for many years to come. Who knows how long the internet and youtube will exist for, but at the very least, this video will stand as a semi-permanent reminder of my gymnastics acheivements, which will no doubt become more and more special to me as I grow further and further from my active training days.
As cheesy as it sounds, I want to dedicate this video to everybody who has had any involvment in my training at all, no matter how big or small. Whether we met at Worcestershire Gymnastics Academy, Redditch Trampoline Club, University, Woodward, Huntingdon, met at a competition, or a course, or whether you are a friend or acquaintance from another walk of life who has followed my progress anyway, or whether we have never actually met and you have just followed me online - I thank you. I hope that you enjoy the video, and that you take some inspiration away from it.
All audio for the video is taken from 'The Incredible True Story' album by Logic, an album who's words and sounds have been a big source of motivation for me over the past few years. The intro monologue is an excerpt from the title track, and the following tracks are 'Lord Willin'; Run It' and 'Never Been' - 3 of my favourite songs from the project.
I strongly recommend watching the video with sound on, full screen, on a desktop or laptop if possible; this kind of video will never hit the same on a small phone screen.
Please feel free to share the video or send to anybody else who you think might appreciate it - my videos don't get nearly as many views as they used to, so every view is massively appreciated.
Finally, I invite you to let me know your thoughts, or share a happy memory or moment of us to do with gymnastics; I would love to read your comments and relive some happy feelings and reminisce on good times over the next few days.
Much love, until next time...

Ever since retiring from high level competition back in March 2019, I have had the Adult British in the back of my mind as a great 'swan song' competition to go out on. After the event was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid, I finally got to compete at the event on Sunday 28th August 2022; almost 3 and a half years after my previous competition. This was also my first time competing on Rin...

Men's Artistic Gymnastics Demoreel 2021 - Nathan Comber

This is my final upload of the year - My Artistic Gymnastics Demoreel. In October 2019, I set myself the challenge to learn, and film, as many skills as I possibly could from the current mens’ gymnastics code of points. As 2021, and indeed, this first ever 5 year Olympic cycle draws to a close, I upload this video to summarise every recognised gymnastics skill which I can do, or have ever done,...
Gymnast Maxes Out Deadlift - How Much Can A Gymnast Lift?
zhlédnutí 842Před 2 lety
After my last gymnastics training session of the year, I had an epic lifting session with a view to test my deadlift 1 rep max. I have literally never deadlifted in my life, but was curious to see how much weight I could get off the floor, with no previous specific training. My upper body and core strength are pretty good from my training background but my leg strength is not that great, certai...

Gymnastics Strength Training Part 1 - 'The Process' - Motivational Training Montage
zhlédnutí 909Před 3 lety
I have been obsessed with the strength side of gymnastics since I was probably about 12 years old. I love tumbling so much, but rings and strength always seemed to be the most impossible looking aspect of the sport, which is what really drew me to it. I started taking strength training really seriously when I was about 21, and at the start of lockdown last year, I stepped it up even further, as...
My Strength Maxes - TRAINING TO FAILURE! May 2021
zhlédnutí 968Před 3 lety
Since the Covid pandemic began, I have spent more time than ever training strength, and in recent weeks I have managed to finally get my bodyweight back down to below 78kg, which is where I was at before Christmas. My strength to weight ratio was feeling really good, so this seemed a sensible time to test my maxes to see where I am currently at. A lot of these exercises I have never tried to fa...

During my first couple of weeks back in the gym after lockdown, I have spent lots of time on the trampoline, trying to re-build my air awareness and confidence. For the first few sessions I felt very uncoordinated and nervous having had such a long break but by working through these basics every session, I am starting to feel a little more aware and in control of my movements again!
