Manuel Caruso vs Michał Urbanik | Front Lever Battle

Who is better?
In my opinion Manuel Caruso is better in one arm front lever, one arm front lever pull-ups, front lever touch, Victorians, and planches.
And I think that Michał Urbanik is better at one arm pull-ups, front lever pull-ups, entrada, impossible dips, and hefesto’s.
But who is better overall is impossible to decide.

Michal is much more complete than Manuel. He wins in FL hold, P-bar victorian hold, OAP, hefesto, entrada, and all forms of street lifting. Manuel beats him in all FL pull-ups, cleanliness of OAFL, planche, and victorian on rings. A lot of elements are undecidable. Impossible dip is about equal although Manuel does have cleaner form.
Overall I think Manuel has better relative pulling strength for his height and weight as well as cleaner form. So if we are strictly talking about front lever elements, manual wins. But if we are talking about calisthenics in general, Michal wins because of his all-around mastery of many different forms of calisthenics both push and pull elements as well as street lifting. Michal is also considerably taller and heavier than Manuel which gives him a severe disadvantage when it comes to statics. His wider back also makes it much more awkward for him to hold a clean OAFL as you can see the shoulder leaning despite having tall hips in the movement. When it comes to pure power, Michal wins because of his height and weight disadvantage.

Perfect analysis, just as I was thinking

Who do you think is better?

Сaruso in the best in front lever. As good, as Lugones in planche push ups.

@@ltroy_sw Osvoldo isn’t the bet in planche pushups it’s eryc ortiz or ziolus

[@ltroy_sw]

@@street-workoutnation2964 i can't agree with that. Maybe they have more strengh, then Osvaldo. But Lugones has the cleanest form of planche and planche push ups. I hate it when people Have enough strengh for clean form and still dont do it clean. And Osvaldo is the best for me. Cuz he is the cleanist. Best srengh and form.

@@ltroy_sw Osvoldo isn’t to be compared to beasts like Larosa, ziolus, Caruso, Majeli etc he’s lost his power show me a clip of him doing more than 20 planche pushups like ziolus or eryc does from recent time not a clip of 2 years ago

[@ltroy_sw]

@@street-workoutnation2964 same. Show me a clip, showing Eric or anyone else doing as clean PPU as Osvaldo does.
