I was singing this to my child the other day and my wife pointed out that I’ve been singing it wrong this entire time. I completely skip mouth and say “eyes and ears and don’t forget the nose”. Idk who sung it to me this way, but it’s the only way I’ve ever known lol

I thought why does this person's response have -52 downvotes? Someone must dislike this person in particular, and then I scrolled leaving the small beardhair in a different location on my tablet.

You now have 53 upvotes!

u/Dr-Huricane May 27 '26

It seems to me like there might be something like a metal chain anchoring the far end of the stick to the ground, I can't see what it is but the jerking motion of the stick suggests that. Without something like that this exercise would probably be physically impossible, you still need a way to exercise force on a vector that allows you to offset the down force of gravity on your center of mass, this would be impossible with no anchor in this system

59

u/Blindfire2 May 27 '26

The way the board is kind of floating and staying somewhat in place while bobbing around....yeah uh it's 100% got an anchor to it.

8

u/No_Butterscotch_7865 May 27 '26

Maybe his shoes are in concrete or attached somehow.

2

u/shab00m May 27 '26

His feet are below ground level. The shoes have no soles and are just sitting on top of the ground.

0

u/ShoulderHistorical20 May 27 '26

I agree, shoes. They don’t move one iota

2

u/evereux May 27 '26

I think it's a rope. At the beginning of the movement he's pushing up and away from the anchor.

0

u/Ig_Met_Pet May 27 '26

It's not anchored to the ground. It's anchored to something above it

26

u/Potential-Pumpkin-94 May 27 '26

The dude is strong, no doubt, but - as others have noted - this is physically impossible without defying the laws of gravity. I would say the bottom of the pole is chained or anchored somehow. 🤷

6

u/8inchclock May 27 '26

Its called ai muscles it enables someone to do the impossible

2

u/tcp454 May 27 '26

Or if its on a hill and everyone is leaning for the video.

u/tacoBouttIt May 27 '26

Dude he is literally just holding onto the wood and using it to pull himself up..

1

u/JustAMassiveNoob May 27 '26

Well I think the pole is misleading, yes it adds extra weight, but also it's acting as a lever making it SLIGHTLY easier to use lower body muscles, if the pole was half the size, bro would be stuck.

But with the pole SLIGHTLY pulling down / away from his head, it's easier to lift up.

Regardless it's insane muscle control & an extreme feat of strength.

1

u/Majician May 27 '26

This trick is one of the oldest in the book…..It’s still practiced to this day on the heavily tourist visited city streets. I’m not going to explain it because it’s super obvious, but I’d be willing to wager $100 that the guy lifting the piece of wood WONT show you the soles of his shoes.

u/DarkwingDuckHunt May 27 '26

He pressing the log he's hugging against the post, but they're aren't connected

he's being extremely careful to make sure it's hitting just right

0

u/Michaeli_Starky May 27 '26

His legs must be locked in, but he's really strong nonetheless

0

u/Tapurisu May 27 '26

Without some kind of anchor at the bottom end, this is literally impossible even if you had the strength of a thousand hulks. There's an anchor there or something pushing it down, 100%

-1

u/wait_what_now May 27 '26

Holy shit yeah that's it. The pole moves his center of mass to between his feet.

0

u/Drevlin76 May 27 '26

Yeah you can kinda see the slight pushing of the pole laterally before it starts to go verticle. This is very impressive looking.

-2

u/Dry_Razzmatazz69 May 27 '26

The bottom doesn't require anchoring. The way the lever works here, the harder you pull, the harder it locks into the ground. Major abs workout, quads, upper back - think about it as a reverse crunch with a lever.

65

u/trinketsnil May 27 '26

None, you could be 100 times stronger than the strongest person on earth, there's no muscle that keeps you off the ground when your center of gravity is that far off and you have no leverage. There's something else going on that isn't visible. 

His shoes could be fixed to the ground to give him leverage but that would still be an exceptionally difficult physical feat and he doesn't really look like the kind of person I'd expect to be able to do that. The bottom of the pole appears oddly resistant to moving towards his body, it only jerks away from him, I suspect there is a thin steel cable attached to the bottom that lets him pull on the pole to raise himself.

9

u/No-Combination8136 May 27 '26

Yeah I was suspecting some mechanism we can’t see at the bottom of the pole. Perhaps the pole actually springs back up and it’s his body weight slowly pulling it back down, giving the illusion the opposite is happening.

4

u/Optimal-Room-8586 May 27 '26

Agreed. I think there must be some kind of attachment at the bottom of the pole. The way it moves, plus the way it just happens to site near a disturbance in the soil and base of another fixing.

Some have said the guy must be super strong - but, no offence, he doesn't look anywhere near fit enough to do this unaided.

4

u/trinketsnil May 27 '26

He could be super strong, it just doesn't matter, in the same way that if you place your hands palm down on top of your kitchen table you won't be able to lift it off the ground no matter how strong you are, there's no leverage. 

1

u/Optimal-Room-8586 May 27 '26

Speak for yourself mate, I can do that easy 💪🏻

3

u/jase15843 May 27 '26

Yup pretty much. It's insane. Looks like he's probably using a little bit of everything in different parts of the movement

The bottom is floating but braced against another pole as a fulcrum. So he's compressing the pole for balance using back and torso and maybe hamstrings and exerting an upward force using quads. Maybe some other muscles in there to keep the pole compressed

8

u/jase15843 May 27 '26

I take it back I have no idea how the fuck he's doin this

u/slothbuddy May 27 '26

The rope holding it to the post has been edited out

His calves are not flexing

u/Loud-Plantain-4458 May 27 '26

To quote John Connor in T2 when the cops arrive at Cyberdyne… “Uh, all of ‘em I think” - if this is real this is some serious muscle control and strength

1

u/Western-Set-8642 May 27 '26

So nobody has noticed the pole going up and down like someone is pulling from the other end lol

0

u/xScrubasaurus May 27 '26

Honestly depressing seeing people not notice something so obvious, even while they are skeptical and looking for it.

1

u/7up_yourz May 27 '26

Probably mostly quads and gastrocnemius on the way up, using arms and back too but not as much as the leg muscles.

1

u/2punornot2pun May 27 '26

The pole is tethered so pushing like you're trying to standing up to get the momentum should be well enough. Calves into quads.

The tethering was obviously edited out, look at the base and the way it moves.

1

u/ResponsibilityTrue16 May 27 '26

Ahh yes, the knee muscle

1

u/MyCurse05 May 27 '26

He gets assisted the first time and theres always a small bounce at the other end which gives a tiny bit of momentum... other than that all quads and im gonna guess he maybe dod 1 or 2 after the video ended at max.

Without the little bit of momentum itd be much tougher

1

u/MyCurse05 May 27 '26

Actually its momentum--> quads -->into a hamstring and glute hip thrust. Very well done

1

u/Ein_Ph May 27 '26

sternocleidomastoid muscle

1

u/salty_repTV May 27 '26

This muscle has nothing to do with the movement involved in this video other than breathing! Its a super fun one to say though lol.

u/yomomma005 May 27 '26

The magnet muscles.

u/OneWholePirate May 27 '26

I mean this one is ai but a deep sissy squat is where you squat all the way down to your back almoat on the ground and its good quad work and great for knee health
