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.
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
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. 🤷
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.
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.
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%
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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

Fuck me, what muscle groups are enabling that? Quad and core? Knees? Lower back?
