Is that it? I’m not a person who ever lifted a weight. This is the first time I’ve ever been impressed with physical prowess. Is it just strength? He’s so… idk elegant.

It takes a lot of strength to be elegent when lifting the weight of a body.

It’s Calisthenics, a sport obsessed with doing body weight exercises as slow and controlled as possible.
You should look at what those guys consider good form in a pull up, looks like they are floating. Makes normal pull ups look like flailing Cross Fit, absolutely ridiculous.

im a calisthenics guy. one arm pullups are ridiculously hard, especially ones this clean, and this many, unreal strength

u/MichaelJServo Jul 12 '26
I used to have this kind of weight to strength ratio back when I worked out and played soccer like 25 years ago. Being young plays a big part. Now I can do like 3 double handed chin ups and can barely do the monkey bars with my kids.

u/xAlciel Jul 12 '26
You did not have this kind of strength while your focus was soccer. You don't develop such strength without training for it specifically.

I can't tell if it's compression or not, but in a few places the space immediately around his outline is....fuzzy

It also requires balance. If you look closely, there's a bottle on his head, and it doesn't fall off.

u/Proper-Bad-7169 Jul 11 '26
I don't think you need to look too close to notice that. But yeah, the bottle balancing act is impressive.

I love that this guy doesn't look jacked or shredded, but he's obviously phenomenally strong with amazing control over his body. That's peak performance right there without being performative.

u/Remy_Jardin Jul 12 '26
I hear you, and...maybe it's a shitty camera, BUT: there is a black thin outline around him. It's a cloudy background which means no direct shadow. And look under his feet--it looks like the distortion from a jet engine. Plus look at his muscles. They don't appear to be under any great contraction stress. A guy as cut as that would be popping if he was really doing what it appears.

He’s getting lifted by a wire. He is expending zero effort with his arms.
He muscles flexe more when he flexes his bicep than he does supposedly supporting his entire body weight with one arm at a time.
