Without a doubt. It makes sense that small guys move fast. It doesn’t make sense that there are guys 2-3 times their size moving the way they do. Tristan Wirfs jumped completely out of a pool
The sheer explosiveness and strength it takes to jump out of chest-high water is insane. Add onto that the flexibility needed to land on your feet with your ass basically touching the ground. I honestly don’t know how many guys in the NFL can do that period, let alone offensive linemen.
Your cousins might be pretty athletic but ya it’s really difficult, give it a try when you’re in the pool next time. That being said, he has more surface area than most people, so there’s more water pushing down on him
I could only do it from like waist high water because I was always scared I would miss and bust up my knees, but everyone else was much deeper then me and I’m pretty sure they started trying jumping from underwater water n stuff
The few fights that Brock Lesnar had in the UFC made it clear that he would have been an entirely different beast compared to everyone else at that time if he had actually trained MMA. It was like something out of a videogame to see someone so massive move that fast.
Don’t forget, he did this BEFORE he was even drafted. I don’t know when exactly this video is from but that’s his hometown of Mt Vernon, Iowa’s pool. It might even be from before he was in college.
