[–]Cerpicio 69 points70 points ago

For the past half year its been my workout goal to get to a point to where I can do a pushup without using my feet. and I am really close

well...

now I feel kinda depressed.

[–]jonbones 11 points12 points ago

you mean like a handstand / push up combo? sounds impressive in it's own right

[–]Cerpicio 26 points27 points ago

what this guy does at 1:40

[–]Trip_McNeely 38 points39 points ago

I jubst tries rthat now myfingers, sare brokens.

[–]tits-mchenry 4 points5 points ago

...holy shit.

[–]FistyFistFist 2 points3 points ago

FROM HIS FINGERS! his hands aren't even on the ground. What a boss.

[–]street593 2 points3 points ago

What is with the music choice? Also thats BBoy junior. Here is a more recent video for those interested.

[–]Suddenly_Something 0 points1 point ago

It used to be a different song that actually fit with the video a couple years back, but copyrights.

[–]KevinFerguson 0 points1 point ago

Polio is his friend.

[–]FountainsOfMountains 9 points10 points ago

That's a planche pushup

[–]spliffandtea 2 points3 points ago

dude i got the same challenge going, although I tried to integrate a handstand, the handstand is probably the easier bit tbh

[–]DumplingSawce 15 points16 points ago

I remember seeing this video a couple months ago. May be helpful.

[–]someweirdguy 276 points277 points ago

He put all his points into agility and strength. This guy has no magic resistance at all.

[–]cbtbone 87 points88 points ago

He's probably not very charismatic

[–]_liminal 64 points65 points ago

also very low intellect

[–]s_mcc 28 points29 points ago

Always the dump stat.

[–]RyVal 18 points19 points ago

I heard a thousand tears hit the floor over here /r/swoleacceptance

[–]MrPeoples 6 points7 points ago

One of them was mine.

[–]Viend 5 points6 points ago

I contributed two.

[–]s_mcc 2 points3 points ago

I can't count higher than two, the number of fists I have.

[–]McG4rn4gle 2 points3 points ago

I totally just.

[–]namer98 8 points9 points ago

Never understood how a stat that gives you more skill points is the dump stat.

[–]CuriousAbra 3 points4 points ago

Usually one class's whole job is to have lots of skill points, so the party's fighter having them is useless.

[–]namer98 1 point2 points ago

Nothing wrong with putting points into intimidate and craft.

[–]Scarytownterminator 30 points31 points ago

He looks Russian, so I'm going to guess he has 50% resistance to cold and vodka.

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 10 points11 points ago

Attempting car insurance fraud on him would be very uneffective on him.

[–]Viend 3 points4 points ago

You mean he's 50% vodka.

[–]Disasstah 5 points6 points ago

Unless he's a high stat roller.

[–]Strong_Coffee 308 points309 points ago

No, thats strength, agility, speed, balance.

[–]whatwouldscoobydo 121 points122 points ago

and momentum!

[–]mybreathyourlung 73 points74 points ago

And the conservation thereof!

[–]aManCalledStig 10 points11 points ago

but the normal force is non conservative!

[–]DrDragun 35 points36 points ago

Nah he pushed Earth down slightly

[–]Sonicboom510 26 points27 points ago

And saiyan blood in his veins

[–]ZombieKingKong 5 points6 points ago

Slightly over 9000

[–]Reinmaker 7 points8 points ago

If you look closely you can see his tail.

[–]SprawlnBrawl 8 points9 points ago

And yet Mount Midoriyami still has yet to be conquered by an American Ninja Warrior

[–]Viend 7 points8 points ago

That's cause he's Russian.

[–]kapow_crash__bang -1 points0 points ago

More likely that the deformation due to the reaction force was dissipated as heat.

[–]steeephen 0 points1 point ago

angular!

[–]ironGoliad 30 points31 points ago

and balls

[–]Late2All 3 points4 points ago

I respect this comment and upboat. I don't get why it has negative karma. He nearly face plants in the ground, it's a ballsy move

[–]rogersmith25 1 point2 points ago

...and short legs. Short legs help a lot.

[–]Sengura 2 points3 points ago

Pffft, I can do that...

In that MMO I play.

[–]reddell 0 points1 point ago

But mostly form.

[–]Phoequinox 0 points1 point ago

And probably hypermobility to land on his wrists at that velocity and not break them.

[–]ShinigamiKai 30 points31 points ago

His name is Cato Aspmo and he is from Sweden

[–]SprawlnBrawl 2 points3 points ago

Tell him to tryout for american ninja warrior. All the guys on that show can do insane feats of core strength yet none of them have gotten all the way yet. And I'm being serious.

[–]SirHat 1 point2 points ago

Nagano just beat it recently.

[–]SprawlnBrawl -1 points0 points ago

So he's like the 2nd ever? And he's been trying it for 2+ years. Some random guy like shown in GIF would likely fail in early stages.

[–]SirHat 0 points1 point ago

Ok...you said none had gotten all the way, I said one has. I don't care about the guy in the gif.

[–]SprawlnBrawl 0 points1 point ago

was the guy that made it american? I just watched the most recent season and they all most definitely failed.

[–]SirHat 1 point2 points ago

[–]SprawlnBrawl 0 points1 point ago

Right, what I was saying is nobody has conquered the american version to date

[–]urmombaconsmynarwhal 15 points16 points ago

as someone in pretty good shape who works out 3-4 times a week, i truly can not fathom the strength required for this

[–]load_more_comets 7 points8 points ago

Lots of coordination too, I'd smash my face in with my knees, and that's just by picking up a quarter on the ground.

[–]menopel 25 points26 points ago

Here is a bit more from the same guy, Cato Aspmo from Sweden. He is an absolute beast, check out 5:22..

[–]emm22ett 0 points1 point ago

Good god... I wonder how many body parts he's broken.

[–]bobdle 0 points1 point ago

That's some of the coolest shit I've ever seen. Thx for posting that link.

[–]Applebeignet 7 points8 points ago

I thought I was a straight male until I saw this gif.

[–]StrayNeckbeard 6 points7 points ago

Should you or I x-post this to r/ladyboners for some easy karma?

[–]dumpstergirl 0 points1 point ago

most definitely.

[–]falsearrows 39 points40 points ago

nope, it requires agility as well

[–]deweyfinn 5 points6 points ago

My elbows broke just watching that.

[–]LeartS 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I thought about that too. Doesn't ctrl+shift+r reload the page while clearing the cache on Chrome? I tried and it was still working, so I left it as it was. Now I uploaded the gif to imgur.

EDIT: I looked it up: Ctrl+shift+R reloads and override the cache in Firefox, it's ctrl+f5 in chrome.

[–]willo_sea 2 points3 points ago

I think this is the first time I've ever actually wanted to see a gif reversed

[–]ChaseBregans 2 points3 points ago

this actually looks more plausible to my eyes than the original

[–]i_spin_bubbles 2 points3 points ago

It looks much more likely like this.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

As a fitness enthusiast and breakdancer (we prefer to be called bboys), I'd just like to state that the original is not reversed. This man is performing a combination of 2 moves: the kip-up, which is basically that cool way action stars hop up to their feet from their backs, and a handstand pushup, which is an intermediate calisthenics movement.

Neither of them demand a particularly large amount of strength; coordination and balance are more important. This guy is still pretty impressive though.

[–]anthdx 3 points4 points ago

I can't decide which one is more badass. Why are you doing this to me?!

[–]Glocka_Flocka 7 points8 points ago

the original is much more impressive.

[–]mattsprofile 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, it takes much more balance and strength to land on hands than on shoulders+hands.

[–]jimibulgin 1 point2 points ago

yep. makes me think that maybe the original is reversed.

[–]mattsprofile 0 points1 point ago

Now that you say it, the reverse did look pretty natural...

[–]i_spin_bubbles 0 points1 point ago

I don't think the original version is even possible... he would have touched the ground.

[–]Bleezy79 0 points1 point ago

The original is more impressive, surprisingly.

[–]almostdvs 0 points1 point ago

This actually looks like the original. In op's he sort of stalls or hits an invisible wall right before the flip.

[–]Gauss_Euler 0 points1 point ago

now put them togehter so he looks like hes going back and forth.

[–]twisted_sith 3 points4 points ago

Well I ate a whole pizza last night. We all have our talents.

[–]RowsdowersTruck 2 points3 points ago

I wonder how many times he faced it into the mat before he got the hang of it...

[–]cbtbone 2 points3 points ago

when he lands it looks like his triceps are about to burst through his skin

[–]haiku_robot 5 points6 points ago

when he lands it looks 
like his triceps are about

[–]cbtbone 0 points1 point ago

haiku_robot can count to seventeen, but is he a true robot?

[–]haiku_robot 2 points3 points ago

I am a true robot
beep boop bop

[–]cbtbone 0 points1 point ago

Aw come on, that was another one! How could you let a Haiku slide?

[–]zbakes 0 points1 point ago

Beep boop son beep boop.

Pure Repost

[–]Mapes 5 points6 points ago

My jimmies are going to be rustled if this post gets more karma than my original submission.

[–]buttermybars 2 points3 points ago

Is there one where he smashes is face into the ground?

[–]Goldennugget81 2 points3 points ago

For the lazy.

I recommend watching the whole video if you like stuff like this though.

[–]dumpstergirl -1 points0 points ago

he's not topless in the rest of the video.

[–]MuzzEmil 3 points4 points ago

So Im thinking, he could win Gold in the Olympic floor routine. Easily. Not even easily. Most of the stuff you see them doing, is stuff he does screwing around on at the gym. like this. I mean come on thats just stupid. Not to demean olympians, what they do is amazing, but this is beyond amazing. Im surprised there arent more olympic gymnasts with break-dancing/parkour backgrounds.

[–]SprawlnBrawl 0 points1 point ago

That's because most break-dancing/parkour guys are ex-gymnasts who couldnt make it to world competition level

[–]il_nibbio -1 points0 points ago

Not even easily. Most of the stuff you see them doing, is stuff he does screwing around on at the gym.

Nope.

[–]Jackthastripper 1 point2 points ago

Holy crap!! Scopalomina doesn't only post porn!!

[–]SymetriX 1 point2 points ago

What do you call this? Just gymnastics? Certain type of training program? Is there anywhere people can go to learn how to do this type of thing?

[–]TinHao 1 point2 points ago

It almost looks like there are missing frames in this video.

[–]Wistuba17 1 point2 points ago

It's power, a combination of speed and strength.

[–]perfsurf 1 point2 points ago

So good it looks fake. It's like he kicks off of a wall right when he flips around.

[–]Psilocyn 1 point2 points ago

Pure Envy

[–]BlindMonster 1 point2 points ago

He must've faceplanted so many times learning that trick.

[–]TestAcctPlsIgnore 1 point2 points ago

He kissed the ground

[–]DJSyko 1 point2 points ago

Imo that looks fake, i would like to see a slowed down version, seems like his legs just magically appear out the other side when he is doing the flip.

[–]SubtleMockery 1 point2 points ago

This is my fitness goal. It's not going well...

[–]zigzagofdoom 3 points4 points ago

Strength pures are for n00bz.

[–]Gogglor 1 point2 points ago

It looks like he kicks off an invisible wall. And it seems to jump in the middle. Why don't people link to youtube videos. All .gifs end up looking fake.

Btw, didn't realize I'm in r/gifs and I'm not saying this is fake.

[–]i_spin_bubbles 0 points1 point ago

I think it's reversed. This version doesn't at all look likely.

[–]VulturE 0 points1 point ago

the video its from didn't looked reversed.

[–]i_spin_bubbles 0 points1 point ago

I haven't seen the video yet.

[–]CandyMan77 1 point2 points ago

Does this guy even lift?

[–]your_inner_monologue 0 points1 point ago

The bursitis in my shoulder hurts just looking at that.

[–]Weemz 0 points1 point ago

Unreal. Also, some more pure strength (linked to specific time, but watch the whole video, dude is amazing.)

[–]FrostByt 0 points1 point ago

More like pure face plant. It does not take a lot of strength to do that. It's a ground flip to a hand stand. We did these all the time in kung fu class.

[–]geordilaforge 0 points1 point ago

That is goddamn impressive.

[–]guitarman507deny 0 points1 point ago

I wonder how many times he face planted before he got it down.

[–]dairypuma 0 points1 point ago

I could do that... I just don't want to.

[–]throwupchicken 0 points1 point ago

Or pure photoshop but same thing

[–]dontgiveadamn 0 points1 point ago

FAKE!

[–]JarasM 0 points1 point ago

Maybe I should try doing a few push-ups every once in a while.

[–]Smackithdown 0 points1 point ago

I'd smash my face into the floor I'm sure

[–]skyrimgirl 0 points1 point ago

Batman could do that, but better.

[–]tsmcirvin 0 points1 point ago

I just watched this for almost 5 minutes because he moved to the beat of a song that came on.

[–]Timisaghost 0 points1 point ago

Didn't strength pures phase out when the wilderness was removed? I guess this guy didn't get the memo.

[–]niteson 0 points1 point ago

pure strength you say i beg to differ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LkhVeW7VV0

[–]bettyechelon 0 points1 point ago

He almost stops moving in midair. O.o

[–]dilligasatall 0 points1 point ago

I wonder how many faceplants he did before he got this right.

[–]bostonsam 0 points1 point ago

Just watch his feet, they seem to hit a wall and then BAM there is the rest of him...

[–]Leroy_J 0 points1 point ago

A great gif would be the 9,376 times he smashed his face, before he nailed it.

[–]hablomuchoingles 0 points1 point ago

The thumbnail makes it look like this could've been about shiny chocolate. I am disappoint...

[–]abstroniam 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this gu doing parkour videos, and he's British. Anyone know who this guy is?

i do handstand push ups cause i want to do a kip up (the first half of him getting off the floor and landing on your feet) so its not surprising he can do the second part

[–]Ziggurattt 0 points1 point ago

I can do that, I just don't show off like this schmup.
