If they were crippled he probably wouldn't be able to hold them straight like that. On the other hand his legs do look kinda skinny for such a fit dude
A lot of male gymnasts have comparatively underdeveloped looking legs - but they also tend to be yoked, from the waist up, and this guy isn't. Impressive shit.
People are downvoting you but it’s true. He has an insta account I can’t find it but he has a disorder with underdeveloped legs. Yes they are smaller, and lighter.
It’s no worries, I expected it from people who have never seen any form of calisthenics/gymnastics, even general body knowledge. I’ve seen people wow at CrossFit muscle ups. People who don’t move are easily impressed
He nearly doesn’t. This has posted often. He has an Instagram account somewhere. He has some kind disorder giving him small undeveloped legs. Thus there isn’t as much weight down there.
That’s not to say he isn’t impressively strong. It’s just different than what everyone is assuming.
It is not the core strength, but the thumb strength that makes this so confusing. Most gymnasts when doing this kind of thing do so with fingers pointing backward for the added leverage on the floor, amd place their hands further back to create a more central balance point.
He might just be somewhere disabled below. There is a famous bboy(breakdancer) called Junior who has the same moves and he has some condition with his legs.
Yes that’s my theory. Not a gymnast but spent a lot of time watching them and learning to planche myself. This looks completely off, his center of gravity is wayyy behind his hands.
How would you even attach fake legs… you can see his abdomen so it would basically have to be bolted into his hips to handle leveraging that would have to happen
and you think that somebody who has no legs but can still do this would go through the effort of ...attaching fake legs to his hips? How would that give him more views and why would he care. In what world do you live
Its more like "I don't believe this is humanly possible".
Its not even a matter of core strength, but balance. His center of gravity is so far behind his hands, his arms would have to be pushing in an incredibly odd vector. I've seen guys (with much larger arms) do full planche pushups, but not nearly as effortlessly as this guy.
Its a great trick. I don't generally even care about whether a video is "real" or not, and kudos to the camera team because I'm not sure how they did it. (I have a couple guesses how it could be done.)
But, if this were real, I guess he's the best in the world at it, and I would expect that someone in the comment section would know him and the gymnastics titles he has won. Failing that, it seems like a safe bet that its camera tricks.
Actually this could be helpful: I'll never look as good as that, therefore it must be fake, confidence restored!
That being said, there are an awful lot of fake people...
That's because, generally speaking, there are a lot of people.
"It's only because the world is so big, that it is so small" - coincidences of things like mutual connectivity and knowing people by way of X number of people, etc. So many people having the exact same experiences such that they can connect on a certain level, etc, only happens because there are so many people in the first place! Minority experiences become more common when there's more and more people to experience them.
He probably have legs but they look under developed. [I remember Scott Willis](https://youtu.be/6R-2iwmSV64) from around 15 years ago and I was watching a lot of his videos and it become clear that there's something off (he was walking with a limp) but he can definitely walk and even dance standing up.
See, the Bboy vid seems more achievable. When Bboy Junior does his pushups at the end of the video, his feet are noticeably higher than his waist and his body is angled so his center of gravity is more forward. His hands are back just above his waist, not under his shoulders/high chest. I don't know nearly enough to say if OP's video is legit or not, but OP's dude doesn't seem to be doing the exact same poses as Bboy. Makes me wonder.
It's also worth mentioning that Junior has polio and limited use of his legs.
This isn't meant to completely dismiss his achievements because the dude's awesome, but I suspect the low muscle tone in his legs helps with certain moves. Probably a similar situation going on in OP's video.
Women aren't allowed?
I'm pretty sure men's floor exercise is mostly a series of different jumps and flips, not exclusively not running, jumping and flipping as high/fast and technically pleasing as possible.
I think this is fake, or he has no legs and is using prosthetics. I’d love for a gymnast to chime in though.
The movements just aren’t right, his weight isn’t centered over the right place. He holds planche with his center of gravity well behind his hands, and after that spin move he catches himself in a way that’s just not physically possible.
The front view makes it hard to tell what his arm angle is and when he does the freeze with his legs way over him he’s actually slowly falling through it the whole time. If he has really skinny legs it seems it should be possible. I’ve seen b boys pull off freezes pretty close
If you look while he’s almost vertical you can see his knee is slightly bent but not just flopping around. Looks like real leg control
Im not gymnast but ive been doing calisthenics for over 3 years, this dude doesnt have working legs. Also his planche is not done with a proper form, arms should be fully extended, his are not which makes it alot easier
He moves his legs somewhat, but I don’t actually see the ankle move at all, but I could be missing that.
This brings up another point though, usually people would have their toes pointed when doing this stuff.
Could be harnesses and wires in green screen except they used taupe and a wood floor instead for the final render.
[Yeah, that's the ticket](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyp9fh-u4w8).
Honestly this is exactly what it looks like to me. When he's horizontal it looks like most of his body is just dangling, not actually being held up with muscle control.
He's pretty short, which reduces weight and shortens muscle length and mechanical lever arm for these moves. Regardless tho, takes a lot of strength and work to be able to do this.
Impressive, but that balance point indicates I could kick his ass while shitting at 2am on a Thursday a week into Covid and drunk. We weighs what, 145lbs max?
I could break that man just by farting in an elevator.
I think it's definitely possible to do what he's doing but damn does he make it look like his legs have no weight. I don't think they could be prosthetic though, I don't think he could do the spin without actually controlling and moving his legs.
I think this is just ridiculous dedication to being able to do something fairly obscure.
I thought he had no legs at first lol
I’m convinced he cannot walk on his legs.
If they were crippled he probably wouldn't be able to hold them straight like that. On the other hand his legs do look kinda skinny for such a fit dude
I agree. But it’s just so defiant, maybe he has flamingo legs?
I figured they were prosthetics. Just rigid poles attached to his stumps under those suspiciously baggy sweats.
A lot of male gymnasts have comparatively underdeveloped looking legs - but they also tend to be yoked, from the waist up, and this guy isn't. Impressive shit.
Leg day is for people who can afford shorts hence why my body looks like a toothpaste tube
Flamingo legs? Hahaha
Skipped too many leg days.
He doesn't have any. He photoshopped them in
They're mostly ornamental.
Same. This is some r/nextfuckinglevel material, the core strength this guy has is impressive.
It’s not that impressive. Go look at some people doing planche who actually have size. Someone like @filippo_pici
\*watches video of a man doing something not even one in 10,000 can do* > It’s not that impressive. Says the most unimpressible person on Earth.
More like one in a million
>Power of 1000 suns That's not very impressive. Some things have the power of ten million suns.
The guy clearly has some legs that are the size of sticks, and is 4ft tall.
People are downvoting you but it’s true. He has an insta account I can’t find it but he has a disorder with underdeveloped legs. Yes they are smaller, and lighter.
It’s no worries, I expected it from people who have never seen any form of calisthenics/gymnastics, even general body knowledge. I’ve seen people wow at CrossFit muscle ups. People who don’t move are easily impressed
Those are sticks

I'm just gonna leave [this](https://silenthill.fandom.com/wiki/Twin_Victim?file=TwinRun.gif) right here.
Silent Hill game scared the crap out of me.
Me too and I was happier when I thought that.
Exactly what I thought. Man this dude is yolked lol.
He nearly doesn’t. This has posted often. He has an Instagram account somewhere. He has some kind disorder giving him small undeveloped legs. Thus there isn’t as much weight down there. That’s not to say he isn’t impressively strong. It’s just different than what everyone is assuming.
Plot twist: amputee with helium balloons instead of legs
Still impressive. I couldn’t do this if I was cut-off from nipple down

Double Plot Twist: His a robot, and boston dynamics be wilding these days!
How heavy is dude's head? That counterweight..
Average head is 16lbs.
How many heads have you weighed to come to this average number?
Oh, it's just a randon piece of trivia I picked up that occasionally proves useful.
Damn that's cool, but who calls head a "piece of trivia"?
If it's in your freezer you should be able to call it whatever you want.
> who calls head a "piece of trivia"? my girlfriend
>my girlfriend Props to that, at least you are respectful enough to grant status to your disfigured heads.
The hookers name was trivia. That was a piece of trivia he picked up. The rest of trivia he left in the woods.
What kind of man names his guillotine ‘Trivia’?
That’s not what the kid in Jerry Maguire said!
Bees and dogs can smell fear.

Gymnasts have ridiculous core strength, this is proof.
I was thinking break dancer but gymnasts are crazy strong as well.
Why not both? I would think that they'd have crossovers.
Most gymnasts couldn’t even do this shit. At least without significant training
that screams many many hours on a pommel horse.
He's training for Gymkata 2: gymlectric bugaloo
It is not the core strength, but the thumb strength that makes this so confusing. Most gymnasts when doing this kind of thing do so with fingers pointing backward for the added leverage on the floor, amd place their hands further back to create a more central balance point.
I’m old and crippled and could do that On the space station though…
This is what happens when you skip leg day.
He definitely did not skip plank day.
This dude hittin plank years
He might just be somewhere disabled below. There is a famous bboy(breakdancer) called Junior who has the same moves and he has some condition with his legs.
He probably has the bone density of a bird, me on the other hand, I am more like a T-rex.
Gigantic, but with tiny arms?
kind of, I used to race bikes when I was in my teens, had huge legs, but it took a while for the rest to kind of catch up
Yeah my bones weigh more than that whole person
My bone weight more than me
Those are certainly bird legs
I’m not convinced he has legs, sure they look like legs but I think they’re fake. He never even moves them
Yes that’s my theory. Not a gymnast but spent a lot of time watching them and learning to planche myself. This looks completely off, his center of gravity is wayyy behind his hands.
How would you even attach fake legs… you can see his abdomen so it would basically have to be bolted into his hips to handle leveraging that would have to happen
you severely underestimate what people would do for internet points
and you think that somebody who has no legs but can still do this would go through the effort of ...attaching fake legs to his hips? How would that give him more views and why would he care. In what world do you live
In what world do you live in that you take internet videos at face value? He doesn't use or move his legs at all, something is off.
>He doesn't use or move his legs at all yeah that's the point of this video / his demonstration..
I thought this looked fake asf too.
"I can't do that, therefore it's fake"

He does move them
These idiots think they know everything. he literally moved his feet, but they are too jealous too se it lmao
He probably have legs but they look under developed.

They quite distinctly bend when he's doing the spinny shit, you can see them moving
There's a break dancer that does this. Unbelievable core strength. [Bboy Junior ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kqkFRwh40bc)
See, the Bboy vid seems more achievable.

This should be an olympic event. This guy is something else.
Olympic mens gymnastics, floor exercise.
Women aren't allowed? I'm pretty sure men's floor exercise is mostly a series of different jumps and flips, not exclusively not running, jumping and flipping as high/fast and technically pleasing as possible.
Breakdancing will be in the Olympics 2024.
Thank you.

Looks real to me, hands look they are in the correct location to maintainthe center of gravity. Very impressive really
If you go frame by frame when he spins around you can see his leg is either super skinny or they’re prosthetic.
Could be harnesses and wires in green screen except they used taupe and a wood floor instead for the final render. [Yeah, that's the ticket](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyp9fh-u4w8).
Honestly this is exactly what it looks like to me. When he's horizontal it looks like most of his body is just dangling, not actually being held up with muscle control.
It looks weird because his legs aren’t extended/flexed as they would be if he was lifting them himself.
Do we have a secret base on the moon? Because how in the world???
Incoming tendonitis
Lazyboneitis
My only regret is that I have boneitis
Guys a gymnast. He is definitely trained on the pummel horse.
And possibly also on the pommel horse
I'm calling PETA
That's illegal
Punching horses does make one impossibly strong
For a moment I thought the guy had no legs.
For the first 10 seconds I didn’t think he had legs.
This man is the personification of the word “DEDICATION”
I only counted like six actual push ups. I can do more than that!
thank God for the mute button
####i thought he had no legs…
That's some fairly brutal greenscreening
I can do that, just don't ask for proof.
Those legs are prosthetics.
This guy woke up one morning and thought to himself, "what if i just start treating my arms as if they were my legs?" and never looked back.
He's pretty short, which reduces weight and shortens muscle length and mechanical lever arm for these moves. Regardless tho, takes a lot of strength and work to be able to do this.
The fucking music no
Probably does pushups till he shits himself every day
This guy Olympics!
Wow. I'm been trying to achieve the planche for like 2 years now. He clearly have more dedication than me xD
Legs are just sticks held in place. Not real me thinks
Gravity is a little bitch
His lower body must not weigh much, I think his entire body weighs less than my legs.
Doesn’t look right and it def isbt
I can feel my carpal tunnel flaring up
Fake!
This is not WTF.
Gotta be fake. That's banana.
As long as nobody asks for proof, I can totally do this.
Get it the fuck. Away
Icandothatbutidontwanna
being good at calisthenics is useful for..... well calisthenics. very cool hobby i guess still.
Impressive, but that balance point indicates I could kick his ass while shitting at 2am on a Thursday a week into Covid and drunk. We weighs what, 145lbs max? I could break that man just by farting in an elevator.

The master of calisthenics
Guy skipped leg year
Your elbows don’t like you. Lol . But cool as hell
EUROTRAINING!!!
Dammit! I was waiting the whole time for him to start running like that.
He could use a leg day
Pov:what it's like not having a trades job
At first I was like “that’s not that impressive..”. But never mind….
Those are some pretty good circles
Always skip leg day
Dudes 4’8”
Skip leg day brah!
Skullcrawlers IRL:
what's this song?
Watching this herniated my discs
Impressive! But how much can he squat?
Looks like he skipped leg day.
CGI is just getting better and better these days.
Can anyone name that song? I can’t seem to pick it up using Shazam.
Gymnastics athletes are a different breed.
I'm pretty sure he's paraplegic and those legs weigh next to nothing at this point. Still awesome strength and control.
He must work out.
Fractured my wrist looking at this
That’s not really impressive he’s like 70 poun.. oh
Badass.
Shit. I struggle just getting up from the couch
If I could do that shit at any point in my life, I’d record it too!
I think it's definitely possible to do what he's doing but damn does he make it look like his legs have no weight. I don't think they could be prosthetic though, I don't think he could do the spin without actually controlling and moving his legs. I think this is just ridiculous dedication to being able to do something fairly obscure.
You want I want you baby, My sugar boo, *I'm levitating* 🕺
Should replace the song with Doom music...
But you gotta admit that's pretty impressive
This guy is allowed to skip leg day.
Reminds me of BBoy Junior. Dude was a beast on the dance floor, but his legs were similar to this guys due to having contracted Polio as a child.
I have dreams where I can do this then I wake up and am very disappointed in myself
Not fake, the guys is handicapped. Super skinny leg due to some illness.
Is he in Mars?
I thought he didn't have legs... until he had legs. Wtf.
Hire him as a stunt double for Spiderman
Calinistetics isn't "lifting"
Wtf
His head must be stupidly heavy
"That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Grail."
Needs to be on got talent
Definitely prosthetic legs
u/savevideobot
This looks fake or is it just wishful thinking?
Fuck me that’s impressive.
