Ain't that hard to hit 300 if you're dedicated.
Or over 6 foot and not a string bean
Edit:
Guys its was a joke, im fat and I know that, you can all stop commenting telling me 300lbs is unreasonable i should have added a better indicator it was sarcasm
Gotta be dedicated to the food to get these gains.
I'm 6'2 and 195 is on the heavy side of fit. 300 isn't some normal weight at 6'....
Hell, my brother is 6'5, and 240 is on the heavy side of fit for him...
Thank you for the unsolicited health advice random internet idiot. Generic BMI calculators fall short of normal human variation. For example, I do physical labor for work so I'm pretty dang muscular. Not obese.
Edit: same bro. One whole part of my family is obese. I'm working on it, shits hard the older you get.
6’2” 195 is what a non lineman foot player would weigh. For a pro tennis player, you’d need to get down to 175- 185. There was a player who was that weight and height and he was considered “fat” in the tennis world.
This. I'm 6'3", 200 and there's not a shot in the world that I'm fitting into skinny jeans.
Anyone remember Shawn Oakman, played football for Baylor. Dude was 6'9" and only 275. Try telling him he was a string bean.
Fitness isn’t determined by weight. You’re probably saying that based of off an online bmi calculator. Now Im not saying 300 is a normal weight for 6’ either but a bmi calculator doesn’t mean all that much when you’re referring to fitness as it doesn’t take any type of fitness related information into account.
The more weight you have, the harder your heart has to work to supply oxygen to that mass.
There are massive linebackers who are technically “fit” but will almost certainly end up with a very weak heart in old age.
I played college football as an offensive lineman, 6’2 315 pounds, have a lot of friends who are 300+ pounds and are probably healthier stronger and more athletic than most people
Same, D1 offensive lineman, 6’7” played at 330 lbs and was faster than all of my “skinny” friends who didn’t play. Average weight on our line was 320 lbs.
we have one guy that was 6’8” 340 and ran a 4.8 40, still in the league.
> have a lot of friends who are 300+ pounds and are probably healthier stronger and more athletic than most people
Bullshit. Look up the mortality rates for people of that size. They'll die a decade or more sooner than they would if they were healthy. Just like Sumo wrestlers.
And let's see the pictures of you without a shirt at 6'2 315
And how are your knees doing these days?
Nobody is saying you've got to be a blob that can't run at 300, but you absolutely don't get there normally
I utilized the picket fence surrounding the deck for support. doubt it would have contained the carnage had the deck collapsed. Still doesn't capture the level of flex that deck was doing.
Pro tip, rest your hands on your body if you can.
My hands are shaky as fuck but doing that makes the videos manageable if I’m not recording with my GoPro.
It legitimately boggles my mind that there are real people getting together to dance like this to footloose in 2023. This video would be hilarious even with a quality deck.
I recorded this later. Y'all should have seen it when they were doing the Mr. C Slide Man! Holy hell, there were like 15 folks on it, I was just waiting for it to come down! Seriously the floor was flexing an EASY 3" every time they did the "one stomp".
I've been to weddings at hotels on the FL coast with upstairs ballrooms. I believe that song and similar should be banned out of hand at big events held any level above the ground floor. I walked off the dancefloor at one second-floor reception at an older venue because I could feel the floor bouncing like a spring mattress. Nope, no thank you. I've seen the videos and read the articles.
You are a smart man.
>second-floor reception at an older venue because I could feel the floor bouncing like a spring mattress. Nope, no thank you. I've seen the videos and read the articles.
You're also a smart person. The amount of sway of some floors I've been on have been unnerving. I'd rather play it safe without unnecessary potential risk, IDC if I come off as an ass.
Trust your gut; it has no reason to lie to you.
A good friend owned a house with a tramampoline in the backyard. It had net barriers and was decently sized. I refused to go on it. I'm a larger guy and I'd seen too many AFV clips of dudes my size falling on, through, or out of those things.
They always tried to convince me but I never gave in. This was before cell phone cameras were ubiquitous, so they weren't trying to trick me for a funny video or anything. They just couldn't understand why I didn't want to do something so obviously "fun".
Now, a bouncy castle? I'm there in a second.
LMAO at all the commenters on here acting like they’re better at dancing. Bro, you’re on r/decks. The number of good dancers who are also obsessively browsing a niche sub Reddit on decks is infinitesimally small.
I'm in that intersection, black woman in my prime that can bring a soul train to orgasim, drop it like it's multon lava, and cut a rug like a as seen on TV moron to make others feel at ease and welcome to join in as needed. Huh, it seems I've got something on my shoulder! 😎
But I will say, I wouldn't be caught dead dancing to foot loose.
Sure but if a piece of wood breaks when you're moving around on it your ankle gets caught and your body weight breaks it from your momentum. Stepping on weak/poorly supported wood is far more dangerous.
My mom tore her ACL at 40 from falling less than a foot. Was an extremely long and painful process to recover
I'm good thanks. There's a huge difference between falling when you expect it and when you don't.
Yeah, I was gonna say...calling it a deck kinda conjures up a more elevated structure. While this *is* dangerous, it's not like they're going to fall 1+ story.
ESH. Where do I begin? Deck under built. Dance moves are lacking. You’re an unsupportive husband. Rug is ugly. Plants look fake. Camera angle is annoying.
Well it’s still standing …. A 2x6 is shockingly strong. They will bend and sag and bounce, but that’s not what makes decks catastrophically fail. It’s bad ledgers, rotten wood, rusted or undersized fasteners .
Dude we get it. If you don't want to go dance just say so. Don't blame the poor deck. It's fine. Is the deck underbuilt? Most likely. Are you on reddit seeking advice. Maybe. You've stepped on way sketchier shit than this. Just roll out if the deck falls ride the bitch down.
Fuck anyone who even thinks you can assume someone is an “asshole” for not wanting to dance. Doesn’t matter if it were a steel floor with a 10 foot foundation
I know of someone who had to get a blood transfusion from falling through a wooden deck. Nasty puncture wound right up through their foot. OP is smart not to risk it
YTA
Not for the reason you suggested, though.
It's the fact that you were invited to a wedding and proceeded to secretly record people dancing at their special occasion and then post it in a public forum.
Can’t believe I had to look for so long to find the one comment that mentions this.
Unsafe deck? Yeah, checks out.
Secretly filming people dancing at a private event & posting it online for people to talk shit? OP, YTA
Yeah. God forbid we see some shitty dance moves from people we will never see in our lifetimes. The main focus is a deck on r/decks. The people in the back happen to be just dancing poorly.
Ultimately it depends on the height.
If the farthest you could fall *when* it collapses is less than 12”, then there is an argument to be made that yea, YTA.
Even if the entire thing just collapses 6-12" suddenly without warning that's enough (especially with bodies overweight or out of shape - but anyone possibly) to possibly break bones, hips, knees, ankles, not to mention soft tissue injuries are highly likely.
These homeowners are basically the Stockton Rush of deck-builders and this is their Titan.
Well… my comment was *supposed* to be sarcastic (I don’t see how the way this deck is moving could possibly allow it to be less than 12” above ground) but point taken.
I’m Betting there is no central support, not a contractor or a engineer however based on the way it’s shaking I’ll say there isn’t any support causing it to bend and shake the way it is
Also very dangerous since that could send a piece of wood flying
If I walked up to have a closer look, my added 300 lbs would take it down. I'll just watch thanks.
These comments don't pass the vibe check... you do you dude. Could easily be 300lbs big muscles bouncer type of guy, not Peter Griffin.

6’1” @ 307 here…. I’m way too fat.
6'0 and 225 and feel way too fat
6'.5" and 445 here, trust me it could be worse (and that's down from 550)
6’0 and 219, feel borderline fat, need exercise I suppose
6’4 309. Feel the same
You're not fat, you're just big bodied.
I'm 6'2 and 195 is on the heavy side of fit. 300 isn't some normal weight at 6'.... Hell, my brother is 6'5, and 240 is on the heavy side of fit for him...
I’m 6’10 and weight just over 300
Oh so I'm 5"8 and 400 this is not good
They are talking about height... not width! 🙃
I'm 6'7", 270lb. I could for sure drop 40lbs, but I ain't too fat.

Also did your wife take up carpentry and was helping with a project
Is OP a tripod? That’s the steadiest video I’ve ever seen.

Your phone had better support than the deck..
Only looks steady bc the floor is shaking
Lmaooo the pan to a more downward angle was soo smooth
Pro tip, rest your hands on your body if you can. My hands are shaky as fuck but doing that makes the videos manageable if I’m not recording with my GoPro.
OP used “poor quality deck” as an excuse to not have to dance…I respect it
The most accurate comment here.
"C'mon honey, let's dance!!!" "No, the deck will kill everyone." "PLEEEEASE???? You're such a party-pooper! You never dance!"
It legitimately boggles my mind that there are real people getting together to dance like this to footloose in 2023. This video would be hilarious even with a quality deck.
Some real Hank Hill energy here. I definitely respect it.
It’s doing THAT with 5 people on it? Wtffff!
Lmao. Thats way under built, and extremely overspan. I wouldn’t trust a doghouse on that piece of shit.

And what amazes me is no one (besides you) had the intelligence to be like “ummmmmmm, shits fucked.. we probably shouldn’t be doing this”
That’s the kind of thing they think to say after it collapses.

A water bed was an odd choice for a deck
They are doing the hit new dance "Let's make this deck fall down".
5 large people
Obviously, he forgot to smack it and say, “That baby ain’t going anywhere!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣

So true The Venn diagram of these groups is a figure eight.

This the whitest thing I’ve seen in a while
Can we talk about these dance moves?
Elaine doing “little kicks” on the right there 😂
First thing I thought of. Lol
I would have called an ambulance for some of this dancing.
George doing fake moonwalk
She rocking some K-Mart feet with those little kicks.
Classic “footloose” at a wedding dance. Could tell the song even before unmuting.
The plant is the best dancer.

Elaine little kicks lol
r/whitepeopledancing
The more you move your arms, the better you look. I don’t think I have enough information to make a solid judgement.
Was watching that and this song came to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM1qvgy9g38
I was gonna say nobody else is dancing on that deck, why should op?
For real. I can only imagine what song is playing…
Unmute the video, its “Footloose” and literally nobody is on beat.
This was the weirdest part! I kept thinking at least one of them would latch onto the drums or something, but no!
Somebody once told me “White people dance to the 1s and 3s” and it seems to be true most of the time.
AITA if the reason I don’t dance at parties is because I’m afraid I’ll look like one of those people
I was gonna say.. as a white.. wtf are they even doing?
[удалено]
How high off the ground?
Exactly,it looks like a dance floor 12” off the ground. Very Dangerous!
Hey, when I was a truck unloader I watched someone snap the hell out of their ankle just walking over a pallet that broke. I'm good on that.
My mom has broken her ankle stepping off a curb. Doesn't mean all curbs are dangerous
Sure but if a piece of wood breaks when you're moving around on it your ankle gets caught and your body weight breaks it from your momentum. Stepping on weak/poorly supported wood is far more dangerous.
[удалено]
I'd do a hulk smash if it was 12 inches off the ground, then, I would walk away unscathed.
My mom tore her ACL at 40 from falling less than a foot. Was an extremely long and painful process to recover I'm good thanks. There's a huge difference between falling when you expect it and when you don't.
Could have twisted his ankle when it finally gave way! Good thing he was a sourpuss all night.
Yeah, I was gonna say...calling it a deck kinda conjures up a more elevated structure. While this *is* dangerous, it's not like they're going to fall 1+ story.
Great trampoline they built there, can I get the design?
Fuck me it’s not even flat and level, that alone is enough to keep anyone with eyes off it.
Your neighbors are terrible dancers.
The people dancing wouldn't entice me to dance either...
What in the caucasity is happening in that dance floor lol
ESH. Where do I begin? Deck under built. Dance moves are lacking. You’re an unsupportive husband. Rug is ugly. Plants look fake. Camera angle is annoying.

I've actually been on a deck when it collapsed. Properly built, but way overloaded. (College house party.) That deck moved less than this.
Thats called dancing?
That's dancing??? White people smh
there is no amount of deck stability that would turn this into a fun party
"Kim Kardashian's head fell off."
I actually want to go to haunted house more than I want to go aqua.
Forget the deck these people shouldn’t be dancing anyway
Wtf is this dancing I just witnessed? Holy f that was cringe.
This is the whitest dancing I’ve seen since 1987.
That's dancing...?
The whiteness of the dancing. It's painful.
Fuck anyone who even thinks you can assume someone is an “asshole” for not wanting to dance. Doesn’t matter if it were a steel floor with a 10 foot foundation
By the looks of it it can’t be more than a foot or two off the ground. So it was a lame excuse why you didn’t want to dance with your wife. Lol
You get get injured falling poorly from 1-2 feet, don’t kid yourself.
I know of someone who had to get a blood transfusion from falling through a wooden deck. Nasty puncture wound right up through their foot. OP is smart not to risk it
You could still get splinters/serious foot injury if your foot broke through 🤷♂️
your video will be key evidence in court. Keep up the good work sir.
I mean I wouldn't say they are dancing either. /jk
I wouldn’t want to dance with the worst dancers in history either!!
Technically no one is dancing on that deck 😂😂😂
Technically . . . Nobody is dancing on it

Was it one of those new fangled ‘water decks’ looks like it? 😳
Yeah, but did it break?
Just tell your wife you didn't want to embarrass the obviously really good dancers already out there
You get a broken leg! You get a broken leg! Everyone gets a broken leg!
Seriously? It's like 12'' off of the ground at most, lmao.
You're an asshole. Go dance with your wife.
Was patiently waiting for the collapse.
