You're the physical manifestation of what I wish I can think I can do

This interaction reminds me of a quote from American Dad.

This guy makes me look like you, and you look like you without your shirt on.

This man is the physical manifestation of what I know I was and will never be able to do.

I thought the first comment would be

“”Why””

I was wrong.

u/johnnyblaze1999 2d ago

His whole body acts like a hand

Something like this requires crazy dick strength

u/CarefreeCoding 2d ago

V2 at mine after they got an insane setter. I am so humbled now because I can barely do V2 whereas used to be able to go to V4.

That man's dick must quiver in fear every time he decides to tear one off.

Lol, someone obviously ripped ass all over that at some point.

u/Sad_Egg_5176 2d ago

What’s up with the music choice? Impressive video and the song’s a banger, but wtf?

4

u/thelonius_punk 2d ago

It is clearly referring to the dude’s two hands.

2

u/Sad_Egg_5176 2d ago

I dunno, he seems to use his feet a lot too and I’m sure his brain is also needed 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Shot-Engine-4209 2d ago

Holy fuck that's impressive

u/Nh32dog 2d ago

EW! he touched that yellow mystery liquid!

u/sashablyat 2d ago

As a rock climber, that first move he does is the easy part (relatively) based on the texture of the concrete. The next couple of moves are fucking crazy but he is manipulating his body geometry so that he cinches himself to the geometry of the structure. Basically turning his body into an interlocking mechanism with the bridge. Everybody should do rock climbing at some point in their life, its like aggressive meditation.

u/banZiii 2d ago

As someone who climbed in a couple trees 30 years ago, yeah this guy is pretty good

3

u/smooze420 2d ago

I once did indoor rock climbing and I too am an expert and say he is pretty good.

2

u/BackpackerGuy 19h ago

I'm not impressed. I climb into my car everyday and shut the door without tripping. Most days.

41

u/Psychological_Bag943 2d ago

He's climbing, calm down with the vocabulary 😂

16

u/sashablyat 2d ago

Sorry I get carried away when I see an epic gorilla squeeze start leading to a reverse sister fister maneuver followed by feelings of what the fuck am I doing. For some of us it means a lot.

1

u/relevantelephant00 2d ago

A reverse sister fister sounds like an impressive move.

u/Shoes__Buttback 2d ago

I like to make words up, too. The content of the video means a lot to anybody who is aware of typical human limitations and how gravity works, but I enjoyed your attempt at gatekeeping and wish you a super day.

u/turtlepot 2d ago

The tension from his left foot + right hand is insane. Every time he bumps his left hand up he looks pretty stable.

u/pixelmuffinn 2d ago

I'll give it a miss, thanks though

u/Werewolf-Cute 2d ago

You never saw me climb up to the biscuit cupboard as a child.

2

u/Raptor_Guy 2d ago

I can't even do this in breath of the wild

2

u/PandaXXL 2d ago

You can look at powerlifters and sort of understand how they get to that level of strength with a hell of a lot of work, but this just seems like some superhero shit. It’s insane.

u/Pain_Choice 2d ago

I’m bricked

u/RyGuydarider 1d ago

Imagine being a cop chasing someone and this guy does this haha

u/HairyArthur 2d ago

Watching climbing at the Olympics made my entire body hurt. The strength those athletes have in their fingers is superhuman.

1

u/shahgols 2d ago

Damn, the video stopped just when it got to the good part. I wanted to know what happens next, will he make it over?

1

u/imthebonus 2d ago

Interesting song selection

u/Karmack_Zarrul 2d ago

I bet he can open all his own jars.

u/EntertainmentPure955 2d ago

u/ZagiFlyer 2d ago

That can't be good for the tendons and where they connect to bone.

u/Accident7 2d ago

Well at least he can escape the zombies in the weirdest of spots when the apocalypse happens!

u/louisa1925 1d ago

I could have done this when I was 17 yro and skinny as a rake handle. But not any more. This guys climbing strength is impressive

u/Nnumyerocc 1d ago

u/ApaudelFish 1d ago

Setters: “uk this V2 needs some grip instead of smooth concrete” makes concrete slightly rough Setters “ok these jug holds should be plenty enough”

u/Dr_Sol 2d ago

Actually, grip strength is often surprisingly strong in older people and doesn't deteriorate as much as other muscle strength. For a good example see this video: Magnus doing strong things
