What's pulling his legs up? There's no way he's doing it with his arms. The location of his (or anybody's) center of mass, just above the hips, generally, won't allow it.
Nothing is pulling his legs up, it's pure muscle strength and control. It's actually a move in Men's Gymnastics in the floor exercise event, where they usually transition to a handstand - and there are a few similar moves on parallel bars and the rings. It can be done, but you have to have incredible strength and a gymnast's physique.
No, what he's doing is impossible without some kind of external support. Like Anon noted, his hands are way too far forward of his center of balance.
Remember the Mission Impossible movie? Tom Cruise had to add weight inside his shoes for the scene where he's hanging from his waist by wires or else he would slam his face into the floor (which he did a few times).
There's no amount of strength that can overcome basic phsyics. His CG is somewhere around his butt. What's shown in that gif is impossible without some kind of special effects.
You can see the smile on the elephant calfs face! #1 why i never ever let anybody drive my bike, unless i know you can and i have road with you!!! grayman
I've seen a martial arts guy do this so, I guess it is physically possible. Maybe the Army can add this to the new PT test? Naw, the new snowflakes would just say it is too hard.
It looks like he's (#10) trying to do a "planche pushup" but his hands look too far forward. I can't see any wires, or creases in his pants from wires, but it looks highly improbable to me.
Griz is always fun to watch. (on TV that is) #7 Looks like a fun chick. Bogside nailed #8, Finally, a shout out to Murika's last generation of Ninja at #9. Ohio Guy
#8: Main attraction at the Kamala Harris theme park.
ReplyDelete3) That bear has used that strategy before!
ReplyDelete7) How far did she really think she was going to be able to go, anyhow? She does seem to have managed to hold onto her drink and her phone, though.
I'd say the guy in #10 appears reasonably fit.

Baby Elephant made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for mom to come over and knock the baby away.

Delete#10 I'm a certified gym rat, go 5 days a week, and thought I had seen everything until now.... Is this even physically possible?

DeleteIt's not. Too much weight toward the feet. His hands are nowhere near center of gravity.
DeleteThe only way it's possible is special effects (probably someone lifting his feet with wire).

ReplyDeleteUsually, you just stand there staring in dismay as your idiot friend runs the bike you let them ride into a pole, wall, or car like peewee herman.
Ten times funnier when the dude is in the bitch seat.
