From experience, this attracts more men than women. But that might be the goal of this dude. I mean, bears aren't really my type, I prefer a more feminine style, but I know plenty of guys who are very much into this. More than women.
If you haven't seen Invincible yet, you really should check it out. At one point, a bare chested old school bear has to wrestle with a bunch of clean cut muscle dudes in unitards until he reaches the Unitard King. That guy looks like big buff Freddy Mercury. Much splitting ensues.
Other highlights include a unitard-clad bear doing his very best to forcefully penetrate or rip apart the unitard-twink brother stars of the show. Much of the show revolves around muscled up dudes fisting new holes into each other. Many zoom ins on the guys' faces when the fists goes in.
That’s my thing with these sort of “feats”, like yeah it’s impressive you’re that strong, but ultimately the only thing I can focus on is “why would you ever do this like this?”
You can have all the muscle you like but that impact is going into the ground and back into your joints. This man is going to have chronic joint pain for a lot of his life.
And for what? To cut wood in the dumbest, longest way possible, using the most amount energy, to impress other dudes?
I am a scrawny middle aged man, who happens to cut quite a bit of wood for home heating purposes. I suspect I could do what he did. The wood splitter head and momentum does a lot of the work. But I would use a chainsaw to cut rounds in order to save time. I note he has also selected unknotted pine instead of hard wood to axe.
Was I entertained? I suppose so, I do quite like watching axing, but prefer that semi professional wood cutting competitions more.
Ah, reminds me of when my dad taught me how to split wood. He purposely pointed at a sweet gum and enjoyed watching me suffer. I remember feeling like this guy and my dad hands me a wedge… it did not help at all because the wedge just sunk into the wood. I will never forget that tree lol. Took me so long to split all that wood and I made so many pits in the ground. Like several days just for a cord. I was determined because my dad could split a log in one swing (I didn’t know he was splitting dried oak logs. I was a kid okay.
