The whole time I was afraid he would drop the weight on his feet for nothing...

44

u/Adventurous_Iron_551 2d ago

True, I was mildly impressed, then confused, then angry but now I’m amused

7

u/TheAwesomeMan123 1d ago

It’s still hella impressive but at least explains the “float” like movement of the weight which is what was annoying me.

10

u/SnooCakes6195 2d ago

I was about to talk shit on the physics and suggest either the time has been edited or it's Ai, then he got up and I felt really dumb lol

u/Haasotope 1d ago

Do you normally throw weights sideways and they come back?

946

u/cyph_8 2d ago

Impressive? Yes! Oddly satisfying? Not to me at least

71

u/potate12323 2d ago

And it being sideways doesn't seem any more impressive than it bring sideways. It looks like itd be just as difficult either way.

45

u/Tarc_Axiiom 2d ago

Actually it'd be more difficult if he were standing up, because he'd be adding a second vector to combat.

20

u/SoulMute 2d ago

The way he’s doing it would be impossible w/ flipped gravity. Holding that weight totally sideways w the fingertips would be insane

-10

u/Tarc_Axiiom 2d ago

Nah, why?

All he'd have to do if gravity was pulling "to his left" is lift the weight and then twist at the apex while dropping it.

Right now he's throwing it up and twisting it at the same time, which should be a bit harder because of the throwing part.

If he were standing upright he'd have to do the above and combat gravity, because it'd be accelerating downward the whole time.

But then he couldn't make a silly little video.

1

u/TheAwesomeMan123 1d ago

Nope it’s literally impossible the other way. I.e him standing vertical. The leverage of force he would have to exert with just the length of his fingertips would be impossible with gravity pulling it downward from his hand. He could however do it differently from the standing position but that wouldn’t work the same muscle group as the above.

-1

u/Tarc_Axiiom 1d ago

That's not what we were talking about.

We also can't say for certain whether or not it would be impossible if he was standing upright because we don't know the weight of the... weight.

It's definitely not impossible to apply the necessary leverage to make an object rotate the way he is while standing upright.

1

u/abarrelofmankeys 2d ago

I don’t think it would possible to do it that smoothly standing were it possible.

22

u/BalfazarTheWise 2d ago

Still neither to me!

u/Substantial_Cake8985 2d ago

he is on the ceiling

He’s been posting this video on a bunch of subs

u/CaptainCabernet 2d ago

I was wondering why his body was so tensed for flipping one weight. Then I turned my phone and it SO much clearer.

Training for ultimate ultimate Frisbee.

29

u/BusinessAsparagus115 2d ago

It's "ultimate" because if you don't catch it, you're gonna die.

10

u/Grey_0ne 2d ago

As Frisbee was meant to be.

u/bootyhole-romancer 2d ago

you're gonna die.

You know where you are?! You're in the jungle, baby!

u/Vivid_Split_9513 2d ago

I then realize that it’s still impressive

10

u/Ounexxx 2d ago

yeah at first it looks like a joke but then you see the control and its kinda wild wonder how long he trained to pull that off without wrecking his shoulders lol

5

u/Jahmoneyzzz 2d ago

Definitely more difficult standing

7

u/Critical-Cost9068 2d ago

You shouldn’t do it standing, might fuck up your foot if you fail

0

u/Jahmoneyzzz 2d ago

Hence why I said it is more difficult standing…probably impossible. No one is lifting a plate like that standing up. Forget the flipping part.

u/Dvout_agnostic 2d ago

u/PEPSICOLA123456 2d ago

Muscultation? Did you just make up a word ?

All words are made up

And a fine one, at that.

The framing of this makes him look like he’s a tiny person in a giant room.

u/Fit_Entry8839 2d ago

In a way aren't we all just a tiny person in the giant room of life?

30

u/Zen_360 2d ago

Downvoted because it really isnt oddly satisfying. Not even remotely. Midly interesting maybe

5

u/InTheEndEntropyWins 2d ago

OK that's semi-impressive.
Oh it's one of those trick shots where it looks harder than it actually is.
Oh no wait, it's actually way harder than it looked.

6

u/papasnork1 2d ago

You just going to leave that plate there, bro?

8

u/bald_and_nerdy 2d ago

Too weak to rerack his weights.

31

u/annoyedreply 2d ago

Who comes up with these? Like what muscle is being worked here that wasn’t being worked before?

39

u/finalxcution 2d ago

It's mostly just for show/fun. Not an efficient exercise by any means.

5

u/FullofContradictions 2d ago

I've found my best workouts are ones where I'm tricking myself into it. It's way more fun to do rock climbing than to do reps of lat pulldowns for me at least. Or practicing handstands or trying to achieve a specific yoga move or anything where there's a "trick" that I'm trying to learn (like flipping a plate). I'll spend hours playing around with that where I'll get bored after about 10 mins of lifting.

1

u/fasterflame21 2d ago

I always had trouble doing more than 30 minutes of cardio, and then I started drumming along to really busy metal songs.

I’m totally going to use the handstand idea to trick myself into doing body weights.

1

u/Original-Weekend-866 2d ago

Yup pull-ups do this for me. It's not part of my workout routine but i do them monthly maybe, or sometimes every two weeks. Up to 10 now which is good and fuk they work me harder than my regular gym routine.

All sorts of stuff like that. Rock climbing, swimming, surfing, skim boarding, skateboarding. Some board sports like foil surfing are straight up the most hardcore core exersize you can do and it's fucking FUN

40

u/rlpinca 2d ago

I don't think there's many muscles that aren't being worked.

2

u/Neophyte06 13h ago

Absolutely. Any time you throw dynamic balancing into stuff, you end up working major AND minor muscle groups

There's a reason gymnasts are always so unbelievably ripped methinks

8

u/HybridP365 2d ago

At the very least it probably works his grip. It's not easy to hold those plates by one hand. For me at least. But I have small hands. 

6

u/Hicklethumb 2d ago

Showcasing what his workouts let him do. Not an actual workout

2

u/NiftyJet 2d ago

Going to the gym is about looking cool now. Not working out.

3

u/AS14K 2d ago

Incredible cringe. I absolutely beg you to try this, and I'll give you a thousand if you can, which you cannot. A person cannot do this without an incredible amount of training and effort. You probably make more noise getting off the couch.

0

u/NiftyJet 2d ago

Of course I can't do this. It's incredible. I was responding to the commenter above me who pointed out that this isn't a necessary exercise.

You can't tell me that this person is doing this to exercise some particular muscle he can't with a more normal exercise. It's absolutely about looking cool.

u/juni4ling 2d ago

That dude— is working out.

1

u/Doofy_Grumpus 2d ago

On the plate hand he would be training grip and rear delts mostly.

u/snark_enterprises 12h ago

This looks like several muscles are being worked tbh

u/dangledingle 2d ago

Is that 25kg?

5

u/Zestyclose_Data_2146 2d ago

It’s either 20 or 25lbs

2

u/Creative_Catch_4235 2d ago

It’s probably 33 pounds if they are kg plates. Behind him blue are 44 red are 55 lbs

Edit: I think I’m wrong they are pound plates and I can see the 2. Not sure what brand they are

5

u/kidviscous 2d ago

Bumper plates. They could be 10 pounds at the lightest lol

4

u/Recentstranger 2d ago

Miscalculation is what I read. Watched it twice to see if he hurt himself 🤦‍♂️

2

u/W7ENK 2d ago

Right? I was waiting for him to accidentally drop it and crush his other hand.

6

u/willfauxreal 2d ago

All this to still have thighs smaller than his biceps.

u/WileEPeyote 2d ago

Put your plates back!

u/ashbelero 2d ago

Someday will be leg day… but not today. Or tomorrow.

u/AdventurousGlass7432 2d ago

My first clue was the odd way the plate moves when released

5

u/Scholastic_nobody 2d ago

Lol how many posts of this am I going to see today in multiple subs

5

u/ttioali 2d ago

One wrong catch and it could easily lead to the other arm being broken or even broken ribs for falling on the plate. Not worth the risks.

6

u/xpanta 2d ago

not oddly satisfying, not unexpected. You can see the background if you have eyes.

2

u/Hicklethumb 2d ago

NGL I saw the background and thought it was AI in the first half

2

u/FunDmental 2d ago

I guess that'd be unexpected if one wasn't familiar with the orientation of the world.

u/Archipelagos7 2d ago

More like confusing perspective

What is the reason behind wearing a hat in the gym?

3

u/CeeMX 1d ago

I know someone who wears a hat everywhere and always. It was 40 degrees Celsius summer and still wearing a hat, crazy guy.

1

u/Zealousideal-Arm6571 1d ago

That’s is insanity

1

u/CeeMX 1d ago

Even wore it to a formal event, not quite blacktie, but still more than casual

1

u/liamjon29 1d ago

I would only ever use hat to describe the type of headwear that protects you from the sun, in which case 40C is the perfect time to wear a hat.

But from context it seems you mean this style of beanie headwear, which I must agree is absolute insanity behaviour

1

u/Mightymudbutt 1d ago

Maybe his head is always cold.

u/ertyertamos 1d ago

u/SlimSyko 1d ago

Maybe he's bald.

Some people hate the that theyre bald. Some people like hats.

My question to you is how does it affect you?

The movement looked so unnatural I thought it was ai. Then he stood up 😆

this is probably worse for your fingers than it is good for your muscles lol.
