Wow, that has gotta hurt! This weightlifter is strong and apparently very flexible…
Like lots of people, I spent my formative years in dance classes. But I’m pretty sure that I’ve never been able to do a split as deep as this buff weightlifter. (Or this heavily pregnant mama, for that matter.)
Granted, I’m not sure he did it entirely by choice. You only have so much control of the situation when you set your feet on two separate chairs and then let gravity do the rest, which is exactly what this dude does.
Oh, and did I mention that he’s holding a giant barbell over his head the entire time? Yes, you got that straight — this is a video of a man doing the splits while standing on two chairs and lifting a barbell over his head. And I thought this weightlifting six-year-old was impressive.
If you thought that was already plenty, just wait until you hear the soundtrack. There’s lots of grunting followed by raucous cackling, and both are set to a grooving backdrop of 80's pump-up music.
If we add to that the imminent threat of his sweatpants ripping in half, we have a pretty perfect example of a video in which nothing makes sense, and everything is awesome. Shine on, you crazy diamond — you are clearly living your life well.
And please SHARE if this guy is your new role model!
