For most people to achieve some of the things he did would probably be counterproductive in terms of overall exercise balance.

On an elite level, with the same training regime, the people with the favorable genetic makeup will excel. No amount of extra training can make up for genetics after a certain point. There actually may be a whole book on this.

Man I don't want to be the negative guy all the time, but I have always failed to see the appeal with these kinds of workouts, and the crossfit promotional videos either.

Doing what your average gymnast does when they are like 12 years old can't be said as impressive. I guess it says a lot for the decline of the sport of gymnastics...


As far as "street fitness" goes IMHO Parkour is innovative and interesting because it incorporates elements and application not traditionally found in gymnastics. Ghetto workout / crossfit, not so much.

Now if only he didn't have twigs for legs I'd be impressed.

You see a lot of dudes with that type of build in boxing gyms. Jacked upper body and little scrawny chicken legs.

I think it would be interesting if this guy signed up for Ninja Warrior (or Sasuke for the JDM masters ). With the amount of upper body strength this guy has, he might have a chance.

Huh, guy's got a pretty good sense of balance. That, and a super low body fat content. Not bad.
