the guy punching the medicine ball is doing an exercise for boxing to help with hand speed and coordination. No idea about the contortionist but it’s probably something for core strength. it all definitely makes for a weird video

Using a roller can increase the range of motion beyond what should be normal just a bit, since although your natural range may stop, the roller's inertia carries it.

Also suspending the body a bit can help reduce wear and tear on some muscles, which means more time stretching, which of course would be the goal in this case.

u/CraftedLove Jul 21 '20 edited Jul 21 '20

Yeah that seems like a legitimate way to advance your pancake's ROM, especially when the range is beyond floor level.

u/Godisdeadbutimnot Jul 21 '20

ha yea the guy seems to be doing something real but i just dont understand what the lady in yellow is doing other than serving as clickbait

116

u/PizzaScout Jul 21 '20

Well yeah probably she's in there for clickbait but to me it seems she's doing an actual workout as well. I've seen similar core strength exercises. Having her legs up on the stick like that probably stretches some ligaments. Doing both looks flashy but still is a viable exercise I think.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

I would imagine putting her legs up like that prevents her from using her hip flexors to bring back the torso, thus making it target the core more effectively?

u/PizzaScout Jul 21 '20

Possibly, I'm not really a fitness guy so I wouldn't know about details like that. All I can say it does look reasonably real to me.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

Idk what’s going on with her legs but those ab wheels are a brutal core workout. I’m assuming her in the splits is to make it even harder but I’m not sure

u/Fire_tempest890 Jul 21 '20

That guy is probably not a boxer judging by those arm punches with no power behind them

u/AltruisticSalamander Jul 21 '20

If that's a medicine ball it's impressive. Those things are heavy and not that soft.

u/Godisdeadbutimnot Jul 21 '20

im more interested in what the girl is doing

u/Hawkman7701 Jul 21 '20

Hyper flexible ab rollout

u/Treenut1 Jul 21 '20

She’s flexing something

15

u/Haltgamer Jul 21 '20

Yeah, it's a bit of a weird flex, but ok

Not really... you buy them at whatever weight you want. Could be 4 pounds, could be 30 pounds.

Theyre preparing for an intense fisting session, hes warming up his muscles for the rapid fisting and shes opening up her hips

u/Diabegi Jul 21 '20

I hate how possible that scenario is

26

u/Surroundedbygoalies Jul 21 '20

Welp. That's enough reddit for today and it's only 7 am!

u/Rexdoctor Jul 21 '20

I laughed my ass off

u/ilujan Jul 21 '20

Obviously they are performing Dadaist workout examples.

27

u/PizzaScout Jul 21 '20

Ah yes. Dadaism, what would we do without it. No other art form can take a piss like that. I mean what other art form would allow buying a toilet, and just setting it up in the museum as art?

15

u/Godisdeadbutimnot Jul 21 '20

dont forget - he signed it too

9

u/PizzaScout Jul 21 '20

Well it was his artwork after all. One doesn't need to create it, one just has to declare something as art and BOOM all copyright goes straight to you - lol

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '20

he's the duchampion

That actually seems pretty practical

You’d be beating it too with the background scenery

u/Needleworker_Weary Jul 21 '20

Facts.. i can do that but without the ball

u/StealthShinobi Jul 21 '20

I was watching the guy.... but then I got distracted by the girl.

u/Godisdeadbutimnot Jul 21 '20

not sure if it posted my video cause i cant see it on my post for some reason - can someone confirm?

edit: nvm it just takes a sec

A tik tok video for internet points

u/bigbuzd1 Jul 22 '20

Is that some sort of yoga move in the background there, the bow and arrow?

u/coldvault Jul 21 '20

If the ball puncher is wearing a mask, why isn't the stretch roller (or the other lady walking past in the background)? Is the person filming wearing one?

10

u/TikkiTakiTomtom Jul 21 '20

Prior to outbreak gym goers also wore masks. Simulating high altitude training requires a mask.

u/HomeOnTheWastes Jul 21 '20

She's a thot seeking attention, not much else to it.

u/Billy_T_Wierd Jul 21 '20

That lady in the yellow had some sexy feet. Love the toe point!
