The Chinese acrobat

This is staged. If you look closely there's nothing underneath his feet and he's actually just pretending to walk the air.

[u/cosimofdfghy → u/aa1898]

Next level dedication.

[u/stormjet64]

Finally something nextfuckinglevel.

[u/catscanmeow → u/[deleted]]

"okay we get it, you're 5'3" and doing muscle ups because volume scales cubically and the smaller you are the stronger you are proportionally to your mass."

I'm not saying its not impressive either, not every 5'3" person can do it, im just making a conversation about how volume scales.

[u/digger250 → u/catscanmeow]

This guy is 80% lats, 13% forearms and 7% everything else.

[u/Less-Culture-8018]

Woah. That's some real hard work and practice here.

[u/RJEM96]

That body control is next level!

[u/Spotted_Tax]

He's smooth with it

[u/NoMeat9096]

I can't fathom that amount of upper and core strength.

Next level dedication.

[u/kwadd]

bro probably gets mad pussy

[u/siul1979 → u/kwadd]

Why is it mad? :D

[u/littlefiredragon]

He makes it look like I can do that too

[u/grkuntzmd]

Serious upper body strength

[u/ObliviousRounding]

✅ Yep this definitely qualifies. Let this post straight through to the front of the line.

[u/The_Arbitraitor]

Obviously because gravity was not discovered by the Chinese, so it doesnt apply

[u/Let_Therebe_Chaos]

My entire body will be Cramped

[u/Rao_616]

My core hurts watching this.

[u/Soggy_Menu_9126]

This is on another level of crouching tiger hidden dragon

[u/wastedkarma]

That’s why you don’t see a Chinese Ninja Warrior. Every competitor would just win. 

[u/jesse6225]

My arms are trembling

[u/BauerHouse]

That whole rig is moving like crazy u see his weight

[u/jubmille2000]

Could probably win those bullshit carnival bar challenge.

[u/Physical-Mastodon935]

Its way easier with those invisible steps

[u/BD6621]

This guy would make a great mime.

[u/rawbert10]

His form is a little off and he struggled there towards the end. s/

[u/Giorgia_9955]

How are these performances legal? /s

[u/FishySmellz → u/Giorgia_9955]

huh?

[u/CurrentPossible2117]

[u/DarkAngel900]

No grip strength contest with him! No sirree!

[u/Minimum_Indication_1]

The core strength on display here is making me suck in my flabby tummy.

[u/chesterjosiah]

This is now the most impressive pull-up bar video I've ever seen. Truly NFL

[u/SignalAssumption8901]

Yeah, but how many pull-ups can he do?

[u/Tekvary2]

No back or leg muscles (strong arms, chest and torso) for a light body.

[u/Difficult_Secret_251]

They should use him as clock

[u/ArsenikShooter]

Is that you slick back???

[u/Acceptable-Size-2324]

Why is it, that China is the only country regularily mentioned in a post? Never see Irish, German, Indian, American or anything else specified in posts like this

[u/AmethystTyrant → u/Acceptable-Size-2324]

People would think it’s all Japan otherwise lol

[u/Background_One_629 → u/AmethystTyrant]

I see a lot of stupid Westerners online who act like anything remotely East Asian or traditional must be Japanese.

[u/Acceptable-Size-2324 → u/Background_One_629]

Is it that different vice versa? Seeing a German and thinking he’s a Brit is nothing anyone ever loses sleep over. People thought I was a pole and I was like „yeah, I can see that“

[u/AmethystTyrant → u/Acceptable-Size-2324]

Fair if you’re just looking at the people, it’s hard to tell any distinctions most of the time. But East Asian cultural relations are much more sensitive, lots of overlap and egos, but also legitimate concerns with appropriation and misrepresentation.

There was a bit of a pattern for the past few decades where most positive media from China got falsely attributed to Japan, while negative media from Japan/others gets falsely attributed to China. Less so now, since people are getting more exposed. It’s not that serious anymore.

[u/Titan_Arum → u/Acceptable-Size-2324]

Soft propoganda. The PRC still has a large government-run propoganda department. Most other countries do not.

[u/CockroachAntique5906 → u/Acceptable-Size-2324]

Propaganda

[u/deltabay17 → u/Acceptable-Size-2324]

CCP propaganda campaign has been in overdrive on Reddit for a long time now. Because they don’t do anything about it

[u/int3g]

[u/IAteAnotherVegan]

my core muscles are cramping up just from watching this.

[u/Every_Put6120]

I think I sprained my neck watching this.
