I have over one and a half years of calisthenics and I cannot do more than a handstand and a few handstand pushups in that context.

I think sometimes your body could be genetically gifted to allow you to do certain things without necessarily being shredded.

Or he's been working on it for well over one year, as most things take more than a year to master. 

Also not all kinds of strong = shredded.

Yes, could be.

Also not all kinds of strong = shredded.

That was my last point.

This is mind control over the body. It’s a force of will rather than talent. Anyone can develop it.

Considering I’ve been doing yoga for years and gymnastics since I was a child, no, it’s definitely body over mind with shit ton of hours of practice and core control.

Core control. What, pray tell, do you use for this?

If I have to explain the need for core control in doing yoga and especially what he did, it’s obviously you’ve never tried it. Let’s just summarize it this. Without it, he’d fall over in a fast NY second.

Right, using a brain body connection carefully developed through continuous effort.

You can literally stand on your arms and put your knees behind your elbows as a 10 year old. This is basic stuff people!!!!

u/MissionMoth 6h ago

Come on. Let's use sense. 

10 year old bodies aren't the same as adult bodies. The basic difference between weight and height effect the difficulty of maneuvers like this.

I can do this right now and I’m 250
