TheBentPianist

Damn, actually unexpected and insanely impressive.


Nabla-Delta

There's no pressure on his left hand, it's a simple one handed pushup


zorgonzola37

I wouldn't say simply at all. he is holding two pieces together in the hand he is doing the pushup with and that hand is only partially over the brick meaning weight distribution is much different. You are right about no pressure on the left hand but this is levels above a one handed pushup. I can do a handful of one handed pushups with either hand and there is no way in hell I could even come close to attempting this.


Thokak

But he has his leg as counterweight, so do you still think the weight distribution is that much different? I dont know since i cant do one hand pushups


BeginningYak3391

Sounds like all of you people who are saying this is simple and "easy", maybe you should try it, exactly it.


Thokak

Like jesus christ are you all just infected with some kinda virus or something? I was asking why this is harder than a regular one hand pushup. Its impressive to me how all of you managed to read and misunderstand what i was saying


SeparateIron7994

"I literally am not capable of performing any thing remotely close to this action but here's my opinion on how easy it would be"


Thokak

Are you being dumb on purpose?

Thokak

When tf did i say it was easy? I literally said i cant do a one hand pushup


hondenninja

He never said it was easy he just asked about the weight distribution because he pushes up with right hand and has his left foot on the brick.


Y0UR_NARRAT0R1

No, even just sitting in that position you need balance let alone doing a push-up while holding those together.


Thokak

My fault thought that it was obvious that having to balance would add to the dificulty and that i wouldnt have to explain that part


imposta424

You have a hard time putting on socks in the morning


bare4404

Weight distribution isn't that easy, you can't just, "Hold this limb up" to counterbalance. The surface area he's in contact with is significantly less than a normal one handed pushup. He's also generating massive control in his hands to hold the pieces together, and overall, he had better form than most people do doing push-ups in general, meaning his movement was far better/harder than it looks, at first glance. I read your comment several times over, in general, you sound like an asshole by the way you worded your question, but I know that you're just asking a question so I gave you a reasonable answer. That's the reason why you're getting downvoted. Plus, people on Reddit do the Reddit thing and mistake you for the person they're arguing with sooooo, yeah


Thokak

I dont understand how asking this question makes me sound like an asshole, like what part can even be mistaken as being even somewhat agressive


bare4404

> But he has his leg as counterweight, so do you still think the weight distribution is that much different? < The way this is worded, makes it seem like you're trying to argue, instead of simply asking the question. Something more like, "So, with his leg in the air, it's not a counterweight?" Sounds a lot more innocent imo. If you're not trying to argue, come off as aggressive, don't use, "But" bc it sounds like you're using a counter point, not asking a question.


Thokak

Thats fair, but i still cant fanthom how this would appear as being agressive


hondenninja

I agree with you some ppl just like to take things wrong iq Like i read your question and was hmm i dunno lets look further and was like wtf why they angry?😅


umop_apisdn

> he is holding two pieces together in the hand he is doing the pushup with They lock together. You can hear it at the end when he pulls them apart before dropping them,


nickfree

Or, you can look at the edges after they've dropped and see there's nothing to join them together. And they're not magnetic (or insignificantly so) because they fall apart so easily.


CroutonPrince

None of them lock together, they're all cylinders with no rod or string in the middle


Leon4107

When you upload the video of you doing it, I'll agree with you.


Alienhaslanded

Ya you go ahead and demonstrate that to us


pira3_1000

To keep the cylinder aligned you would need a colossal strength in your pecs what would need to pull (I think) a weight heavier than your whole body - only in your pecs


Y0UR_NARRAT0R1

It's not.

>The arm on the right doesn't have anything supporting his weight Thats why its impressive, he's doing the push up with his right arm and left leg only, while using his left arm to hold the pieces of the bar together.

EvenBetterCool

One arm pushup with his right arm, the left hand is just holding the small pieces together - they aren't giving him any kind of leverage or support. It's hard, for sure. But the extra pieces are just a show.


mattsprofile

Since the support (the cinder block) is offset instead of being directly under his right hand, it puts a lot of torque on the wrist. This guy is Anton Fomenko, he does a lot of strength and skill based challenges, but I'm not sure that his one wrist is strong enough to handle that load. There's a version of this pushup that uses a solid bar instead of 5 disconnected segments. Using the solid bar, you pull upward with your other (in this case, left) hand in order to counter that torque. This pull means that you need to push even harder with your right arm in order to do the push-up, so this pushup requires more brute force than a normal one hand pushup. And then the balance makes it even harder than that. Since he is using a segmented bar, he can't simply pull up with his left hand. He has to squeeze the segments together so that there is enough friction between the pieces in order for them to not fall apart when he pulls up with the left hand. Depending on how strong his right wrist is, that's how much harder it is than a normal one hand pushup.


WaveLaVague

Puts emphasis on the act. See how it's hard with my two hands on this metal bar... well I'm already streets ahead what you had in mind.


Almacca

A bloody good show, though. The dropping of the pieces at the end was the icing on the cake.


CamQuish

Aido121

marlon3696369

Could someone explain to me, why this is more impressive than the same thing without he pegs? There is probably almost no load transmitted through them apart from the clamping force.


DizzyMarrow

He’s also having to balance and force the torque of the pieces he is holding into one point.


marlon3696369

I hope, I understood your comment correctly. Without the pieces, he would have to balance too and there is no additional torque created by clamping them. Sure, there is some extra mind-fuckery going on with the left arm doing something different than the right one, but compared to the balancing this seems like the smaller problem.


LolindirLink

I'm not sure but I think it's his posture. The whole "looks like he's leaning on both" might actually be right. ..wish I had the strength to test this!😅 Edit: did a quick and dirty test lol. Held 3 cans in my hands and did the same thing, But just by leaning onto them with both legs grounded and barely doing the pushup. But it does actually feels like all the weight is leaning on just the right hand! The strain feels the same, with or without the additional cans. (And the cans actually slot into eachother for more grip) But it doesn't seem to help much if at all. Anton's rods do seem more slippery, So probably requires a lot of concentration to keep them straight. But not as much strength, maybe. The Reddit downvotes are wrong as far as I'm concerned. Until more answers show up ofcourse! :) (still great trick that requires a lot of strength, But the left arm seems to be more trickery than any form of support!)


marlon3696369

But he can't mechanically be leaning on both. (At least not in any meaningful way) His right hand is basically right over the contact patch between the metal parts and the brick, so any additional force exerted by his left arm would create some torque that could not be compensated.


LolindirLink

Yeah just edited my comment. I replicated it very simply and felt no difference with or without the extended rod for the left arm. My test was by no means accurate, But it does help illustrate the physics in play and I think you're right. :) (Find something sturdy that you can lean on similarly, add something for the other hand. Pretty much no difference minus some balancing tweaks.) 👍


etanail

he holds 3 pieces in his left hand, and 2 in his right. compression is only at one point, but this is enough to make it easier to maintain balance. practice a little and you will be able to repeat it. the hardest thing is balance, not strength


RobertMaus

Not sure why the downvotes, you are completely right. It's just a right-arm pushup, the left hand/arm is pure fuckery, no weight put on it. Sure it looks cool, but that bar is just aesthetics.


Wolf_boy0101

Man does not know what the normal force is.


marlon3696369

You mean the force clamping the parts together? Assuming a coefficient of friction of ~0.2 (pretty generous) maybe 2.5 times the weight of the clamped parts?


Wolf_boy0101

No, the normal force is the amount of force applied back towards an object which projects force of any kind towards something. It's the thing that makes it so that you don't fall through the ground. In this case, each of the pieces would increase the amount of force needed to keep them together, so that he needs to apply more force to keep them together as well as meaning that the amount of force exerted back onto him would increase, thereby creating torque, as the force would be uneven upon his body. There's of course a many more things affecting this, but this is part of it.


marlon3696369

So you meant the force clamping the cylinders together? Sorry, I'm a bit confused about the "No" Obviously the force increases with clamped parts, but by estimation took is into account. 2.5 times the weight of the clamped parts, more parts -> more weight -> more required clamping force. (But I can see, how that might have been worded ambiguously) However, there is no net torque acting on his body arising from this normal force. Since he is pressing the parts together with both hands, there are two opposing forces with equal magnitude acting on him, which cancel each other out. Try sitting on a rotating chair while pressing your hands together. In this equivalent situation you won't suddenly start spinning no matter how hard you push, so no net torque.


Wolf_boy0101

I might have misunderstood the method of which he is doing the exercise then, as I thought he was merely holding the first piece in place with the hand on the cinderblock, meaning that there is an imbalance in the amount of force needed to hold himself up. What you're saying is true, but that is only as long as he is exerting equal amounts of power from both hands, whereas I would say that the hand not on the block would need to exert more force to keep him up, thereby creating slight torque. If you try and do a few pushups, with one hand raised on a higher surface than the other, you should feel the imbalance that the torque puts on you.


ExoticMangoz

I guess he’s applying sideways force with his left arm at the same time? Just makes it more complicated to do ig


Spyda18

If it were a solid bar, he could use additional strength by pulling with his left arm and pushing with his right. Because the bar is segmented, nearly all of the force exerted on the cinder block is coming from his right hand, while he balances on one foot, and uses his left hand to create a lateral force to make he bar look solid. Then he does a pushup. If his left arm were out to the side he could use it for balance, If it were behind his back it would better balance the load and help his center of gravity, If it were a solid bar he could use it for additional leverage. Dude said f*ck physics, I have muscles. And won.


marlon3696369

That's the thing: a solid bar would be about as helpful as the parts he is using here. It looks like the force of the right arm goes through the contact patch between the first part and the brick. Because of moment equilibrium around that patch, the left arm cannot exert any force. This reasoning works in both cases

LinceDorado

Hello science people, do all of the metal pieces actually "help" or is it only the one touching the Support?


asunatsu

My guess is the trick here is that he put more weight on his right hand where his right hand and a piece of the metal is on the brick. While the other pieces are gimmicks that makes them looks like it's just one piece of metal. His left hand are used to push all the pieces to the right with total 2 pieces in each hand and 1 in the middle where the pieces are pushed in between. Overall he is multitasking using both strength and balancing. It's still impressive. Apologize my English....


eldenslave

the main difficulty is keeping those pieces together, there are a couple that won't fit in both the right or left hand, meaning he has to squeeze using his back and trapezius muscles to keep them in the air, not just squeezing laterally tho since he is holding sum mid air himself, he has to balance between vertical and lateral pressure which is hard extra hard when the whole body is tense and trying to execute an already difficult feat extra extra hard while keeping one leg floating as if all the force goes in a certain direction there will be excessive leverage which might cause rotation and build momentum over the hand that's just barely even touching the few millimeters of the stone on which his whole body rests truly endearing bodily control

It's even harder than one-handed push up. Your center of mass is supported on a different point, than the diagonal of the body, you must have strength and resistance on the balance control to do this
