Very inspirational for the kids to see grown ups doing hard exercise and having fun doing it, they learn best by watching. The best exercise is what you personally find challenging and at the end of the day the exerciser can feel what is making them work. Not only is this guys strength impressive but his flexibility is great for someone his size, I reckon he must be able to do the splits, or if he can't he mustn't be far off doing them. I gotta go now and do some push-ups. Great video, I like the playground exercise.

I mean, he is a martial artist, powerlifter, or what? That shit is incredible. It's barely human! LOL! Well done! Well done!! Just curious–what does this guy do?

But that misses an important aspect of the video: not only is he displaying amazing strength, he also looks like he's playing having a lot of fun. I kind of laughed at some of those push-up variations (not because they weren't impressive, but because they were crazy creative), and those shrugs didn't strike me as being so much about exercising a lift as it was about "playing" with what looks to me like 675 lbs. He's clearly comfortable around that level of weight, even if what he's doing with it probably isn't a recommended training technique. Makes me think about how to bring a more positive, child-like attitude to my workouts. It almost wouldn’t be a thread without a comment from the form police.

It looks like NYC. No wonder so many great warriors come out of NYC with a work ethic like that. The home of Mike Tyson-need I say more? Man that's a bad cat. If he can run with stamina and strike well-he'd be a dynamite fighter especially, in the amateurs. Iv'e seen many amatuer tournaments won in the heavyweights by powerful cats like that. Motivational and with some smooth rhymes. Those rappers are good. Who are they? Inspiring. It looks like NYC. No wonder so many great warriors come out of NYC with a work ethic like that.

Not many people his size can move and perform the athletic feats that he is capable of performing with ease. He's obviously found methods that work for him. His physical displays show this without question. At the end of the day, that is what truly matters. The man in the video is clearly impressive.
