Huge props to putting ACTUALLY impossible things in the impossible category and not just things that require a superb amount of muscular strength and control.
Agreed. I also would've put Broye's thumb-stand push-ups from Uma Musume: Pretty Derby in the "impossible" category, because like, imagine doing handstand push-ups, but you support and balance your entire body weight on your thumbs.
Do it. Some of these moves are impossible to learn without it. And I don't mean the ones in the video, I mean things in general calisthenics will be so much harder without it.
Yeah, definitely need to start working on mine. Just watching this dude move around so effortlessly is making me reflect on what I've been doing in my workouts
Yep! In fact, the whole franchise has no impossible movements or exercises, since every bending scene was performed by real people so that the animators could be as realistic as possible with the fight scenes. Granted, these people are incredibly talented (very hard is called that for a reason) but they are still real.
@@jasonbell8515it isn’t completely realistic since mfs like jet can die with a boulder at him while aang can survive being scorched alive by ozai under a rock shell
Another aspect of Yujiro's training was that he was swimming against a strong current, too. 20 km/h for an hour against a strong current. It would be amazing power to achieve.
@@xellzor true, but its done with great taste. He still gets outsmarted and doesn't always gets his way which drags him back into the realm of "reality" in the minds of the viewers. The author simply knows how to write a ridiculously overpowered character without making it idiotic.
I'm one of those people that can barely do situps and my resounding record for normal pushups was around 20 when I was younger. But I have to admit, I was transfixed watching this to see what a honed human body is actually capable of. Props to those guys that narrowed that list of 'impossible' moves by demonstrating that they actually can be done with much practice and skill. I have to wonder if the animators themselves even thought a normal human could do some of those things.
Years? Brother do better. I did 500 push ups every day for 1 week and a half and achieved it. It doesn't have to take years, a couple months maximum. I recommend you to do 10, rest, do 10, rest, until the day it's over. At the end you will have achieved more than 500
@@leonelbaez1785 You're probably right, this was just the experience with my very specific training routine of a mix of planks, sit-ups and push-ups twice a week (my schedule didn't allow for much more). Nothing hardcore obviously, but with steady progress. With a more consistent and thorough routine like you described, it might be possible much faster.
EASY 0:20 Squats 1:09 sit ups MEDIUM 1:36 push ups HARD 2:08 clapping push ups 3:04 one arm push ups 3:33 rope climb VERY HARD 4:14 HSPU 4:47 weighted push ups 5:19 one arm pull ups 5:50 bent arm planche to L- sit 6:50 baki pose 7:51 crossed leg baki pose 8:45 wall split IMPOSSIBLE (idk if u need this but here u go) 9:32 one arm/ finger HPSU 10:01 sword practice 10:40 baki swim practice thats all P.S: instead of wasting ya time on replying to me, why dont u do some of these?
Baki stance isn't about much strength, it's about technique. Chris Heria did it cold without practice, while Calisthenics movement guy said he trained before for it
I have always been wondering about the one arm handstand pushup. In the book convict conditioning, the author claims he has witnessed it in proper form, but couldn't find a single person who could demonstrate it for the book. I think it is great that there are still basic feats of strength that have not yet been achieved by mankind.
I've seen someone do the one arm handstand while his feet was being balanced by a wall, so I think they are probably people out there who can do it without needing balance assistance.
One thing to consider is muscle strength to body mass ratio. This is obviously important for feats that involve moving your own body weight. Strength generally correlates to the length of the muscle, while mass is the cube. So a person half as tall will be half as strong but an eighth as heavy... a normal person has to lift his whole body with one arm (1:1), while a half-size person lifts a eighth that weight with a half-strength arm (1/2 : 1/8 = 4:1). Historically, dwarves often trained in acrobatics because they were able to easily perform feats that even the largest men could never achieve. If you want to find someone who can do this particular task, I recommend finding the strongest and smallest person possible.
@@HerculesBallsInc i fully agree with you. i have done poses similar to the baki cross leg posee, no problem, out of the blue with no training, as a ten year old but just two or three years later i just couldn't do it any more, and it's not just the extra weight i gained growing up, but also the loss in flexibility. i'd also like to add that balance shifts with size, the taller you are and the more weight there is to bear, the more of your muscle mass is going to be concentrated in your legs, especially if you have an active life style, which makes balancing anything where you're upside down much more difficult. for a one handed push up, you'd need to find someone who is short, lean and has disproportionately large hands.
@@sonzai5162 delts also look bigger than they are because they incircle the shoulder bone structure. In the case of lats, tho, they are actually very big in volume, not just wide in one direction. If you flex one of your lats them and touch it with the other arm you can actually feel how big they are
I like that you show that the exercise can be done using everyday objects and in common tasks. I love that you show correct form and cheating or "underfitting" - what the suboptimal exercise looks like. Seeing the mistakes is more important than the "correct" thing itself.
Amazing! Not only did you show a tier list of the moves but a progression so that we can begin practicing these. Awesome job man thank you. You got an instant subscribe outta me
I know right? This is the first time I've seen exercises shown with easier versions to work your way up to the full version. Back in my school days, all we were taught in gym class was simply to do fewer number of those exercises, never taught that we could do similar but simpler ones to eventually be able to properly do those forms.
@@subakiyuga1873 Quite clearly not. The planted arm also supports the legs on its elbow, so with good weight distribution it's entirely possible. Clearly you need to be strong, fit and supple, but that goes for all of these poses.
This guy's a total pro, he seems to know exactly what he's talking about, and watching his muscles move is absolutely crazy. I also love his voice, some gym or fitness dudes overdo the deep sort of 'I'm stronger and better than you' voice, but he just sounds chill and kind. I'm not a fitness junkie whatsoever, but this video was super fun and I love the style of this guy's content!
Thank you! Finally someone to properly tell you how to do Baki? Honestly there’s nothing on the internet with actual tips or exercises besides pseudo push-ups and pseudo leans and stuff like that. The only issue I have is pretty much releasing one arm and hold lol which is the hardest part.
I've had a rollercoaster relationship with fitness. I'm currently starting out all over again, and your videos are going to help me a lot. Thank you so much for including the easier options for those of us who don't have the chops to do the traditional exercise off the jump!
I love how he explains that lifting a 300 pounds sword with just an arm is impossible for humans even though we have not probably thought of it before and don't even we have a 300 pounds sword in our garage.
no, you have not tought of it before, lots of people had and all failed, and leverage proves its impossible, let alone picking up the sword, is impossible to hold it while standig up
@@matsim0 yeah, you need to keep you center of mass alined with the base you make with your feet, when holding something, it shifts away from that alignment, and it will make you tip over . To use a blade like that, you need not only super strength, but also a super dense and heavy body to maintain that center of mass close to you
I don't know about anime or manga but the fitness level these guys demonstrate is extraordinary and actually beautiful to watch. A book of their poses would be fabulous for use as models for sketching!.
Watching Alex doing that wall split made me think that he ate the Gomu Gomu no mi fruit :D And looks like real life Saitama also Bringing anime exercises into the real world,what a time to be alive :DD Great video
Brooooooo congratulations for the banger video. I never thought baki pose could be done for real. So far, I am at the medium level, practicing explosive push ups. Still cannot do the clap push up but you gave me super cool motivation to keep working.
Thanks for making this video. I came for the anime but thanks to the easy versions i actually started doing some exercise. I am obese since childhood and never ... considered doing any exercises while brushing my teeth or while waiting on the pc. Thanks a lot !
In Berserk's defence, there was a thing going on between the lines how Guts was beginning to become something supernatural himself after everything that happened to him/he was involving himself with and that's why he was able to use the Dragon Slayer the way he could.
The guys in this video have a really nice phisique and amazing streght and control, as well as top notch balance. It takes a lot of discipline to reach that level. Kudos to them!
When I was in highschool I could basically do a legless rope climb almost effortlessly just because I was a such a light framed person. It was literally easier for me to only use my arms. I didn't do it in that "L hang" position though.
As we get older closer to our 40s and 50s and beyond, men who weight lift at the gym should reconsider replacing it for calisthenics and core balance exercises. It will keep us looking good, with the additional benefit of strengthening our tendons and ligaments, improving our balance by strengthening not only the balance muscles, but it bolsters and increases the connectivity and health of our motor cortex. It also helps with maintaining flexibility and mobility as we age. mean while, extreme weight training deteriates joints and many people after 20 years of weight training heavily suffer from muscular skeletal issues because we always go hard on the gym as men. TRAIN FOR LONGEVITY, not FOR LOOKS. I would love to reach my 80's and still be able to exercise like if im 20 and that should be the long term goal for both women and men.
I’ve never actually seen anyone properly do Baki’s one hand pose. He’s completely and totally parallel, I’d say it’s borderline in possible to do properly.
I've been training my shoulders to lift heavy swords, and most the training they do in Anime tells little how you can do it. You can start with holding the bar bell behind you with and swinging it side to side like a pendulum, first with arms bent until you have proper control then go to straight arms. The next step is swing it from behind you in front of you with your pendulum swing . You can increase the weight as well but be careful and do small weights.
oh didn't know there's a comment similar to mean with heavy sword training. but I also added that if you want to swing something that's over 20 pounds just use the heavy bar like a staff. once you are used to it than use them as swords so we wont break or lose a body part. like shoulders or back. I swing my 24 pound fantasy sword like a katana. I can only do 50 swings without stopping and haven't beat the record yet. XD I even got the odin training hammer just to get used to the sword better.
I'm not sure why this is never talked about but I'll say it in case it helps some people. When it comes to push-ups there's more that comes into play than just body weight as your resistance, as the force you're pushing against is centered on your feet as the fulcrum push-ups get exponentially more difficult the taller you are. So for you kings and queens that are vertically gifted make sure you don't overdo it by forcing yourself to do full push-ups if you're just starting your workout journey, you could end up hurting yourself or even just demotivating yourself by how difficult they are. It's okay and probably better for you to start off with knee push-ups or from an elevated position like a chair, or even both. The goal isn't to hurt yourself, and small improvements are better than spending multiple days of down time because you pulled a muscle.
@@channeldoesnotexist I see how my wording could be misinterpreted. I meant that as your feet are the fulcrum point of the action of a push-up, so the force exerted is from your arms, but the lever point being further away makes the action require more force to complete, not that the force is applied to the feet. Also it is an exponential growth of force required when height + weight are increased, if you only increase one then it would be linear, but seeing as taller people almost always weigh more it wouldn't make sense to think that way for most people.
The wall split is one of the easier exercises IMO, it's definitely possible with 1-2 years of flexibility training, whereas one arm pull-ups (and the other exercises in Very Hard category) require A LOT of strength that sometimes people just cannot achieve, even with training. Would move it to hard or medium.
Yeah, I'm never doing situps again after learning how bad they are for the spine. And pushups, don't you mean Anime God Makers?! Any Jax Blade fans here? 😂
