Can You Escape The Pole Trap In Real Life? 

This was excellent to see! I feel like you and Jon have discovered a future Ninja obstacle!

You should do the scene from breaking bad where Jesse escapes the pit

it was season 5 episode 15 at minute 30

@@termatater007 found it!) thank you!) now we. Need to go to Albuquerque 😅 Can’t find dimensions for the cage🤘🥲

@@AntonFomenko Dont forget to put on the Weird Al Yankovic song when going to Albuquerque ... to be prepared for "eventualities".

😂😂😂

I was thinking the same thing

@@dayna139 didn’t ask

@@Miguel_anitez no one gives a shit if you didn’t ask, the world doesn’t revolve around you.

@@Miguel_anitez what the guy above me said

BIG FAX.

Yeah, oiling up the pole usually helps.

@@ImaginaryMdA 😏

@@ShovelChef 😏

Step 1: cover the pole in oil

1 human or something like 0.00000000001% is still less than 1% :)

Who knows how strong people might be in the future? This might be what little kids do for fun in the year 3000.

0 is also less than 1%

actually the rest are already doing it unintentionally;)

perhaps they live in mexico city now lol

if you get chained to poles all day i think you should all the police or hire bodyguards

tied to poles all day huh 😈😈😈😈

freaky are we?

@@hahaha-zh1vv More like kinky.

Thank you for all support and patience! Love you brother 🤘🔥

Next time try tacky. Strongmen use tacky for lifting atlas stones.

Very impressive both of you. Another item that works really well for grip is Tincture of Benzoin (AKA Friar's Balsam). It's a tree resin (sap) emulsified in alcohol, so sweat tends to make it more sticky. It's often used to make bandages last longer as it improves their adhesion, but as a note it's a great anti-septic; so it burns like crazy on any open cuts.

@@AntonFomenko Pin this...

Next time perhaps use some tape that has some abrasiveness to it (grip tape) rather than a duct tape. It would more naturally reflect the texture of the wood while still providing safety from splinters. It would assist with avoiding the slipperiness of the duct tape.

Thats a seriously good TV show idea

Hell yea! I think this would be a hit.

I support this idea. 💪💯

No cap, i would watch every series of it

Yes!!! I am *here* for that!

and construction foam

And Cameras

And 2 shirtless sweaty muscular men

Officer i can explain

@@jones6613 😂

agree. and the red playground pole that was used seems more similar in diameter to the movie pole. i think the smaller diameter helps because you can get your shoulder (bone?) to help cup around and give you more pressure/leverage against the pole. the wider pole flattens you out more and makes it more difficult to "grab/grasp" the pole. but great job guys

A decade of gymnastics, American football, always being fit, having the best trainers, stunt people and being one of the hardest worker of his generation, might have gave old’ mate Tom cruise an edge on You.

@@ddtalks2821 yeah from my limited experience with chin ups, pull-ups and dragonflag holds, usually the thinner the bar, the easier it is to complete the motion. I think like you said, it's related to your grip strength and the amount of pole you can grasp or wrap around allows a more efficient conversion of energy transfer into the movement.

It was hollow though, so the lip at the top would hurt to lay on, so what they did in the video to get out at the end may not be the best method

@@DoubleDOwnage you need a front lever and one arm pull up and it will make easier

Right?

Tom also had editing, he had the benefit of video cuts so didn't have to do the whole climb continously

Yeah at the very least it's 2 cuts, one where he started from the bottom to 80% and then the rest , 20 in 2 shrugs

Don’t forget about the paddung im sure was beneath Tom the entire time. These guys fall they get to eat dirt; Tom falls he falls on a cushion like cloud.

Would have been much easier with thin pole like the one in the park

exactly this. if you watch the scene carefully, Tom is pushing the pole into his shoulder and almost tucking it besides his neck on one side. That's bound to be a lot easier!! not to mention the duct tape being slippery.

My thoughts exactly

It was actually smaller the one the video is centered around and they wanted a bigger pole

Yeah, an actual test would use the same material and size. This is just a weird sideways way of testing something similar...

*not a direct quote

Exactly why it got a thumbs down and now I'm done watching less than 30 seconds in...

I'm also having a hard time explaining this to my dad, lol

”Are they fucking?!" "No, but I like what you thinking"

On a pole. You forgot the pole. 😂

...One man stating that he has tried "naked wood" 😂

Ahah!🤘 she is wise!

Always suspected Toms pole was smooth..some say it's why he can't keep a girl

lmao 🤣

What does poly foam feel like?

@@lynneji2158 At first? Really super sticky thick glue. But once it reacts to the moisture in the air / you sweat? Congrats, you now have an exoskeleton.

Indeed, it's a real bitch to get off. I had to soak my hands in water for a while and then shave it off with a stone, one time. Was weirdly satisfying though!

борода Would acetone break it down?

@@adamwickes6189 Yeah probably! My uncle also said to try using Vodka lol.

more like byebye head

Bye bye entire upper body

bye bye life

Bye bye reality

The undertakers signature move the ‘tombstone’ comes to mind

Jon did it basically like that :D

Yeah, they really were doing it on hard mode.

@Designer how do you know that he did for real ? His fans claim it. But what do you expect from buffoons who worship actors and in this case belittle the actual skilled stuntmen-actors like Jackie Chan. Have you thought that if he really did that, there would be a behind the scenes footage of that. Because this thing is so hard.

@@SeldomPooper I mean, Tom Cruise is pretty well known for doing many of his own stunts. Pretty rare a stuntman steps in for him.

@@SeldomPooper Oh I watched a making of/behind the scenes of the film and they went through all the bits that he did himself. :) This was one of them. It's been a while since I watched it so I'd have to dig to find it, but lemme have a look. :D

Me too!!!😂

Does that make it harder or easier?

@@lynneji2158 well, judging by the video...harder

Or maybe strongmen should be using Loctite...! I've heard some strongmen complain that tacky still doesn't work great if you're really sweaty.

Yeah Loctite creates a plasticy layer to stop the sweating though. But tacky could be useful, there's many kinds some more sticky than others.

Yeah i thought hockey tape but you'd have no skin left by the end haha

I think the bare wood would have been even worse than the duck tape--still slippery, but with splinters and nails to boot. Perhaps wrapping the pole with grip foam would have been a better option.

Gaffers tape

oh shit, i’m currently losing weight so that i don’t sweat like a fucking fish every time I move. You’re telling me that won’t work?

@@fredhasopinions sadly no. Or, at least, not in the magnitude I wanted.

@@DonyBit I respectfully disagree. When I was overweight i'd sweat buckets while walking at a decent pace but after I lost weight (around 42 pounds) I could run for an extended period without sweating and when I did sweat my body would cool down a lot faster and stop sweating. A lot of it has to do with genetics obviously, but how something works for you doesn't necessarily mean it works the same for others.

@@AddictedGamerFIFA Well, you could say, in my case, that the entire problem has to do with genetic. Obviously overweight cause extra sweat. You keep much more heat inside and for much longer. I think it's no news so I assumed it would have been taken for granted, without further specification, that I was talking just for my case. In fact, after loosing 35kg (yeah, I'm Italian so here it is, beloved metric system), obviously I sweat less and I cool down much quicker, but still, after a few steps or if I'm in a slightly warmer environment than I'm used to, my forehead starts to sweat. Just there. Clearly it isn't sweat caused by physical effort, and when it is, it's still above average. I mean, that's what "sweaty guy" mean, right? Anyway, it could be that I wasn't clear enough, but I hope explained myself better this time and thank you for being so polite :) Have a good day Edit: I just read the answer from the first guy and yeah, you're right. I just totally misunderstood the question, in fact in the answer to him I was still talking about myself. Im dumb, mea culpa.

What actually helps is cardio. Scientifically proven. Basically humans have 2 and a half kinds of sweat, you have hormonal sweat which is the smelly armpit, crotch and feet sweat, and cooling sweat which is the watery salty sweat like a pig kind. (Which… pigs don’t actually sweat, that’s why they wallow to keep cool.) Apocrine is the hormonal and oily kind, and if it smells bad, that’s because of bacteria… not you. It shouldn’t really smell like much of anything. Eccrine sweat is the cooling kind and is odorless, again it only smells if bacteria is involved. (The half I mentioned is stress sweating which is usually a blend of both but releases much more water with no salts and has oils from Apocrine sweat and beads up and looks like that stressful sickly sweat.) Okay, so essentially Eccrine sweat is meant to cool your body down through evaporation, it works by having your body send all of the hot blood to the skin surface, hence why you feel flushed and kinda miserable, and then creates sweat to evaporate the heat away. This is a healthy normal form of sweating. But for overweight or out of shape people, having high blood pressure causes the skin to flush and triggers the sweat response, this can also be triggered by eating hard to digest foods because it takes water and warm blood to digest food which raises the blood pressure a bit, hence meat sweats. So basically, you can now reverse engineer this… if blood pressure and certain neurological systems cause sweating, then you can reduce excessive sweating by building some cardio, cutting back on coffee and alcohol and especially cigarettes and focus on easier to digest foods. But, excessive sweating can also be signs of underlying conditions like heart problems or diabetes, so if you sweat excessively to an extreme, you might want to see a doctor. Otherwise… you might just run hot because of poor health and cardio. For instance, at a normal resting body temperature, if you touch something room temp like a window, does it immediately cause a steamy hand print? Does normal activity make your face and chest look red and flushed? If so, you definitely need more cardio and better diet. My roommate had this issue where he was always just burning hot, dripping sweat everywhere… it was nasty. When he quit smoking and started jogging it improved massively. Good luck, and just remember that sweating is normal and healthy and not to get self conscious about it, but if it seems genuinely abnormal just talk to a doctor about it. Stay healthy, be good peoples, and always strive to be better than yesterday!

I think hands up have some benefits: 1. It’s easier to give body punches 2. After some time hands are getting numb. You don’t feel them and becoming hopeless.

^ Anton scares me sometimes 👀

@Matrick true lol

I was thinking that same

😂😂😂

I see what you did there and you're probably right.

I think its more than 1 lol- but a hell of a lot less than 1% yeah! Maybe 1 in 50 million would ever have a chance to use that skill in their life if they had it.

Yep!)

@@AntonFomenko haha!)

Thx for the compliment. I'm Jonathan.

hell yeah you know Pete is smashing this one

Thank you sir!!

Also tip for grip: football gloves have silicone interiors and they give you grip like superglue

Thank You 🤘😊

😉

Glad to hear you keep your face 💪😅

We use that technique to rest!😅 check out video in the description. We made video about that. 🤘🙂

That auto correct on Magnus' last name is amazing :)

@@fredrikhult2950 lol, it wasn't autocorrrect. Meatball is how Anton says it.

@@jpotter14 oh I didn't know. That's funny :)

Tom really did the stunt with zero cgi nor stuntmen for this stunt.

@@The_Kirk_Lazarus Damn, really? Is that said anywhere or something, as while I'm not calling you a liar, this is a feat and a half.

@@qwormuli77 The man is driven to the point of obsession in performing his own stunts. He had to change insurance companies because one of them wouldn't insure him if he did a certain stunt in one of the MI films. He loves to learn and challenge himself in everything he does.
