I've seen this multiple times already, but I just noticed whatever the dude on the right is doing.

Naw, that's an RFK Jr exclusive.

Guy doing pushup to the left is lifting his body in two steps as well.

If you don't wait until the second half to engage your core, then how are you supposed to strengthen your spinal discs?

CrossFit teaches you the correct way to perform an incorrect pull-up.

Is that what mr. cirrhosis is trying to do? I thought it was a failed L-sit pull up that he had to kick out to get his nose to clear the bar

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Pete is just doing an ugly pull-up. The video refers to the guy to his right.

Trying to wreck his shoulders.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

To be fair, pull-ups got waaaaaay harder for me when I was bigger like that.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Setting aside the man can't pull-up for shit, look at those skinny little chicken legs

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Legs arent on camera so he doesn't exercise them

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Shouldn't that make chin ups easier?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He managed to kiss the bar by flailing around like a dying fish. Normally, someone who does that shouldn’t be embarrassed, but Hegseth definitely should. What a joke.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He shouldn't be embarrassed about trying and failing to do a pull up. He should be embarrassed about all the posturing bullshit he does to try to convince everyone he's a tough guy.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If he were actually a tough guy, he’d be fine, but he’s obviously such a giant snowflake.

Which is also fine, if he wanted to he, like, a therapist or children's literacy activist or something.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Like a dying fish, he should be thrown back in the middle of the ocean.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is no one else going to mention his underhand grip? All of that to do an underhand "kipping" pull up?

WTF

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Kipping chin up, in this case.

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm probably 50 lbs heavier than him and can do hollow hold pullups and one arm hangs. I also like tofu and cry during sad movies.

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It must be because you're not a beardo. Unless...

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Im like 20kgs(45lbs) heavier than him and fit most of the things you described tho i dont like tofu, but i do like starbucks and decaf so i think i make up for it.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Kipping always looks bad to me. I appreciate a slower, more deliberate and less erratic movement.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago

That's not a kipping, lol. There are no air squats in kipping.

[–] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Well yea, but that's the difference between trying to actually exercise a discreet muscle group and trying to look like you can do the exercise.

Tough guys are always weak little b******.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It’s ok, you can curse on here.

I have problems in my hands. Do a lot of voice transcriptions. It automatically sanitizes bad words. Not worth fixing.

He was probably tols push-ups from your knees are just as effective also for a very good boy.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I did a better pull up than that at the kids playground the other day.

I can't stop laughing at this. It's obviously a staged video, and everyone in the background is also failing at their chosen exercises, everyone!

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I didn't realize pullups involved so much hip movement. He's doing a hip thrust while the guy beside him is doing the full worm.

It's like getting a running start to do a curl.

Way better to use one of those assisted pullup machines to work up to one with proper form because this isn't likely building much muscle and is probably way more likely to cause an injury.
