Saint Doug Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 I would be more impressed if he wasn’t using the elastic band. Looks like it is providing some amount of energy to his upwards motion. 2 9 1 1
Governor Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 I can do those pretty easily but that’s because I weigh 145 pounds. 1
Victory Formation Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Those are very very dangerous. I do regular push-ups quite often and they’re an underrated exercise, especially for beginners or if you don’t have many weights around. NAVY SEALS do them, good enough for me, but the way he is doing them is very very dangerous. On 3/27/2021 at 11:13 PM, Saint Doug said: I would be more impressed if he wasn’t using the elastic band.

Expand It’s very easy to pull something. I’m surprised they let him do it at all. His feet aren’t stable and the bar isn’t stable. There really isn’t any advantage doing that way either. A gymnast would probably yell at him.
Bob Chandler's Hands Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Josh Norman can attest to Henry's upper body strength and balance. 2

machine gun kelly Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 About 20 years ago, no problem. Now, not so much, but good motivation. Thanks.

Expand No doubt that while going down there’s instability, especially while going down, which takes energy on Henry’s part to counteract. But he’s getting assistance going upwards. You can see the band contracting during his upstroke. That’s giving him assistance. This is high school physics. In fact, I bet he’s expending more energy down down than up, despite the show chains.

Expand He’s spending more energy stabilizing his body that pushing upwards, which is likely the easiest part of the exercise. Your body does unstable things while trying to stabilize. I’m sure his agent called him after this post.
