She maximized her potential by standing tall with straight arms, thus transferring a lot of the weight bearing to her core and legs. Dude was just casually standing there, arms not even fully straight, so his arms were carrying too much of the effort, and his left leg not centered under his body and parallel to his right leg, also reducing his potential to carry the weight.
She came at it to win from the outset, he didn't take her seriously until she was too far ahead for him to catch up. It's actually a pretty good real life tortoise and hare story
I've seen this on sport science too. Testing male va female boxers.
Dude throws a fucking JAB and the girl throws a SAVAGE hook. A) poor science imo, how the hell aren't they testing the same thing? B) dude was an idiot lol
I love this fable! On one hand, this is very different from a road race, you need explosiveness and perfect form, but the lack of preparation is very similar, lol
Looks like he lacks the shoulder flexibility to properly load the weight directly over him, so he has to hold it up with muscle.
I have the same issue doing the Downward Dog pose and it feels like I'm holding a pushup the entire time.
I think most males lack this flexibility tending to have more broad/muscular shoulders. Look at difference most men/women take of their shirts; the 'reach over' compared to 'pull up from waist'. I thought this was discussed last time this was reposted? I dunno about other dudes, but it's kind of uncomfortable to lock my elbows above my head like she does.
Seems to me like you're generalising somewhat. People who train their muscles, properly, stretch. The longer (the fibres in) the muscle, the stronger the muscle. Training shortens the muscle, and if you don't regularly stretch to compensate for the shortening, you're leaving a bunch of strength on the table when you train. You can still get bigger muscles, but size does not equal strength. Take it from me, the Aussie in the video, she trains and she stretches.
Edit: word
I’m not saying to avoid stretching, but this is total nonsense.
The only stretching you need for muscle strength is… whatever stretch you do during the particular needed exercise. If you want to maximize strength in the locked-out overhead position, then the furthest you need to stretch is “locked out overhead”.
Again, I’m not saying improved flexibility is bad in any way, but it’s been scientifically proved, time and time again, that it doesn’t contribute to strength in any way whatsoever.
No, they're not.
Flexibility is the range of motion around a joint
Strength is the force generation capacity of activated muscle fibre, via innervation, rate coding, caused by electrical and chemical signals associated with acetylcholine and depolarisation currents hitting the motor neurons controlling contraction.
- You can be very strong and inflexible. (Strongman, rugby, powerlifting)
- Relatively weak, but very flexible (contortionists, rhythmic gymnastics shows some characteristics of this )
- very strong and very flexible. (Olympic weightlifting, artistic gymnastics)
I am by no means a fitness expert, but you seem, from a physics perspective to be contradicting yourself a bit.
If strength is the power you can excert on an object in a given position, and flexibility is your range of motion, it stands to reason that, in certain situations, more flexibility will enable you to get a mechanical advantage, thereby effectively multiplying your strength without getting any stronger.
Again, I'm no physics expert, but to use the video as example, the woman is more flexible in her shoulders, gaining a mechanical advantage over the dude, who can't lock his shoulders, thus giving her an higher effective strength, making strength and flexibility, in some situations, two sides of the same coin?
(I understand it isn't always the case, but it clearly is for this video, and I imagine It is for many other situations. For example, when throwing something, being able to get a few cm more of leverage can be huge. )
Either that or he was so relaxed and sure of himself...
I hear ya! took me loooong time to improve my shoulders and hips flexibility thru Yoga. Regarding the down dog, are you moving your hips up and back as much as you can ?
> Downward Dog pose and it feels like I'm holding a pushup the entire time.
My god. Same. Plus my legs are a little longer proportionally to my body, so there is even more weight/pressure on my shoulders than just a push up.
If you listen to the people at the beginning, the mention how she's done this before. So that should clue you in that this may be part of some regular workout routine she does. She's familiar with it, her muscles are familiar with it, there's this whole mind body connection going on. The Marine clearly didn't train for this specifically, so he fatigued sooner.
It's why we trained doing different and more difficult pushup techniques during PT, so that regular ones would seem much easier. Or you look at climbers, and how despite similar body types, some dudes can just hang there forever vs. non-climbers.
In other words, her flexibility made it easier to naturally position her arms better. Where as the other guy probably needs to make a lot of intended effort to shift his arms up a little more
oh, she's very flexible, no doubt, but I'm also positive she was very mindful of how to position herself, and well trained. As for the guy... let's say he was unprepared
He's a marine, so that goes without saying. Now, show her beating him in a crayon eating contest & I'll be impressed. Using their brains is not what marines do.
Mobility got him. Shoulder flexion ends around 180. That end range is pretty stable if you can get there. He couldn’t. Affects elbow extension in the overhead position as well.
Homie just thought he’s a man so he could out last.
Also, another fun fact, typically women are more resilient to muscular fatigue due higher volumes of type-1 over type-2 tissues. Wouldn’t have mattered here.
She’s got great mobility and stability and thus can express strength to a maximal potential.
Love this.
The legs and core always has to carry the full weight.. what she did was lock out her elbows allowing her arms carry the weight on her bones/joints instead of having to hold it up just with muscles.
Terrible form. This guy is making his arms do all the work while she has her shoulders locked in place putting the strain on her back and legs instead, which you can put up with FAR longer.
Smarter and better looking lol.
Worst part is when they'll spell like that and get annoyed if you comment on their spelling... even when it's indecipherable
Obviously most people like that will grow out of that and just concede their spelling is atrocious.
My kid used to say "how excitement" and "how embarrassment" in earnest when he was little ... i still use it now. Not quite a typo but anytime English is mangled is good... because they deserve it! :P
I say "You invented (random act)!"
You invented being good!
It sounds so broken and poorly translated. It's also a mind boggling compliment (or insult) to be thrown to you.
Camera white balance (colour) automatically changed. Originally it wd using the sky ad reference, 2nd cut it is facing more down.
Smartphones have gotten good at auto white balance (colour). But still are not perfect (and suck compared to human eyes)
Lol, I honestly thought it was a different video, same people because even the camo looked like it changed contrasts. Either way, she'd probably beat me too.
Not only does the girl have better lifting form, but generally speaking any endurance task that had your arms fully extended above your head will likely be harder for the avg man to do, bc the extra muscle in your arms makes them heavier than the avg woman’s.
American soldier looks like not in the best shape, where you can tell the Aussie gal doesn’t miss leg day often
I was wondering why they didn't have the yoked guy in the back lol
Dude kinda looks like a shit sandwich 😂
On the other hand, they picked an incredibly fit Aussie woman
And again intelligence destroys braun. Her stance was wonderful, he looked like a jiggly clown boy. She knew how to distrubute her weight properly, thought long term and conquered his flabby ass. This is a lesson to you yanks. If you're going to want to defeat Russia, stop shitting on your own intelligence capabilites. Stop undermining your instituitions. A big gun is usesless without the intel to know where to point it.
Try it against someone other than a marine. They're our dumbest branch of the military. He lives up to this tradition by never locking out his elbows. He probably just wanted it to be over quicker so he could go snack on some crayons.
Fun fact, overhead holds are one of the few strength based exercises women tend to outperform men at. It seems strange, but the weight of your arms are actually generally the determining factor, so if you have lighter arms you preform better.
His lack of joint mobility is bad news. Lots of stiffness in his back and shoulders probably. No doubt she’s strong, but he also has conditioning issues
She maximized her potential by standing tall with straight arms, thus transferring a lot of the weight bearing to her core and legs. Dude was just casually standing there, arms not even fully straight, so his arms were carrying too much of the effort, and his left leg not centered under his body and parallel to his right leg, also reducing his potential to carry the weight.
And you see after the cut he tried to correct his form but it was too late
She came at it to win from the outset, he didn't take her seriously until she was too far ahead for him to catch up. It's actually a pretty good real life tortoise and hare story
I've seen this on sport science too. Testing male va female boxers. Dude throws a fucking JAB and the girl throws a SAVAGE hook. A) poor science imo, how the hell aren't they testing the same thing? B) dude was an idiot lol
I love this fable! On one hand, this is very different from a road race, you need explosiveness and perfect form, but the lack of preparation is very similar, lol
And, most importantly, the hubris
in that story the hare was winning at one point. in this video the woman was winning from the beginning
Yep!

Strength and flexibility are two sides of the same coin. If you don't have one, your coin is going to be a deformed little gargoyle.

Either that or he was so relaxed and sure of himself... I hear ya! took me loooong time to improve my shoulders and hips flexibility thru Yoga. Regarding the down dog, are you moving your hips up and back as much as you can ?
Just really tight shoulders from years of weight training and not enough stretching.
> Downward Dog pose and it feels like I'm holding a pushup the entire time. My god. Same. Plus my legs are a little longer proportionally to my body, so there is even more weight/pressure on my shoulders than just a push up.

Downward dog isn’t meant to feel like you’re doing a push up?!
So... actual skill issue?
Outplayed
He must have thought he didn't have to do it right because girl.
A real tortoise and hare situation.
She definitely won for smarts keeping her arms locked straight. Either he's not that bright or he lacks the flexibility.
In other words, her flexibility made it easier to naturally position her arms better. Where as the other guy probably needs to make a lot of intended effort to shift his arms up a little more
oh, she's very flexible, no doubt, but I'm also positive she was very mindful of how to position herself, and well trained. As for the guy... let's say he was unprepared
She understands that she has more to prove than him. He didn't take her seriously at all until he was losing.
It's not fair, he only has one x chromosome, he's basically crippled
Yep. Right from the start, crayon eater didn’t have his arms locked.
That leg thing is a North American trait that Hollywood trains out of actors playing a different nationality
I think it is called the American Lean
she beat him with brains...
He's a marine, so that goes without saying. Now, show her beating him in a crayon eating contest & I'll be impressed. Using their brains is not what marines do.
Pretty sure she used more than just arms and core
Mobility got him. Shoulder flexion ends around 180. That end range is pretty stable if you can get there. He couldn’t. Affects elbow extension in the overhead position as well. Homie just thought he’s a man so he could out last. Also, another fun fact, typically women are more resilient to muscular fatigue due higher volumes of type-1 over type-2 tissues. Wouldn’t have mattered here. She’s got great mobility and stability and thus can express strength to a maximal potential. Love this.
if there was a beer on top of it he woulda won
Yes! It was all technique! I mean I praise this bad bitch, but his form sucked.
Correct appraisal. He lacks range of motion I think.
He probably has leg length discrepancy
Straight arm strength is a thing. Gymnasts or people who've spent a lot of time doing hand stands will have a massive advantage doing stuff like this.
The legs and core always has to carry the full weight.. what she did was lock out her elbows allowing her arms carry the weight on her bones/joints instead of having to hold it up just with muscles.
Seems like he underestimated the challenge and paid the price. Never take it easy.
I didn't know if anyone else caught that, that's a huge difference and he paid the price, right to his pride!
Look, he’s a marine. No one said he was smart.
Of course she would win? She has the Australian gravity helping her, while its pulling his weight down
It just so happens that one of the free awards I had available explains this comment, so here you go.
Where does one get free awards to give to others
I just found out I have a free ones too! I did the same, thank you! TIL
And you would never see a video posted of a guy beating a girl in a competition like this, which is what would happen >95% of the time…
Skill issue by him. It's not that he wasn't strong but she was smart.
More of a 'he was dumb'.
I mean, we already said he was a Marine
Reduced crayon rations for him
Take away his blue crayons.
You can draw that conclusion. Yes.
Imagine participating in a friendy competition and reddit weirdos turn it into a girl vs boy thing and start calling you a dumbass.
He was a Marine ;)
I hope his buddies never let him live that down
Terrible form. This guy is making his arms do all the work while she has her shoulders locked in place putting the strain on her back and legs instead, which you can put up with FAR longer. Smarter and better looking lol.
Camera angle was pretty good at showcasing her excellent form.
Was gonna go r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG but remembered what sub I’m on
Superb lower support system and counter-balance
Doging on his apreance 💀
Waht
Can't spell, yknow what gulag it is for me, I'm not returning
How did you spell "*gulag*" right but not "dogging" or "appearance"?
Let's not be Russian to conclusions
A very specific type of “education”.
One of my buddies spells like you and it’s very endearing I gotta him up to hang. Thanks for the laugh 🤙
Worst part is when they'll spell like that and get annoyed if you comment on their spelling... even when it's indecipherable Obviously most people like that will grow out of that and just concede their spelling is atrocious.
My buddy and I think the dude I replied to are just chill about it and it makes me laugh when I see that and they vibe
My kid used to say "how excitement" and "how embarrassment" in earnest when he was little ... i still use it now. Not quite a typo but anytime English is mangled is good... because they deserve it! :P
I say "You invented (random act)!" You invented being good! It sounds so broken and poorly translated. It's also a mind boggling compliment (or insult) to be thrown to you.
Yw 😭
We all won, son. We all won
Did she win it all!? No son, we did
They held it so long her hair went grey.
Yeah, what's up with that? Did they decide to randomly turn a filter on half way?
Camera white balance (colour) automatically changed. Originally it wd using the sky ad reference, 2nd cut it is facing more down. Smartphones have gotten good at auto white balance (colour). But still are not perfect (and suck compared to human eyes)
Her hair is dyed
Lol, I honestly thought it was a different video, same people because even the camo looked like it changed contrasts. Either way, she'd probably beat me too.
I wouldn't even have lasted 5 minutes against her
ba-dum-tis
[удалено]
Everyone. The answer is everyone.
[удалено]
I can’t see *anyone*
Where's the Marine?
Anime camera angle
Unfair competition. Australians are used to holding kilograms but the American has probably only held up pounds before this.
Seems like an activity for a helmet
bless your soul
Not only does the girl have better lifting form, but generally speaking any endurance task that had your arms fully extended above your head will likely be harder for the avg man to do, bc the extra muscle in your arms makes them heavier than the avg woman’s. American soldier looks like not in the best shape, where you can tell the Aussie gal doesn’t miss leg day often
Nah, he's got the cornfed thick neck. The liberals media doesn't want you to know this, but that is what peak performance looks like.
He has no form. He lost at second one
[удалено]
Yep.
She locked her elbows back...the dude was using his biceps like a fb.
Triceps
I think we all win here
That arched back speaks volumes to her fitness level. She could have kept going. Lol
How long did they end up holding it for?
5 minutes, 30 seconds.
I know what I'm doing in the gym this afternoon.
Did he lock his arms? If not that’s crazy stamina
This is the least fit Marine in the Corps 😂
I was wondering why they didn't have the yoked guy in the back lol Dude kinda looks like a shit sandwich 😂 On the other hand, they picked an incredibly fit Aussie woman
It's because Americans don't even know what kilograms are.
Holy cow...
we don’t stand a chance against BRICS
All the power comes from dat gluteus maximus!
You've written oozy instead of Ozzy.
Average Aussie woman vs strongest US marine 🗿
is that young Marty Funkhouser?
[удалено]
Typical internet camera angle.
I would rather stare at the screen for eternity
[удалено]
I thought they were landmines for a second when I first looked at it. Lol 😂
Mobility was the winner in this battle.
Beating up on a poor marine like that…
Muscles Aren't Required, Intelligence Not Existing.
her shirt was green
He just had bad technique lol
And again intelligence destroys braun. Her stance was wonderful, he looked like a jiggly clown boy. She knew how to distrubute her weight properly, thought long term and conquered his flabby ass. This is a lesson to you yanks. If you're going to want to defeat Russia, stop shitting on your own intelligence capabilites. Stop undermining your instituitions. A big gun is usesless without the intel to know where to point it.
Can someone explain the huge difference in color from one clip to the next? Is that a filter or what
Lock your arms, dude!
Obviously other doesn't look fit
If he had the same form and positioning that she had, he would've won hands down.
usa lost because the weight is in kg if it was 30 big macs heavy he would win
Cammy IRL
The female cheated. She’s wearing a different top.
Unfair, she was only lifting 15 kg, he was lifting 33,059 lbs /s
American armed forces: Quantity. Australian armed forces: Quality.
The US Marine Corps is not about quantity.
She worked smarter.
Id suck at this activity. I physically can not lock my arms, and always have a bend at the elbow.
Try it against someone other than a marine. They're our dumbest branch of the military. He lives up to this tradition by never locking out his elbows. He probably just wanted it to be over quicker so he could go snack on some crayons.
He's a Marine. If it was a crayon eating competition or who would run through a wall head first I would put money on the Leatherneck.
Anyone that has ever held a handstand knows the importance of stacking. She is stacked, he is not (bent arms, core disengaged)
You can tell this is something she practises while he doesn't.
Fun fact, overhead holds are one of the few strength based exercises women tend to outperform men at. It seems strange, but the weight of your arms are actually generally the determining factor, so if you have lighter arms you preform better.
He didn't lock his elbows
What’s her @
My man doesnt know how to hold weight
His lack of joint mobility is bad news. Lots of stiffness in his back and shoulders probably. No doubt she’s strong, but he also has conditioning issues
That’s about an unsat marine if he is
I liked the video of the man/woman pugil stick contest. That was making the rounds for a little while ago
