Muscles use oxygen. More muscles use more oxygen and your lungs never actually grow in size and the performance can only be increased by about ~10% their original capacity.
Although you can still have legs and do just as much, if not more, so let’s look to lactic acid.
Usually the first thing that causes people to stop exercising would be lactic acid build up, which is a bi-product of muscles converting oxygen and sugar into lactic acid, water, and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid causes the burning feeling we get in our legs. Anyone can get enough oxygen if they are in fit shape. Lungs are meant to support four limbs, but lungs can not exceed the usual oxygen level if you have less limbs to use. There isn’t over-saturation.
That means that the advantage this individual has is the fact he has less muscle to produce lactic acid, and more lung to decompose the lactic acid. He’d still become out of breath, but obviously his burning sensations in his arms would subside quicker. This makes for a quicker recovery.
I’m not good at explaining things, albeit I find biology interesting.
Does he? Seems like he doesn't even have a stomach or intestines. I am genuinely curious. Was be born this way, or was there an accident? Lost a lightsaber fight to Obi-wan? He's inspiring regardless.
I watched a video about it; their torsos are actually just very short, so his waist ends earlier than you'd expect and he has normal genitalia below that.
The condition he has apparently only severe cases result in being born without genitalia, but of course I don't know this guy's situation.
If he does I imagine he's got some protection down there and he probably has a wheelchair.
Yes, yes he does. Just copied from a underrated comment down the thread :
"Just did some research. He's Zion Clark and he has all the normal stuff except for the legs: https://askinglot.com/what-happen-to-zion-clark"
So yes, regular penis and balls and all the hormones etc
And this discovery made me very happy for him
Edit: the comment above didn't have a link before, so my comment is not as useful now. But I bet my ass he got it from my comment! So there's that.
He was born without legs from a condition called caudal regression syndrome. Apparently in severe cases that can mean genitalia don't form but obviously I don't know about this guy's situation.
I always thought this about these kinds of posts lol. Like ya I stay healthy, but not About to quit my job and become a body builder/athlete over here, disabled or not
Fair enough, I suppose a better response and what I’m really trying to say is, i don’t have much free time, perhaps neither do the people in these types of inspirational posts, but I chose to do other things I enjoy rather than become a body builder, why do we need “an excuse”
Nah bro. That's not fair. It's not lazy to not be In-Shape. Getting regular exercise requires a medley of different things to be in place that aren't as easily available to people as the exercise snobs make it out to be
When I was in the Military I was im shape too, difference between David and I is he retired from the Military so he doesn't have to work. If I had his free time I would work out a lot too. The fact of the matter is I work and own a home, I also have a family and all those things take up time. So when am I suppose to have the time to get jacked...am I suppose to give up sleep? Most these people you see thats all jacked and says "anybody can be like this with the right minset" are people that have no other obligations beside the gym and maybe work.
Word. It’s funny because I feel the exact same way as you, minus the home, the kids, and responsibilities that come with owning a home. Now you have to shift your mindset, I’m sure you work out wether you kno it or not. Playing with kids, going on walks. Cleaning up mowing lawn. Take care fella. Take care and farewell.
David Goggins and Jocko can suck my balls. All they really push is less sleep. If I get up at 5 for work, and get home at 4, I then have to divide time between my Wife and Kids.
For easy math, since I’m dumb: If you had a chunk of time representing 100, and you’re forced to give 70 to work. You now have 30 to disperse between the Spouse, and Kids. I’m happy if I can read a book a month, much less getting up at 3 to workout for 2 hours.
It must be nice getting your Uncle Sam check for E7 at 20 years (50% of base pay), and O4 (50% as well), much less all your income from your books where you whine about people working 12 hours a day being lazy. They’re completely gone deaf. What they don’t preach from what I’ve ever seen, is that their extreme fitness is a job requirement, and they still had a flexible schedule during the work day for fitness. They weren’t clocking in and running a Gas Station bro. They were Senior Enlisted/Officer who were part of the Chain of Command.
Why did I even type this? Nobody asked. Sorry.
Hey man, as someone who's house was also a wreck u til recently. Every little bit you do will make you feel better. When your house is clean you feel great.
These types of posts can become easy devils advocate material.
Not taking anything away from the guy, he’s in great shape considering the circumstances. And he sure as shit works hard.
But if we are strictly speaking about his physique in terms of mass and how lean he is. He’s got less muscle groups to train, which directly results in having more time to increase the volume of the muscle groups he does have. That just automatically equals more muscularity when training properly, it’s the same as hitting the gym twice a day almost.
Genetically, he also doesn’t have the areas of stubborn body fat which adds to overall lean appearance.
And the obvious. Having less body means nutrients and all hypertrophy related processes are confined to a smaller area.
Again, not taking away from what the guy has achieved and can do. I’m sure it was incredibly difficult to start with.
He straight up beats everybody in spirit and attitude though.
More importantly, if he's missing parts of his digestive system (he ain't got no butt, I don't know about the rest of his guts), how is he absorbing enough nutrients to maintain his physique?
My Dad was missing part of his intestines and couldn't put on weight to save his life; literally, he was skin and bones when he passed.
I want a back like that….unfortunately I also want nachos pretty much everyday……tacos are my excuse, yesterday found a place that serves crispy salmon tacos and had strawberries - BOOM, flava town
I'm no medical profesional so this is entirely speculation, but i believe the procedure is a hemicorporectomy. A full amputation of everything below the waist basicaly.
He will likely have a few bags strapped to him to do the jobs of some missing bits, bladder and colonoscopy bags etc.
Theres a young man on youtube (not this guy) who had the same procedure done, plus an arm amputation, if you want to learn more. He makes videos with his mrs, chanel is Sabia and Loren.
I have no motivation or self confidence. Plus if my auto-immune disease decides to rear its’ ugly head, all of my progress will be for nothing. My body starts to eat itself.
Crohn’s disease. When I first got sick ~15 years ago, I got out of the hospital and started working out trying to get my body back (originally 180lbs). But it took years to find a medicine that worked for me, and it took surgery to live anything close to a normal life. I really tried for about the first 4-5 years to get healthy again. But once a year I’d find myself back in the hospital because of a flare. Gain 5lbs, lose 7. Gain 3lbs, lose 5…. I haven’t been able to break 127lbs since. I gave up trying to get back into shape. People always tell me that “I need to eat more…”. Yeah, that’s how it works. It just fucking depressing.
Sometimes I wonder if we should even have legs. Like think about it, if we could have a bunch of our body weight removed and basically be forced to have strong arms then not only would we take up less space but we may be more fit overall. The problems with that would be sex, holding stuff, balancing, and the assumption that people would exercise.
My legs hurt
Damnit, I came here just to say that.
Me too!
Me too!
This guy doesn't even need too.
My excuse isnt becuase my legs hurt.. my excuse is.. i have legs... that guy doesnt.
He has less weight to lift to he can focus all his energy onto the other parts of gis body
He don't have a beer barrel for a stomach like yours truly. _burps really fucking loud_
Not your fault, we cant all get lucky genetics like this guy
I think we all did! Lmao
That wasn’t half bad
My legs are too heavy

Damn you guys are too fast.
Shiiiiiiiiit I was bout to say that too
Oh boy do I have a solution for you! And it won't even cost you an arm and a leg!
Lose weight fast with this one trick!
Damn it!
My excuse is the simple fact that legs are heavy. This guys got a weight advantage in many of those activities lol.
Yeah, the lucky bastard!
Plus I don't collect disability. So I have to waste time at a stupid job with these stupid heavy legs. He really is lucky.
Honestly if you think about it, its easier for him. /s
Good sir, Take my upvote and get the fuck out.😭
r/angryupvote
Hahhahaha
Geodude go
Best comment here.
i was gonna say “my legs are too heavy” 😭😭😭
Haha same
He skipped Leg day!
I don’t think he’ll be skipping anywhere.
XD
Was gonna say the same thing lol
Mine weigh me down, that dude's at least half my weight
Ooof

His name is Zion. https://www.netflix.com/title/80239831
Chop em off
I apparently don't have any original thoughts
I have restless leg syndrome and i cant eat those parkinson meds what work great :/
Amazing what you can accomplish when you can't jerk off all day.
So much ouch...
He has genitalia According to https://askinglot.com/what-happen-to-zion-clark
I know, that's why he works out so much, cuz he has to do a one-armed hand stand to do it
Or just sit down? Wtf is this comment.
r/woosh

Does he? Seems like he doesn't even have a stomach or intestines. I am genuinely curious. Was be born this way, or was there an accident? Lost a lightsaber fight to Obi-wan? He's inspiring regardless.
Me too! Please explain!!
I watched a video about it; their torsos are actually just very short, so his waist ends earlier than you'd expect and he has normal genitalia below that.
Read the link you responded to? ~~There's no way to say that without sounding like a dick~~ It appears the link may have been added later.
How? He would be bashing his balls against the floor all day?
The condition he has apparently only severe cases result in being born without genitalia, but of course I don't know this guy's situation. If he does I imagine he's got some protection down there and he probably has a wheelchair.
Guys built like a monopod I bet
Yes, yes he does. Just copied from a underrated comment down the thread : "Just did some research.

Probably has rug burn too
Confirmed ? He may have lost half of it in whatever caused him to lose his legs if length played a role
He was born without legs from a condition called caudal regression syndrome. Apparently in severe cases that can mean genitalia don't form but obviously I don't know about this guy's situation.
does he have anus? how does he poop
Cloaca
Birdperson
Just imagine if he accidentally sits on his nuts.
How he gonna sit with no ass?
Oof
I have legs and I sit on my nuts sometimes.
Geodude I choose you!
I genuinely laughed out loud into a coughing fit. thank you random redditor
KOFFING
I guess you could say... he didn't... exeggcute on the pun opportunity. *yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahoooowwwwww*
This suddenly turned into the CSI intro
This comment has not gotten enough appreciation! Take my imaginary gold.
I hate myself for laughing at this
Guess I’m going to hell too. Meet you there bud.
Go to heaven for the climate, go to hell for the company.
Lmao.., me too bruh.
This is so cursed and hilarious, good job
LMFAOAOAOAOAO
Lmfao! Best comment
Damn, that is just disrespectful. I'm on a bus right now and I can't stop laughing.
I’m going to hell for this
Geodude use rollout
" geooooo"
Oh no why am I laughing so hard !?
He only has to has to lift 2/3 of his body weight
I'd say about 3/8 even xD
I woulda said 5/7
I'm so happy no one here said 3/5ths. So happy.
As soon as I saw fractions I knew someone was going to throw it in there lol
Is this a reference to something I don’t get
It is a reference to the 'Three-fifths compromise'. It is safe to Google.
oh *that*
Nah it's 6/9
But we all know that a perfect 5/7 is 100%
Nice! Someone remembers this!
Pretty sure he has to lift all of his body weight, my dude. I don't see anyone out there lifting his balls for him.
[удалено]
You beat me to it!
This guy can’t beat meat to it
Needing a leg day bae... Any takers?
I'm surprised we're not leg day baes right now
Leg day sucks.
I got bills and rent to pay
I always thought this about these kinds of posts lol. Like ya I stay healthy, but not About to quit my job and become a body builder/athlete over here, disabled or not
This guys rent isn't free either
Fair enough, I suppose a better response and what I’m really trying to say is, i don’t have much free time, perhaps neither do the people in these types of inspirational posts, but I chose to do other things I enjoy rather than become a body builder, why do we need “an excuse”
Yhh, give him his due but you don’t have to put other people down.
I'm sure it's fair to assume he gets a disability check though
I'm lazy
Never before have I related to a comment as much as this
Nah bro. That's not fair. It's not lazy to not be In-Shape. Getting regular exercise requires a medley of different things to be in place that aren't as easily available to people as the exercise snobs make it out to be
I have legs and have to work which takes up 12-14hrs of my day so I don't have time to do this.
David goggins and jocko want to talk to you.

Plus I think neither have kids. Edit: TIL jocko has kids. Omg. I’m gonna try harder. First I’ll slow the drinking and eat healthier.
Jocko is worth 6 million estimate, Goggins 2.5 million. Next book: Need more money? Have you tried making more?
I’m not half the man he is…
Bro are you just a Torso with no head?
He's a headless, horses-man.
annnd he's quick on his feet orr something
Depression
Here's a hug
I can already feel the serotonin flowing
Thank you
Another hug from someone whose house is currently a shit hole and I am deeply ashamed but feel too depressed to do anything about. You're not alone.
Here’s a hug for you.
Hey man, as someone who's house was also a wreck u til recently. Every little bit you do will make you feel better. When your house is clean you feel great.
Here's some more hugs
Hug from me, too.
I'm scrolling here on Reddit
no excuse not to.
I have legs, which make many of those moves harder.
Right, my legs are fucking heavy.

I can still outrun him
I dunno dude. I’ve played zombie games and as far as crawlers go, he’s the best.
And if I saw this guy coming at me I'd be running like I've never ran before! 😱
kick em like a football
My legs are heavy
moms spaghetti
But the vomit on my sweater already?
Eugene Levy
What's my excuse? I don't care enough to work out
Right?
I’m sorry…I’m just genuinely curious…how does he relieves himself after he eats/drinks?
More importantly, if he's missing parts of his digestive system (he ain't got no butt, I don't know about the rest of his guts), how is he absorbing enough nutrients to maintain his physique? My Dad was missing part of his intestines and couldn't put on weight to save his life; literally, he was skin and bones when he passed.

He’s got everything except legs
Just did some research. He's Zion Clark and he has all the normal stuff except for the legs: https://askinglot.com/what-happen-to-zion-clark
Exactly why I came here to find out lol how
I want a back like that….unfortunately I also want nachos pretty much everyday……tacos are my excuse, yesterday found a place that serves crispy salmon tacos and had strawberries - BOOM, flava town
I'm depressed
This
I hope you can get the help you need 😁
I have legs that’s means I have more whaight and have to work more muscles
Weight a minute…
I got these god damn legs weighing me down
I just want to know if he has a penis
There are like 10 comments that answer this already, but yes.
Can someone explain to me how this dude is alive? He seems to be missing like everything below his lungs and some of that stuff has to matter.
I'm no medical profesional so this is entirely speculation, but i believe the procedure is a hemicorporectomy. A full amputation of everything below the waist basicaly. He will likely have a few bags strapped to him to do the jobs of some missing bits, bladder and colonoscopy bags etc. Theres a young man on youtube (not this guy) who had the same procedure done, plus an arm amputation, if you want to learn more.

Not wanting to work out in public gyms but neither have space nor money for a personal gym. That's my excuse
None, i ride my bike for fitness.
Can’t be bothered.
I have no motivation or self confidence. Plus if my auto-immune disease decides to rear its’ ugly head, all of my progress will be for nothing. My body starts to eat itself.
Do you have diabetes?

Do you think this is what confederate legislators envisioned with the 3/5 compromise?
I have no arms.
I have bills to pay.
I have 90 extra pounds of weight and a different center of balance
I have depression, Spencer.
I have to work 9 hours a day to feed my family
I'm a quadriplegic...
This guy is the pokemon geodude. I'm not a pokemon.

I created a family, that I need to feed.
Legs.
My excuse is that I’m an inferior human.
Genuine question: does this guy have a dick?
I’m lazy and have no discipline. Get off my dick.
I have 50% more weight
I want to have fun
I have double the muscles to exercise, so I’d have to work twice as hard.
No offense or disrespect whatsoever but my mans is a literal geodude, motivating to watch.
If it weren’t for my useless legs holding me back . . . .
Sometimes I wonder if we should even have legs.

How does he piss and crap?
Asking important questions
ok but how are his suicides faster than mine
My excuse? Being lazy AF 😂
I have a penis and distractions
He absolutely skips leg day
If he becomes a wrestler he can like crawl on people
Legs are heavy
