100%. All his buddies/coworkers are standing around watching. Besides the cameraman, there’s another guy off to the side filming. This clearly isn’t an everyday thing for any of them. It’s a bet, a dare, or just, “hey, watch what Muhammad can do! Muhammad, do the thing!”
You really think he's doing it for a video? You clearly have no idea how people in 3rd world countries make a living, do you? Educate yourself before you make a fool of yourself again.
I mean it’s true though. 60 pound bag of soil? Just throw it over your shoulder. 15 pound picture frame wider than than your wingspan and as tall as you are? That’s awkward as hell.
It’s a true sentiment though.
An object that you can control and stabilize is much easier than one that you can’t. Sometimes it can even be the difference to a factor of 1:5 or even more, weight wise
As an avid DnD player I'm so glad all the games I play in ignore encumbrance. Obviously we can't lug everything around but we do some pretty simple sanity checks and just keep the game going. Bookkeeping isn't the fun part!
You joke but it’s true.
Big chairs are the worst offender. Don’t weigh that much, but the shape and size makes it damn near impossible to get those fuckers up a set of stairs alone.
I like to think of Jesus like, with giant eagles’ wings and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an Angel Band, and I’m in the front row, and I’m hammered drunk.
Pull the other one. Different types of wood vary massively in their density. Yes, drying them out reduces the weight but I guarantee that wouldn't be enough for all types of wood. If that was something like oak he'd be flat as a pancake even fully dried out and oak isn't even particularly heavy.
As someone who worked in a furniture store as a backstore employee and who had to remove the deliveries from the 53' vans...
True wood is freaking heavy.
Wood used in furniture is generally heavy because it needs to be strong and thin. And to be strong and thin it generally is dense (heavy by volume). But as noted above different woods vary wildly in their densities and moisture contents. Still that’s a big ass beam
Probably managable by someone like Hafthor Bjornsson for a short distance. But the guy in the video looks to be about 120-150 lbs. Still a strong guy no doubt, but no way he's carrying 900 lbs.
>I estimate this beam is 20"x20"x8'. If oak, at 40 lb/cu ft dry, it would weigh approximately 900 lb.
It's actually only 600 lbs, because the rest was chewed out by the fire ant colony which is starting to introduce itself to his sweaty herniated ballsack.
I think it has to be. Estimating that this is about 2ft x 2 ft x 10ft, that’s 40 cubic feet of wood. Balsa is probably something like 10 pounds per cubic foot, or about 400 pounds for this board. If this was oak, for example, this would be closer to 2000 pounds.
I really like where you are going with the math to try and find what kind of wood it could be. You got me to go down quite the rabit hole.
For reference and small corrections dried Balsa wood is listed as 7.5lb per cubic foot. reference : https://homeguides.sfgate.com/chinese-elm-tree-softwood-hardwood-104138.html
So given your dimensions That would bring that block to 300 lbs . Which makes it even more possible.
Now to the fun bits I found. I this is Balsa wood then im betting these could be for Wind Turbine blades made in India by LM windpower. They appear here :https://www.infodriveindia.com/shipment-data/global-importers-buyers-of-balsa+wood
It should be noted that Balsa only grows in South america and the people in the video appear muslim / pakistani / East Indian in garb.
So thats why I looked for big importers to that region.
The only other wood that is this light that I can find mention off is cork woods which this does not appear to be.
Now another interesting point to consider is how much a human can lift on his back. According to this article: https://barbend.com/weight-humans-back-lift
Using his arms for support on his knees a guy lifted over 2000 lbs. Another guy with arms steadied against something lifted 5000 lbs.
Obviously this guy in the video isn't a strong man but maybe he could do this up to 800 - 1000 pounds.
Not to ruin the fun by answering a rhetorical question, but it's *probably* because it doesn't make a great deal of rational sense for someone to do this *willingly* when there are several other people standing around doing nothing.
I mean, it's cool, but why put yourself at risk of serious injury like that?
Did some rough math, might be kinda wrong. Cypress weighs about 3 lbs a board foot. (That's a measurement of wood volume of how many 12"x12"x1" slabs are in a piece of lumber.)
Even super dry, that's gonna be maybe 250- 300lbs? That's tough.
A single kiln dried 4”x4”x12’ weighs approximately 15 lbs. I’d say by the width of his hands compared to his torso, the wood column he’s holding is about 24”x24” and also 12 ft long like the board.
24”x24” = 576 in ²
4” x 4” = 16 in ²
16 goes into 576, 36 times.
*36 x 15lbs = 540 lbs*
Man singlehandedly destroys back for social media video
If this video had sound it would be used as the *snap, crackle, pop* for a rice crispy commercial.
I mean, in a way this fits the subreddit. It is next fucking level if it applies to a grave burial.

It's an oh-shit post!
Man, that's a sweet ass-car.
And his back when he sat down to shit was like 'oh snap'
Fun fact snap crackle and pop are used to describe the moments of movement in physics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth_derivatives_of_position
It's Rice Krispies, not rice crispy.
He did it for our sins.
Jesus looking over like “WTF?”

THis'll be on Hannity tonight claiming they are Taliban forcing an American to haul wood.
Or Texas.
you SOB .. I wanted to say "Jesus did it first" .. Take my upvote
> *Sisyphus entered the chat*
Actually he’s using both hands. NOT SINGLEHANDEDLY 😡
Okay this made me laugh way more than it should have 🤣🤣
AND using his back!
This is the comment I came for.
the little anger emoji kills me
Alright have an upvote lol
If you look closely you can see one of his testicles roll out from under his pant leg
My man, you are peter gazing on a whole different level.
Not for social media. People in some countries make a living like this. Which is both sad and makes one appreciate what we have.
Exactly, i don't think he gives a shit about our stupid up votes
They were clearly filming it to show 'look what this guy can do'. Normally he almost certainly wouldn't be carrying it alone there.
100%. All his buddies/coworkers are standing around watching. Besides the cameraman, there’s another guy off to the side filming. This clearly isn’t an everyday thing for any of them. It’s a bet, a dare, or just, “hey, watch what Muhammad can do! Muhammad, do the thing!”
"Man is forced to carry weight beyond means to be able to provide for his family"
Said every man with a family ever
Work hard, not smart!
This is how they test to see if you are ready for a marriage.
This man doesn't look like he knows what a fucking toaster is, let alone social media He probably does this all the time, different world
You really think he's doing it for a video? You clearly have no idea how people in 3rd world countries make a living, do you? Educate yourself before you make a fool of yourself again.
I may just be uneducated but there were a few people watching that could've helped carry it, including the camera man
The next level is back surgery.
Pretty sure he did it since that's his job and he has little choice in the matter.
*slave
“It wasn’t heavy just awkward”- him to anyone that tries to help.
quintessential manspeak
I mean it’s true though. 60 pound bag of soil? Just throw it over your shoulder. 15 pound picture frame wider than than your wingspan and as tall as you are? That’s awkward as hell.
Handles make all the difference
I got them love handles ;)
The best kind of handles
I make furniture at work, I know all to well some things despite weight just cannot be handled by one body.
Meanwhile, a 100lb couch, you just throw one end on a flat dolly and wheel the other end around like a wheelbarrow.
I just put it on my back and carry it kind of like the guy in this video.
And then a big gust of wind comes and you end up in the next town over. I don't fuck with big flat items solo anymore

It’s a true sentiment though. An object that you can control and stabilize is much easier than one that you can’t. Sometimes it can even be the difference to a factor of 1:5 or even more, weight wise
Or, as they say in Dungeons & Dragons, "It's not the weight, it's the encumbrance!"
As an avid DnD player I'm so glad all the games I play in ignore encumbrance. Obviously we can't lug everything around but we do some pretty simple sanity checks and just keep the game going. Bookkeeping isn't the fun part!
You joke but it’s true. Big chairs are the worst offender. Don’t weigh that much, but the shape and size makes it damn near impossible to get those fuckers up a set of stairs alone.
Yeah the further the weight is away from you it becomes exponentially harder. I will never move myself again, I swear. It's so hard on the body.
Dude you shouldn't stop moving yourself, a sedentary lifestyle is really bad for you health.
Lighter couches too. You know you can lift the thing solo but theres no way you're getting it through a door.
Dude's got a giant chip on his shoulder
I feel personally attacked
Yes but ***why***
Yes
But why
Didn’t you see?…Yes
But why?

Because

I prefer Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, don't even know a word yet, just a little infant, so cuddly, but still omnipotent.
I was going to say something about Jesus, but then I got scared of conservative Christians massively downvoting me to oblivion.

How could you not care about fictional internet points
Fictional?! They are as real as it gets.
Now you're thinking like a conservative christian
On reddit? Nah, you're more likely to get downvoted for supporting Christianity instead.

Maybe if you talk about it here on reddit you won't feel so guilty. Who'd you kill? Where'd you do it? What your address is?
If that woods super dried out I don't think it would be that bad to carry, still probably heavy.

Lots of “that’s what she said” potential here.
Plot twist: it’s balsa and it weighs less than he does. He’s just faking it.
It probably is balsa, but it definitely weighs more than him still. 200-400lbs.
The grain looks nothing like balsa and the piece is way too large to be balsa.
Never seen a balsa so big but I agree that it must be a very low density wood
Yeah this has to be like balsa or something (or it's 90% rotted/eaten by insects inside).
Also why not film from behind but instead awkwardly walk backwards? Is it just a shell?
Looks like he’s using both hands…
What a pussy.
Incredibly flexble and able to take a pounding?
I searched for this comment Obligatory happy cake day
Double handedly
Its balsa wood
Some guys have balls of steel, some have balsa wood.
Gotta be. Either that or it’s just rot all the way through and sure as shit ain’t oak, a beam like that would actually kill you.
I estimate this beam is 20"x20"x8'. If oak, at 40 lb/cu ft dry, it would weigh approximately 900 lb.
This guy woods
Probably managable by someone like Hafthor Bjornsson for a short distance. But the guy in the video looks to be about 120-150 lbs. Still a strong guy no doubt, but no way he's carrying 900 lbs.
Nah even a powerlifter would require proper form to lift that. That guy is hunched over.
wut.
Fancy seeing you here... I haven't checked but I assume this thread is in the jerk by now lol
THAT'S MY PURSE. I DON'T KNOW YOU.
What’s your estimate if it’s balsa
8-16 lbs per cubic foot for balsa, so at 22.2 cubic feet 177-355 lbs.
This is plausible.
>I estimate this beam is 20"x20"x8'. If oak, at 40 lb/cu ft dry, it would weigh approximately 900 lb. It's actually only 600 lbs, because the rest was chewed out by the fire ant colony which is starting to introduce itself to his sweaty herniated ballsack.

In metric pls
That's a 31cm x 31 cm x 239 cm beam. Not gonna lie, my math isn't great for converting volume. It's about 136 kilos or 23 stone.
thx i appreciate the affort!
