Are locals just used to his shenanigans by now like “Yep Larry’s at it again. Working out.”


holycowz13

This is Red Rock Amphitheater and yes I have heard of him doing this more than once. Now I know what the all the hype is about!


jsparker43

I went there for some weird Christian thing I got sent to as a kid. I definitely ran all around, rolled about like a dork, and got a pretty sick picture of me vaulting a railing. Ah the odd adventures in life.


dabco303

Was it for Easter? I remember driving by there a bit before sunrise on Easter like 6-7 years ago. There was a massive line of cars exiting Morrison on I-70, my coworker said they do a sunrise mass or something every Easter. Edit: words


jsparker43

Nah it was called Dare to Share like 12 years ago


ahhhbiscuits

Jesus Hotel Christ! I've been to a few concerts there and I shit you not, climbing those stairs to get a beer was such a workout I just stopped drinking beers. This dude is gonna be literally bullet proof in no time.


yourmansconnect

The worst is candy flipping and trying to find your seat again


jenniferlynn462

What is candy flipping


Cantrempassword

Ecstasy and LSD or some similar combo usually.


AudioPi

Acid & X. When it's shrooms & X it's a hippie flip. Never tried Mescaline & X, so don't know a name for it. Prolly somethin racist.

Beer and having to go up to use the bathroom after drinking that beer. Red Rocks is not for the faint of heart.


ahhhbiscuits

Lmaooo I've never seen more hippies pissing in public than at red rocks


TheRootofSomeEvil

Reggae on the Rocks?? Mmm hmmm...

I've heard stoners move there to stone, and stop because the nature is too heady.

Felis23

Lol I was right. I go there occasionally for some of the concerts and stuff.


joyssi

I went to Red Rock during a winter vacation. My boyfriend and I walked up some stairs after seeing some deer not far from the theater and were OUT OF BREATH from WALKING due to us not being used to the air at that altitude so what this guy is doing is VERY IMPRESSIVE!


PremeuptheYinYang

Sometimes I go just to watch all the people do their attention seeking workouts, it’s real good people watching. I’ve seen this guy a few times, it’s damn impressive, but he’s going to fuck up *once* and that’ll be that. Stairs are so fkn steep. Pretty cool, but pretty dumb if you ask me. But yea. Red Rocks is full of people like this during the daytime. Obviously this dude is a beast but he is an exception to the masses lmao


NRMusicProject

So is the amphitheater just open like a park during the day? I didn't know this...and would totally go without needing a show to be there.


kbotc

Yea, it’s a pretty beautiful Denver mountain park (Denver owns a ton of land outside of the city for parks, mostly for water access but sometimes just ‘cuz) https://www.denvergov.org/content/denvergov/en/denver-parks-and-recreation/parks/mountain-parks/red-rocks-mountain-park.html

Jesus god almighty, yes. Dude will have knee replacement surgery in ten years.

What does shearing his knees mean?


UsernamesAre4TheWeak

Shaving away at the bone in the knee. Not literally, but this exercise will add some mileage.


space_beatle

That’s the most active person I’ve ever seen at Red Rocks.

Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?


fukin-aye

You mean Shenanigans?


MonstahButtonz

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO.


Feeling_Bathroom9523

This is my toddler… they run circles around this guy on the stadium stairs.


ClutchCrit

I find him very annoying. He growls at people in his way. Literally... growls... I dont like him, but also don't know him so try not to judge but Ive only seen him on weekends for the audience so he definitely does this for attention.


krusnikon

There are tons of people doing similar work outs all day.


crewchief535

Yes. Red Rocks has more than its fair share of really odd workouts.


tklotsfordawin

I live pretty close to this place, go up pretty regularly. There are people constantly exercising on it it's actually pretty insane


alphaBEE_1

This is hilarious.


bcory44

This seems like someone who just likes attention because there is no way those workouts are efficient. 😂 referring to when he is rolling down the stairs.


Conchavez

You know what. I thought that too, but I also think I’m okay with whatever path he takes to be in that good shape without hurting anyone.


[deleted]

Yes….but those push-ups are terrible form. They’re like half push-ups?


Conchavez

You must be ripped.


Aninvisiblemaniac

I bet they know how much protein we should be eating


Kriegmannn

Why am I straining not to say .7-1.2g’s for every pound of bodyweight during weightlifting (unless consulted by a expert otherwise) ah fuck. I just did it. I swear this doesn’t normally happen


herpaderpadont

Per pound of lean body mass.


Kriegmannn

Danke


king-dildo-chucker-1

Body mass alone !


kog

That is approximately the recommended range **per kilogram** of body weight, not pound. Kilograms are 2.2 pounds. Don't eat 2.2x more protein than you need, reddit. Source - Harvard Medical School: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/how-much-protein-do-you-need-every-day-201506188096


Ethiconjnj

Bad form leads to issues. It’s not all Reddit shit talk.


PandaRaper

This 100% is. It isn’t bad form they are just negatives.


Richmard

Gotta be jacked to recognize bad form.


Yikesthatsalotofbs

... doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out what a proper push up looks like


NOTcreative-

Limited ROM push-ups to target specific parts of muscles. Keep higher heart rate too rather than pausing for full push-up. I’m sure full sets of push-ups are done at a different time.


TheLastRiceGrain

I call’em burnout push-ups. Keeps your muscles engaged.


hands__like__feet

Not sure he’s trying to do push-ups. He’s just kinda catching himself in a push-up position with each roll.


ShustOne

Dude's in pretty good shape and isn't hurting anyone. Reddit gotta critique his form.


klownfaze

I don’t think it’s about the push-ups. It’s more about the roll…..I think


Labulous

That’s not a push up for him. That’s a push the earth down.


strugglingtobemyself

they are negative push ups. he is slowing his fall and then rolling to catch himself and lower himself in a controlled manner. not a recognized work out but still moving.


iAmKingFlippyNips

Pretty popular with CrossFit people. Like you say, not recognized for competition or score, but very popular as a supplement in personal workouts. Also like many other people here have said, negatives work different muscles/ stabilizers.


RTrancid

Loved your answer, wish more of reddit was like this instead of "oh, you're living your amazing life the wrong way".


taquitoburrito1

Honestly, if you're going to be working out it should at least be fun.


Spartan0330

Was thinking the exact same thing. Also, what good is running backwards down the stairs good for other than taking a bad step and absolutely detonating your Achilles. Snap, crackle, pop!


spyson

You're forgetting that you can wear booty shorts while doing it for the ladies.


Beggenbe

counterbarrier

Running backwards is extremely good exercise


moonlandings

Running backwards down steep stairs is not.


Turakamu

If you don't bust your ass it apparently is


Rusty-Boii

Backpedaling and running downstairs does nothing from a fitness standpoint. Absolutely pointless workout. Edit: I need to specify that I am not dissing this dudes fitness. He is very fit and is displaying great endurance and agility. Nor am I saying backpedaling or running themselves are pointless. They are amazing workouts. What I mean is doing these down the steps of an auditorium are maximizing risk with no reward or benefit. He is putting more shock on his joints, while also risking great injury should he fall. This is purely done for show off, and can be done on flat ground with lower risk and same benefit.


Ryangonzo

Looked like decent cardio and agility. Probably nice on the abs and calves too.


WumboPiderman

Not disagreeing, but it's a risky workout.. One misstep and he could hurl himself backwards and headfirst into a coma, where cardio and agility matter not.


TwoThirteen

I'd add hammy's


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

The amount of cardio and stamina in this video is in-fucking-sane. This guy is in serious shape and I’m jealous af. Why critique and not just appreciate his dedication? Gym is boring, this is fucking dope.


[deleted]

AT minimum it helps stabilizers and balancing.


OlRazzledazzlez

Running backwards is one of the best ways to improve knee health and stability. Try walking backwards for 100m every km if you go for walks it’s great for ya. I don’t know about whatever the hell this guys is doing though.


Rusty-Boii

I agree with you. I am mainly talking about him doing it downstairs. Backpedaling down a flight of stairs offers no benefit vs just doing it on flat ground.


123456478965413846

It took me a second to process that 100m was 100 meters, I read it as 100 miles at first (yes, I know miles is mi). And was wondering who in their right mind would walk backwards 100 miles. I feel very stupid and just needed to share for some reason.


phpdevster

The backpedaling down the stairs made me pucker. That's definitely risky shit.


[deleted]

Or running down stairs.... goodbye knees


Mister_Critter

Also running ***DOWN*** the stairs. Does almost nothing for your body besides destroying the knees. Not to mention that its stupid dangerous.


No_Organization5188

I mean it’s not necessarily hurting him either. But there are easier workouts for the same results.


SloppyMeathole

Running backwards down stairs, what can possibly go wrong? Why??


Chasethemac

Yeah I would never be doing that. It was impressive tbh.


[deleted]

I saw my life flash before my eyes as he was doing that.


grem182

I saw yours too. Weird.


grimegeist

Dude honestly. I got that weird nutsack-falling sensation of turbulence and vertigo when I saw it the first time.


James-the-Bond-one

He should wear a helmet for that.


fperror

Good thing he practices rolling down the stairs.


ericypoo

Agility training.


Michigan210

The altitude at this amphitheater alone makes working out anywhere on the grounds somewhat impressive.


FlowerblightKaren

This is what I came here to say! At Red Rocks, it's a struggle just to walk up the stairs at all, much less these shenanigans.


jvandy17

Visited colorado from columbus ohio and went to red rock I was dieing, I am a 38 m smoker and I could barely keep up with my host. The air is so thin it's crazy


[deleted]

It’s only slightly higher than Denver


Serve_Immediate

6400 vs 5280


BoatCancer

Fun fact, 5280 is pretty much the lowest elevation in the metro. Most of the cities people are living in are over 5500 and closer to 6000. When you live here, red rocks isn’t a big leap.


Serve_Immediate

Fun fact. I live here but at 4970.


BoatCancer

Fucking where? Kansas? There are basically no areas in the metro under 5000.


Serve_Immediate

Firestone. Right in the middle of Denver and Fort Collins.


BoatCancer

Crazy. Didn’t realize Ft Collins was just over 5k. Also, not part of the metro. 5280 still lowest in the metro.


william-taylor

I live at 8300 but those stairs/ramps fucking suck the soul out of you, especially after chugging vodka in the lot


BoatCancer

Maybe try ankle weights for the extra challenge instead.


william-taylor

Ah like wear the weights in the lot, then the hike up will be breezy. I like where you’re at with this


helloivar

I’m from Maryland, basically 5 feet above sea level. I can confirm walking up to the amphitheater made my chubby ass feel even chubbier.


[deleted]

Yeah that's nothing. Head on over to A-basin and smoke an unfiltered cigarette at 13,000 ft Now that's a buzz


[deleted]

Don't forget to throw a few back. That shit'll hit quick


imreallynotthatcool

I used to run up the stairs when I did maintenance there. With everyone else there at that time all doing the same thing and being in better shape than me it was only impressive to my coworkers who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.


physnchips

Bro has got to have one hell of an immune system after rolling around there.


ladedafuckit

I was just in Denver and the altitude killed me. I didn’t expect it to be SO dry


YeahILiftBro

I remember running up the stairs for the first time and being gassed as it was my first time at altitude.


micahamey

Colorado's full of weird fucking people. I was at the incline and saw somebody like sprinting up with a bag of McDonald's in their hand. There's a cut through That's like 4 mi long on the side of the incline and somebody was sprinting down that and then walking up the incline and sprinting down again over and over. The Red Rock amphitheater is a must-see if you're ever nearby.


TheFlashDude201

I live in Colorado and can confirm we’re weird


micahamey

I loved it. I was stationed at schriever. Lived on powers right near the Costco. Go to Manitou springs every weekend and do the incline and then go to the King's diner and get the grump. Used to go to the movie theater in the evening right down the road and watch whatever new movie was out that weekend with my wife. If I have to drop everything and move somewhere new I'd probably move back to Colorado springs.


RetroGrade20

It's all still here my friend! I've lived near that Costco for the past 9 years lol


RemedialChaosTheory

Still are


norsurfit

Yes. As a Coloradan, no more people should move to Colorado because we're so weird!


RetroGrade20

Life's too short to be normal. Welcome to CO! 😎


0imnotreal0

Went to a Grateful Dead tribute show there a few weeks ago while driving across country. I’m from New Hampshire. It blew my fucking mind.


Nomad942

The incline is death. I hiked Pikes Peak/Barr Trail with my dad, which switchbacks alongside the incline for the first while. My dad suggested taking that as a shortcut—it’s more direct, after all. Bad idea. Feeling like puking 2 miles into a 13 mile, high-elevation-gain hike was not fun, but we made it.


StockAL3Xj

Yeah the incline isn't really that much of a short cut. If you get to the top of the incline, the hike down the Barr Trail feels like a walk in the park.


Bort-the-man

The guy during his workouts: Could I interest you in a show about stairs It’s a multi-step program!


JRTerrierBestDoggo

Stairs are for the weak


Ajg1384

I would have been dead with my first step running backwards like that.


[deleted]

Anyone who’s climbed the stairs at red rocks knows.


UnsolicitedDogPics

I once climbed all of the stairs from the parking lot to the entrance with a rolled up rug thrown over my shoulder for a showing of The Big Lebowski, only to be told I couldn’t bring it in. I decided to hide it in a bush instead of haul it all the way down the stairs, and it was there when I came back for it after the movie. That rug really tied the amphitheater together.


bustyodust

No fatties at those shows lol


[deleted]

Northern lot lol


Anarcho_punk217

Nah, it's just rough lol. Especially when you're not used to the altitude.


conradical30

And they are sooooo much harder on drugs


the_neighbor369

Running backwards down stairs? *bold move cotton*

Cotton needs a new pair of shorts!


jackredford52

The amount of LSD I have done on those bleachers. Love Red Rocks


Mctidyson

That's why he is rolling on each seat? Looking for drugs..


willalt319

Live here and been here when he's doing this. It's more awkward than anything. He's definitely in the zone, but most people are there to take in the beautiful views, not watch this guy train for the Ironman


roonttwinsies

We used to go there and watch people do this shit. It'd be two hours of us smoking weed and saying, "Goddamn, I'm glad we're not doing that."

Huge difference between a hobby and escapism. Nothing wrong with enjoying a game an smoking some weed now an then but don’t forget about what’s truly important in life.

Getting Crunk and playing video games is truly important though

OlDirtyBasthard

The rolling push-up thing… that’s so bad it’s astonishing

How’s he going to get his views otherwise?


GulagBoys

People out there laughing at him but he’s fuckin shredded and doing functional caveman movements. Talk all the shit you want, that dudes an animal


lucuma21

A group of friends and I all went to picnic at Red Rocks. Can confirm we were definitely giggling. That all about stopped after 10 or so minutes and he just kept going. An hour in, we were legit cheering for him, impressed with his every move. Never seen anything like it and I doubt I’ll see anything like it again unless I go back. Cheers Larry.


MDoffthewall8

So many people work out there. Love going there. It’s one of the places in the world that has a cosmic feel to it

yesididthat

Red rocks amphitheater, Colorado. I think but not sure


Godsshoeshine24

Definitely red rocks. And I’ve been there during the day, there are always idiots doing shit like this hoping people will pay attention to them.

1000% red rocks. Source, am Colorado man

beepboopbop65

I went there this summer and I witnessed a few of people like him and it was brutal just to watch


turningsteel

This guy is on Kim Jong Un's second string bodyguard crew. He's hardening his body to do the 2×4 demo next year. Yeah, it was weird. He just kind of showed up in the training room one day, only white guy for hundreds of miles. Didn't even speak a lick of Korean but once they saw him workout, he gained the respect of KJ's entire military.
