good stuff TA...that is the true measure of strength IMO

thats nonsense... the true measure of strength is how much heavy stuff you can lift and move around, and for how long.. There are still people out there who have to move/lift really heavy shit as part of their physically demanding jobs, some of the strongest guys I have come across are dockyard workers and some furniture movers. This twink would die after 2 hours doing what some of these guys do for 8 - 10 hours a day 6-7 days a week.... I know you are having a go at bodybuilders but whatever ;D

Yes, not too sure if he is taking the piss or not, but this is not the true measure of strength. Its not really functional strength. True strength is being able to do certain activities that our bodies were meant to do i able to survive(from an evolutionary perspective). As you said, probably lifting. moving and carrying things all do, etc. Not hanging onto a bar.

True strength in an evolutionary sense would be the ability to store large amounts of fat very easily and keep it for extended periods of time, metabolizing it as slowly as possible. Some races, such as Native Americans, still live with that effect- the ability to gain and store fat easily and maintain it.

Awesome.
Yep, doing what he does is my goal.

Okay, makes sense. But in terms of physical activity in which one needed to survive. I would assume that this would include carrying and moving things for extended periods of time. Not swinging and hanging on a bar for 5 minutes.

Very true.

Maybe a 140lbs? I used to do this type of stuff all the time when I was in my early 20's.

-Frank is excellent
-why everyone must do heavy physical job for living ???
-why people (like Frank) must prove to someone how strong is he ???
-dockyard work is now mostly machinery work,furniture removalist o please
-other point:how many of those hard physical labourers can do Franks workout :P
-if you ever visit Sydney, I'll take you to North Bondi beach outdoor gym & you will see dozens Franks/Frankets
-or just look for Bondi beach outdoor gym on Youtube ;)

Im affraid im gonna have to agree. He s not strong, he s ripped and muscular, has nothing to do with being strong. He might have stamina to lift small stuff or run) for a long period of time but strenght? How is he going to move heavy objects any better than someone who is heavier? Simple, he wont. It's like that basketball player i know who spend a lot of time shooting alone on the local playground, incredibly streaky...as long as he doesnt play against oposition; then he gets blocked, cant attack the rim, isnt physical enough...he just look good in a drill like shooting contest. Yes he can shoot, alone. But playing basketball with all of what it implies, being part of team? nope. He disappears. He 's one dimensional but he only has fun showing off that part of him.
You guys are confusing a lot of things. Now im not going to call him a twink or call him names either tho, as long as he doesnt pretend to be "strong". Moving your own bodyweight has nothing to do with being strong. Strong people with heavy muscular physiques (or not muscular i know fat people who are strong) are strong. I dont know any skinny people who s "strong". They re simply better at doing other kind of tasks, very repetitive, obsessive, fast moving of smaller items for example. He might be a good soldier or cross training runner too. He has the body / mind for that kind of stuff.
He s just showing off in this video, just like the shooter i talked about earlier, in a perfectly mastered environment. But get him out of this environment , and he wouldnt be able to adapt. We re all designed by our genes to do some tasks better than others.
As a ripped small ecto myself i perfectly know what I'm talking about. I m as muscular and ripped and know he probably doesnt eat much daily, except i dont do the gymnast stuff he does. My body (and somehow, mind) tho is perfectly suited for the tasks at my job. It's long gone the time i thought my little muscles could challenge the muscularity/frame of someone genetically bigger. There s nothing sadder than someone who spends his life thinking he is something(someone) he isnt. Most ecto teens who discover weight lifting often think they ve become like the big muscular endos and mesos, but after a while we all grow out of it. Well except for the steroid users who want to go beyond their genetical predispositions and want to become endos/mesos, rejecting their natural somatotype.

Very true. This guy is not going to be benching 275 lbs or even 250 lbs. I wouldn`t call him strong either.
I was actually being facetious with "epic" in the title. I wanted to see if anyone would bite on it and if anyone would claim he wasn`t natural. haha

You and me both. I suck at lifting weights for the most part. I am good at a few things, but I will never be a great lifter at all with long arms and and no ability to have any forearm muscles as a result.
The difference between us and everyone and else is I think is that we are okay with that and accept it and see no need to do anything but deal with it and do the best we can with what we have got.

this is true
alot of these fitness bodies are pretty and pamperd and dieted , well recoverd and rested, pose for pictures
a real man=over worked long hours, under rested, eating what he can get his hands on, accomplishes alot

He is 130?

The guy in the video is all vegetarian by the way. No meat or eggs either.
-
Is he not strong in a sense? strength is relative, he was lifting himself with one arm with ease in a pullup motion, so if he weighs 130lbs shouldn't a 230lb guy be able to do the same?

Cswol lifts big weights and is strong

Nope.

Now this dude is ready for the zombie apocalypse!!
-
I'd like to see some of you "strong beasts" even try to do what he is doing in the video. You could not. The guy is actually very strong and good at what he does, just like you guys are at lifting weights, there is no crossover, skill is specific. Although I did read about gymnasts benching/deadlifting a lot without ever lifting a weight before, who knows.
-
Epic video, thanks for sharing. Lol at guys hating the dude for being 'skinny' seriously... da hell?
First bodybuilder that tries to even swing any way will have a broken joint, bone, tendon, torn muscle. Try it.
-
Oh btw back on topic about the vid and this dude...
it's nice and all, but there's no way anyone will do that kind of calisthenic crap past their 30s if they have to work for a living, have a family and dont artificially increase their test levels by using steroids. It's some kind of fun stuff you do as a teen, maybe young adult for a while, to release your anger and excess testosterone, to impress the ladies and conquer one to breed with, but we all age and focus on more mature things later in life -like reproducing and raising an offspring, stoping to focus only on ourselves-. We re not suposed to do that kind of stuff for too long because it destroys your body after a while, especially when you reach your 30s and the body doesnt repair itself as fast as it did when you were full of test as a teen.
Also it has basically no real life use except if it becomes an olympic discipline like gymnastic for example. I dont know if anyone is making money out of it? Still it's better to stay lean and slightly muscular enough all life long to live longer, that's for sure. It's probably healthier than being a fat endo or a meso on steroids.

Uh, Kali Muscle does some "swing any way".

Guy's everyone who was doing heavy manual work all his life suffer from health
issues (let's say miners) & they don't make to 70 or 80.

The oldest man in the world just died today and he was a coal miner and laborer. :-\

Could be, but he was just 1 of handfull.
Working physically hard jobs for decades simply sucks.

There are people who work hard demanding physical jobs and die very old... There are people who work hard demanding physical jobs and die sooner...
It's a lot more complicated than that. Anyone who s healthy , doesnt smoke, drink, abuse food /drugs/stress and has a decent physical activity and the physique suited for said activity will adapt and live long barring no genetical illness like cancer etc.
It's all about how you adapt, forcing things is never recommended. I know ectos , mesos and endos who can take a beating 40 to 50 hours of physical job a week without taking too much damage as long as they dont abuse an unehalthy lifestyle , most of the time caused by psychological problems. Most of the time they re depressed not because of the job, but because of personal problems, which cause them to use drugs to cope. Some dont do any drugs, lift weights moderatly, have stable families, they re doing just fine and will probably "last long" enough to see their kids grow up.
Know yourself and find your place accordingly , it's all about creating the best conditions for your survival taking what you re capable of realistically into consideration.

Well, anything sucks if you dont want to do it whatever the reasons you dont want to do it. It's all about how you see things and how you let yourself discouraged, influenced by others and their states of mind. Look at spongebob squarepants, he s perfectly fine making crabby patties, while squidward who convinced himself he should be a movie star or professional musician instead of a cashier is frustrated all day long. His state of mind is creating the frustration. If you cant find a reason to enjoy what you re doing nobody will for you.

Lol having a manual job past forty sucks. Not that it's something to aspire to before then, either.

He is probably about 5'3 and 140lb

Frank has a pretty good level for a bodyweight enthusiast. He may have done gymnastics when he was younger. To uberman's point he looks over 30, and I'm not sure if he is or is not natural. If that is his physique year round I might doubt it a bit as I think it would be tough to maintain that level of bodyweight with a heavy training load without some assistance.
Of course he is no where near the bodyweight strength level of professional gymnasts or even the Russian compettitive bodyweight guys.
Watch the video and you will see that the feats these guys are doing are truly amazing. Granted they have this bodyweight strength at the expense of lower body strength, but it terms of upper body these guys have very high relative strength across a very broad range of movements.

well said.
a good thing bodybuilding(natural bb) taught me when I was serious(lmao) about it was that it taught me how to eat, how to lose weight, how to train and just a healthy lifestyle. My peers at 30 looks like absolute garbage. Even the guys at 25 look older than me. Skinny/fat with shitty skin eating like shit, smoking, drinking too much every weekend etc. Doing that for a decade takes it toll and it shows on them. and every single one of them tell me how young I look. Idiots are to Clueless to understand that they are the ones prematurely aging..

Yeah any excessive activity takes a toll on you instead of making you last longer. Also it is absolutely dumb to want to go beyond your genetically determined somatotype / constitutional psychology. You better adapt to it the best you can, adapt your lifestyle to it. And again, just because you focus solely on something in your 20 s doesnt mean you re going to keep at it for the rest of your life, whats the point of being juiced in your 20s and fat in your 40s because for some reason you stopped it all and dont have the will to lift anymore without the drugs.

Video is very impressive. Although its all bodyweight exercising I have to imagine the odd angles and pressures must be hell on your joints.
Thats what I don't get about crossfit. You can achieve the same look (lean, ripped, fit, six pack) on a more conventional weight routine and diet and exercise. Crossfit seems like it is prone to serious overtraining.
-
those joints are screwed
