That's like posting a video of an MMA fighter beating the shit out of another fighter and saying "could a FIFA championship soccer player take any of those punches/kicks without dying?"
You're comparing apples and grapefruits.

Could a Mr. Olympia contender out run a jogging soccer mom in a mile run?  It's not apples to oranges. It's the difference between being an athlete and just cosmetically looking like an athlete.  Most bodybuilders can't lift their body weight from the floor to over head.

Some of those feats on that tape were just bs. Shallow dip with a lot of weight was one. Another is doing a pull up when your chin barely reaches the bar. A pull up is complete when your elbows are completely down and the bar is near the upper chest well past your chin.

I've been alive for 30 plus years and I've never been in a situation where I had to do a Dragon Press.

Yes This -- 56 yrs & never been in a situation to do a dragon press.

Some very strange 'excercises' and equally strange form.
The thumb press ups - some of the 1 arm chins - were cool.

[Simple Simon]

All essential skills for your next job interview....

All that right there is the definition of functional strength.  None of this dragon press,  muscle-ups with tyres bullcrap. Nice party tricks though.

[ratherbebig]
