That's not that hard at all.....most of those guys displayed some great strenght but each guy only did the pull up stuff for a short period of time. Any decent athlete can do that by just doing pull ups and dips for a few weeks, mabey a couple months. That's all.

I think you're off on this...that was not easy stuff and most guys could not do it...most guys can't even do a decent pullup...they think they can but sorry, the can't. Those guys in that clip demonstrated some great control over their bodies and you got to have very good strength to be able to do that. Of course having some BS rap music and a bunch of guys yelling "yeah, yeah" and all that does make it more "hardcore" lol!

That isn't too difficult but will take practice.

i used to do "flying" pullups where i would pull as hard as a could and launch myself up to where my waist was almost level with the pull up bar and then catch myself on the way down. it took me a few months to be able to do this at 230 pounds. once i got the hang of it i started doing them in the power cage using the rectangle box edge as the pull up bar, so i was doing them with my hands on a flat edge. this actually made my hands and forearms strong as hell. i do recommend using chalk when doing them on a flat box edge, as you can bust your ass very easily.

either way, that video is quite impressive.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with Steroids and I'm disappointed.

LOL there are these dudes at my gym and when they do pull ups it is the most ridiculous thing I have seen.  They do this whole body kick with their legs to get some momentum with their legs so they can jerk themselves up with everymuscle in their body, looks more shoulders and low back/legs than anything.  And they are these hardcore circuit trainers  ::) and think they have so much functional strength but they clearly do not.  Pull ups should be done with your feet crossed behind you, at least thats how I have always done them.

Heh, there are a few jokers like that in my gym as well.  They are the same guys who do the ultra-wide grip pull downs letting the weight pull their body up almost to the pulley and then yanking the weight down with the force of their whole body.
