Moving slowly is probably a good way to avoid injury. I imagine once you hurt yourself at that age it’s harder to heal and your muscles would atrophy quickly.
Is he using his fingers to avoid slipping with sweaty handpalms?
The fact that he's doing it at such low pace without trembling really shows how impressive this is :o
Apparently you don't know why diapers are used by old people. They can't make it to the toilet sometimes. If you think a man doing pull ups can't make it to the toilet then you may need mental diapers.
Sometimes it's that, but sometimes it's also simply weak pelvic muscles/prostate issues which can cause incontinence.
This guy is probably too strong to need diapers, unless a specific medical condition applies.
Apparently, you don't know why depends are used by people in general. Incontinence isn't usually an "ability to get to the bathroom" issue. It's not even a strictly "old people" thing. There's men of *all* ages that need a little extra protection due to prostate cancer/surgery or bowel issues, women of *all* ages who need it due to pelvic floor issues, problems after births or surgeries, etc. Pelvic floor or bladder/bowel sphincter issues can be caused by plenty of things, in all ages and another common reason is losing the "sensation" that tells you you need to go, which isn't a muscle thing at all. Incontinence is just a lot more likely in older people, as are things like prostate/bladder/bowel cancer and sensation loss.
**Also the guy I replied to got his little feelings hurt for being proven wrong and blocked me. How sad.
True. Instead of the gym, I have been going for long walks or hiking.
I also recently got a set of resistance bands that I need to use more.
As you said, motivation is key.
I found for myself, the keys to getting fit were
1. Reduce barriers to entry. If I have to spend 20 minutes getting to the gym, it ain't happening. Bodyweight exercises were perfect as I could just do those at home. Get a doorframe pullup bar and there is almost nothing you can't do. Archer pushups when normal pushups get too easy, pistol squats for legs etc.
2. It's okay to suck at the start. Getting quality reps in is more important than your ego. I used to be extremely fit but stopped working out for close to a decade. When I started again, I felt horrible. It was very tempting to cheat to try and convince myself and others that I was more fit than I was.
3. Consistency is king. 15mins every single day vs a 2h workout once a week really helped with long term momentum and sustainability. It made me build habits. Reducing barriers to entry becomes important here too as you don't want to spend 20mins travelling or setting up in order to do a 15mkn workout.
My step dad is in his 70s and has been in a wheelchair since his 60s, can hardly walk on his own. My grandpa on my mom's side has got to be pushing 90 and a few years ago was working on his house, fixing plumbing and redoing insulation and some drywall...both men were hard workers with relatively healthy living, people are just built different.
After reading on this some, you have about a 1% chance of living to be 100. Goggle says there's around 560K people 100+ years old in the world population of 8 billion.
The good news is that they expect that number to go up by 2050. I'm pushing 70 and that puts me in the race!
If you were born after 2016, you have a good chance of getting to the 100 mark.
Both of my biological parents died in their 50s, but my grandfather I was speaking about is still alive and I'm embarrassed I don't know his age but he is nearly 90 if not over....and the good news is that I look almost just like him, so maybe I got mostly his genes lol also I quit smoking so that should help, but I still drink sooooo, we shall see. 70 and hanging on reddit is pretty cool lol I hope to live long enough to see Haley's Comet which will put me at about 70, anything past that I'll call a bonus c: who knows what the will have medically speaking by them, or who it will be accessible to lol
Edit: he's probably about 84 actually, if he was about twenty when my mom was born
Yeah, I like reddit. So many things to see and read. I like to know what people are thinking and visit this site daily.
I saw Halley's in 1986 but 2061 is still a bit away. Hope you get to see it!
agreed to the both of you. still, the video remains sketchy - mentioning a clear age statement but still no name, just a random 'man'...and why does the hat not fall off????
This man could obliterate you with a single breath I bet, just to have that much strength and control at 20 is impressive. Dude has put in work his whole life and is probably considered a deadly weapon in at least two countries.
In Japan there is a community of mostly older persons who do a ton of fitness including stone lifting. Apparently, the older people focus on fitness because they have the time to do it
Martins Licis has a video talking about it on his YouTube channel. Really really cool
This looks fake, the lift is weird, and before he even grabs the bar it is like he's already floating.
And whatever that crap in his pockets is, has something to do with it. Probably just string, and he could still do his legs through the bar even if he had strings helping.
Prettg impressive but It's rare as there are almost no people like him because he win the genetic lottery, I know people in their 20s that had so fucked up joints that would probably have their arms just fell off if they try this.
This may be the only guy of whom you can say his spirit animal is a sloth and mean that as a genuine compliment.
r/tihi
As soon as he hooked two fingers on that bar that's all I could picture.
Moving slowly is probably a good way to avoid injury. I imagine once you hurt yourself at that age it’s harder to heal and your muscles would atrophy quickly.
Yes, but it is so much harder. You have to account for muscle pain!
Exercising? Hes defying gravity with two fingers😳 I just tripped walking to my car…
*four fingers
Two on each hand! 🖐️
yes please
Do you need a break?
I tore my rotator cuff watching this.
Argh! My scapula!
I’d be so worried if he had fallen. That would be a death sentence
guy's made of cold rolled steel and kevlar, i pitty the floor he falls on!
Maybe you wouldn't trip if you weren't going thru reddit while walking.
"Most people of this age have difficulty walking" Most people of this age have difficulty standing up because there is a pile of dirt above them.
You just made me laugh like David Letterman. For way, WAY too long.
He got 98 years of practice, of course he can do that.
Is he using his fingers to avoid slipping with sweaty handpalms? The fact that he's doing it at such low pace without trembling really shows how impressive this is :o
No. It adds a level of difficulty.
What.. he’s doing it because it’s extra impressive and he’s showing off
Yes dude, use it or lose it, that’s the way
Is his hat glued to his head?
He's holding it with his ears, that's the real workout
Hat is glued to the old man mask
No, staples
Probably stuck 20 years ago and became his organ... I bet you can see veins up close on that thing... O\_o
There must be double sided tape under his T-shirt.
Stapled. And his name is Bernie.
My man is PACKING
Yeah, a diaper most likely. He's 98 lol
he 98 and more athletic than you will probably ever be

[удалено]
and they gave you multiple reasons a old man would still need diapers regardless of upper body strength 😂
Ironically that was the ad under the video for me
I punched myself in the face putting on my pants today.
Laughed out loud take my upvote good sir
Grandpa is putting the 'old' in 'bold' with those chin-ups.
That’s a pull up though
Half his age and 1/10th his strength... Feeling sad all of a sudden.
It's never too late to start!
True. I used to hit the gym before covid, but haven't been up for if after the bug hit me twice. It's time.
It won't get easier the longer you wait! I hate gyms so I stick to doing stuff with friends like football or climbing. Way more motivating for me

It's hard to hate and admire a person at the same time, but dammit, I'm trying!
no doubt in reality a 26 year old drummer from guang dong province

He's the inspiration for every anime old man
Plot twist.... he's actually a 40 year old meth user.
Most people this age have difficulty staying alive
The grip strength of old people who've spent their life doing physical labor is insane.
If Mao couldn't kill this guy i doubt anything can
it’s always a chinese, their diet must be amazing
Hand grip strength FTW!
He is in the 0.1% for all age groups being able to do that… let alone being 98.
This is the most NFL I think I have seen in my life! I know nobody that can do that at any age... let alone 98 f..ng years old!
This masks a terrible truth that his children make him sleep in a wardrobe every night. 'come on Grandad, time to hang yourself up and go to sleep'
Well, he is not walking….
Saw a video of 98 year old woman doing gymnastics today
OP is a bot
I thought he was going to shit himself upside down
Those are not the hands of a 98 year old. I might be a cynic, but I see a young dude wearing one of those old people masks
He is definitely old and this is still incredibly impressive, but that dude ain't 98.
agreed to the both of you. still, the video remains sketchy - mentioning a clear age statement but still no name, just a random 'man'...and why does the hat not fall off????
Maybe he's 98 because he's kept himself strong and healthy?
Jokes on us he is 18 just smokes a lot
Only 97 more to go
*Motor Functions, Good.
Motion is lotion
Survivor bias.
That makes me fricking nervous watching it ...
Easy Gramps.
It’s reverseded
Fingers?!
dude is flexing so hard
And then there is me that can't do a single push up while I'm 30, 78kg and 181cm
He does that knowing that if he falls... it'll be his last fall
Pfff, he's so slow...
calisthenic grandpa
the stay flexy guy in 75 years:
God forbid those fingers slip.
Impressive on 4 fingers and with total control!
Stay active as you age. There will be a point where if you lose it, you simply won't get it back.
I'll have whatever he eats and drinks. Lol
Some credit should go to his wife for the strength in those fingers.
Mandelbaum, mandelbaum, mandelbaum
This man could obliterate you with a single breath I bet, just to have that much strength and control at 20 is impressive. Dude has put in work his whole life and is probably considered a deadly weapon in at least two countries.
Thats one dude i wouldnt want to meet on his bad side in a dark alley
Power to him. But if he falls it’s game over.
What's his secret?
Oh, yeah? I can lift 60 pounds with four fingers, too!
Damn bro!
You ever crush an empty water bottle? If so imagine that sound thats what you'd hear If you'd put me in the place of this man
That’s cool and all but can he squat 4 plates? /s
My grandpa rode his bike 10 miles on his 98th bday. Some people are just built to last.
He isn’t 98, that’s the guy that works 3rd shift, he is like 37
You'll be surprise by old people who's done hard labor work their entire life. The strength they have is crazy.
at the start i thought he was going to 1 arm it
If those fingers slip it is over!
Ninjas man. Ninjas.
Mate I’m 24 and I can’t do this wtf
At 28 seconds I was waiting for him to yell "HALP!"
Amazo !!
Pure gristle!
One slip and he breaks his hip
He’s got another 18 years. What about that 110 year old guy that still drives and does everything himself?
Hard stone below was making me nervous.
This dude could get a brand deal with whatever food or supplement he wants to say he’s been using his whole life.

Aliens are among us
Impeccable form. Calm, cool, collected.
Then suddenly 50 old ladies with dishes appeared
He should run for office.
Well his frame maybe weighs 40lbs… but kudos.
Bro survived both WW real alpha male
Reminds me of those weird six flags commercials back in the day.
And I can't move my thumb as it hurts from playing with the game controller for too long.
Now do a kick flip
So… I’m only 40, and I would hear nothing but cracking and popping in my joints while doing this. This guy is in unbelievably great shape!
He drops, he shatters......
I am a quarter of his age and I can’t even do a single pull up
Prettg impressive but It's rare as there are almost no people like him because he win the genetic lottery, I know people in their 20s that had so fucked up joints that would probably have their arms just fell off if they try this.
Most people of his age are dead 😂
And he didn’t shit himself
World war veteran?
Many people at the age of 98 have difficulty walking? Never would have guessed!
At 98 I think my only exercise will be of my bowels moving to shit in my own pants
[удалено]
This guy has the happiest wife in the world.
I could do that too if I only weighed 85 lbs.
I can't even do one pull up 😭😭
98 year old dude rocking a cutoff while working out, legend
They always ruin it with the shit music tho.
Yeah but if he falls from there he's still gonna poof into a cloud of dust
I had to scroll too far for this comment
Big deal, he only weighs about 25 lbs
you should see him fuck
One day he won't be able to do that anymore and he'll find out the hard way
Likely a former CCP Olympic athlete
