It’s 3:54 and I can’t fall back asleep. Fuck it, I’ll try it.
Edit: so when you go to do this, your body weight wants to rock forward into the wall as soon as you start to stand up. I think it’s because my hips proportionately hinge lower to the ground, so my center of gravity is pulling me into the wall. I ended up making it upright but I pretty much had to walk my face up the wall to do it since my body wanted to fall forward the whole time.
I mean obviously if you lean forward enough without having skis on or being bolted to the stage Michael Jackson style, you’ll fall forwards, it’s like gravity? The guy just needs skis.
Also fun fact most men even Olympic level athletes can’t do a full proper crunch without having their feet stabilized, and almost every woman can. Fulcrum points and center of gravity differences in our builds.
You weight naturally drags forward thanks to the added weight of whatever you’re holding.
However a mix of flexing my ankle muscles and back muscles allowed me to stand without any issue.
I would not recommend doing this if you have back problems. The strain could hurt you.
I was originally gonna just leave it at, “this guy’s a dumbass” but I think the reality is his brain is only sending one command, “straighten your back” where as I quickly worked out that wasn’t good enough so I switched to “compensate for weight distribution, lean back, straighten back”
I had a book for stupid things like this when I was little….my favorite one that I can remember:
Find a door…look at it Edge-wise….stand right up against it, nose touching, hands at your sides, with the door going between your feet….now stand on your toes
wheres the malfunction? this was one of those socual media challenges years back. whats next posting ice bucket challenge and naming that people malfunctioning?
It’s so funny seeing all the people trying to talk about muscle and fat distribution between men and women. It ain’t that serious. It’s literally foot/shoe size.
I attempted this twice, once barefoot and once in my boots. I could do it barefoot with little struggle (the struggle comes from back issues). It was impossible while wearing my boots because my feet are sitting about 6” further back, meaning I had to lean further to put my head against the wall.
My wife and my mom were eager to see me try this with a chair but I could do it just fine? It was three steps away from the wall, bend over like this guy is doing, pick it up and straighten out.
All of us could do it, so I’m still unsure what makes it hard and why people say guys can’t do it? Next time I have some of my friends over, I’m going to have to see if they can do it.
Well now I need to try this
It’s a well known physical difference between men and women.

We gotta patch that ASAP.
I remember seeing this on a TV show years ago, women can do this easily, but men, can’t and if they force it, they’ll most likely fall over.

How fucked up is fucked up?
That’s fucked up.
Can you do Romanian deadlifts ? Because I feel like this is just Romanian deadlifts.

wtf. just did it, work fine
Without sound this looks like one of the spice tweakers bugging out!
Yeah he was stuck in the startup loop I thought you were going to have to hit The reset button.
Lift with your back in a twisting, jerking motion!
For a second I thought this was one of those videos of junkies high as hell doing the weird position hanging

I don’t really get it, it’s fairly easy to do
I have never understood this thing, so I finally gave it a go.

I’m a fairly regular dude, 6 ft, pretty average build.

Did it no problem, first try.
The woman laughing reminds me of the vid where [a woman was asking her husband to spell YES](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4ramoioWnw)
This is why they always say lift with your back while your head is against a wall and not with your knees
Woman’s feet are smaller and they are closer to the wall
I tried it.

Archie did it better
I would move that box toward the wall and then back and use the momentum to virtually shift my center of weight.

This is dumb. He could spend no dollars and still do this properly.

I watched this without sound and thought it was some one in fentanyl trying to steal a box lol.

My boy don’t know how to use his glutes or hammies

Heroine is a hell of a drug.
