[Cruiserplayer]

No

 

But he can't do what I do for a living either. 

 

True, not many out there who can fit that much in their mouth

[Pete]

No doubt the rope is harder.  I do push-ups feet on stability ball, And lower on bosu ball

 

nfl freaks do much more to impress me

i love the nfl training videos

Chains? Big deal. He should try carrying the weight on @ExiledInIllinois‘s shoulders!!

Josh Norman can attest to Henry's upper body strength and balance. 

And bouncing off him as if shot with a giant elastic band

What a racist comment to think he can't clean toilets.  

[Tcali]

if you are a pushup guy ..or even if not--you have to be impressed with the band and the balance component.Without the stability it puts tremendous pressure on the whole upper and lower body.

I could do one. Then I would end up in traction from breaking my old man neck.

That's not a push up!

 

This is a push up:

 

 

[LeGOATski]

No problem. Even my grandma can do that.

 

She's also 6'2", 225, and runs a 4.5 forty.

That exercise is all about firing and working the stabilizer muscles that are nearly impossible to work any other way. 
 

Exercises like that are why his contact balance is so good and he is so durable.

It’s very easy to pull something. I’m surprised they let him do it at all. His feet aren’t stable and the bar isn’t stable. There really isn’t any advantage doing that way either. A gymnast would probably yell at him.

Agree on the creates instability

 

Not at all questioning you, but wondering if you could explain in more detail why you see what he's doing as very very dangerous?

This man nailed it. Dare I say it, it’s easier to tear something as well, not just pull.. Lots of stress on the tendons and ligaments.

Come on! Is that even a heavy chain? We cant tell!

No doubt that while going down there’s instability, especially while going down, which takes energy on Henry’s part to counteract. But he’s getting assistance going upwards. You can see the band contracting during his upstroke. That’s giving him assistance. This is high school physics. In fact, I bet he’s expending more energy down down than up, despite the show chains. 

 

Not to be pedantic about it, but it is actually just the opposite.  Doing a push up is forcing you to extend your arms.  It would be easier if the band was stretching and expanding on the up stroke.  If that were the case, when he straightens his arms that would mean he is not lifting his entire weight because some of his extension would be made easier by pushing the band down.  

 

It is a center of mass thing.  It is a similar principle to how kicking makes it easier to do pull ups.

I would be more impressed if he wasn’t using the elastic band. Looks like it is providing some amount of energy to his upwards motion.

 

This is about core and balance more than strength. Stiff bar would make this exercise alot easier.

Doesn't help him in the playoffs though...

I think Tenacious-D had a better pushup routine... I cannot post the video though. (Not sure if it's bad)

[Beast]

I do them with @Royale with Cheese wife sitting on my back. 

 

Lets see Henry do that.
