Huge props to putting ACTUALLY impossible things in the impossible category and not just things that require a superb amount of muscular strength and control.
Agreed. I also would've put Broye's thumb-stand push-ups from Uma Musume: Pretty Derby in the "impossible" category, because like, imagine doing handstand push-ups, but you support and balance your entire body weight on your thumbs.
Do it. Some of these moves are impossible to learn without it. And I don't mean the ones in the video, I mean things in general calisthenics will be so much harder without it.
Yeah, definitely need to start working on mine. Just watching this dude move around so effortlessly is making me reflect on what I've been doing in my workouts
Yep! In fact, the whole franchise has no impossible movements or exercises, since every bending scene was performed by real people so that the animators could be as realistic as possible with the fight scenes. Granted, these people are incredibly talented (very hard is called that for a reason) but they are still real.
@@jasonbell8515it isn’t completely realistic since mfs like jet can die with a boulder at him while aang can survive being scorched alive by ozai under a rock shell
I'm one of those people that can barely do situps and my resounding record for normal pushups was around 20 when I was younger. But I have to admit, I was transfixed watching this to see what a honed human body is actually capable of. Props to those guys that narrowed that list of 'impossible' moves by demonstrating that they actually can be done with much practice and skill. I have to wonder if the animators themselves even thought a normal human could do some of those things.
I like that you show that the exercise can be done using everyday objects and in common tasks. I love that you show correct form and cheating or "underfitting" - what the suboptimal exercise looks like. Seeing the mistakes is more important than the "correct" thing itself.
Another aspect of Yujiro's training was that he was swimming against a strong current, too. 20 km/h for an hour against a strong current. It would be amazing power to achieve.
@@xellzor true, but its done with great taste. He still gets outsmarted and doesn't always gets his way which drags him back into the realm of "reality" in the minds of the viewers. The author simply knows how to write a ridiculously overpowered character without making it idiotic.

Years? Brother do better. I did 500 push ups every day for 1 week and a half and achieved it. It doesn't have to take years, a couple months maximum. I recommend you to do 10, rest, do 10, rest, until the day it's over. At the end you will have achieved more than 500
@@leonelbaez1785 You're probably right, this was just the experience with my very specific training routine of a mix of planks, sit-ups and push-ups twice a week (my schedule didn't allow for much more). Nothing hardcore obviously, but with steady progress. With a more consistent and thorough routine like you described, it might be possible much faster.
Baki stance isn't about much strength, it's about technique. Chris Heria did it cold without practice, while Calisthenics movement guy said he trained before for it

I have always been wondering about the one arm handstand pushup. In the book convict conditioning, the author claims he has witnessed it in proper form, but couldn't find a single person who could demonstrate it for the book. I think it is great that there are still basic feats of strength that have not yet been achieved by mankind.
I've seen someone do the one arm handstand while his feet was being balanced by a wall, so I think they are probably people out there who can do it without needing balance assistance.
One thing to consider is muscle strength to body mass ratio. This is obviously important for feats that involve moving your own body weight. Strength generally correlates to the length of the muscle, while mass is the cube. So a person half as tall will be half as strong but an eighth as heavy... a normal person has to lift his whole body with one arm (1:1), while a half-size person lifts a eighth that weight with a half-strength arm (1/2 : 1/8 = 4:1). Historically, dwarves often trained in acrobatics because they were able to easily perform feats that even the largest men could never achieve. If you want to find someone who can do this particular task, I recommend finding the strongest and smallest person possible.
@@HerculesBallsInc i fully agree with you. i have done poses similar to the baki cross leg posee, no problem, out of the blue with no training, as a ten year old but just two or three years later i just couldn't do it any more, and it's not just the extra weight i gained growing up, but also the loss in flexibility. i'd also like to add that balance shifts with size, the taller you are and the more weight there is to bear, the more of your muscle mass is going to be concentrated in your legs, especially if you have an active life style, which makes balancing anything where you're upside down much more difficult. for a one handed push up, you'd need to find someone who is short, lean and has disproportionately large hands.
@@sonzai5162 delts also look bigger than they are because they incircle the shoulder bone structure. In the case of lats, tho, they are actually very big in volume, not just wide in one direction. If you flex one of your lats them and touch it with the other arm you can actually feel how big they are
@@subakiyuga1873 Quite clearly not. The planted arm also supports the legs on its elbow, so with good weight distribution it's entirely possible. Clearly you need to be strong, fit and supple, but that goes for all of these poses.
In Berserk's defence, there was a thing going on between the lines how Guts was beginning to become something supernatural himself after everything that happened to him/he was involving himself with and that's why he was able to use the Dragon Slayer the way he could.
I love how he explains that lifting a 300 pounds sword with just an arm is impossible for humans even though we have not probably thought of it before and don't even we have a 300 pounds sword in our garage.
no, you have not tought of it before, lots of people had and all failed, and leverage proves its impossible, let alone picking up the sword, is impossible to hold it while standig up
@@matsim0 yeah, you need to keep you center of mass alined with the base you make with your feet, when holding something, it shifts away from that alignment, and it will make you tip over .

I'm not sure why this is never talked about but I'll say it in case it helps some people. When it comes to push-ups there's more that comes into play than just body weight as your resistance, as the force you're pushing against is centered on your feet as the fulcrum push-ups get exponentially more difficult the taller you are. So for you kings and queens that are vertically gifted make sure you don't overdo it by forcing yourself to do full push-ups if you're just starting your workout journey, you could end up hurting yourself or even just demotivating yourself by how difficult they are. It's okay and probably better for you to start off with knee push-ups or from an elevated position like a chair, or even both. The goal isn't to hurt yourself, and small improvements are better than spending multiple days of down time because you pulled a muscle.
@@channeldoesnotexist I see how my wording could be misinterpreted. I meant that as your feet are the fulcrum point of the action of a push-up, so the force exerted is from your arms, but the lever point being further away makes the action require more force to complete, not that the force is applied to the feet. Also it is an exponential growth of force required when height + weight are increased, if you only increase one then it would be linear, but seeing as taller people almost always weigh more it wouldn't make sense to think that way for most people.
As we get older closer to our 40s and 50s and beyond, men who weight lift at the gym should reconsider replacing it for calisthenics and core balance exercises. It will keep us looking good, with the additional benefit of strengthening our tendons and ligaments, improving our balance by strengthening not only the balance muscles, but it bolsters and increases the connectivity and health of our motor cortex. It also helps with maintaining flexibility and mobility as we age. mean while, extreme weight training deteriates joints and many people after 20 years of weight training heavily suffer from muscular skeletal issues because we always go hard on the gym as men. TRAIN FOR LONGEVITY, not FOR LOOKS. I would love to reach my 80's and still be able to exercise like if im 20 and that should be the long term goal for both women and men.
Thank you! Finally someone to properly tell you how to do Baki? Honestly there’s nothing on the internet with actual tips or exercises besides pseudo push-ups and pseudo leans and stuff like that. The only issue I have is pretty much releasing one arm and hold lol which is the hardest part.
Dear internet, About 2 years ago, (when I was in 8th grade) I watched a video showcasing people attempting the Baki pose but then proceeding to do a push up. If someone can find the video, I would greatly appreciate it. All I know is that the last attempt of the video had a dude doing a HUGE ROM for the pose. (I'd say it was about 160 to 95 degrees) The person had a black compression sleeve and that's all I remember. Can someone find this video I have failed to. My best guess is that it was fake somehow, but it was a compilation of the closest attempts.
I've had a rollercoaster relationship with fitness. I'm currently starting out all over again, and your videos are going to help me a lot. Thank you so much for including the easier options for those of us who don't have the chops to do the traditional exercise off the jump!
Amazing! Not only did you show a tier list of the moves but a progression so that we can begin practicing these. Awesome job man thank you. You got an instant subscribe outta me
I know right? This is the first time I've seen exercises shown with easier versions to work your way up to the full version. Back in my school days, all we were taught in gym class was simply to do fewer number of those exercises, never taught that we could do similar but simpler ones to eventually be able to properly do those forms.
What about Uncle Iroh's inverted crunches? He hangs upside-down from a pull-up bar, supporting his entire weight by the top of his feet, and does crunches like that... Is it even possible?
I’ve never actually seen anyone properly do Baki’s one hand pose. He’s completely and totally parallel, I’d say it’s borderline in possible to do properly.
The fact that one real human can do the Baki Pose is insane. You should also include the pose that Ip Man does in the middle of the fight against Mike Tyson
Watching Alex doing that wall split made me think that he ate the Gomu Gomu no mi fruit :D And looks like real life Saitama also Bringing anime exercises into the real world,what a time to be alive :DD Great video
When I was in highschool I could basically do a legless rope climb almost effortlessly just because I was a such a light framed person. It was literally easier for me to only use my arms. I didn't do it in that "L hang" position though.
Something to remember with most of these difficult exercises; they work best for lighter weights. I remember a Sasuke episode where an American triathlete competed. Dude is fit, and completed up to the third course, but due to his large size, over six foot and accompanying body mass, he failed at the near entirety upper body hell that is the third course. The men who pass that course, universally, are under 150 pounds. That is to say, your muscles can support a certain amount of weight, and even increasing their size does not increase that ratio. Also why the power index for most light weights tends to be insane, in comparison to anyone in the heavy weights.
I've been training my shoulders to lift heavy swords, and most the training they do in Anime tells little how you can do it. You can start with holding the bar bell behind you with and swinging it side to side like a pendulum, first with arms bent until you have proper control then go to straight arms. The next step is swing it from behind you in front of you with your pendulum swing . You can increase the weight as well but be careful and do small weights.
oh didn't know there's a comment similar to mean with heavy sword training. but I also added that if you want to swing something that's over 20 pounds just use the heavy bar like a staff. once you are used to it than use them as swords so we wont break or lose a body part. like shoulders or back. I swing my 24 pound fantasy sword like a katana. I can only do 50 swings without stopping and haven't beat the record yet. XD I even got the odin training hammer just to get used to the sword better.
The guys in this video have a really nice phisique and amazing streght and control, as well as top notch balance. It takes a lot of discipline to reach that level. Kudos to them!
Thanks for making this video. I came for the anime but thanks to the easy versions i actually started doing some exercise. I am obese since childhood and never ... considered doing any exercises while brushing my teeth or while waiting on the pc. Thanks a lot !
I missed the time before Covid where almost everyday I go to the gym after school. But this video inspires me to get back to my good habit and want to try the impossibe to be possible
Brooooooo congratulations for the banger video. I never thought baki pose could be done for real. So far, I am at the medium level, practicing explosive push ups. Still cannot do the clap push up but you gave me super cool motivation to keep working.
Haish, Saitama is the hardest. Imagine, In the summer before doing the squad, you only eat banana, then run 10km without rest, push up, sit up then squad, after that go home and sleep, also dont turn on the AC. Repeat this everyday until you get bald.
The wall split is one of the easier exercises IMO, it's definitely possible with 1-2 years of flexibility training, whereas one arm pull-ups (and the other exercises in Very Hard category) require A LOT of strength that sometimes people just cannot achieve, even with training. Would move it to hard or medium.
@@coiaasaleatroias2845nah it is fr not an anime. Fucking hate it how so many people seriously think it really is an anime. Like hell, do ya even know what an anime is?
@@coiaasaleatroias2845 Why do so many people think it is an anime? Like seriously, so many people think it is an anime, they prolly don’t even know what anime means.
Watching this video made me realize how much fun it would be to try out anime-inspired exercises! I'm always up for a challenge, and ranking them from easy to impossible sounds like a blast. Maybe I should film myself attempting these exercises and share the results on my channel. It could be a great way to engage with fellow anime fans and fitness enthusiasts!
Ps. Be careful with one arm pullup. I could do 25 nornal pullups, and tried to train for one arm pullup (using towel) but damaged my elbow. 8 years later I can still feel it when under large strain.

As we get older closer to our 40s and 50s and beyond, men who weight lift at the gym should reconsider replacing it for calisthenics and core balance exercises.
It will keep us looking good, with the additional benefit of strengthening our tendons and ligaments, improving our balance by strengthening not only the balance muscles, but it bolsters and increases the connectivity and health of our motor cortex. It also helps with maintaining flexibility and mobility as we age.
mean while, extreme weight training deteriates joints and many people after 20 years of weight training heavily suffer from muscular skeletal issues because we always go hard on the gym as men. TRAIN FOR LONGEVITY, not FOR LOOKS. I would love to reach my 80's and still be able to exercise like if im 20 and that should be the long term goal for both women and men.
Thank you! Finally someone to properly tell you how to do Baki? Honestly there’s nothing on the internet with actual tips or exercises besides pseudo push-ups and pseudo leans and stuff like that. The only issue I have is pretty much releasing one arm and hold lol which is the hardest part.
Dear internet,
About 2 years ago, (when I was in 8th grade) I watched a video showcasing people attempting the Baki pose but then proceeding to do a push up. If someone can find the video, I would greatly appreciate it.
All I know is that the last attempt of the video had a dude doing a HUGE ROM for the pose. (I'd say it was about 160 to 95 degrees) The person had a black compression sleeve and that's all I remember. Can someone find this video I have failed to.
My best guess is that it was fake somehow, but it was a compilation of the closest attempts.
Ash's even doing Sphinx Push-ups at 1:37. What a beast!
I've had a rollercoaster relationship with fitness. I'm currently starting out all over again, and your videos are going to help me a lot. Thank you so much for including the easier options for those of us who don't have the chops to do the traditional exercise off the jump!
I recommend sleep hypnosis for consistency. It helped me to stay consistent 5+ days a week for over a year.
6:32 gave me a good chuckle
Like a doo-doo
Chris dude is an absolute tank, so much stamina
Amazing! Not only did you show a tier list of the moves but a progression so that we can begin practicing these. Awesome job man thank you. You got an instant subscribe outta me
I know right? This is the first time I've seen exercises shown with easier versions to work your way up to the full version. Back in my school days, all we were taught in gym class was simply to do fewer number of those exercises, never taught that we could do similar but simpler ones to eventually be able to properly do those forms.
What about Uncle Iroh's inverted crunches? He hangs upside-down from a pull-up bar, supporting his entire weight by the top of his feet, and does crunches like that... Is it even possible?
4:32 those cacti are definitly a good motivation not to fall down XD
Props to the camera work, this video is pretty good for character studies for sketching on movement especially with the different angles it provide.
8:59 this is so insane
Imagine becoming a calisthenics expert through anime. 👍🏽
I’ve never actually seen anyone properly do Baki’s one hand pose. He’s completely and totally parallel, I’d say it’s borderline in possible to do properly.
Because this is real life not anime
The fact that one real human can do the Baki Pose is insane. You should also include the pose that Ip Man does in the middle of the fight against Mike Tyson
i really like the bent arm planche to L sit. super cool movement!
it's not impossible, it's just you're not at the *peak human* level just yet.
Watching Alex doing that wall split made me think that he ate the Gomu Gomu no mi fruit :D
And looks like real life Saitama also
Bringing anime exercises into the real world,what a time to be alive :DD
Great video
Uh dude? Most of those anime exercises came FROM the real world before they were ever in anime.
Got the weeaboo
内容と関係ないけど大変絵を描く時の参考になる筋肉でありがたい
first video I'm watching of this channel and wtf you have balance, mobility, elasticity and strength, it all combined looks so good
I Love The Very Hard and Impossible That Are Not Weighted So i Can Get Stronger,
When I was in highschool I could basically do a legless rope climb almost effortlessly just because I was a such a light framed person. It was literally easier for me to only use my arms. I didn't do it in that "L hang" position though.
you didnt do Goku's vertical push up correctly, you missed the 180º vertical neck turn to be able to look at the front while doing it
6:49 he did it and it was pretty damn good
This is surreal
You guys are beasts! Videos like these are what convince me that a calisthenics are just as valid as weight lifting
Something to remember with most of these difficult exercises; they work best for lighter weights.
I remember a Sasuke episode where an American triathlete competed. Dude is fit, and completed up to the third course, but due to his large size, over six foot and accompanying body mass, he failed at the near entirety upper body hell that is the third course. The men who pass that course, universally, are under 150 pounds.
That is to say, your muscles can support a certain amount of weight, and even increasing their size does not increase that ratio. Also why the power index for most light weights tends to be insane, in comparison to anyone in the heavy weights.
I've been training my shoulders to lift heavy swords, and most the training they do in Anime tells little how you can do it.
You can start with holding the bar bell behind you with and swinging it side to side like a pendulum, first with arms bent until you have proper control then go to straight arms. The next step is swing it from behind you in front of you with your pendulum swing . You can increase the weight as well but be careful and do small weights.
oh didn't know there's a comment similar to mean with heavy sword training. but I also added that if you want to swing something that's over 20 pounds just use the heavy bar like a staff. once you are used to it than use them as swords so we wont break or lose a body part. like shoulders or back. I swing my 24 pound fantasy sword like a katana. I can only do 50 swings without stopping and haven't beat the record yet. XD I even got the odin training hammer just to get used to the sword better.
I especially appreciate how you include some attempts before the completion.
The guys in this video have a really nice phisique and amazing streght and control, as well as top notch balance. It takes a lot of discipline to reach that level. Kudos to them!
I love that you guys used Iroh for a reference, he’s an absolute unit, physically and mentally
Wow! Just watching this made me feel like I had a workout session! Amazing stuff! 👍
you didn't tho, get to work
Do Every impossible Workout
I guess it's time to record myself doing one-finger handstand push-ups and upload it to TH-cam.
Can't wait for it :D
This whole video was great, but including the Yujiro Hanma swimming thing at the very end really cracked me up.
Thanks for making this video. I came for the anime but thanks to the easy versions i actually started doing some exercise. I am obese since childhood and never ... considered doing any exercises while brushing my teeth or while waiting on the pc. Thanks a lot !
I missed the time before Covid where almost everyday I go to the gym after school. But this video inspires me to get back to my good habit and want to try the impossibe to be possible
okay this my new calisthenics goal!
8:11 there! He smiled!
thank you for this amazing video! but most of these exercises, I can do with my eyes closed
in my dreams 😆
This man’s here doing every exercise known to man while I sit at a desk and draw stuff, and I like it that way
Great demonstrations by both 💪💪
This is the type of strength people needs, not lifting heavy things, but to move their bodies with ease.
Brooooooo congratulations for the banger video. I never thought baki pose could be done for real. So far, I am at the medium level, practicing explosive push ups. Still cannot do the clap push up but you gave me super cool motivation to keep working.
My new goal of life. Uahauauahauaajai
9:22 you injures your joints. You crazy!
These videos are always so inspirational, and all I'm going to do is go to bed and pretend I never saw it.
0:14 I see Baki does Yoga.
I've seen many athletes much much much better than me failing the Baki stance...
Amazing stuff 🤯🤯🤯
The only reason he struggled because he's not used to the move
7:14 Ain't this actually stated to be Baki doing push-ups in that pose though?
but well nontheless I guess it's still impossible
Haish, Saitama is the hardest. Imagine, In the summer before doing the squad, you only eat banana, then run 10km without rest, push up, sit up then squad, after that go home and sleep, also dont turn on the AC. Repeat this everyday until you get bald.
Great vid, it's impressive you can do all of the not inhuman ones.
Speed aside, is it possible to swim without using your arms and instead by propelling yourself out of the water in a similar way that Yujiro does?
The wall split is one of the easier exercises IMO, it's definitely possible with 1-2 years of flexibility training, whereas one arm pull-ups (and the other exercises in Very Hard category) require A LOT of strength that sometimes people just cannot achieve, even with training. Would move it to hard or medium.
Daymm your buff
2:08 ATLA is not an anime
And there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Bull the art style the over arching storylines its just American anime
@@coiaasaleatroias2845nah it is fr not an anime. Fucking hate it how so many people seriously think it really is an anime. Like hell, do ya even know what an anime is?
@@coiaasaleatroias2845 Why do so many people think it is an anime? Like seriously, so many people think it is an anime, they prolly don’t even know what anime means.
@@Rexponsethat's your opinion
My man's lost his hair do to all this exercise 😔🙏
Watching this video made me realize how much fun it would be to try out anime-inspired exercises! I'm always up for a challenge, and ranking them from easy to impossible sounds like a blast. Maybe I should film myself attempting these exercises and share the results on my channel. It could be a great way to engage with fellow anime fans and fitness enthusiasts!
They always say nothing is impossible.
why about "Stroking it" from End Of Evangelion
This is amazing the fact that you even act like you struggle under the "poor" form makes this even better.
Ps. Be careful with one arm pullup. I could do 25 nornal pullups, and tried to train for one arm pullup (using towel) but damaged my elbow. 8 years later I can still feel it when under large strain.
