  • Penguinz0 reacts to Remarkable Displays of Human Skill and Strength.
    The Baranton Sisters Régina and Yvonne Baranton were renowned for their mesmerizing foot-juggling act, which captivated audiences during the early 20th century.
    Hailing from France, these talented sisters gained fame for their unique and skilful performance.In their act, Régina and Yvonne would skillfully manipulate various objects using only their feet, showcasing incredible dexterity, coordination, and balance.
    They would juggle items such as balls, hoops, and even umbrellas, all while maintaining a graceful and fluid motion that left audiences in awe. Their act was not only technically impressive but also infused with an element of charm and elegance, as they danced and moved with grace and precision. The sisters' synchronization and timing were impeccable, adding to the allure of their performance.
    Régina and Yvonne Baranton's foot-juggling act was a highlight of many circus and variety shows of their time, earning them widespread acclaim and admiration from audiences around the world. Their legacy continues to inspire performers in the realm of circus arts and entertainment.
    The Inch Dumbbell is a famous piece of strength training equipment renowned for its incredible size and weight. It's named after the legendary strongman Thomas Inch, who originally designed and popularized it in the early 20th century. The Inch Dumbbell is characterized by its thick handle and massive weight, typically around 172 pounds (78 kg).
    World record attempts with the Inch Dumbbell often revolve around lifting it in various ways, such as deadlifting it from the ground, performing clean and press movements, or even attempting to walk with it. These feats require not only immense physical strength but also exceptional grip strength due to the thickness of the handle.
    Competitions and exhibitions featuring the Inch Dumbbell attract strongmen and strength athletes from around the world, all vying to push the boundaries of what is physically possible. Setting a world record with the Inch Dumbbell is a testament to an athlete's exceptional strength and determination.
    The allure of the Inch Dumbbell lies not only in its historical significance but also in its iconic status within the world of strength sports. It continues to serve as a symbol of strength and a benchmark for measuring the feats of strength achieved by athletes throughout history.

      How much gunpowder was used though, what velocity was the cannonball traveling? This affects the amount of kinetic energy the cannonball is exerting. I don’t think he would’ve been able to take a cannonball that was loaded for maximum efficiency on a battlefield. But it’s still impressive either way.

      @RaniaIsAwesome Sure there are some. People have to stop this roid hate nonsense. In professional sports there are basically two categories; use roids and get caught, use roids and don’t get caught. If not, you will most likely not be competitive. Any professional who has never used any type of steroid ever? Maybe like 10% with absolute genetic superiority. Then some people would say, genetic freaks should not be allowed to compete. You hear about all the injuries in sports? Probably some sort of steroid, your muscles grow much quicker than your tendons. Like in the olympics, in other countries roids are legal, so those people get that advantage, then fall off of use before testing, strength is easier to maintain than to gain, so if Americans don’t do the same, they won’t be competitive. Roids are here, might as well just have two comps, roids and natty. Guarentee everyone watches the roids one, and some roids people will play the trans-natty and cheat to win.

The stuff he did was absolutely amazing, and he would have done far more amazing things too, but yea he joined the WWE. I wish the WWE would have emphasized that he is actually the real deal, and that it's not just a character, because he should be far more known for his strength feats, especially given his age, and for the time, his training, etc. but most people by far just know him as a WWE character.

      Hand size and grip strength. The main issue is it rolling out of your hand, when you need it as stable as possible. Standard dumbbells have a smaller bar, so the average person can get their hand around it in a good grip.

    The cannonball people were not an uncommon gimmick for circus acts, but there are two issues with them. 1) the powder yield was kept to a minimum, for obvious reasons and nobody would have loaded a cannon with that amount during wartime. 2) They actually suffered tremendous damage for repeatedly being exposed to that amount of force. People badly needed money during those times.

    canon ball dude is a gimmick. Notice how everyone who punches him looks like they've never thrown a punch in their life. Even that boxer threw a pretty lame punch. The canon wasn't a real canon. The ball was fired, but at a predetermined speed, and not at a normal canon fired rate. If he wasn't standing there, the ball would have dropped to the ground in about 30 ft.
    The weight lift is also a gimmick. It's a stage show in which you are made to believe that the dumbbell is heaver than it is. It's certainly heavy, but it's designed to be just within his lifting abilities.
    The 2 sisters were the most impressive imo, but they too used a bit of deception. The objects they were juggling are specially designed to be super light. I expect they were made of balsa wood with some internal stiffeners. They clearly didn't weigh over 5lb. It's still an impressive action, but it was enhanced by the deceptive props.
    In those days it was all about the entertainment. Validation was not important. If you can put on a good show, that's all that mattered. These folks were talented, but it certainly wasn't beyond the realm of today's talent.

    • @spracketskooch

      Please, go take that cannonball to the stomach. It's not a full load of powder in a war cannon, duh... Still takes a hell of a lot of energy to get that cannonball to go 30ft.
      I don't understand your point here. Of course it's just within his lifting abilities. Why would it be outside of his abilities, especially on camera? Those weights are legit. There's all kinds of videos about rock climbers and strong men trying to lift them.
      Again, I don't think many people thought those were functional, full weight tables. It's clear from how they move.
      The dumbbell guy was absolutely beyond most of today's talent. It's just a raw strength test, there is no technique that will help you, it can't be gimmicked. I would agree about people still being just as talented if not more so. I'd take a look at Toby Segar for some evidence of that.

    • @vvhitevvabbit6479
      @vvhitevvabbit6479 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@spracketskooch With the canon ball, yes, it would take a lot of energy to get it to come out of the canon, but that has nothing to do with his ability to take it to the gut. It might take 100 pounds of pressure to get it to just move to the end of the barrel and drop out the end. That doesn't mean he took 100 lbs of pressure to the gut lol. It's basic physics.
      It would be impossible to validate the weight of that original dumbbell. Considering the the lack of authentication practices for stage performances back in the day, it's highly unlikely that it weighed the amount he said it did. I'm sure he had people around him to help ensure that no one properly weighted the dumbbell he was using.
      You're also misinterpreting what I'm saying. By it being "just within his lifting ability" I mean that he would just adjust the weight down until he was just able to lift it and perform with it. Basically, if he tried and couldn't lift it, he'd construct a lighter version, but still claim it's the same weight. Notice how the ones that people use today look much smaller than the one he used, but they are supposedly both made of iron. It's because his is only iron plated and filled with a lighter material.

    Franklin Richards’ stunt wasn’t real. It was a real cannonball, but the cannon wasn’t real. The cannon was spring-loaded so it had just enough force to “shoot” the ball, along with some fake smoke, and hit him hard enough to push him back and hurt a bit. Real cannons easily decimate armor, and would do the same to his body.
