My theory on why physical talent was more prominent back in the day is because there was no internet, people may have had more time to focus on other things like perfecting their skills.
@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.
@RaniaIsAwesome correct. If Louis Cyr were alive today with the body composition and skeletal structure he had, with the right training and nutrition... Yikes. Paul Anderson I think was on some stuff they had back then, but him, too, would be absolutely nuts with today's regimen
the fact he lived to 81 is even crazier, you would think taking all that force daily would harm you but 81 is above the life expectancy for even 2024 i believe
Bro that CANNONBALL IS CRAZY. IF this dude went to war back then and it happened to land on his stomach, I can only imagine the horror of the enemy soldiers as they watch him get up unscathed Edit: most likes I’ve gotten 🥺. This is great 😃. Thanks for letting me know it’s a prop btw, I fell for it XD
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.
The cannon is a prop Even 1600s cannons would've just pierced through him, plate armor and the horse behind The size of the ball is also enormous, spreading the energy of the impact It's impressive, but it's not a cannon
cannons in the battlefield clear horses.. that was not a full load. the dude has some power but actual cannons that can blow a hole in horses would also blow a hole in him..
The contrast between the silly goofy music and the super serious expressions when they do the close ups on the girls faces is so funny to me. Like in cirque du soleil everything's usually framed as quite serious but this still feels very lighthearted. I suppose cirque is usually more dangerous too, but i reckon one of those tables would really hurt if it fell on your face, spinning at a high speed

I went down this raabbit hole once, looking at lost talents. And it made me believe that we, as the human race collectively, have lost something. There are plenty of examples of feats accomplished that nobody is able to replicate, even with far superior technology.
Hell stuff like skateboarding or bmx and etc would of been a weird talent back then. I could see Rodney Mullen on the stage as the Mystical Board Dancer!
Maybe we lost some once-in-a-generation people like this (assuming there were no tricks in what they did), but we have gained lots in other areas. Look at the world records being broken in many different sports, or new tricks that have been invented in extreme sports. We are still progressing in many areas, we just might not have such unique talents popular anymore
For the cannonball trick, the cannon is only loaded with enough powder to launch that ball 5 feet. I would bet it doesn't even compare to an NFL tackle.
Lol, an NFL tackle would absolutely decimate normal people, like life threatening decimation. Only a master of naivety would expect him to load a full load of powder into a war cannon. It's still impressive. The vast majority of people would have shattered ribs from that impact.
It wasn’t a trick for wrong. Someone assumed he was invincible since he did that trick so often that someone punched him in the stomach as he slept and he died from a ruptured organ

Old strongmen inflated their numbers like nothing else. The money was in the spectacle, not in the truth. A guy bonking the dumbbell with a hammer twice was the "proof".
@@pineappleparty1624 if you don't have ungodly big hands, you can't lift a thomas inch dumbell, easy as that. and that's not something that can be trained. many people can lift the weight of the dumbell with a single hand, they just can't get a good grasp on the handle because it's so large
9:55 - I only knew Mark Henry from the WWE, where they called him "the world's strongest man", and like, yea okay whatever, BUT NO, he literally was, and he was actually INCREDIBLE (in powerlifting, and then strongman sort of lifts). 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.
People back then were less protected than people of today, but it all comes down to how you value your time. We are in weak times but on the cusp of something greater soon.
Reminds me of David Blaine on Joe Rogan, he started to talk about a guy who practiced rolling dice to hit the right numbers for poker. It went right over Joes head but what he was suggesting I think, is that people don't fully understand just how good the human being can get at something.
My son was a kid in the 00's and he used to watch wrestling with my mom. Once when Mark Henry came on I told them about how I used to see him come into my school's gym to lift weights. After that every time he was on TV they would tease me that "there's your best friend." I never even talked to him. 🙄😂

The cannon one isn't real if was there wouldn't be anything left of him. And Thomas inch did it without any strength durgs in his system so he still holds the record in my eyes.
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.
there are still many people like this, i have seen modern videos of man being able to have full suv's driving over their stomach, man and woman that can do incredible things
Not gonna lie I was just here for their costume, still that's impressive af holy shit, I was like "If this table falls off, they're done, I couldn't even find balance of a table with my hands they doing with their feet wtf"
Definitely not, but still, it was a 104 lb cannonball fired quickly enough to push the man several feet backwards. That would quite easily crush the ribs of any normal human.
@@FBIAgentNextDoor That's what I was thinking 🤣 Obviously the man is a beast. I'd never want to take away from that. I'm just convinced it doesn't matter who you are. A full powder charge at point blank will turn the hardest of men into mist 🤣🤣🤣
I just love that all the boxers and cannon ball takers and other strong people of that era just seemed like fat guys, but made of pure toughness. I look like one them, but would be floored by a slightly cutting stare
There's a stunt cyclist by the name of Viola Brand (there are other girls too) that perform some skillful tricks and stunts. Tidy lass that barely sits on a bicycle saddle.. Nice! 😏👍 😎🇬🇧
you could probably google where one would be near you. Or go in person to gyms and ask. That would be the place to house something like that. Sounds like Excalibur, but for meat heads lol.
Do you know what I admire, Tomas did not drop the weight from full height. He merely lowered it. Pisses me off how many gym floors are probably ruined by a peoples 1 rep max bullshit.
Yeah thought the same, the ones that he lifts are much smaller and balanced, while the old ones are much rounder and larger, making it much harder to balance it.
You can see the cannonball dude knows how to take the impact. Not straight on, he twists slightly just before impact. Punch yourself in the gut straight on then at the angle he uses with the boxer. There's a big difference.
How the hell is the canon ball guy even physiologically possible???? How did he not have massive internal bleeding? Or cracked ribs. That is confounding
Those tables are made of balsa wood and cardboard. "They're not full load bearing tables" is and understatement. A toddler could pick those table up with two fingers. The cannon is also fake, obviously. The original one inch dumbbell might be real. The mark henry one looks authentic.
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.
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.
@@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.

Legend has it, they both gave birth to twins at the same time and immediately there after started juggling them there on the delivery table.
I just love that all the boxers and cannon ball takers and other strong people of that era just seemed like fat guys, but made of pure toughness. I look like one them, but would be floored by a slightly cutting stare
The sisters are georgeous
There's a stunt cyclist by the name of Viola Brand (there are other girls too) that perform some skillful tricks and stunts. Tidy lass that barely sits on a bicycle saddle.. Nice! 😏👍

People out here living Baki-villain introductions in rl xD
I would love to try to lift that dumbbell but they cost like $700 for an authentic one. Can't spring that just for an attempt at the impossible.
you could probably google where one would be near you. Or go in person to gyms and ask. That would be the place to house something like that. Sounds like Excalibur, but for meat heads lol.
That cannon ball guy must just be a masochist lol
Do you know what I admire, Tomas did not drop the weight from full height. He merely lowered it.
Pisses me off how many gym floors are probably ruined by a peoples 1 rep max bullshit.
so the point of juggling is to be able test your dexterity in terms of how much you can hold and use at the same time.
the dumbells look different. they should have used the same one as size of the balls play a part in the difficulty
Yeah thought the same, the ones that he lifts are much smaller and balanced, while the old ones are much rounder and larger, making it much harder to balance it.
He doesnt rly believe the guy can take a cannon ball from a real cannon, right?
Critikal is cody ko for people who dont go outside.
good loookin 2
Its not hard to imagine a lot of people back then having weird talents since they didn’t have as much in the way of entertainment.
How many times, when they were teaching themselves this stuff, do you think they got a full on table to the face?
probably had spotters of sorts to keep that from happening in practice
Used to be able to make a career out of it, now your lucky if you can make a beer out of it
Luv u bbg
I saw a yt short of a girl playing with her iPad while spinning the chair using her 1 leg.
You can see the cannonball dude knows how to take the impact. Not straight on, he twists slightly just before impact. Punch yourself in the gut straight on then at the angle he uses with the boxer. There's a big difference.
How the hell is the canon ball guy even physiologically possible???? How did he not have massive internal bleeding? Or cracked ribs. That is confounding
Those tables are made of balsa wood and cardboard. "They're not full load bearing tables" is and understatement. A toddler could pick those table up with two fingers.
The cannon is also fake, obviously.
The original one inch dumbbell might be real. The mark henry one looks authentic.
There was also the mighty atom or however you call the guy
Inch dumbel is such a dangerous thing to just throw on the ground
okay but did you see stevo jump off that roof into a hot tub?
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.
Never skip leg day
People were just built different back then.
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.
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.
@@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.
It was like Houdini, he tenses his stomach muscles before the hit.
If you like this stuff, There’s a documentary called “Gizmo”-(nothing to do with the creature in the movies)-that’s available in its entirety on TH-cam. Made in the Kate 70s? Early 80s? It’s full of old footage like this. Clearly assembled with love and humor. Check it out!
Mark Henry was one of the best "oh shit here he comes" big men in the modern era.
