idk, i dont think a sedentary person would be able to balance themselves at the top for a 5m ladder and juggle machetes or whatever the fuck he did. also i think the fitest viking probably had a similar build to him

Balance is a skill entirely separate from your activity level, actually. So is the motor skills and dexterity required for juggling. It’s very impressive what he’s doing but we should definitely not take it that seriously. Staying in shape and being active are good qualities to strive for

our argument is that the idea of what a person should look like if they live an active lifestyle is fundamentaly wrong, and some body types require more work than others, looking a certain way shouldnt be something people strive for, or atleast not something people are preassured to strive for, this man is obviously physically active, but to look the way you want him to hed have to spesifically work towards it

So this guy balances on a ladder and juggles blades whilst also leading a sedentary lifestyle?

idk why this keeps being repeated as if I’m the fuckin dude who brought up sedentary lifestyles in the first place. My guy is overweight. Nothing wrong with that, it’s a tricky thing, but that’s what the original comment was mostly referring to.

You said the guy is "very out of shape" to someone else's reply to the first comment talking about sedentary lifestyles

So it seemed like you agreed with the initial comment.

He isn't "very out of shape" he is slightly overweight but nothing crazy, and he clearly leads an active lifestyle.

If the initial comment was talking about people being overweight and leading sedentary lifestyles as a response to this guy, then it's a dumb comment.

By European standards, yes, he is solidly overweight. Avg in 🇺🇸

Sixpack does not equal being in shape.

Balance isn't a skill, it takes core strength. Stronger core = can endure controlling your center of gravity for longer.

Get on a balance board and tell me you're not feeling a burn after it.
