Hall of Fame, right next to Jarron Gilbert.

In all seriousness though, that's impressive.

Looks more like two 35s instead of two 70s.

Its not as awesome as it sounds. He took most of the weight out of those dumbells by swinging them up before the jump. It's a good show of athleticism but not quite as advertised. 

[top dawg]

Still impressive.

yup. Not only did he take the weight out by swing them up, once he had his feet on thw platform he used the weight of the dumbells to keep him from falling backwards.

Not sure there's any other way to jump than to swing your arms up. That's impressive.

Yeah it's true that's part of the mechanics of jumping.  So instead of dumbbells he should probably be using a weight belt or vest for this kind of exercise if he's actually trying to maximize the effect and not just show off.

 

 

Phew. Got my criticizing of people who are far more athletic than me out the way early today.  Feels good.
