A former friend of mine helped create the website for Barstarz. He told me all about this becoming popular years ago and I said, "meh, okay."

He was also an overweight dude who lost a ton of weight on the P90X regiment.

Working out like that is one the most fun ways to work out. I always go down to the park to hit the pull up and dip bars.

I doubt a little kid would be able to grab that pull up bar. Lots of parks have workout equipment built for adults.

I could see them having trouble during the part that requires you to hold all your weight on just the mother fucking fingertips, while hopping from one beam to the next... Do they have that in the American version?


edit: this part

Do these guys lift weights and as a result are able to do this? or they actually work out on those things?

you can definitely build up that kind of strength and muscle doing just reps of all those different techniques.


edit: I guess you could call them street gymnasts! And I bet some of them could do damn well in the Olympics with the proper training, they already have the work ethic and determination for something like that!

I don't know that you do, because the ladies strong enough to do that would look a lot like them.

See pole dancer gif.

Indeed, there's a whole field of sports dedicated to this kind of stuff called gymnastics.

I guess it looks more macho when you're not wearing spandex.
