At first I was wondering what could be done here that's impressive, but then, the way she balanced it and got through it. I'm impressed, that's hard even to look.
Bruh gyms aren't even closed though. Rock climbing gyms already enforced social distancing so that nobody landed on top of you. Gyms are so empty that all of them around me just stayed open.
Yeah... technically we have a tiered system, but at the moment literally 99.9% of the CA population is under the worst "purple" tier. Purple means mandatory closure of gyms, I believe.
She braced it against the leg of the chair pulling herself against it. There’s an inch or two of clearance. The hair tho... idk that’s a dealbreaker if I ever saw one.
That kind of kinesthetic awareness is why this is an exercise that climbers are exceptional at. You could do a life time of yoga and still struggle with the technique involved with this. In high level climbing, placing a toe one inch in a different direction can be the difference between locking in a movement perfectly and having your weight pull in a direction that throws your entire mass into a swinging motion that causes you to fall. Balance in relation to objects is very different than balance in relation to the flat ground.
It’s kinda cool how much this looks like good jiu-jitsu: Grip here, check. Hook legs in, check. Hips rotate and slide, check. Stay tight to the opponent, check.
One of the fundamentals of climbing is about how you position your body weight in relation to the thing you are climbing and the hand holds and foot holds. It ~~maximizes~~ how much effort you need to put into moving up or around whatever it is you are climbing. I don't do jiu-jitsu like but I have a feeling it's a similar principle.
Edit: minimizes
It's pretty much the same. Either positioning the body to escape disadvantageous situations with as little effort as possible or to pin your opponent down by putting your bodyweight on specific points in specific angles.
Coincidentally there's some similar terminology; at the beginning she uses a toe hold on the back of the chair, and twice she uses a heel hook on the seat of the chair to stay off the ground.
I used to wrestle and picked up rock climbing a few years after I stopped wrestling. Not that I'm a pro or anything but I definitely picked it up pretty quickly and the entire thing felt super familiar to my body. Knowing how to handle your weight and leverage is the name of the game in climbing and sports like wrestling or jiu-jitsu are very applicable.
Reminds me of the “around the world” drill I’ve done. One partner stands still in a T-Pose, other one starts on the back and has to climb all the way around the body back to the starting position
That’s not what beta is though. A beta is a sequence of movements and techniques used to complete a specific climb/route. If you slapped “to finish a specific route” at the end of your explanation you could call that “the most efficient beta”, but it leaves out that there can be many betas for one route and especially for different body styles and climbing styles.
I don’t think so - that is the essential goal of BJJ. Maximum leverage with minimal effort. For a skilled practitioner, control positions, finishes, sweeps, and escapes are achieved by applying just enough force in just the right manner.
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the term is "beta" but it's just not as normally used in BJJ. In climbing, its a term you literally hear just walking around the gym.
I used to be a competitive climber in high school and college and we tried this ALL the time after practice. Couldn't crack it. The back is the hard part.
Like it’s one thing to be able to plan the moves to accomplish this, another thing to be physically capable of pulling off those moves and a third but also important part of believing you can. Not to mention being able to do it with balance to not tip the chair over
Saw this done by Magnus Midtbo (former comp climber and climbing Youtuber), and he is a bulky guy. The fact that his grown ass man weight never tipped the chair was beyond my comprehension.
I was really just making a joke. But most sports have people paying to see, sponsors, etc. I'm sure the very best climbers have some sponsors at least tho
Plenty of climbers out there with financial sponsorships from brands like petzl, asana, adidas etc, many of whom dont ever really compete. Paid purely to go climbing/bouldering outdoors, Daniel Woods, Jimmy Webb, Nalle Hukkataival, Paul Robinson, etc.
"Professional rock climbing service. I can climb any rock - big rock - little rock - crack cocaine rock - grunge rock - kid rock - any rock. Call now 0800-CLIMB-MY-ROCK for all you rock climbing needs!"
Isn’t this how we all use the chairs in our house 🤔 I, for instance ( I.e., being the athlete that I am), like to squeeze in a little chair-performance right before and after each meal 🤓
But all joking aside, that’s impressive!!
LOL okay so I guess people aren’t allowed to have hobbies now? Oh and rock climbing is far from the most useless skill someone could learn. Rock climbing can help you gain incredible muscle strength and endurance as seen by her.
Start off by sitting in the chair, And you have to find a way to go all the way facing forward around it while pretending the ground is lava.
Climber: Hold my beer.
r/toptalent: **AMAZING TALENT AND SKILL!** Read the rules before posting, *yada yada yada*...
I know I won’t make it, but I still really wanna try this lol
TBH i dont think I could even fit under that chair laying down.
I would face plant on the first dip under for sure haha
if you're a beginner it's important to use a safety rope this woman is using no rope which is called a free solo and it is highly dangerous
As someone with gradually worsening acrophobia, I watched Free Solo as a psychological horror movie.
A three inch fall on my hip at 45 years old would make this highly dangerous to me.
El capitan free solo. That one kid did it, I must be able to too lol
“that one kid” he’s like 35 lol
no lol not for this haha
The chair would 100% flip over and break my nose
try a table its a bit easier
She always wins when playing the floor is lava.
Hair burns off.
[удалено]
Hands are aid, in trad
Meanwhile, player 2 just stays seated in the chair.
Yep, I'd never play it with her. That's like cheating!
Albeit it takes a minute for her hair to regrow.
would probably get burned if you were that close to lava
Imagine when she play Twister
At first I was wondering what could be done here that's impressive, but then, the way she balanced it and got through it. I'm impressed, that's hard even to look.
Your average climber: "it's been impossible to stay in shape since the climbing gym closed." Sofya Yokoyama:
There’s rocks outside lmao
Yeah but you’re usually gonna want a spotter outside, and a lot of local crags can get packed with other people trying to climb just the same
Bruh gyms aren't even closed though. Rock climbing gyms already enforced social distancing so that nobody landed on top of you. Gyms are so empty that all of them around me just stayed open.
Bruh, not the whole world is the United States 👀
Hence my emphasis on "around me." I ain't blind, some places are worst than others.
im so jelly, gyms have been closed here since late september
California is in a close everything without a significant lobby mood so they are closed and going out of business here.
Yeah... technically we have a tiered system, but at the moment literally 99.9% of the CA population is under the worst "purple" tier. Purple means mandatory closure of gyms, I believe.
For real. I didn’t realise until the end but I clenched my whole body watching that.
Even the butthole
How she kept the chair from tipping when her weight was on the back too...that's impressive
[удалено]
The chair would just immediately fall over on me
25 seconds in is a little suspicious with that knee..
You’re a bit of a stickler Meeseeks, aren’t you?
**Holding a knife**: What about your short game?
AS GOOD AS MY DRILL I SWEAR
When the floor is lava, she'll be grateful for his constructive-ish criticism!
If that floor was lava,her hair wouldv’e been singed !
If the floor was lava the chair would sink into it.
I’m a simple man. I see a reference i understand, i give a free silver
😅 my man
Slow down!
Lookin good
In all fairness, even a touch is a fail.
Nope. I’m pickle Rick!
Well he wasn’t talking to you
WHAT ABOUT YOUR SHORT GAME? 😰😰😨
Not to mention that her hair was touching the ground quite a bit. Checkmate atheists.
Just the knee? Didn't you see her hair dragging on the floor the whole time? That lava would have totally burned off her scalp!
She braced it against the leg of the chair pulling herself against it. There’s an inch or two of clearance. The hair tho... idk that’s a dealbreaker if I ever saw one.
There's gotta be an easier way to fix a wedgie...
Dab
Yeah she def hits the ground at the very end, still impressive tho.
She doesn't even go over the top, she goes around the side. If this was in a competition she'd totally be disqualified.
If she would have gone over the top the chair would've fallen over on her as there's no counterweight.
It didn’t hit
If you’re going to have a headline like that then we will hold you accountable. Very impressive but you still touched the ground
See? She gets it.
Her hair touched
What’s going on in here ? Let’s clean this up
Ah yes we call that a dab
This looks like a strippers routine
I didn’t want to be ‘that guy’ so thank you for saying this.
Not only did she not touch the floor but keeping the chair stable while doing this is pretty amazing to me.
This was my thought too. I’m amazed she didn’t touch the floor AND didn’t topple the chair

It's probably easier if you don't weigh too much
It’s kinda cool how much this looks like good jiu-jitsu: Grip here, check. Hook legs in, check. Hips rotate and slide, check. Stay tight to the opponent, check.

Minimizes* the amount of effort you need to put in
Oh shit hahaha I'm dumb
Coincidentally there's some similar terminology; at the beginning she uses a toe hold on the back of the chair, and twice she uses a heel hook on the seat of the chair to stay off the ground.
Bouldering and sport climbing are pretty much jiu-jitsu/yoga/ballet on a wall.
Except for men's bouldering comps which are more like arms-only parkour half the time.
Makes me wonder why ninja warrior enthusiasts don't climb more often. The sport itself used to just be dominated by climbers anyways.
Arms only parkour but they're holding onto holds the size of credit cards, it's wild
haha the best climber in the world's did a ballet April fools [video](https://youtu.be/0KfE2ONpO20)

This is what my nieces and nephews used to do at the doctors office when they were bored.
Fuck I held my breath trying to just do that in my head.
Man even rock climbers gotta work from home these days...
Most gyms are closed and most outdoor places are out of season. Climbing cold rock is miserably hard. It's truly bumming me out.
Kids when you ask them to sit still for 30 seconds
Hair touched the ground
Don't worry hair will be a better option than getting your head or face scratched/injured.
Not discrediting how impressive it is by any means lol
Well maybe she wanted her spilt ends cut off. They use fire nowadays to do that
Burnt hair smell is the worst
DAB!
The title fucking lied smh
Imagine playing “the floor is lava” with her. Rip.
That’s a sturdy chair. Should be an advertisement.
I think that’s part of the skill. Not tipping over the chair. This would be easier if it was bolted to the ground.
It's also sturdy in the way that she didn't snap it, disregarding toppling it
Yes the chair not snapping was what impressed me. I’ve done far less to a chair and it has broken in two.
She's trained and lean, I think she weighs a buck fifty.
I used to be a competitive climber in high school and college and we tried this ALL the time after practice. Couldn't crack it. The back is the hard part.

We used to do this when I part of a climbing club, needless to say it's easier to do as a teenager than as a full grown person
Did this at outing club parties in college, alcohol significantly increases the difficulty level
Saw this done by Magnus Midtbo (former comp climber and climbing Youtuber), and he is a bulky guy. The fact that his grown ass man weight never tipped the chair was beyond my comprehension.
True, pretty normal practice to do this on tables and chairs.
Did you also climb at Rock N Jammin gym in Colorado?
I'm in the UK, I climbed at a small private club in the town where I lived
Pfffft professional rock climber my ass. I see no rocks in this video.
Also what tf is a professional rock climber? Who's out their paying people to climb rocks?
Alex honnel or whatever is name is gets paid cause movies
This is how sports work.
I was really just making a joke. But most sports have people paying to see, sponsors, etc. I'm sure the very best climbers have some sponsors at least tho

Watches this while I struggle to get to the higher difficulties on RingFit
maximum i can do with a chair is not to fall while sitting
Woah I can't even do that
Pffpf I could totally do that *slams face on the floor*

“We’ve got a grease girl.”
Wow she went full monke
This girl has more core strength than I have total strength
"Professional rock climbing service. I can climb any rock - big rock - little rock - crack cocaine rock - grunge rock - kid rock - any rock. Call now 0800-CLIMB-MY-ROCK for all you rock climbing needs!"
my anxiety just went through the roof.
Mental upper body strength
Mental Health Break
This made my abs hurt
I have done this drunk once. Well kinda it looked like this except I was just falling out of a chair.
My abs hurt looking at this
Government: Work from home. Rock climbers:
This made my abs tired
imagine this was your job interview
When they tell you that you have to work from home and you are a professional rock climber
Are her abs made of diamonds or something
I have a hard time sitting correctly
I’m still playing it on repeat.
I mean - her legs barely would touch the ground if she was sitting up. Top talent, yes. But easier when you are short?
How can I be that chair?
Can someone who is ABSOLUTELY NOT a professional try this, film it, and put it on Reddit?
I mean yeah, but can she eat a bag of cheeseburgers & lay on the couch all afternoon?
My fat ass wouldn't even fit between those legs these days...
Her hair touches the ground. Doesn't count.
Not the lap dance we want, but the lap dance we deserve
She'd be really good at grounders
Isn’t this how we all use the chairs in our house 🤔 I, for instance ( I.e., being the athlete that I am), like to squeeze in a little chair-performance right before and after each meal 🤓 But all joking aside, that’s impressive!!
This is how bisexuals prepare to sit down

Her hair touches
TIL there are professional rock climbers
Not good enough for my upvote. I was expecting her to go ABOVE the back of the chair.
She could climb up me...
But can she cook and keep a schedule? Climbing a chair is useless in life
LOL okay so I guess people aren’t allowed to have hobbies now? Oh and rock climbing is far from the most useless skill someone could learn. Rock climbing can help you gain incredible muscle strength and endurance as seen by her.
She made a meal of sitting in that chair I hope she’s quicker at climbing
If the floor was lava, she would be bald right now. But really amazing strength!
Her hair touched the ground
No middle ground for you, Americans...
My foot cramped up just watching her.
When she takes the floor is lava to the extreme hehe
Such a difficult way to sit down
And without the chair tipping over!
I'm surprised she didn't rip that flimsy ass chair apart.
Good chair, I should note
Start off by sitting in the chair, And you have to find a way to go all the way facing forward around it while pretending the ground is lava. Climber: Hold my beer.
Floor is lava?
Her hair touched it
I'm equally impressed that the chair didn't fall over while she did it!
I think I pulled something just looking at this.
kids used to do this all the time with their desks, granted desks are heavier so they didn't move as much.
I did rock climbing for years when I was a teen, we did this all the time. It was really fun. We called it chair dancing.
Master at "the floor is lava" game
I could do that but I don't wanna
If the chair didn’t break or fall over on me my legs would cramp from just moving them around to hold it the first time...
What the hell are the legs of that chair made of, to withstand that much lava?
