There’s a certain method to this madness but it is unique to every person as one can easily find if they have ever been on social media, which brings us to this insane video from India.

Generation Iron Muscle and Fitness recently took to their official Instagram account and shared a video of a man from Tamil Nadu. In the video, he was seen pulling out stunts with heavy weights on the streets of India. People were gathered all around him to witness the demonstration of strength. It starts like a normal lift. He swings it up and then just smashes it in air with his shoulders. Yeah, what the heck is all that about?

This is some daredevil-MCU-Bruce Lee dojo type of stuff and it is a wonder he hasn’t been hurt doing these repeatedly. Yes, obviously he’s practiced this before. And this is not all. He doesn’t just hit them with his shoulders.

During one of his movements, he hits both of them with his chest and gives a clap. The strangest part about the video was the fact that despite lifting so many heavyweights, he had a smile on his face throughout. Of course, people on the internet loved it and appreciated it with a bag of salt, yes, not a grain but a whole bag of it.

They left comments like, “India is not for beginners” and “Just a normal day in India”. One of them even challenged the elite bodybuilders, commenting, “I would love to see @cbum or any bodybuilding even attempt this”. Of course, CBum is not going to do it. He likes having a career and staying injury-free.

People were being incredibly sarcastic and well, it was harmless, don’t confuse it for being mean. They commented stuff like, “Next big thing. Can’t wait until it hits planet fitness”. Meanwhile, a lot of the others continued bickering about why he was at all pulling out stunts like that. However, the man in the video was also defended by the other half, and one of them wrote, “To those who are confused. These are street performers from India. They do this just for food😢😢😢. They get the least from people who watch this. Nothing to degrade or humiliate them. They work hard and accept pain to get some food. 🙌”
