The Ultimate Test: How Flexible Is The World's Strongest Man?

Video Description

In this video, we tackle a hot topic in the fitness world: Is stretching really the key to injury recovery and performance improvement? I've often expressed skepticism about the benefits of stretching, especially for strength gains. Today, however, I'm putting my beliefs to the test with a mobility challenge. Joining me is @SilvanaKicks , a multi-time world champion in martial arts and a two-time Guinness World Record holder. With her incredible hip mobility, she contrasts starkly with the typical strength-focused athlete. Together, we'll go through a series of mobility levels, starting from level zero and attempting to reach level 100. I'll do my best to keep up and see how far I can go!
