What makes Mike's muscle control superhuman?

Mike can isolate and flex different muscle heads independently, demonstrating exceptional neuromuscular control uncommon in most people.

Is Alexi Gilaborka's flexibility natural or due to a genetic condition?

While some hyperflexibility syndromes exist, there is no confirmed evidence Alexi has any; his flexibility is likely a combination of genetics and intense daily training.

Why is Alan Roberts considered superhuman despite the risks?

Speaker A

Some people can do things that only one in a million people can. Bodies that look like they are made out of steel, bulletproof skin, or extreme flexibility. Some of these look so superhuman that you might question if these are actually real. So, I got a doctor here to explain it to me. And this guy is somewhat of a superhuman himself as well. People don't expect this guy to be so strong when they look at him. It's an oversized shirt because look, look at the gains. Look at, look at that bicep. Five real-life superhumans. First one is jaw-dropping audition leaves the judges stunned on America's Got Talent 2025. This was uploaded two weeks ago. Oh, it's new. But I've seen this guy on Instagram going extremely viral.

Speaker A

Tell me about yourself, Mike. So, I'm a personal trainer. I wonder if Simon is going to get impressed because he's always like not good enough. Like he's constantly like I try to help people, you know, get healthy and slim down.

Speaker A

Okay. What do you think he's going to do? He's a personal trainer. Definitely hiding something because though, you know, it's absurdly oversized. So, he's probably, we buff calisthenics maybe or something.

Speaker A

Oh, yeah. Rift. Oh, my guy looks good. Yo, he's doing popping and locking but with muscles.

Speaker A

He can control all his muscles. He can point. He's like tricep, bicep. He looks good. He looks like he looks.

Speaker A

I've never seen anyone have so many muscles in their body. And yeah, and to control them all over.

Speaker A

Does he have more muscle than anyone else? No, he has the same amount of muscles, but his control over these muscles is really impressive. I used to be a dancer myself. Look like a robot. He starts doing all these things. So he starts to like I can teach you the Mun's wave. I can teach you. He calls it his own skill and he says he can teach people.

Speaker A

Does he have tutorials?

Speaker A

Mike's Instagram. 326,000 followers and he looked good, but look at him in good lighting.

Speaker A

He looks crazy lean. So, if he would be higher body fat percentage, it wouldn't really have the same impact or the same wow factor.

Speaker A

Overall, what I'm doing is muscle control. Mr. Muntz, can you teach me? Let's collab. Because the pecs have different heads, right? So, there's a lower head, there's a mid head, and there's an upper head. So, if you look at the movement he's doing here, when you push down like this, the lower head actually activates. When you push more horizontal, the mid head contracts and when you push more like this, the upper head, each one of them have a different function. And he's just finding a very smart way to activate them. So, what do you think? Superhuman or not?

Speaker A

Pretty superhuman. His ability to use his muscles like that. It's pretty crazy. That was superhuman one.

Speaker A

Cool. Superhuman 2. World record kick in the groin. Wait, there's a whole documentary focused on kicking someone in the ball.

Speaker A

This is a bad idea. Do this at home. This is amazing. No, no no no no no no no.

Speaker A

We brought in the biggest idiot on the planet to take a 50 mph tennis ball to the testicles.

Speaker A

[Applause] What? But since most hits to the nuts in professional sports generate more force than 68 lb, we're feeling this, right?

Speaker A

Feeling this. There's actually an effect. We if we watch someone suffer like this, we can mimic the feel. Our brain mimics the feeling.

Speaker A

So, it's not just about down there. This guy can take a lot. A body made of steel.

Speaker A

Testicles, ribs, places where you would normally get hit by a good puncher or kicker and be put down immediately.

Speaker A

Like he can take anything. That's insane, right? It's not like the doctor and me, all alarm symptoms are going off. Like I'm like, don't do this. This is bad for your brain, for your children, for everything. So the question here is would you say that this is possible to be made out of steel or that this guy probably still has a lot of injuries?

Speaker A

I think he's just getting injured and he's holding his mouth. American gladiator and MMA fighter Justice Smith is ready to deliver a world record kick.

Speaker A

They bring in a fighter. Kirby Royy's nuts. This must have been the weirdest request he's ever gotten.

Speaker A

Two, one, go. Oh, I felt that. There's even like real impact. Like that was a strong kick.

Speaker A

He felt that. No, nothing, bro. It's just straight up nuts. He had his shin end to it. I mean, I can feel it coming up.

Speaker A

Wow. Go to the hospital. What the Superhum or not? I get I was going to say not a superhuman but that kind of baffled my brain.

Speaker A

I was about to say because I think I wanted to say not a superhuman. He has a superhuman ability to just feel no pain or cancel out pain. Control it. He has control over pain.

Speaker A

Yeah, I think that's pretty superhuman. I know the next one will look less painful.

Speaker A

Many people ask me weird questions and one of them is Alexi, do you have bones?

Speaker A

This is world's most flexible guy. Yes, I do have bones, but before I go to work, I leave them at home. This is Alexi Gilaborka, the world's best contortionist.

Speaker A

I want to see this guy play Twister. Me too. Me too, man. We should get him on Twister. Yeah, get him under there.

Speaker A

I train 3 to 5 hours per day to maintain my flexibility there. Wait, how?

Speaker A

One part of me is like, damn. But another part of me is like, imagine how free he must feel.

Speaker A

Do you think this is natural? I think he has some genetic modification or like mutation that allows him to really go far like some form of Ehlers-Danlos, like that's a type of collagen disease where you have collagen in your bones.

Speaker A

It's all flexible, right? For practice, for training I'm very aware of each movement I do because when I stretch I have to keep everything under control not to injure myself.

Speaker A

I can't imagine what his organs are going through. I'd like to see him posed for X-rays.

Speaker A

Oh, bro, I want to see that on a CT scan. I want to see the organs actually like compress. I want to see what happens.

Speaker A

That's so cool. But when I perform, I mostly think about my character in the act. I think about my presence on stage.

Speaker A

Does he have some sort of genetic mutation to do what he does? There's no confirmed evidence that Alexi possesses a genetic mutation much as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. That's what I mentioned, right?

Speaker A

There are syndromes connected to hyperflexibility, but he doesn't seem to have any. Well, at least not confirmed. I mean, it's never been a medical issue for him, so why would he check it out?

Speaker A

Would you call it superhuman? This is like probably the most superhuman of what we saw today. I think so.

Speaker A

Superhuman. Agree. This is crazy. But now for 51-inch max vertical world record.

Speaker A

All right, let's take a look. Dude, he's bouncy. What? Wait, there's no trampoline on there.

Speaker A

Pretty easy. It's like when you have a game and you can double jump or something.

Speaker A

It's slow-mo version. He keeps gaining weight heights. That's crazy. He jumps higher than I do in my dreams.

Speaker A

Wait, so does he have also a standing vertical? World record standing vertical. Standing vertical is much harder than running vertical.

Speaker A

Yeah. Yeah. So 47 inches is insane. He's flying. He's just like he's like pausing in the air.

Speaker A

If you're the highest jumper, you are a superhuman here on Earth. I left the scariest for last.

Speaker A

Scariest? Yeah. Alan Roberts. Do you know Alan Roberts? Oh, he's the French crazy guy. He's like he's pretty old, right?

Speaker A

He's the real live Spider-Man. He climbs stuff without any protection. If he falls, he dies. And he's been doing exactly that for decades, bro. Imagine if you change your mind halfway.

Speaker A

You have to see the grips. There's no grip. No way. This is his view. Every single time for decades.

Speaker A

This is not legal, right? I think he got fined a decent amount. Yeah. In 2009, he got fined for 750 when he was in Australia.

Speaker A

Worth it. $750 Australian dollars. That's not even that much. He was paid $18,000 to climb a 95 m Lloyds building. That's kind of cheap. No. If you pay someone 18k, yo, risk your life 18k.

Speaker A

What about the accidents? In a 2005 interview, Robert said he has fallen seven times in his life. The worst was his fall in September 1982. At

Speaker A

Speaker A

What about the accidents? In a 2005 interview, Robert said he has fallen seven times in his life. The worst was his fall in September 1982. At 19, he fell 15 m when the anchor and rope gave way. That's how his story

Speaker A

started. He fell. He was like, I don't need this anymore. This is not the protection.

Speaker A

This is not good. I was reacting and then I died. Yes. This is not good. Not my fault.

Speaker A

These are all his notable clims. Imagine being that cool. He's been around forever. Alan.

Speaker A

Allan Robert. Yeah. Now he just climbed the Burj Khalupa which is the highest building.

Speaker A

Every now and I see this guy's videos and he's such a strange looking guy and like he's always wearing like crocodile skin boots.

Speaker A

But he kind of reminds me of this other guy I found on Instagram. Cool animal. I don't know. He's doing the weirdest stuff. And then look at this.

Speaker A

Oh, I've seen this. What? So his his his fingers are indestructible. That's a knife.

Speaker A

Yeah, it's just Spider-Man hand training. What? Look at these veins. I do think that real life Spider-Man goes to Ellen Robert to me. 100% superhuman.

Speaker A

This guy is superhuman. If you know more superhumans, make sure to tag them in the comments down below or let us know so we can check them out in the next episode because this is crazy.

Speaker A

Yeah, this is crazy. I think there are many more superhumans out there and I definitely want to see them, man. We talked about so many superhumans, but we didn't talk about your superhuman.

Speaker A

Okay. Okay. Make sure to check out the previous video. That one was superhumanly good. Make sure to subscribe to the link and hit that bell.
