    If the stuff olympic gymnasts could do was so easy, there'd be loads of "self taught" gymnasts tearing it up at the olympics. 'nuff said.

    'nuff said does not win a discussion. I did not say it was easy. I said each is great in it's own right.

    Proffessionals will allways be better than amateurs, but there is stuff in the video's posted professional gymnasts could not do.

    Theres stuff in these videos that olympic gymnasts couldn't do, i agree with you. but do I think that's because they're physically incapable of it? no, it's because they haven't had anywhere near as much practice at that sort of thing. I've met (and trained) with some very good gymnasts who could do the sort of thing that was posted in the original video with no problem.

    I trained alongside a couple of Olympic gymnasts and my brother still does and I can assure you that they at least had no experience of roids in the sport. The chinese and russians were famous for it however - dont know if they still are.

    You gonna back that up with any evidence?

    Just cos you can't do it doesn't mean anyone who can is juicing.

    I think what Stuart means is that even if a person was to get on the juice... they wouldn't look like the guy in the vid. He's not got your stereotypical roid physique.

    Saying someone's on steroids right off the bat when you see them do something impressive is usually that person's way of attempting to boost their own ego when they see someone do something they can't even fathom doing.

    I put on over 60 pounds in five years of weight training and I've been asked a few times if I took steroids. I don't even use protein supplements. I just busted my butt.

    actually after me and my friends first saw this we started doing them to and we can do a lot of them, i stil cant do the parkout one where you hold onto tree or something with arms and suspend legs up and suspending body up while on vertical bar

    these are cool workouts the ones where you have to use your core ive been working out absolute strength for 30 min and than just core strength 30 min with different things like windshield wipers and such.

    You're also much smaller than these guys, which does make body weight exercises easier. These guys are relatively heavy and still do impressive feats.

    i thought you always kept saying that bigger muscles = more strength (i dont believe) and these guys have very low bodyfats.

    If you weigh 130 pounds and do a pull-up, and another guy weighs 200 pounds and does a pull-up, who has moved more weight and thus demonstrated more strength? To do the equivalent you would need to strap 70 additional pounds on your body and do a pull-up to match.
