Wow.
Youv got to be like a ballerina or something to be able to do **** like that.

injured shoulder says no to attempting that one

I HAVE OVER 30 FRIENDS THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY WHO CAN DO THESE ALL DAY! PRETTY MUCH ANY BREAK DANCERS CAN DO THIS AS IT'S NEED FOR SEVERAL DANCE MOVES ,HAND SPINS,TURTLES,SLOW MOTION STALLS ECT. BUT IT'S MORE BALANCE THAN STRENGTH OR I SHOULD SAY A COMBO ,BUT FEE OF THEM CAN EVEN DO 1 SUPERMAN PUSHUP! SO DON'T SWEAT IT ,BESIDES I CAN DO THESE EASIER THAN SUPERMAN PUSHUPS BEING I USED TO BE INTO THE B BOY SCENE.

that is a very good point

I can see true strength from a gymnast, but most guys I see that can do this have NO leg mass. Much easier to do when you don't have much to counter balance.

Ok I disagree,just because YOU have terrible balance doesn't mean that only people with large upper body and small legs can do it,that is very offensive to breakdancers everywhere,to breakdance takes a lot of strength all-around,how do you think they can do multiple flips ect. Get your facts straight before you post assumptive remarks based on your opinion without factual knowledge about this.I can do these pushups and having been raised training Muay Thai have strong legs my body is distributed quite evenly so quit making excuses on why you can't do it!

I'll have you know I was in a breakdancing group in the 80's an competed in the Bay Area. Notice I did say "MOST" in my statement and not all. And how do you know I have terrible balance? :yawn: I'm a kickboxing instructor. I have to balance on one leg alot.
Strong legs don't mean you have more mass.You don't have to have massive legs to be strong. Point is that the more leg mass you have, the harder it is to do. The dude in the video has stick legs.
Chill. You're feeling like you've been personally attacked. Reread what I posted with a calm mind.

Just because you can can balance on one leg doesn't mean that you have a universally well trained equilibrium the kind of balance a gymnist ,skater,snowboarder,high diver,ect. So just because one video has a chicken legged hit doing those doesn't mean that to some1 who often trains to acquire such balance with large legs can't do this! I'm not taking it personally but if you applied yourself to such an exercise you would overtime be able to get it town unless you just plain out can't figure out your point of balance,everything has a point of balance whether or not you have the talent to find it and be comfortable is another thing in which dome people may never achieve this,such as popping a wheelie on a bicycle dome people can ride for miles on their back tire ,I'm not one of those people but I am one who has an extensive array of balance ,people who train in kapoeta can easily do those pushups and also tend to have muscular legs so like I said before its your opinion that the mass has to do with it when you can easily counter balance yourself by simply bending your legs leaning forward and having the ability to find your central point of balance ,I'm surprised that you being a kickboxing instructor that you wouldn't know the basic philosophy of finding and training different points of balance as its a vital part of gaining max power for many various attacks and counters. Point made!
