Penn & Teller Tell A Lie - Muscle Beach Losers?

[rmcbeigh]

this trick was on the blood hound gang years and years ago... and they showed how it was done too.

[Nhia89]

so yea anybody know whos that chick in the video?

[tim77or]

[Chained2Alice]

haahahahaahaaaa

[JerichoTyrael]

why she makes pressure point on the guys arms 0.50

[panzerveps]

@1TtidnaB Shitheads I can agree on, but niggers? Nope. Both are as white as white people can get.

Stop the hate, porchmonkey.

[qazokmanwer]

i think she jumped

[mkarnerfors]

Simple physics... basicly your arms are reverse levers.

First time she leans *into* him, giving him a very short lever. Second time, she stays back, giving him a 2-4 times longer lever, an in effect making herself 2-4 times heavier.

Try it yourself... stand next to a 50 kg/110lb weight and try to lift it straight up while held close to you. Then try the same on arms straight out.

[arafin75]

It may well be applied kinesthetics.

[Jonz66]

I was kinda expecting that one of the lifter accidentally rip one :p

[dgdfhfghgfhgfgffjhj]

@Jonz66

It woulda happened on Showtime.

[BionicWiggly]

Glad to see this is going to be more like BS than The Unpleasant World of Penn & Teller. Looking forward to it!

[berzelius]

someone mentioned 3rd law of physics. Which s ryt. Guy lift girl. girl pulls guy up instead of pushing down. Now they are 1 object. In effect guy cant life. Same thing f u try lifting urself which is impossible.

[aceshooter]

Newton's 3rd Law anyone?

[apo115]

Leverage, leaning forward. Soo looks like a prostitute btw.

[luisdgg90]

so… what...? 

[blaxomega]

she is doing simple aikido.... i did this with my wife and kids and it works!!! my two sons had trouble lifting my 5 yr old daughter...cool for scuffles also...

[feuchster]

I think it might be WHERE she is putting her hands on their arms. just a thought.

[funnyartist2200]

her shoes are like Link's iron boots lol

[Draious]

this is just fucking stupid. Is every tv program treating us like fucking morons?

[170turbo]

Funny how she has to be exactly the same spot each time.....

[TasteOfGreen]

49 people are pissed Discovery started doing a show about science.

[JacoTheSkunk]

"I've tried that excuse..." lol

[IvanDolcic2]

FAKE

[hansterpeace]

o_O

[burubudur12345]

like their previous show, this is also bullshit.

[XempireX18]

i should use this "basic physics" to do magics

[pentest]

One point. See: Aikido Unliftable Body. :D

[hawaiidispenser]

I think her arms stops them from bending their arms, turning the lift into a "front shoulder raise", rather than a sort of "clean n press".

Hey, Discovery is finally showing a show about... SCIENCE, instead of those stupid reality shows, let's show some support.

[phantomcreamer]

@hawaiidispenser Fer sure, the first guy she leans on his arms creating a "front squat" of sorts. Peach and cake.

[254DEUS254]

Don't worry. On Oct. 5th, we will know.

[alvinjason10]

discovery is full of those sucky reality shows now. sheesh

[humanidt]

i think she just presses on their arms, preventing them from using their full arm strength. she presses each of their arms

[redgreen09]

well you 37 pepel who dont like it fore me cant what will allwahys like em and wish do more bull shit shows and debunk more this have to do and like know whot shee did butt have whate tell after MYTHBUTERS one best shows this one going to be good to thay shud do a croses over

[Canadiankiid93]

@redgreen09 Are you uneducated? You sound like you are.

[oneeyedgeek]

@redgreen09 I have no idea what you just said. What language is it?

[call911forpolice]

som basic physi

[NewsPoliticsInfo]

Remember don't try this at home.

[TechGriffin]

Being as this is less than half a video I am unsubbing I have had enough of this half ass content, Fuck this DiscoveryNetworks channel.

[Meneltour27]

just watch the last part without sound ...

[xtreme666bio]

@Meneltour27 "And then I GRAAHH in my PANTS"

[colie577]

WHAT ARE THESE PHYSICS YOU SPEAK OF?

[DarthScosha]

Derren Brown can do this

[LiquidZ2k]

lol noobs... She is just leaning forward some, shifting the center of gravity and effectively making her far harder to lift. In other words attach 10lbs to a 6ft pole and try to lift it from the other end. Same principle.

[LINKTheReaper]

ill pick her up with my dick...

[skyvilla]

Totally B.S.

[myyota85]

.40 "i couldnt get her up" suck's to be you!!!!!

[spancer87]

What basic physics?????? Tell me!!! I won't be able to sleep tonight....

[KaliRoxYou]

My brother can do that :o!

[Boodhunnilesh]

Scientology has taken over Discovery RUUUN !!

[Boodhunnilesh]

Scientology has taken over Discovery RUUUN !!

[HansonProMusic]

Hard to tell from the video but....

Lift...feet together and stands straight.

No Lift...One leg forward with a slight forward lean.

...just a guess.

Come on Penn...plug your new show! That is what this is so SAY it!

[gof666]

@HansonProMusic I think she puts preassure on the the back of elbows of these guys, making them not weaker, but unable to streach they're arms (just a wild guess XD)

[k0d14k1]

Basically she just keeps their arms down at the inner elbow.

[lGalaxisl]

the point of this vid is that people would watch this and say 'héy?' and watch discovery to find out the answer...

[jirochi123]

i use to love discovery but now ........

[scuffle]

'magnets or other extra forces' =D

[nonamerus]

thank god natgeo is still keeping it real

[walker20082009]

this kindda show i used to see on the streets by dhotis i mean indians

[AmusingYeti]

Does Discovery just make fun of science now?

[THECOMMENTER10000]

What is the physics?

[spikesmth]

@THECOMMENTER10000 An almost imperceptible hop on the part of the woman allows her to be lifted easily. When she stands solidly, the lifter has to apply extra force to start her vertical momentum which is apparently too much for these guys.

[spancer87]

@spikesmth Did you see the arms of some of these guys?? They probably bench twice her wight.

[spikesmth]

@spancer87 Benching is not the same as a vertical lift.

[spancer87]

@spikesmth I've worked out a bit, so that I am fully aware of. But as a reference, if they bench twice her weight, do you thing it is unreasonable to think that she would be an easy lift? At least I don't think so.

[spikesmth]

@spancer87 As a former gymnast, who performed spotter lifts (like they're doing for the girl) there's a big difference between a dead lift and a jump-assisted lift. With a jump assist you can easily raise a heavy person over your head, without the jump it is difficult to lift a small person at all. It's all about which muscles are engaged in what way.

[poweronia]

@THECOMMENTER10000 I know. Bad place to cut the video @DiscoveryNetworks

[LivingSuSpence]

@THECOMMENTER10000 What are* the physics?

[THECOMMENTER10000]

@LivingSuSpence That is wrong usage since there is on such word as a 'physic'. 'What is the physics?' is correct

[hailmary7283]

@THECOMMENTER10000 they showed it on the episode today. It was basically that she shifted her center of mass backwards.

[MrShadowSami]

@THECOMMENTER10000 The video stops just before he starts to explain... This is kind of an advert to make you watch discovery channel to see what the basic physics is...

[THECOMMENTER10000]

@MrShadowSami Yeah they always do that here

[dgdfhfghgfhgfgffjhj]

@MrShadowSami

Start in reverse. Reaching straight forward and lifting someone by their hips is nearly impossible because of the leverage against their arms and the need to squeeze inward for grip. The trick is when it actually works

It worked the first time because she leans in on his elbows and pushes down with her wrists so he is actually lifting at his elbows. In the later attempts, her arms are straight and limp, and she is offering no assistance.

[isaacsmazur]

discovery is also so stupid now

[GMSamuelRhine]

@isaacsmazur i know seriously, i wonder if the same thing happened to discovery asia too.

[IvanDolcic2]

@isaacsmazur YEAH BUT STILL THEY HAVE GOOD SHOWS ETC DIRTY JOBS AND MAN VS WILD

[isaacsmazur]

@IvanDolcic2 i didnt specify. DICOVERY CHANNEL is amazing. but this youtube gig? nah. naht at all

[isaacsmazur]

second to none
