American bodybuilder performs the most extreme splits we’ve ever seen (Video)

"I am a God"...

Ben Kenyon

If seeing blokes doing the splits makes you cringe, then this next video will probably make your eyes water and your balls shrivel up and die.

It is brilliant, hilarious, impressive, perplexing and agonising all at the same time.

American Jon Call – or Jujimufu as he’s known online – is pretty good at doing the splits. But he just couldn’t leave it at that…oh no.

The muscular athlete, who combines bodybuilding and acrobatics in what he dubs ‘acrobolix’, took it a step further…nay, a whole Olympic leap further.

Normal splits are too tame, even chair splits have been done before, so Jujimufu added a few weights.

We’ve never seen anything quite like it.

First he performs the chair split with a 75lb (34kg) dumbbell held above his head with one arm. Surely that can’t feel good.

Next he graduates to holding a 100lb (45kg) barbell over his head while doing the splits. That really, really looks like it hurts…

But his latest trick is performing the stunt with a 100lb (45kg) neck harness. He truly is a God. We just wonder where the hell he’s going to go with it next…
