Blind Folded Workout. Can It Help?

[@lanceausnz5997]

YAY Just a few comments 1. I love the natural content you are posting, nothing is forced or overhyped. Who hasn't wanted to throw screwdrivers at a board or try and try something blindfolded, it's all real and believable. 2. I love how everybody is offering great feedback to help you grow your KZbin channel, everybody wants nothing but success for you. 3. The front flip from ring to ring may not be a new skill but it definitely would help with hand to eye coordination and reaction. 4. The way you talk, actually feels like you are talking to me directly rather than just at the camera. This is a skill not many people can do, and it comes naturally to you ... YAY. 5. I would love you to have a one on one with some circus trapeze artists, I reckon Pedro in Vegas would have a great time getting you to try different things, he was well impressed with you when you went with Magnus. You are the first person I ever subscribed to on KZbin ... and then an hour later I felt guilty and subscribed to Magnus "Meatball"

So Anton, you just proofed in your videos, you have knowledge in physics, math and biology. Besides doing that crazy other stuff. I'm impressed.

He talked about quantum physics in a previous video lol. The Observer slit experiment

[@DeuPKay]

YOu didn't learn about these subjects in school wtf?

[@evanstarr2943]

The connections Anton has made are cool. The gym all to himself at 2am, that’s a real grind.

[@philaeew4866]

This is a great idea well-executed and very engaging to watch. However, one thing I think you could improve on is your titles - to get more traffic/views, your title should reflect your video content in an interest-waking way so that people who don't know you will click on it and get to know your content. Something like "Ninja warrior parcour - blindfold challenge!" would probably attract more attention, the titles you put are usually nice but not as informative. This is meant to be constructive criticism, I hope you don't take offense in it; your editing game is already on point and your content is super engaging, I think this channel will grow super fast if the algorythm notices non-subscribers click on it often. All the best :)

[@lanceausnz5997]

This is a great suggestion

[@HoodlumMedia]

@@AntonFomenko don't forget to optimise your descriptions too! There's a lot of content out there for optimising your videos for YT rankings, although you should use prudence in selecting your advice as it can be an echo-chamber of advice that has no meaning (as with a lot of marketing advice). Above all though, i think the genuineness off your content speaks for itself. Don't let your time be overrun trying to over-optimise every detail in technical end, you'll get diminishing returns on the time you invest. Make that stuff easily repeatable so you spend 5 minutes on it, not hours 🙂

[@harkain]

I'm a simple man. I hear "yaay!", I upvote.

[@arielduclos8178]

It is an inspiration to see you try and try again until you finally succeed! And the final flip was so cool!

[@silencerko]

anton: i dont know why, but it's harder than it looks like me: wait how do you know what it looks like, you're blindfolded

[@aidanloeser4890]

"Why should I wait when I can do it now?" You always have me thinking that you're going to end the video and then you manage to gift us more time and energy and do another obstacle (or a few). I'm loving these videos. Thanks!

[@dougharp3990]

That front flip transfer is the most ninja thing ever. Insane Anton!

[@Nogarda_]

Omg that was such a funny cut for the first warped wall attempt. for some reason I just thought you were going to attack it, but then we got that instead. But I loved how even as a viewer I was invested in your success as you adapted and got higher and closer with the big wall. You're just fun to watch, especially when you bring us into your thought process for the next set of clips.

[@ZeroSight55]

Love your videos. I would be interested to see more videos on your training. Programming, ideas, thoughts, methods, goals, etc. Really enjoy your content

[@c0ck7aiL]

you are a big inspiration for me. thank you for making videos :)

[@MrSpeedPhreek]

I love how you aren’t afraid to try new things to get better at what you do. I hope you have a safe trip and hope to see more videos soon.

[@robertflint4115]

Love the videos and appreciate you opening your life to us (the public)..I look forward to your return. Safe travels, Flint

[@sethgilbertson2474]

That was awesome! As you describe your approach to challenges, I can’t help but think of your gymnastics background. I used to be a coach and that is the same way you build skills safely in gymnastics. I see a congruency with climbing as well! Can’t wait to see what you post from home!

[@MrSfep]

I want to make some remark about inner ear and experiment with earplugs. Earplugs will not affect your feeling of balance at all. Semicircular canals are the part of inner ear and have a liquid in it and also inner receptors to detect a movement of this liquid that will change depending on your head position. So earplugs will make you just hard of hearing. Sorry for my meticulousness :D

[@MrSfep]

If you pay more attention to what I said you will notice (maybe) that my statement was about earplugs will not affect a sense of BALANCE and that's all. Anton said that he was expecting earplugs to affect balance. And they will definetely not. Point out exactly what i have said wrong? Even with that said your other statements about 'emotional beings' '5 senses to make awareness' have no sense. What does emotions have to do with senses in that context? Awareness of what? Vision gives you ~90% of information about environment and yes, it also helps to orientate your body in all directions. Test with closed eyes is called Romberg's test. It will be harder to stand like that for each one of us. So once again what is your point? You said blocking ONE of all senses out will make things harder. It will. But what things exactly? If you can't smell or hear anything will it make harder to run, jump, coordinate, do flips, be a well gymnast? I think the answer is no.

[@MrSfep]

Ok, dude. That was a bad idea to even start responding to you. I was expecting some arguements in defend of your words but it seems you can only shifting from one unreasonable statement to another that are far from initial subject. It's either desire of dumb polemic or you are really logically biased. So good day to you, sir :)

[@ГалинаФетисова-ю4м]

@@MrSfep Didn't Anton said that its likely a "placebo effect"?

[@MrSfep]

@@ГалинаФетисова-ю4м да, говорил. "или самовнушение", но он это сказал к тому, что чувствовал себя как-то иначе, но что именно иначе, непонятно. Равновесие или что-то иное. Я просто привел справку о том, что беруши никак не повлияют на чувство равновесия. И все. Даже извинился за дотошность) Я совершенно не пытался Антона дискредитировать своими словами :D А то люди как-то не так понимают эмоциональный контекст моих слов)

[@shaggy0917]

Big wisdom @ 7:56, after first completion front flip: "I can't say right now I gained a new skill; it's just a process ... To understand that you've got it, you have to do like 100s of 100s." KZbin stumbled me here and I'm happy it did :)

[@mashrien]

Here from Magnus- You're an amazing guy, and you say this "looks easy" but it doesn't. I've never done that but I can't even imagine just how difficult that must really be. You do *truly* deserve to win Ninja Warrior.. You've got a kind personality but you're also incredibly determined and driven. I hope you win the next competition Anton. PS; Love this type of content, pushing your limits to better yourself. Not just to be better for the competition but because YOU want to be better yourself.

Yay! Excited to see how your channel grows & develops Anton!

[@armwrestlingelysium]

No joke this dude is real life ninja. He does unbeliavable af things. Just wow.

[@qp0.02]

Couple of cool training exercises to try - balance on one leg eyes open, then balance on one leg eyes closed. It demonstrates how visual sensory information assists with balance. Then for vestibular system and proprioception training buy some safety goggles and restrict your peripheral vision by painting the edges with black paint and using tape which is allows light but not v=clear vision - this way you can still see a sliver but can reduce it over time.

[@qp0.02]

If sensory restriction training is the goal use earplugs (won't affect balance), put your hands in an ice bucket so they are numb.. etc, I like where you are heading with this training, very cool!

[@talacocheta9001]

It's great that you don't cut all the failed footage, if you would that would really be a disencouragement. It is great that you show all the work that has gone, or some of it, on a certain movement!

[@kamron_thurmond]

People have been doing Martial arts blindfolded to hone their abilities for generations. So it stands to reason that this with plenty of caution and practice could be beneficial to other physical exercises like Ninja Warrior too.

[@tonyvsa96able]

The cochlea is responsible for hearing while the vestibular system is responsible for balance.

[@boonxai]

4:45 Yeah I think it's just placebo. Fluid moves inside of your ears so I don't see why having earplugs in your outer ear would change anything.

[@BigBigFlo]

Agreed. The external and middle ear are responsible of receiving and treating sound, the inner ear is totally different and only balance focused. (correct me if I'm wrong)

[@HighChancellorAdam]

I love how he said "California" - reminds me of my high school Russian buddy. Great video as always, thumbs up!!

Really enjoy your videos. The interaction, athletic skills and video editing. What actually interests me, is - knowing that you do your editing yourself, where did you learn it from or could you do a video (tutorial) of you editing your videos in the future? Would like to know your thought process if I ever decide to edit any videos myself since I enjoy your style of editing. Btw, what's the song playing at the end of the video?

If you ever get a chance it'd be cool to see you train with a pro wrestler, Anton. Between the acrobatics and the break-falling at the beginning of the video you have a lot of the basics (and advanced stuff) down! :)

These videos are nice and relaxing to watch after a workout. Please bring Magnus to Russia.

[@aht8548]

That's very interesting, what you said about "Not-Hearing". Of course it's always very different, when one sense is missing, but for me (who has never done any gymnastics or anything) I would've said that Not-Seeing is far more difficult than Not-Hearing. But it makes perfect sense that it can affect your balance. I really like what you're doing and I have the feeling that every video you uploaded so far had an important message in it, which I can transfer into my very own life. Thank you for that! And maybe you could show us the Not-Hearing-Thing as well?

[@Ollowayn]

Hey Anton, this was amazing to watch. Something else really. But please watch out not to hurt yourself. Like you said, if you go off the side of the warped wall you have no control.

[@Muck006]

Grabbing the ring is probably easy because ... a) it isnt a fixed bar and thus will start to move with you, reducing the force required to hold on b) it has different heights, which makes it easier to find a spot to hold on, whereas a straight bar would not give a point to grapple if you hit it with your wrists for example

I don't have anything nerdy to say about this one xD Will you be back in the US soon? Don't know why, but some of those falls and flops at the beginning of the video reminded me of flipping my wheelchair over and kneeing myself in the chest. Anywho, fun video! Before you try obstacles, maybe just try blindfolding yourself in your own home? It helps train yourself with visualization of the room you're in.

[@lanceausnz5997]

I had a friend (RIP Joseph) who played wheel rugby, flipping his chair while training and randomly kneeing himself on just about every upper body part just bought back beautiful hilarious memories. Thank you, your innocent comment has just made my day 😀
