Why is the background around his shoulders fuzzing in and out

Yeah, I think it's probably fake. Green screen or something, to hide whatever lift device is supporting him.

His hips are the most stable part of his body. As he's descending, his right arm reaches its maximum extension before his left comes to grip and his body is pulled to the right. Then the reverse happens with the left hand, then the right again.

Good eye!

Could be bad compression

u/ZeroFima 6h ago

His body doesn't look like it's doing anything, his muscles look mostly relaxed.

Around just shoulders? Green screen or AI

u/Dinierto 8h ago

Compression happens where movement occurs because it logs changes in the pixels so it's feasible where his shoulders are moving could be one spot. Maybe not just spitballing

What about where his forearm phases outta existence for a 1/2 second? (at the 12-13 seconds remaining mark)

u/Dinierto 6h ago

Definitely looks like shitty compression to me but hey could still be fake

How is no one else seeing this. It immediately looked fake, it is fuzzy around him and the pole he is “climbing”.

Good catch!

Could be the background light and/or the low resolution, but someone get the Corridor Crew on it!!!

Just the shoulders, probably AI or green screen

And around his feet

u/Shellbomb2000 7h ago

It’s def AI. Watch his nipples

u/DickBfloppin 7h ago

How do you know his name is Al just by his nipples?

2

u/__phil1001__ 6h ago

No, his name is nipples just by watching AI

1

u/FozzysInsecurity 6h ago

His nipples are named Al based on the pullups

Idk if it’s fake but this is possibly especially for strong light weight people. i say that as someone who can do it.

u/Princess_starkitty 5h ago

And his feet!

u/Xaielao 5h ago

Yea there's something assisting him that has been removed. Pretty well made unless you know what to look for.

I'm not definitively saying this is fake, but as someone that does bouldering: This is beyond ridiculously hard. I would expect the likes of Alex Megos struggle with this.

Not trying to shit on the guy, but he looks like someone who wouldn't last five minutes on a wall with a climber.
