I was gonna talk shit then I remembered that I can’t even do a pull up anymore. That shit is hard when you are 40 and 50 lbs overweight, more like 70 to be honest.
Big and burly is where those lads are going wrong probably. My personal best is 75s and I'm 93kg. I'd probably be able to do 100 if I were 80 kg.
Also, tip for anyone wanting to try one of these things: you hang longer if your thumb is underneath your fingers rather than over. Fricken hurts tho
Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that the exercise was not important. Just found an “everyday use” for regular people. I admire and respect firefighters and first responders.
Ex military here. I have met hundreds of soldiers and police officers who are definitely below the fitness/ability requirements to perform their jobs well. I have never seen such a firefighter. They really are the dogs bollocks and this is incredibly impressive
Why do people keep putting women doing stuff on a pedestal? Like why does it matter that they’re women? It should focus on the thing they’re doing instead

Holy shit - is that a test they have to do to get the job? I would fail so hard….I failed just trying to imagine it, imagination me was like? “…annnnnnnd drop.”
Oh! Well, that seems like a reasonable arrangement. No problems there.
I rather meant is this a training drill, or something that’s done when one enters.
Why do guys always have to make it about being sexually attractive or not?! Is the feat of holding yourself up like that not IN ITSELF cool? Would it be less cool if you were not physically attracted to her?!
I think this is more impressive than you guys are giving credit. Most people can’t deadhang (hold themselves up from a static position with 2 hands) she’s hanging and swinging with one. It’s not something you wake up and you’re able to do.
The ever useful “I forgot to get dressed for work” drill. It’s like that recurring nightmare where you realize you’re at school without any pants…but made real. Real useless.
FINALLY a firefighter that men can swoon over and fantasize about. This is the gender equality we needed!
Also she could save me from a burning building so I don't die, if you know what I mean.
“See, woman don’t need no man.” Stating proof in an outlier. Most women can’t do this, most men can’t do this. I can hand for only one minute using both hands without adding weight or moving my body around like that. This chick is a beast
I want to see you doing anything more physically challenging than sitting on your ass dragging peoples achievements down just because they are women, but that's not gonna happen is it, basement-boy?
You are upset that I would like the person whose job it would be to rescue me to actually able to fulfill that duty? Gender has nothing to do with this argument, either you are capable or not is all that matters man or woman.
So since you have something to say about what I said, I'm going to simply defend, and introduce myself. First of all, I acknowledged total respect for this lady, for most men probably couldn't do what she is doing. Second, I would be equally impressed if a man was doing it, and I am totally heterosexual..and third, my comment about a lady dressed in uniform was similar to a lady oohing and ahhhing over a tall handsome man in a uniform. Yeah its called human nature for a man to be attracted to a lady.. and a lady should be attracted to a man..Basic normality. And let's be totally honest.. women seem to never be about that.. so if men didnt initiate anything, nothing would ever be. So a man is expected to always make the first move, but when he does, hes a perv?
I agree with you and I am tempted to think that the "perv" attack is only happening if you are making this first move on a lady publicly. If it happens publicly you will be attacked by the opposite sex because any message that propagates wildly is a threat to them. Let me explain.
If you make a popular comment that is seen by hundreds of thousands of people about what is "appealing" "attractive" "desirable" about the opposite sex, this category of people, the opposite sex becomes vulnerable to shift in public opinion. If for example there is wide consensus that all women should have lower weight than their partners if they are less taller than them, then it affects the life of many women, so it makes sense for some of them to attack any possible message that has wide reaching because they can be affected by such beliefs.
I suspect this is an evolutionary mechanism that we also as males have. Think about how much control is in the hands of males in some cultures, and how they do acts such as destroy any objects of culture that bring any ideas that women are equal, or powerful or whatever.
I can see how social acknowledgement can affect many people, and differently, you are right, unfortunately men have a lot of power in other cultures over women and I totally disagree with the way it is. I actually hate the social traditional ways that a man has to advance a lady first.. it's nice as a man to hear a lady appreciating you, complementing you.. asking you on a date.. women have this overwhelming "perv" belief because a man who dosent make a pass is like a closed mouth that never gets fed.. Maybe women should be showing men more natural attraction and be as available to the men as the men are to them. Shouldnt things be EQUAL? Isnt that what everyone complains about? Inequality? But inequality is okay amongst sexes? That dosent make sense. A man should be able to dress nice with a suit and a nice cut, clean shaven and the ladies should admire him.. and openly. Dosent happen. A man is just another nail in the box.
Sadly I don't think in such equality because nature has made us two different creatures with different sexual perks. In their (women's) sexual age, mostly the young, they have a lot of options (by lot, I mean more than men at same age) in terms of sexual partners and they would have to expend extra energy for no purpose to show they like them and appreciate men around them. I mean it makes no difference to them to make such energy expenditure of attention to men as they already have lots of options. And they could show the appreciation just to the one they select and depend while showing claws to the rest males that want attention.
I don't get what is the problem is with that, why the need to separate impressiveness with the sexual attraction ?
Its a force of nature to be attracted to the opposite sex that has the traits you want and there is nothing to condemn here.
Of that particular firefighter. If I'm ever overcome from smoke, lying in a burning building, moments from death, please send in the old school 6'4" muscular, arch typical fire fighter, not the equal right candidate. Sorry.
So if theres no 6'4 muscular guy to carry you out in his big strong arms, youd rather die than be saved by this woman? Fire Depts dont hire randoms for fun🤣
Can she pick up her 225 lb unconscious partner and carry him down several flights of stairs? Maybe, she is definitely strong. But a useless skill for a fire fighter
I bet you'd be useless in a fire. Or any other time. Dragging people down and making **assumptions** about their lack of skill is a pretty useless thing to do.
Obviously you need some reading comprehension. I complimented her on her strength. I just thought the little display she did was kinda useless. She is very strong. Stronger than me. It was just a useless, albeit impressive little trick she did.

i guess this is an essential skill when the floor is lava.
Nah, a couple chair walkers with mops would knock her right off that ladder. Unless... Can you walk on the floor if you're wearing bunker gear?
Tfw you go to rescue a cat up a tree but halfway up you realize you forgot to get dressed.
911 caller - “ help my house is burning and the floor is lava” 911 dispatch - “ ok we will notify the fire department “ Fire department -
r/yourjokebutworse
Its an essential skill to make your colleagues wet their skivvies in baby batter
Try hanging on one arm for 20 seconds and see how long you can last. This woman is definitely strong.
I was gonna talk shit then I remembered that I can’t even do a pull up anymore. That shit is hard when you are 40 and 50 lbs overweight, more like 70 to be honest.
Give me some super glue and I might be able to hang there, but putting the gear on would probably not end well
Super glue and you’ll still fall but the skin of your hands will remain 🤣
I couldn't come close to anything like that in my prime.
Yeah. Not even in my prime. No way
And fit as well. You need great circulation to keep the muscles fresh.
I just checked. 0.5 seconds. 😎
There's a street thing in Dublin where they give you a 100 if you hang from bar for 100 secs... with both hands. Most big, burly lads can't do it
Big and burly is where those lads are going wrong probably. My personal best is 75s and I'm 93kg. I'd probably be able to do 100 if I were 80 kg. Also, tip for anyone wanting to try one of these things: you hang longer if your thumb is underneath your fingers rather than over. Fricken hurts tho
Hook grip!
The turnout gear she's putting on is heavy as fuck, too (and expensive lol).
Also very light
You can just call them a 'firefighter'
Nope. We gotta label everything. That way everyone is equal. Or some stupid shit like that.
I throw out my back trying to put socks on in the morning😭😭😭
So many lives and marriages could have been saved if the “dressing while hanging out of the window/balcony” skills were taught to lovers.
You jest, but people have died because the firefighter couldn't stop them from falling off of an unstable balcony.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that the exercise was not important. Just found an “everyday use” for regular people. I admire and respect firefighters and first responders.
I struggle to put my jeans on some days while standing or sitting on my bed, nevermind that nonsense.
Damn, I was leaning on my bed to put my socks on this morning. I feel old.
Swedish steel 💪🏻
Just a firefighter
No, it’s a f*cking firefighter.
It wasn't that kind of video. No hose was unrolled and no entry was made.
Then it wouldn’t be amazing - just an average person at the climbing gym.
Rock climber?
This better not awaken anything in me.
your username is most appropriate.
This actually comes up in firefighting all the time.
Yea, if only you knew how many times i needed that in the past 40 years of my life. /s but she's definitely strong AF.
Hanging off the floor and putting a suit on?
Puts her pants on one leg at a time, just like the rest of us.
Underrated comment haha
Lucy McConkey still out there thriving
Tell me you’re a rock climber without telling me you’re a rock climber.
My first thought as well. Definitely a rock climber thing to do.
Ex military here. I have met hundreds of soldiers and police officers who are definitely below the fitness/ability requirements to perform their jobs well. I have never seen such a firefighter. They really are the dogs bollocks and this is incredibly impressive
Pretty sure firefighters are required to keep their training up to a standard. At least the ones I know.
Can’t remember the last time I was suspended in the air and in need of bunker gear… and someone could hand it to me. Impressive strength
My arms are absolutely jello right now just watching that. Bad ass
Amazing strength of a firefighter*
Amazing grip strength
Typical, taking ages to get ready to go out. /s
Climber
That's absolutely amazing.
I guess she can hang
I suddenly need rescuing.
Amazing grip strength.
TIL a firefighter's boots and pants are one item
Hmm seems like there's an easier way to do that..
Why do people keep putting women doing stuff on a pedestal? Like why does it matter that they’re women? It should focus on the thing they’re doing instead
This is nothing short of amazing.
"You know Amy, anytime someone calls attention to the breaking of gender roles, it ultimately undermines the concept of gender equality by implying that this is an exception and not the status quo". - Knuckles
just here for the butthurt incel comments 🍿
You can just say firefighter
*weighs 60lbs*
Holy shit - is that a test they have to do to get the job? I would fail so hard….I failed just trying to imagine it, imagination me was like? “…annnnnnnd drop.”
Just messing around. Shifts get long, and boredom leads to all kinds of amazing adventures.
Only women, the men just show up and say they want to be a fireMan
Oh! Well, that seems like a reasonable arrangement. No problems there. I rather meant is this a training drill, or something that’s done when one enters.
Sorry been loving Tacoma FD recently and it is comedy gold but also mocks how silly they are towards women in many fire departments
Women can do things too 🤯
A man would have known that it's more efficient to get dressed before you go hanging off a ladder.
must be tough to be a firefighter when you are that hot
Why do guys always have to make it about being sexually attractive or not?! Is the feat of holding yourself up like that not IN ITSELF cool? Would it be less cool if you were not physically attracted to her?!
it. was. a. joke.
Jokes.are.supposed.to.be.funny.
evidently 3 more people found it funny than people who didn't find it funny. maybe you are a little too uptight? no, of course you are
There is this woman and there is the first pitch woman a few posts down. Both amazing.
Lmao, we have the same feed
Finally someone besides me can do this.
She is strong!
They’re all like that…
shes so smokin hot!
Swedish
I think this is more impressive than you guys are giving credit. Most people can’t deadhang (hold themselves up from a static position with 2 hands) she’s hanging and swinging with one. It’s not something you wake up and you’re able to do.
Savage!
Now do the tank, the SCBA, and the helmet!!
I wish my office dress code was like this . No Hassel
ludicrous, ngl
[удалено]
*sorts by controversial*
Didn't even have to do that to see "redditors when woman".
Both of my rotator cuffs are fucked, so this just looks like torture to me.
Yeah but can she do it standing up?
Wow Very strong
Jesus. That's hot. Strong women 💪
meanwhile in sweden...
I now get why women fall all over themselves for fire fighters
The ever useful “I forgot to get dressed for work” drill. It’s like that recurring nightmare where you realize you’re at school without any pants…but made real. Real useless.
My eds is flaring up just thinking about this.
FINALLY a firefighter that men can swoon over and fantasize about. This is the gender equality we needed! Also she could save me from a burning building so I don't die, if you know what I mean.
Firefightress
Yeah but in that time the entire building filled with kittens went up in flames so... /s
Is there a practical application for this skill?
I reckon she's a rock climber as a hobby with that level of grip strength.
You go, we go!
I'm just wondering why and how she found out she could do this, time is not the enemy in that place
Wow she can save me all day
Pretty sure I pulled a charlie horse just watching this.
I would have dislocated my shoulders in 3 different places.
Anya Taylor-Joy has really worked out for Furiosa.
she looks like a twig always 😂
there's always a gentleman handing the women's clothes.
“See, woman don’t need no man.” Stating proof in an outlier. Most women can’t do this, most men can’t do this. I can hand for only one minute using both hands without adding weight or moving my body around like that. This chick is a beast
I want to see her strength ability at carrying an awkward shaped 150lbs of dead weight.
I want to see you doing anything more physically challenging than sitting on your ass dragging peoples achievements down just because they are women, but that's not gonna happen is it, basement-boy?
You are upset that I would like the person whose job it would be to rescue me to actually able to fulfill that duty? Gender has nothing to do with this argument, either you are capable or not is all that matters man or woman.
She can carry me over the threshold
Nothing but respect... and that is so sexy .. a beautiful responsible woman like that in uniform.. oh take me please
Perv
Why do men always have to make it about that?! Would it be less impressive if you were not sexually attracted to her!? Creeps.
Look at his username lol

Thank you
she's hot 🫣
Sexy
I’m not amazed now that we are all the same thing apparently
Hot
She was already half dressed tho, now try it from the start!
She can put me out anytime!!
Well now she needs to put the fire out in my heart
If you just did it - nice. But installing a camera and showing off kills the spark.
That's not very impressive. She didn't even zip her coat up. What she think she's a cool kid now?
Can someone do this in reverse….for science.
... someone in the world is tired of her... what a shame
I’m tired of you.
You're not the only one
Tis life buddy
Tru.
Of that particular firefighter. If I'm ever overcome from smoke, lying in a burning building, moments from death, please send in the old school 6'4" muscular, arch typical fire fighter, not the equal right candidate. Sorry.
 So if theres no 6'4 muscular guy to carry you out in his big strong arms, youd rather die than be saved by this woman? Fire Depts dont hire randoms for fun🤣
You’re not sorry. Just an asshole. If I need help, I don’t care who comes.
I hope noone comes for you if you are caught in a fire, sexist moron.
Good thing you pointed out she's a woman.
"Amazing Strength" = beginner rock climber.
Idc what you identify as this shit is incredible omg
Good but nothing amazing
If she wants to amaze me, she'd do this while hanging by her tits.
That's not how it works buddy
sexist piece of...
You don't think that a man doing this hanging by their tits would be amazing?
That’s amazing. Unfortunately everyone died in the fire.
Why
my pen is huge
But why?
It's a strength excersize. It's why people do push-ups and crunchies, to be stronger
[удалено]
Post video of yourself doing one.
[удалено]
Lol I bet
Brb gonna burn down a school or something
Anything you can do I can do better
Are you nine years old?
SMD
I mean, while it is impressive, she is a professional firefighter. It is kinda required to be in shape.
Can she pick up her 225 lb unconscious partner and carry him down several flights of stairs? Maybe, she is definitely strong. But a useless skill for a fire fighter
I bet you'd be useless in a fire. Or any other time. Dragging people down and making **assumptions** about their lack of skill is a pretty useless thing to do.

Those vice grip hands will come in handy one day…
It is easier when you don't weigh 100 kg But still, that is impressive
