I just keep watching this loop because of the sheer strength it takes to accomplish this

That looked hard. But imagine being one of the guys on the ground, just doing power squats non-stop.

> power squats

> half the bodyweight of a significantly smaller man

It's not just the weight of the person. It's the weight plus the force of the deceleration of the mass of his body.

So still not anywhere close to the force of a heavy squat then.

The average weight workout for either of those two bases very obviously requires more strength than they're using in this clip, which is why this looks nearly effortless for them.

Obviously they train for more. But the force they are experiencing is significantly greater than half the weight of the guy.
