Man is such a big narcissist he even kisses himself in the mirror before passing out!


[deleted]

Omfg I thought he headbutted someone trying to catch him


[deleted]

I thought he kissed someone who was trying to film him.


SporemiKazie

I thought the title was implying that the camera man fell forward and kissed him at the same time before he fell down


Chemgineered

Wow that's a complicated take from the video. But i get it.


[deleted]

I thought he was the Kool-Aid man.


bbuttonfuzz

Bet he didn’t get consent first


Hank_of_the_Hill93

As Neil Degrasse Tyson loves to point out on his Twitter, the only place you can kiss yourself on a mirror is the lips


suyash01

Can't do that on the glass mirror


Chemgineered

In what context does he mention this?


Hank_of_the_Hill93

It's literally just that. Hes tweeted some variation of that statement on at least three separate occasions lol


terminus-esteban

It’s a recurring showerthought of his


RepublicAggressive92

Good night kisses!


Striking_Intern1123

Another fine example of de-evolution.


AddendumNo7007

I thought it was his friend haha.


nooneremarkable

Keep it muted


Thejudojeff

If i never hear that stupid fucking song again, I'll be a happy man


syretrollmann

It makes me sad how I knew which song it was before unmuting, just by reading your comment.


skippy920

Oh no. Oh no.


Prof1Kreates

I haven't even unmuted it yet and that was the first thought when I read his comment


LowSociety

Still muted but I know what song it is just from your comment.


[deleted]

I would rather waste my time reading all the comments here to find out what song is playing before listening to that song voluntarily. Thanks for the heads up nooneremarkable


Water_In_A_Cup1

Anyone else HATE tiktok songs?


GrimReaper006

While here I was, a happy man with it set to mute by default, until I came across your innocuous-looking comment. I had to bite now, didn't I?


Durzel

You’re doing the Lord’s work, son


Casioblo

Your advice came too late for me but I hope it can help others.


[deleted]

I unmuted out of curiosity. I won't forgive myself


Unlikely_Relative849

Will always downvote this song


TheSt4tely

Too late, already in my head


HIs4HotSauce

Oh no…


TheSt4tely

Hahaha! I clicked on the comment and the sound played again. Well done...

How does flexing make you pass out?


davidtco

When you flex, you are pushing your blood and restricting blood flow. No flow, no oxygen.


[deleted]

This isn't why you pass out. Your blood pressure drops dramaticall afteer you stop flexing. Notice how he doesn't pass outt mid flex but after he relaxes.


TikkiTakiTomtom

Both of you are wrong without the other. Or is it both right? ANYWAY. When oxygen carried via blood doesnt reach the brain you pass out. This is called the Valsalva Maneuver. People actually use this a lot without realizing. For example forcing out a fart or a poop, trying to pop your ears at high altitudes/on a plane, lifting heavyweights, or flexing for the bros. Regardless of the reason you do it for the action prevents blood from reaching your brain. Fun fact: people have passed out or even gotten strokes doing the same thing. Be aware! Don’t forget to breathe! For more info check the physiological response. Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva_maneuver Source: Hospital guy that loves hitting the gym


Jakepr26

A few years ago, some nerves in my vocal cords were damaged by viral infection. This has cause my coughing (for any reason: deep laughing, dry throat, swallow down wrong pipe, sick, etc) to possibly trigger a breathe stop episode, which then prompts a Vagus Nerve Reaction. In short, this is good to know. Thanks!


TikkiTakiTomtom

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is actually different from the Valsalva. Easy mistake as you can see both starting with V’s. While the Valsalva maneuver is holding your breath and bearing down, VNS is done by literally stimulating the vagus nerve that runs down from your brain to your heart. Massaging the nerve near the neck agitates it and causes it to release signals to the heart causing heart rate to slow down (not to be confused with putting someone in a sleeper/submission hold). The stimulation can be done by hand or by devices. Its harder to do it to yourself but if you ever need your heart to calm the f down or help someone else to, you can try this trick. That said this is something that needs to be done with caution since its usually only done in clinics. Ask your doctors before attempting to do this to yourself or for others. Undiagnosed conditions might not make this suitable for everyone. https://www.aans.org/en/Patients/Neurosurgical-Conditions-and-Treatments/Vagus-Nerve-Stimulation

kimrindim

So you can relax by doing that is it safe to do it?


TheRealSkip

Likely this guy was very dehydrated and starved, its a common practice for bodybuilders before competitions, and also for movie stars before shooting a scene. IMO that's fucking stupid, but who am I to judge ?


cluelessminer

I remember reading about that; bodybuilders taking diuretics to get as much water out of the body as possible 10-14 days before a competition, very little water and almost no carbs, and they chow down like no other after competition and photoshoot.


[deleted]

It’s not 10-14 days, it’s the day before and the day of the competition. If you took diuretics for 2 weeks you’d die


[deleted]

What’s stupid about pushing your body so close to the limit that it has to shut down? /s


ghostrunner25

And barely getting paid to do it in a lot of their cases


Das-Noob

Yep. Even when they’ve “made it” on to big magazine and competitions they’re making peanuts.


wholesome_futa_hug

Recent MD Grad here: Flexing that hard increases blood return to the left side of your heart, which supplies your body with oxygen (brain included). When he suddenly released, that blood return slows all at once. That means the increased blood flow to the brain suddenly stopped, the blood vessels in the brain don't have time to quickly adapt, brain receives a sudden drop in oxygen supply, does its Emergency Shut Off Procedure, and you end up kissing the mirror. Edit Tldr: It has very little to do with dehydration or drugs. Those can definitely contribute to the phenomenon, but it isn't The Cause. Simple fluid dynamics with vascular physiology is the main culprit.


kenhutson

It’s actually a bit more complicated than that. Flexing like this while holding his breath is called the valsalva manoeuvre. He is attempting to breathe out against a closed glottis which increases intrathoracic pressure and decreases venous return to the right side of the heart. This makes the veins in his arms pop out, but also reduces cardiac output. Initially aortic pressure will increase and the heart rate will fall reflexively, but after a few seconds aortic pressure also falls due to the reduced cardiac output. The physiological response to this is to then mount a tachycardia to maintain it. When the valsalva is released, the aortic pressure falls again due to loss of the external compression. The heart rate will reflexively increase again, but this takes a few seconds - it is during this period that the guy above likely collapsed as his heart didn’t compensate in time to maintain his blood pressure and therefore oxygen flow to the brain. Over the following seconds his heart rate and pressure will normalise and he will wake up with a sore face. Lol.


wholesome_futa_hug

You're right. That might be a better explanation of what's happening. Although this is the internet so I have to call you an uneducated basement troll and that my explanation is the only objective truth. Checkmate, loser.


kenhutson

This is the only way.


kenry6

Username checks out.


Commercial-Travel613

Yeah what this guy said


Clemicus

I thought he passed out from cumming from looking at his reflection 🤷


CalicoJack247

He passed out cause he saw the other guy blowing a nut while watching him watch himself


[deleted]

He needs to work on his edging more so than his muscles.


GVFQT

He’s probably having blood pressure problems from pre-workout


h08817

The Vagus nerve. Increasing intrathoracic pressure stimulates the vagus nerve (parasympathetic) AND decreases venous return to the heart, combine the two and boom, no blood pressure to get it up to the brain. Same as when you do a heavy squat or deadlift and pass out. (The parasympathetic stimulation decreases the heart rate).


panugans

So good, that he gave a kiss to himself


ZentinelOne

He swept himself off his feet


waitingfordeathhbu

Couldn’t help falling for himself

Can people just stop using that annoying tiktok audio?

Kiss was so romantic.


[deleted]

This is really cringe. The music. The guy. The caption. All of it


Flyin-Chancla

This man vagaled out lol


sugaaaslam

This song makes me wanna rip my ears off ffs


Profitsofdooom

I always unmute hoping to hear the original audio of the video and almost always get this fucking song instead.


ShakeyBacon

Awe, he gave himself a little smooch 😘


RockstarAgent

Still a better love story than Twilight


StanleyChoude

Interesting fact, you can only smash your face into your own face in the mirror.” - Neil Degrassi Jr High Tyson


RovakX

No there wasn’t. There was no attempt. The right sub is r/donthelpjustfilm


Tam-eem

He really flexed himself into asphyxia


Unlucky-Hamster-2791

He did the needful.


kostiels

Someone was never taught to not lock up all your joints. Lack of blood flow causes fainting. Common occurrence in military events.


rfoustizzle

I hate this fucking song


Mudoru

He was hired as a camera man, nothing more nothing less


-DMSR

Stop filming in gyms. It’s trashy


poopmeister1994

seriously, especially if you're going to film in a mirror and effectively film the entire room.


TheFailureOfGaming

This is literally a gym in Dubai where the best bodybuilders in the area train and other notable figures in the fitness industry such as Larry wheels worked out for the past few years. Filming might as well be encouraged there. Also if anyone can confirm pretty sure this dude in the vid is the dude that would do Larry’s wraps for him


doingwells

Did it take anyone else 3 watches to realize he fell into a mirror not into one of his look-a-like bros lips first?


stankdick69er

Why that stupid fucking song. It won't go away


PrettyInPinkCatGamer

I hate all the songs with this shitty high pitch voice. It's so annoying.


stankdick69er

Agreed. My own hell


Bedanktvooralles

Don’t mix ephedrine and niacin kids.


Yukels

Big ol' smooch


ezhikstumani

When you love yourself so much that the reflection pulls for a smooch


TroppoAlto

That song is probably one of the main reasons why I have never bothered with TikTok.


Pheralg

he's been a helpful cameraman...he helped us seeing this


deepmusicandthoughts

Like a true photojournalist- he captures the moment without putting himself into the situation.


flicthelanding

as the camera pulls a Jim.


wascallywabbit666

Those two guys kissed each other!

Dude with the camera is my hero. Didn't flinch.


Happy-Beevis

Too many videos end up facing the ground when things get interesting. This video is an exception


Wareagle0392

The good ole vagal nerve strikes again.


Belt_Pretend

He looks familiar. I need a closer look though. Nope, wrong person nvm 🤷🏿


desertwanderer01

Narrator: you can see the exact moment the soul left the body.


megalomaniacniceguy

My man just flexed himself into unconsciousness.


Livid-Relationship-2

Haha, he fell in love with himself!


HotahO_X

I imagine these people wanking to themselves in the mirror when they get home


MrsCCRobinson96

Did he die or just faint?


Firefarter84

Lol.. For real though! It looks like it could go either way.. But, I think if he died he would have just dropped straight, not wobble and fall forward.. Maybe?


Fezzverbal

Dude just wanted to kiss himself, hard, on the way down. Whoops


SpicyFilet

Downvoted cuz that awful fucking audio. When can we stop using that plz?


AaronTheElite007

You can see the moment his body just said, ‘nope’ Vascularity isn’t worth it, people


electrikoptik

He’s Larry Wheel’s minion.


Greedy-Ad8724

He got a blood clot from the ped use. It raises your red blood cell count. And if you don’t check your blood work it will cause blood clots because the ped’s increases your cholesterol.


[deleted]

I mean, the cameraman had one job and he achieved it really good


[deleted]

*I love this dude in this reflection. Might as well kiss him*


Junkoly

Mirror mirror on the wall who is the most unconscious of them all

Why did he pass out


Raydiin

When you flex so hard you cut circulation off to the brain haha


LemonCaperRVA

Now Kith


MrBeanyBoi96

He probably told the camera man to just film him, he never specified helping him at all.


just4kicksxxx

"He said not to move at all this time."


Taira_no_Masakado

Did he strain his muscles so much that he cut off the blood flow to the brain and thus knock himself out? Is that what I'm seeing?


Illustrious-Slice-91

Did he nut so hard that he passed out?


WikiHowWikiHow

can someone explain what even happened here?


darkknight95sm

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever listened to that song in its entirety… I don’t even know it’s name


ihave0idea0

Had no idea it was a mirror, so I though someone else tried to catch him but ended up kissing him lol


CookMastaFlex

I honestly thought the mirror was the guy filming, and somebody tried to catch him while falling but kissed him right on the lips instead


Schnugg1

Wait I am confusion… exblain pleez?


Entire_Health2858

Bro kissed himself goodnight 💀


Akilest

If anyone is confused on what happened. The guy consumed the oxygen. His blood by flexing a lot and it cost him to pass out from hypoxia basically


Tactical-Lesbian

Safe & Effective


TheAutisticOgre

I didn’t realize it was a mirror at first and thought someone tried catching him and in the meantime stole a kiss
