Video: Irish man uses hand loops on the DART to perform pull-ups with his feet

That's one way to liven up the commute

Conor Heneghan

Not something you expect to see on the DART every day.

Such are the joys of life on public transport in Ireland that you don’t know what to expect from day to day, but seeing a man using hand loops to perform impressive-looking pull-ups using his feet is certainly a new one for us anyway.

Footage of a man doing exactly that on the DART surfaced on YouTube yesterday; apparently it was for a bet and if it was, then he won it in emphatic fashion.

Most of his fellow commuters didn’t seem to mind his feat of acrobatics (apart from the lad in the navy t-shirt perhaps) but it’s not something that should be encouraged or copied.

Entertaining though it was, working out on a moving carriage is something that can go very wrong very quickly.
