These are construction workers being touted as “ingenious.”
Really? This looks like they are expending a lot more energy than either simply having 2 men pull the 90 pound bag up by hand. And it’s a lot more dangerous.
But the joke’s on us. What they are actually doing is practicing getting over the wall.
I guess that’s more ingenious than a simple winch?
Don’t even need a winch, just tie the rope to that big-ass tow motor and back the fcuk up!
Duh!
what do you call a 90 lb. bag in a 10 cent head?
That actually is an example of Mexican ingenuity. That is also why they haven’t exactly been the pioneering engineers of the industrial age.
90 lbs x 20 reps would probably be a decent triceps workout and get the damn bag up the wall.
Someone needs to hire that Hogg punk.
Actually, if one guy’s body weight can lift the bag, the hand-over-hand method would work with one guy. Certainly the two acrobats could do it.
….Or they could’ve taken the service elevator….
If you had 97 more of them….could one of them have written Shakespeare?….
This is why a 5.0 earthquake that would cause no damage in the U.S., would cause buildings to collapse killing 10,000 people in turd-world countries.
btw, … is it any wonder why they never invented the wheel (even after several centuries of the introduction of horses by the Spanish?) & now speak a European language?
RG LeTourneau wrote in his book, Mover of Men and Mountains, that when he was a young man just starting out. He was working in a foundry shoveling sand like a mad man. Working up quite a sweat to impress the boss. The foundry boss after observing him said to him, ‘Young man I do not require you to work hard. I only require you to work fast’.
Advice he remembered and made a principle he later applied to his invention of huge earth moving machines.
These guys haven’t yet discovered how to work smart rather than hard.
otoh, I guess it could be good training for getting over the Trump border wall fast.
Obviously an ancient building technique, taught by space aliens and passed down the generations for thousands of years, from the time of the building of the first Mayan pyramids.
still dont know how Bowie and Crockett lost to Santa Anna.
Then there was the boss of the Hoover Dam project, when asked how many men were working for him, he replied “about half of them’.
Charlie Walksonwater –
Sheer numbers-just like now.
No. It’s an example of abject laziness, and no equivalent to OSHA in existence.
