“Doing Jujitsu With My Grizzli”: Viral Video Shows Two Men and a Bear Working Out Peacefully in the Woods

What is the best place to work out? A well-equipped gym? One’s own house? A humongous home gym? Or outside in the snow, shirtless, with your best mate and a Grizzly Bear acting as your personal trainer? It might sound insane, but two Russian men chose the last option. They decided to indulge in some extensive bodybuilding workouts with a grizzly bear as their partner.

The tough men sparked quite a reaction on the internet when a video of them working out in the cold with a dangerous wild animal surfaced. This is how it turned out for them.

Bodybuilding with a bear

When the video surfaced on Facebook, it showed two men training in the woods, while a bear stood right behind them and it seemed like it was actually assisting them in completing their workout. The video was posted with the caption, “This guy takes outdoor workouts to the next level 

” The internet, as is the norm, couldn’t help but give some hilarious reactions. Someone commented, “What’s up mate? Nothing much just doing jujitsu with my grizzli”

An array of comical comments that would leave anyone in stitches followed this. As is very predictable, there were a lot of amusing bodybuilding references. Someone commented, “The bear said, ‘Yeah, man, I’ll spot you.'” Another person invented an amazing pun, “Going to do a couple more reps. Just Bear with me.” One person also pointed out the upside of having a workout bear, “All you need to help you get really fit is a bear!?!….see the cardio levels improve as you run for your life.”

For some people, it was simply unbelievable something like this was happening. Somebody commented, “The fact that anywhere in the world, at any given moment, there’s things like this happening is truly mind boggling and magical” Another person thought this might make good fodder for the Joe Rogan podcast and said:

“2 men and a bear working out
(Joe Rogan entered the chat)
Joe: have you guys heard of the bear that ate….”

While most of the fun was poked at the bizarre workout, many people commented on the Russians’ toughness.

The Russian men in the video also went viral

Russians are known for being tough, and for many people, this video was just another proof of that. One user commented, “The bear hires him for his protection.” Another wrote, “Others may think “crazy people” but this is how is done the Slavic way

“. Another Facebook user commented, “Everyone else: ‘doing yoga with their cat / dog in the background’ Russians : ‘watch this'”.

One thing is for sure, the video has presented people with a sight they never thought they would see. This might be the reason it is going viral. The video went viral on Twitter and has already received around 28 million views. On Facebook, the video has around 2 million views.
