@@muffinconsumer4106bro what

This seems like the best comment on the video. Thank you for this!

​@scarlet_message3207how is that in anyway sexist? women get 2 bars be grateful

@scarlet_message3207 No it’s isn’t, women are proven to be lighter then men.

And it's exactly what's different between the two. Women's gymnastics show cases the beauty, elegance and grace of the performers. Men's shows off power and finesse. It's incredibly difficult even for professional gymnasts to perform the other genders routins.

I agree

@NQH only weird people feel the need to make this comment. What a strange thing to say. Have a Capri-sun and get off the internet for a few… years.

@@mgsquared5204 ???

​@@mgsquared5204 cry about it my god

Men's parallel bars are also made of wood and fiber glass. They can also be offest and adjusted into a position reminiscent to "beat bars", or how uneven bars used to be set. Female gymnasts used to bounce and swing from bar to bar. The bars were also not a cylinder shape, they had the same shape as parallel bars.

@@colbey32 Yup, back in the days when you could stand on the bar and do a backhandspring to catch it. I'd add that the bars used to be just wood, fiberglass was added because they just kept breaking, lol.

​@@colbey32 In Turnen (a Sport) in Switzerland, the Stufebarren are exactly that, parallel bars set at different heights. What's really fun is we'll do routines with multiple people (sometimes even mixed men and women) and multiple sets of bars. It's super fun and really reminiscent of the old days, especially when bouncing off the lower bar back up to the top bar or holding the top bar, catching the low bar with your hips, and going straight into a back hip circle. Just gotta bend the knees on the circle so you don't crack your shins on the high bar. 😅

The old uneven bars were originally placed so close that the gymnast could hang by their arms from the taller and have their hips/thighs lay on the shorter

Yes those gender war become new holy wars

Yeah it’s crazy how people can turn that around so easily, cuz yes mass and strength is on average greater in men, but that doesn’t mean women aren’t amazing at the sport

Honestly glad he at least tried. I like his content but God do people in the comments fight for no reason to pit genders against each other.

They’d be offended for him telling the truth

People are really turning basic biology into a war..

Yes but obviously that doesnt happen a lot Why so many likesssss

They're made of fiberglass. If they were still they would never snap like that, they would bend. I see too many braindead people that are just accepting "facts" from KZfaq and it's scary tbh

​@filipaleksander2694 oh yea ur right. I'm literally taking a class on how steel breaks and it does not snap like that because it's ductile.

And he also chose to break the bar. Like you could see how much he was swinging on it.

@@adabitterhand4011 um no. That's just how to tap for a skill called a tkatchev

Aint no way they tryna say this is sexist💀

In today's day you cant really comment on any differences without someone having a problem with it

For real bro,

​@@michaelkelly4533true

OMG, thank you for being one of the rare sane ones here! There's really zero comparison between the two, which is why the bars are made out of different materials! Different goals, different routines, different bars. And they all seem to forget that parallel bars are also wooden...

There are actually similarities, such as the same events ( As in shared events like the floor and vault), they both have difficulty and execution scores they both have bars just made out of different materials. So they are both gymnastics, just different ways of doing things. So in certain aspects you can compare but they do have a LOT of differences. We are sane, and people just need to figure out how and when you can compare the 2.

They also fail at each other's events because girls are naturally more flexible and have practiced balance beam or uneven bar and guys haven't. Same with if a girl tried pommel horse it would be so different because we don't do skill like that. You can compare the two but certain aspects you can't.

yeah, uneven bars are a completely different apparatus, some skills are just similar.

Exactly, there’s multiple series I’ve seen from different gymnasts where a man and a woman who are both either competitive or pro (or both in the case of pros) will swap and test out how good they are at the other genders skill set that the other person is trained for. The results are always entertaining and it shows just how different the two sports are since often each person struggles with the skill set they’re not familiar with/trained for.

stick whacking has been around since the dawn of civilization.

Monkeys

We're basically just less hairy monkies, it's really not that surprising

training used for soldiers probably

Oh! Finally a normal comment! The strangest part of this sport is that we didn't drop it 100y ago but actually developed technology to do even more crazy shit in those bars lol

He literally said this in the video

@@aureus79 not exactly, he said men are on average stronger, which is true! but in case anyone thought "that can't be the only reason, there's strong female gymnasts too", i gave a different explanation:p

Shhhhhh! Don't speak of such things! You'll bring upon yourself the hoard of people who will call you sexist for speaking of basic biology.

I'm taller than the average female gymnast

@@shazana1058 Not sexist to acknowledge physiological differences why applicable and relevant. Most people get up in arms about trying to say men and women have different emotional and intellectual ability. Most women know that a weaker man is sometimes stronger than a strong women. For example.

He broke one once

@@sci-fye1388 well if enough stress is applied then it can still break. But this is better than a lot of materials that will break over time regardless of the loading.

All it needs to do is reach plastic deformation point. It doesn't matter how much past it it goes, it all adds up, so over months, years, or decades, you can work harden the pole, causing it to break 'randomly.'

​@@autumn5592 thats what he means, as long as the deformation stays below that threshold, you can deform it over and over forever.

Actually with stresses like this over time steels properties change. Every bend creates heat. It may seam miniscule but added up it wall harden further but be more prone to shear then.

Literally me

​@@rishidixit3983yeah

Antipsychotics would do wonders in this comment section.

The men's bar is also SO MUCH EASIER to hold on to. And no one here is mentions it. So much ignorant nonsense about women's spines. No one mentions that the gymnasts with the smaller hands are the ones who have to manage with the thicker bars. its much easier to peel off the thicker bar and end up on the mat.

Also some gyms put like a plastic bar with tape around without gloves

@ae2948 are u a women? Because you said SO MUCH EASIER TO HOLD ON MENS BAR THAN WOMENS. Because i think its very equal❤

@@ae2948 wow those are some mental gymnastics... smoking that copium pipe dumb feminist

Thank you for saying that, I’m not a gymnast so when I heard that the women’s is fibreglass my first thought was concern about the bar’s strength, bare hands near snapped fibreglass is a terrifying image so I’m glad to hear the bar is suitably strong

​@@rainbowflowerpower4464 the bars do occasionally break, but since women gymnasts are normally incredibly light (Simone Biles is 4'8" and 100 pounds) it does not break under the pressure most times. men gymnasts however can't use these bars because they on average weigh 100 pounds more

Yea it sound pretty consirning

I often got painful blisters on my hands from gripping my wooden broom/mop handle when I cleaned my kitchen floor. And I'm not sure if this is comparable to chalk that gymnasts use, but I often had my hands covered in flour from baking my cakes, and I still got blisters. My grandma had a mop with an aluminum stick, and I didn't get blisters from gripping it when I used it to mop her floor. Since then, I made the switch to the aluminum stick, and I never got blisters again. It's also satisfyingly cool to the touch. Now don't get me wrong, I don't know if it works the same way in gymnastics. Maybe it's a different case for you guys and you don't get blisters because of the chalk, but I honestly think they should all be metal.

​@@bellebonebag8096 Everyone gets blisters and calluses, and sometimes the calluses will rip off and bleed. Bar work is SUPER rough on the hands.

This is just.., not true. I did womens gymnastics until JO level 8. You switch your grip depending on the element. There are lots of elements where you grip with the thumb on the other side of the bar.

Ummm look again. The woman grips it with her thumb as well.

Wrong.

I just had a quick and your right it's really fast and you miss it, tbh I did the sport myself for a LONG time and I never used my thumbs AT ALL...

Toxic femininity

right, it's common sense... the society went a lil bit crazy with the feminism mentality, manipulating it so easily, twisting the original idea of equality. you explained it very well, to me

Shut up hole.

@@jimmyengland428 wtf??

I like to think of male and female roles as food and water. Food can't prevent dehydration, and water can't prevent starvation. Both are equally essential, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. One is not more valuable than the other

@@declanhugors eloquently said 👏

What does that have to do when an entire person is coming down on a pole. your center of balance does not matter in that case.

@@djdavisiscool that's pecause when you're sliding down a pole you're going down straight, in a vertical line. With a gymnastics bar your doing tricks on a horizontal bar, thus using that fact.

@@Artoast_AQ what does the center of gravity have to do with how much the bar bends. You were swinging on the pole all of your weight is going in that direction it doesn't matter where your center of gravity is force is force.

@@djdavisiscool listen, ok? Google it. Good day 👋

​@@djdavisiscoolwhen you're swing around the bar the center of mass absolutely matters; since women's center is lower down their bodies it's further from the bar(the axis of rotation) so they accelerate around it more easily

Idk when my coach makes me do giants on the girls bar, I am veeerryy hesitant. I like my thumbs wrapped 😂

it’s easier to grip ur u do also get A LOT of blisters from the women’s bars we were tested on the boys equipment once and with the men’s bars they r a lot more cold and slippery and you don’t get blisters from them even when u rnt wearing hand guards

Because women typically don't need thicker bars usually because women are usually smaller and weigh less

The guy in this video broke a steel bar while using it He would break the other bars on a daily basis 😐

As a male child I liked gymnastics in sports lessons, then came puberty. I wish we would hace changed from steel to carbon fibre, cause boy o boy was that uncomfortable. ^^ ( and yes we have both ground and air gymnastics in sports lessons here in germany )

so because steel broke once all of the building that are standing because of the steel rebar will fall?

Steel is one of the strongest metals that has a good amount of malleability, therefore is the best option, also he was trying to break the bar in that video

or maybe he just said on average and not everyone is permanently online

? Werido

@@shay4261 he didn't say that men bend them more on average tho so your reason can't be true

@@aster2790 he did..

@@shay4261 oh ok then lmao

Could be both because build, as in the bone composition and density does affect the torque, meaning force, applied by the skeletal muscles. Ex: Males have longer arms so the arm lever system for them creates more force in comparison to a woman. In addition, Males have more fast twitch fibers than women, which affects their source of substance use. Men use more carbohydrates, which is less energy but a quicker source, than lipids, which is what women tend to rely on for fuel. This quickness of energy availability can impact the prolonged use of power/force used by the muscles during the short period of the routine and, likewise, affecting the amount of stress on the bar.

You could have all the strength in the world, if youre hanging on a steel bar theres nothing you could do to break it with brute strength

@@unclebary1866 Not with brute strength but through stress. The young man did not use brute strength rather he stressed the bar with his weight and some force applied to build momentum/swing himself around, but not necessarily brute strength. Although, good point, females are less likely to break the steel bar and if brute strength was the only factor, the male is more likely to bend/break the bar while the female would barely even come close to doing the same.

Also the bar tricks in women's gymnastics are usually more precise and slower, rather than flying around more.

@스웨그 are u dumb, I didnt say you could break the bar with strength I said the exact opposite

Damn, what women have you been living with?

​@@84rinne_moo This. Hence, wood. They were never meant to be treated like a high bar. They've evolved into a new event in their own right that descended from p bars.

Thank you! I was confused when he said steel is “flexible” when beams that construct buildings are made of steel.

@@Fuzzysea693 Actually structural beams also bend to an extent - by design. Skyscrapers, bridges etc. are designed to flex with the wind and large ships are designed to flex with the waves. One of the reasons steel is so useful as a construction material.

@@dinamitemaster Exactly. If the metal beams in buildings weren't flexible, then they would be very vulnerable to earthquakes.

The bar is completely solid

Yeah 😢

Technically shutter speed is wrong, but, essentially the same idea.

Nah, hollow bars are actually worse when you need them to bend, as they will tend towards crumpling instead of just bowing. If you wanna see just how flexible solid steel bars are, look up a video of deadlift competitions. Those bars look like theyre about to snap sometimes.

both gender have different builds so it just makes sense

Lol

Yep, changed it from top comments to the newest and started digging! 🤣

Basically men and women gymnastics are different to account for the different physical builds of men and women.

Women's uneven bars evolved from men's parallel bars. The first bars women used were just a set of p bars with one being raised all the way up and one being pretty low. Since then, over the decades, the bars have become more sophisticated and set further apart for more/different skills. Meyers from Jezebel has no idea what she's talking about. There is no resting on the bars at all.

@@conquistadorrocket ahh okay. That’s interesting. Thank you!

No, but it’ll critically deform under the weight of the balls needed

Are you high, Kayla?

Why are you lying? Men stand on it too...

@@wintermelon3818 but do they spring to a other bar and bc woman have smaller body's but that is'nt sed like a thousend times

No

these bars cant be any safer

fr

Basically yeah, I think men require more muscle mass to do gymnastics, and like the vid said, men on average do more straining moves, especially for their weight

Men and woman are quite different biologically, men are supposed to eat more because they naturally gain more muscle mass and weight, which makes their effect on the pole much more significant, on average at least

@@swiggah I figured. I've seen a couple of shorts about this but none specifically mentioned weight differences.

The reason it’s different is actually cause the uneven bars started out as a set of parallel bars with one bar set to a different height. The uneven bars have gradually changed to what we have today but the materials it was made of never did (or at least never had a reason to)

No, the men use wooden bars, too, just on the parallel bars instead. The reason is exactly what Moo said: they started out as p bars and evolved from there. It has nothing to do with strength or weight at all. It's just a completely different event.

You are right. Seeing the history of the uneven bar event is really interesting! Since as you said it started out as same parallel bars, just with one adjusted to different height, and then gradually evolved to what we have today.

Steels elasticity (that is, its ability to just bend and spring back under force that would break other materials) is actually the main reason its useful. Most springs are made of steel, as are many cables, and even strings for instruments (piano wire is steel, as are many guitar strings). If you wanna see big steel bars flexing, look up a video of a deadlift competition, those bars look like the weights are just gonna slide off the ends from how much they bend.

That’s why buildings use rebar

Because it bends more when its skinnier

Are you like 7? Isn’t it common sense to know if something is thinner then it is more flexible

Steel is strong enough that we're it to be the same size as the women's bar it litteraly wouldn't bend. If you're making bars out of steel and want them to bend then they have to be thinner

Somebody is a bit fucking salty

Are you dumb?

They also use it because they do different tricks need to stand on top of the bar

@@Tropically5 that’s debatable. It implies you can’t do the same tricks or stand on a steel bar. Which you definitely can do.

It's because women are lighter so you don't need a steel bar and wooden fiberglass is cheaper than metal so why use the more expensive option if you don't need it

​@@ashlinntuning1921 Standing on a flexible bar and keeping balance is much harder than standing on a stiffer bar and keeping balance.

Yes more ppl should know this instead of flying off the handle lol 😂

Exactly. Women technically carry the babies which leads to population growth (cuz they’re the ones that get pregnant) which is why men are biologically stronger to protect them in this state
