I saw this suggested video and had to comment here too! The CTI was coined by Jasper Benincasa in the 1940's. He was the only one known to have performed it, and had a picture of it (more on that later). I met and spoke with Jasper's student, Jack Arnow, many times and Jack said that the CTI was not a matter of getting the body vertical. It was about lowering down from the bar and stopping when the arms were horizontal - that was the deciding characteristic. Jasper had also said the legs were held loose underneath, so that the body resembled a "7", as opposed to the 90/90 angles discussed. Jasper called it a "Close To Impossible" because it was so difficult to hold (his best was 3 seconds) - and this says a lot coming from a guy who could do multiple one arm chin-ups and one arm back levers! For the longest time, the only photo available of Jasper's CTI had the legs cut off, so there were doubts. It was an old picture from the 40's (it's amazing it survived as long as it did). Anyways, in 2012 after Jasper passed, his daughter was looking through his things and found ANOTHER picture of the CTI from the same instance as the original "leg-less" photo. Jasper's daughter sent a copy of the picture along to Jack Arnow, Jack sent a copy to me. This new photo clearly showed Jasper's entire body, as well as the hand written title "The CTI". Looking at the original photo and the new photo, it seems clear that some short period of time has passed (a few seconds), which would indicate a hold. This is incredibly impressive and in my opinion the holds we see going around now and days replicate Jasper's original hold quite well. For all these attempts, pressing out the arms straight doesn't seem like the preferred way Jasper got into the skill (instead lowering down with straight arms) And attempting to get vertical/90 degrees is not needed, and as you mentioned is physically impossible. Not trying to plug my website, but you can check out the CTI pictures and my analysis on the page titled "Jasper Benincasa: A Memorial". Pardon if the site is a bit wonky right now. Lastly, Jasper Benincasa day (March 25th - his birthday) is coming up soon! It's a day we all try feats of strength (usually a crank, one of his favorites!) Thanks and cheers!

Excellent video! The CTI is not physically impossible, but in practice with Earth's gravity it could only be done by someone with wrist extensor muscles in the forearm as strong as a car engine and hand skin so rough it won't rip. It would be cool to try this and other moves on a planet with much lower gravity (or send some street workout athletes on the Moon). This move was named by Jasper Benincasa, there's a picture of him holding it with an oblique body (so center mass is in line with the bar) and no false grip, he used something like sap to keep a strong grip on the bar. Also some of the CTI attempts in the end of the video are faked by using a thin rope that is not visible, Leon Pilous has a video about this trick.

History of the CTI: the name was coined by Jaspar Benincasa. He was definitely the best bodyweight strength person of his era, if not of all time. Check out this great tribute to him from Jim at beastskills.com: www.beastskills.com/jasper-benincasa-a-memorial It also includes an analysis of the CTI, and an argument that Jaspar may have actually done it.

This move is actually allot easier then people think :') well if you don't train correctly or train too much each week then it might not be, anyways all you have to do is hold yourself at the top of a muscle up position, then just move your body a little bit away from the bar and hold it, over time you will be able to get the angle lower and lower until you hit this position, or you can hold the top of a pull up position and move backwards from the bar a little and hold, eventually you will get to holding the close to impossible move from this position as well :)

Actually, there's just one way to prevent rotational motion given an unbalanced torque: provide another torque that counteracts the torque already present. The two examples you gave were two different ways of doing this: either with a new external object providing some force providing that torque, or the friction between the axle and rotating object providing that torque. Nevertheless, good explanation of everything else!

However, if you run the numbers you'll quickly find out that, in that scenario, your thumbs need to handle 15x your BW. CTI is truly insane.

I didn't even know that this was a real exercise until this video. I thought I was the first one to ever think of it. I asked my friend who is a physics major if it would be possible and he said basically what you said. However, he also said if you did it with a vertical bar it would be possible. I wonder about the friction required to hold your entire body weight at arm's length, though, and I feel like it would be a similar problem. But he probably meant to have a T shape bar like this: _|_ and hold the vertical section with the crossbar preventing your hands from slipping. Do you think that would work? It might be an interesting video idea.

I disagree with ripping the skin from your hands in that maneuver, practice every day, develops good skin and elasticity, that does not separate from the hand, When I was younger from swing on a bar, I developed massive hand and wrist strength, and could easily hold my self almost as shown, but never had the inclination to further do that move, although, i would slowly grab one vertical bar and almost hold my position at 90 degrees, slowly rotating around a vertical 2 inch diameter bar, the rotation going by false memory could have been close to 4or 5 seconds, it was very difficult, and took me a long time to develop that strength, but now at 79, things disappear, Slowly develop your ability, and things stay together, The only time I would have skin separation, is when i would not practice, and my hands became soft, I was also very light with small bones, that may have contributed to this ability, Those fellows shown at the end of the video, did not have enough wrist strength, although they would definitely have the rest of their body fairly strong. Their bodies were over developed in such a way that it was impossible to do that maneuver. I often wonder why at my weight around 150 when someone who was twice my weight and very strong could never put me down in an arm wrestling match. that is probably why.

@matriaxpunk

Well, I imagine that there should be data out there about the force neaded to actually rip the skin off from a human hand. That's the real limiting factor, because wrist strength could theoretically be increased enough to hold the position. Even then, the strength and durability of the body tissues can also be theoretically increased via progressive overload. If a normal person had to do a one arm-one finger pullup, her finger would probably actually be ripped off her hand, is not just a matter of muscular strength; and yet some climbers can perform that movement no problem. So maybe the durability of the skin could also be trained and increased to the point where this movement can be performed. I just don't see anybody genetically gifted enough putting the time an effort necessary to get such a specific skill.
