The ultimate bullshitter - Stewart @SDI in real life?

Post by Joe »

Hi, I'm somewhat retired from this forum now, but this was just too fucking good to not drop in and post.

This guy named Aleksey Vayner applied to an investment banking firm and his resume somehow got leaked. What's really the story is the video that he apparently included with it, which has to be seen to be believed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjRZgmc3RyQ&eurl=

As they say, you can't make this shit up. When he karate chops the bricks and the Hans Zimmer music rolls over the credits your jaw will drop.

The guy, is of course, a total bullshitter; a long list of his offenses can be read here:

Enjoy!

were the bricks already broken? It looked it, that and he didn't almost stumble over himself the way actual breaking champions do from all the momentum they throw into a blow like that.

Doesn´t matter. We don´t know if it´s him anyway because we see him staning there. Then there´s a cut to a closer shot in which we see his hand and the bricks. The blow comes in this shot and then there´s a cut back in which we see him standing in front of the broken bricks. So it probably wasn´t even him who did this.

The bricks were already broken, you can see the line in them before he taps them. And there's no way you could produce such a neat divide, especially not with his palm.

And it looked like him, he had the same bracelet, same shoes, same odd gi.

He claims to serve at 140MPH, near the speed of Greg Rusedski who vertually doubles over when serving at speed. Unlike Aleksey whos last volley is also clearly heading off the side of the court.

Carefully positioned camera for the weights and there is no way of telling how much "assistance" those "spotters" are giving.

They had to be. Real bricks, when smashed by blunt force (like a karate chop) don't shatter this cleanly. (Bog-standard bricks are not precision building material, after all.) Also, take a look at this video. In the multiple brick break, notice that the bricks are set with small spacers between. This is because the brick has to have the space to fail before the strike moves on to the next brick. Otherwise, you're trying to break the entire stack all at once.

Finally, the bricks in the video are much longer than the bog-standard brick, for good reason. The longer span the brick straddles and the thinner the brick, the easier it is to break.

That part where he repeatedly lifted a supposed 140 pounds with EACH hand is complete bullshit. One time, I saw Mark Henry (a 400 lb. professional wrestler and strong man) try to lift a 175 lb. weight with one hand on TV. With quite a bit of effort, Henry was able to do it ONCE. Needless to say, I don't think this bullshitter is anywhere near as strong as Mark Henry is.

EDIT: Fixed Henry's weight.

That video is absurd. Those bricks would've shattered rather than broken clean, and his stance vs. the bricks was terrible. As for his super-bench-press, he is clearly being helped by the three guys holding (and lifting) the barbel.

That being said, he's a fine dancer.

P.S.

What kind of a psychopath beats up piles of bricks? They couldn't possibly be harming him, so it's totally unprovoked. They even willingly cooperate by being stacked on top of each other without complaint - try to get people to do that and it's an international scandal.

The guy's tennis fundamentals are fucking laughable. The guy is just like the novices at tennis clubs who think they're hot shit, his footwork is crap, his swing is mostly from the arm with a fancy "pro-looking" motion which gives no control at all. His volleying is crap, way too much backswing, he's using the dropshot swing to hit floating volleys which'll get drilled right back at his crotch, what a dumbass. It looks cool to uneducated idiots, but anyone with decent tennis knowledge knows he's full of shit.

His weightlifting is terrible, too. He's barely doing half reps (and with heavy assistance, no less) on the dumbbell incline bench press, and he lifts his entire body from his shoulders to his torso off the bench when doing the barbell bench press. Bad form.

Wow. I only finished watching it just before I posted, which was only 15 minutes before you did. You must have just missed it.

However Joe's link shows some of his most bullshit claims including
He claimed to have spent much of his childhood in a Tibetan monestary in post-Soviet Uzbekistan before moving to the United States, where he was employed by both the Mafia and the CIA. He was also a tennis instructor whose students include Harrison Ford and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
And oh yeah: he met the Dalai Lama along the way and is the second greatest martial arts fighter in the world.

Maybe the Bruce Lee estate should threaten legal action as well, since after the first 30 seconds you can't help but be bowled over by the stench of him spewing out the whole "lost" interview where he touts his "be water" beliefs.
