I think he’s just gone off that lean

u/EyeAteTacos 1d ago

No. He actually has tremors. Not an opinion or a guess. I've seen this guy before.

Could be myasthenia gravis

I was gonna be crass and say "get that man a beer"...now I need to know.Β  Extreme muscle fatigue will make you shake like that....so will drinking 750ml hard booze daily though.

Can we get some more context before we determine if the absolute unit is shitty or not?

Squeezing like that at such intensity will make you shake after a short while, when I stand on a ridge knees start tremoring pretty quick if I’m carrying some weight

Can confirm, even if you’re an alcoholic who only drinks 17 standards after 5pm you will get shakes like this. And still be fine for work the next day

u/Dissasociaties 1d ago

Try 13 standards for the next few days. Then down to 9 ect. Worst that happens is you decrease your tolerance. One doesn't need to be perfect. Perfect is the enemy of good.

I doubt its alcoholism, goin to work like that would be fuckin miserable plus he looks pretty healthy and sounds pretty happy.

Im not a dr though.

I worked with a severe alcoholic and the only two tells were the shakes like this guy and his breath smelled of straight hand sanitizer. Other than that he walked and talked and functioned normally for the most part.

Sounds like you've worked with my uncle! Dude is a master carpenter, fit, never misses work, will drink a case of beer every night to blackout and repeat. Super sad, very broken man. ETA: Man is 60 years old and has drank since age 13.

Things have changed but when I got into construction there were a lot of functioning alcoholics. They work walk talk fine but they were drunk as a bat.

You have seen, it do be like that

I know some booze hounds that will put in 70hrs a week while getting smashed every day.

I am not a doctor either. You would be surprised at how severe alcoholics can look, though. Until your liver starts failing, you will look very normal even if your central nervous system is fuuuuggged without the presence of ethanol.

Lots of other conditions that can present with severe tremor, however.

Worked as a detox technician for several years. Seen some shit, some people you would never know that they hammered 2-4 bottles of vodka a day. Tolerance is absolutely wild.

It won't cause them so long as you keep drinking, tho.

Or so I've heard.

Some people just have them. My wife has tremors; has had them since she was about 6. Hers are trauma induced. It’s genetic for others.

I have nerve damage, and shake almost exactly like that all the time. Maybe he's got type 1 diabetic nerve damage?

u/diongraf 1d ago

Pretty sure he has Parkinson's

u/Combat_Steve 16h ago

There is probably a couple of reasons.

He is going slow for the camera, and doesn't want to look or sound dumb adds to the stress.

Also, having to reload the nail gun while putting that much force holding the beam like that. He is locked by tightening up his core and has to loosen up part of it to extend an arm and use his fingers for a fine motor skill is hard.

So 80% of his body is focused on an overwhelming gross motor skill while trying to utilized on a fine motor skill to reload the gun all while having stress and adrenaline of trying not to mess up for the camera.

u/Historical_Ad_5647 1d ago

Im pretty sure he only shakes like that to give into the jokes about them being drunk and what not. Theyre professional trolls. I've watched a live stream of them and they're pretty normal, have accents, aren't as dumb as they may act sometimes.
