Life is bloody cruel.

You spend hours at the gym.

You survive on a diet of chicken breast, brown rice and vegetables.

You risk slipping spectacularly and knocking out a whole mouthful of teeth on film.

All to be showed up by a grandpa.

That's the reality for poor Travis Horn, who has pulled off a sick trick and is getting no credit for it.

He was getting into an insane bloody workout at the 24 Hour Fitness gym in Las Vegas, US.

And yes, doing handstand push ups while balancing on a nine-dumbbell-high tower is cool and all, but then SO IS THAT GRANDPA SHOOTIN' HOOPS IN THE BACKGROUND.

Despite the high degree of difficulty for Horn's stunt, it seems the entirety of the internet are saying the same thing.

The clip, posted on Horn's Instagram account, has notched up more than 61,800 views and that may have something to do with Jasmine Watkins' tweet:

Yep, as you can see there this tweet blew up big time in just 24 hours, as people nodded in agreement.

And to be fair, pops in the background just doesn't miss.

He is a certified king of the court.

It seems like old mate Horn just can't catch a break.

Because he's another video of him doing something absolutely obscene and the star of the clip is the dude in the yellow jumper:

Ah well, at least he has his twitching muscles and powerful beard to keep him warm.
