Swedish firefighter Johannes Erlands scaled a lamppost in the town of Karlskrona to perform a muscle-up several metres above the street, before climbing safely back to the ground.

The muscle-up, a pull-up where you also lift your body above the bar, is a gold standard bodyweight move — if you can pull off even one, you have successfully achieved the rank of bad-arse.

Erlands, 26, first posted the video to Instagram in June 2017, suggesting at the time the stunt was his farewell to Karlskrona.
