Wilson<\/strong>. This college student went viral in 2015 by showing off some of his ridiculous feats of athleticism \u2014 which include unbelievable jumps, creative weightlifting and plenty of other eye-popping moves. Since then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/devonte.m.wilson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he\u2019s developed a large following on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When he started to go viral, he was mistakenly identified as a running back for <strong>Kansas University<\/strong>, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/sports\/spt-columns-blogs\/campus-corner\/article32757498.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it turns out he wasn\u2019t on the team<\/a>. In high school, he actually excelled in wrestling rather than football. That misidentification added some mystery to the man behind these insane workout videos. Here are 10 of his most incredible moves.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong>The Box Jump<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/6p98gSzFJK\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/6p98gSzFJK\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The box jump is a classic workout that doesn\u2019t seem particularly exciting. That\u2019s not the case when Devonte Wilson sets a personal record by jumping 74 inches.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Lifting the Spotter<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BJ4A26qhM-e\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BJ4A26qhM-e\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wilson lifts some added weight on the benchpress machine. His cousin doesn\u2019t seem to mind.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong>The Dumbbell Routine<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BHnnGFAhdTN\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BHnnGFAhdTN\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dumbbells are a great addition to any workout plan. Wilson takes it even further by doing backflips and other crazy moves while carrying a pair.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong><em>Extreme<\/em> Bosu Ball<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BJ9KS39hsGJ\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BJ9KS39hsGJ\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bosu balls are the devil, as they require so much effort to stay balanced on one while working out. Wilson kicks it up a notch by adding a pistol squat while holding an Olympic bar. He makes it look easy.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong>&#8220;Creative&#8221; Kettlebells<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BGXdGhOzFOx\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BGXdGhOzFOx\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kettlebells aren\u2019t just for lifting, apparently. For this leg day workout, Smith balances on a kettlebell while squatting a plate. Don\u2019t try this one on your own.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Water Run<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BLhi_LwBgBx\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BLhi_LwBgBx\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you ever tried running in a pool, you know it is incredibly exhausting. That, however, doesn\u2019t seem to slow Wilson down. Here he\u2019s using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hydroworx.com\/blog\/mercy-fort-scott-devonte-wilson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">specialized underwater treadmill<\/a> for his workout.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Next level training.

It\u2019s crazy to even consider. It\u2019s even crazier to see it done. On this Instagram post, Wilson writes: \u201cIf you don&#8217;t step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself with something new, you will remain the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Dab Pushups<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BA27KfUTFBJ\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BA27KfUTFBJ\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Think \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dab_(dance)\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the dab<\/a>\u201d is played out? Wilson makes dabbing fresh again with these massive jumping pushups combined with a dab at the end. The slow motion really shows just how much lift he\u2019s getting with these pushups.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Piggyback Lifting<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/_5e2qMzFOQ\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/_5e2qMzFOQ\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wilson makes weightlifting look easy, even when he\u2019s squatting his cousin in addition to two plates. These piggyback squats are truly something else. How fast do you think you\u2019d get kicked out of a gym if you tried this with your lifting buddy?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Extreme Squats<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/5zoADezFIi\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/5zoADezFIi\/<\/a> Please don\u2019t try this one at home, in the gym or anywhere else on this planet. A back flip is terrifying enough for us mere mortals. Combining that with a spin around an Olympic bar and a four-plate squat is total madness.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Where\u2019s Devonte M. Wilson Now?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Wilson tried out for Kansas University as a freshman but didn\u2019t make the team. Now, he\u2019s playing football <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fsgreyhounds.com\/sports\/fball\/2016-17\/bios\/wilson_devonte_vazh\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for Fort Scott Community College<\/a> and updating his Instagram with new and crazy workouts. Will we see him in the future? Who knows, but we can at least enjoy these videos.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/489057169\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 75.084175% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/489057169?et=FlDAE_aVRNt6Zm_lt8r0bA&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=MaS_g_BDIW0onVHupdeo7n0-Y4_FcEO_O16Eh_NiL88=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"446\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devonte Wilson has become an instagram sensation by posting some of the craziest workout routines ever.
