Heidi Klum Attempts to Lift Heavy Barbell on ‘AGT’ After Outstanding Audition
NBC Reading Time: 2 minutes
Positive Impact Movement is an acrobatic group that had all of the judges up on their feet during their Season 16 AGT audition. The group has a bond like family and the trust they put into each other during the routine is astronomical. They came to AGT to “inspire positivity.” They definitely did inspire Heidi Klum to try out their act on her own.
Heidi Klum Lifts Barbell on ‘AGT’ to Test Positive Impact Movement’s Strength
The members of Positive Impact Movement have suffered many injuries in the past including a broken back, broken neck, and broken knees. Howie Mandel had to keep with the theme of the season which is pointing out that Simon Cowell broke his back last year. Cowell joked that he would be up on the stage with the act if he hadn’t broken his back.
“We’ll recruit you for the next one, you guys are back brothers,” one of the group members replied.
Klum was concerned that she didn’t see any muscles from them. Normally when acrobatic acts come to the stage, they show off a little more skin. Thankfully, Positive Impact Movement ditched their shirts before performing to “Physical” by Dua Lipa. They jumped on each other’s shoulders and lifted huge barbells before doing backflips.
The Judges Loved This Dangerous Routine
Positive Impact Movement got a standing ovation from the judges. Sofia Vergara searched for the right words to describe the shock she felt while watching this routine. She said when their shirts came off “it was another level of fitness.” Whenever the show starts with four sexy shirtless men on stage, we are all left speechless too.
One of the group members also spoke about the necklace he held up during the routine. His mom passed away from melanoma in 2017. He carries her ashes in the necklace. They loved to watch AGT together and she always encouraged him to try out. Finally, his dream came true after COVID brought him closer to his groupmates.
“It was like watching a gymnast act and a danger act together so it was very clever,” Cowell said about the audition.
The judges voted Positive Impact Movement through to the next round of the competition. Klum ran up to the stage to check if the dumbells were actually heavy. The other judges warned her to be careful. She was able to lift one up which came as a total surprise. It might make some viewers doubt how valid the act is, but the four group members are literally so attractive…we don’t even care!
