I Tested 100 Ronaldo Life Hacks

this is the low cut boot hack and it's just one of every Ronaldo conspiracy theory I'm going to be testing over the next 24 hours so let's do this over the years Ronaldo has come up with strange football boot hacks training hacks and conspiracy theories that he claims give him that 1% advantage today I'm going to be testing every single one to see how beneficial they really are starting with ankle weighted training this was made viral by Rio Ferdinand when he explained how Ronaldo used to train with ankle weights strapped to his feet as he claimed it improved the speed of his step overs and mimics late game scenarios when his legs would get tired so these ones are 5 kg which is apparently the weight that Ronaldo used Let's test them out oh it's so weird feels like I'm walking in slow motion right time some [Music] dribbling it feels like I'm walking on the moon right let's go for some stepovers going to fall over so weird and put so much force into these [Music] right so I had these on for around 10 minutes and as soon as I've taken them off my legs feel rapid already so I can't imagine how I feel after training with these for years and it clearly worked because Ronaldo's feet and stepovers became arguably the fastest in the world I wouldn't want to defend against him put it that way so this Theory holds weight quite literally I definitely recommend this Training Method so I'm going to give it a 10 out of 10 rating straight off the bat on to the next one so this next one is something that Ronaldo used to do that was claimed as dangerous by foot experts he used to wear boots made to order one to two sizes too small for him so we could get a better touch and feel for the ball so I brought along some boots I used to wear when I was younger so let's see how they feel that's if I can get them on how's he doing this every day he's a true size N9 and wor 7.5 which is exactly what I am and exactly what I'll be wearing there we go So eventually I managed to get the boots on and they obviously felt uncomfortable for 5 minutes let alone doing this for a 90minut match Ronaldo claimed that doing this made the boots more responsive and his feet were more locked in so they weren't moving inside the boots on paper I can understand the concept but I couldn't really feel much difference in my touch and control so fo experts did warn Ronaldo that having his boots too tight could cause long-term injury but I suppose looking back that's not true but overall I don't think I'd recommend this just because of how uncomfortable it is so I'm going to give this one a two out of 10 so this leads us nicely onto our next hack because if you tried the previous method and it gave you blisters Ronaldo would recommend putting Vaseline on your Achilles heel so Ronaldo does this before he plays football to ensure he receives no blisters from his boots rubbing onto his heel so I brought along some boots that I don't usually wear cuz they're so tight on my feet and on my heel they usually always end up giving me blisters so let's see what happens so I played in these boots for around 10 minutes which is when i' start to feel the blisters on my feet and after 10 minutes I saw no signs of rubbing so I don't think this one's necessary because you should just get boots that you're comfortable in and don't cause any rubbing but in this scenario it does help so I'm going to give it an 8 out of 10 now up next you might have seen this one go viral on the Internet it's perhaps the most famous football life hack put in hot water on your football boots so I've Got a Brand New Pair of FO boots and one of which yesterday I put in hot water and the other one I didn't and I'm going to see if I can tell the difference blindly okay let's see if we can guess these correct they don't feel any different okay both boots are on Ronaldo does this as a way to break his new football boots in and to make the uppers less stiff and more comfortable these days they've made a lot of the night boots softer but some such as these New Balance boots we can try this with right so I can't really tell any difference but I just feel like the left boot is like half a perc lighter so I'm going to go with that one is that your final L I'm going to lock that one in wrong maybe they felt lighter cuz there was no water weighing them down but no real difference really to be honest they do make most boots softer nowadays as well so I wouldn't recommend trying it but there's no harm in it but I'm giving this one a three out of 10 now what next something Ronaldo lives by is no black boots he claims that having a modern flashy colorway instead makes him feel faster to be fair I do agree with this in my videos you'll always usually see me in white or bright colored boots I just feel stiff in black boots I don't know what it is although I thought this was just psychological and personal preference after doing some research colored boots are actually scientifically proven to make you run faster by smaller percentages so I'm giving this one an 8 out of 10 now this leads us nicely onto our next conspiracy theory by Ronaldo because not only do his boots have to be a certain color so do his socks Ronaldo's socks at the bottom of his leg always have to be white as he claims these make him feel more agile too I do agree with this because black socks at the bottom of my feet would probably feel weird so I'm giving this hack another eight out of 10 so that's how I put on my socks but Ronaldo does it in his own specific way which is our next football life hack cutting his socks so Ronaldo starts with his training socks over his shin pad so that's step one now next we're going to cut the bottom of the plan sock so let's see how this goes right there's one and two so next we're going to bring the play and sock over both of these and then finally we tape it all together with some sock tape and that's really going to hold them in place there and there we have it this is to ensure his shim pads and socks are really locked in and he doesn't have to mess around adjusting them during a game it takes a bit longer to do than how you normally put your socks on but I definitely see why he does this to concentrate on the game fully so I'd give this hack a 9 out of 10 right I'm going to take is off now I must have done this wrong it's on my skin a little bit so it's like waxing me trying to get them off now not only does he cut his socks Ronaldo actually used to cut his boots as well here's why Ronaldo wasn't a fan of the high collared boots when they were first introduced as he said his legs felt a bit restricted by the collar so he used to cut the collar off his boots to give him more freedom right that didn't feel very nice to do to a pair foot Bo as you can probably tell these are fake I couldn't be doing that to a real pair nowadays you can often get a low cut version already made but back in the day raldo did this a lot so I wouldn't recommend doing this now but I understand the reasoning so I'm going to give this one a 6 out of 10 up next Ronaldo will always place a ball down in a specific way from a free kick so he can connect with the valve as he claims it generates more knuckle ball I actually used this technique in one of my recent videos when trying to recreate his knuckle ball free kick so I know it's true but after testing it more today from different angles this really confirmed it to me yeah the proof in the pudd in with this one so another 10 out of 10 for this hat give it a go at home so the next life ha the Ronaldo does is that he always warms up with a massage gun and he says that these things can be more effective than stretching he's actually an ambassador for Thea gun which is the exact one I'm going to be testing today so I did Ronaldo's 10-minute regime covering the areas that he covers even using the different attachments too to cover different muscle areas and my muscles felt really warmed up as if I was ready to do some intense training well I'm really ready to go score some screamers so I suppose this works so a solid 9 out of 10 for this one but massage guns can be expensive and you'd be fine with just stretching so the next life hack Ronaldo does is another one to do with his football boots Ronaldo likes to use soft ground studs on firm ground surfaces now he does actually use custom studs which I've managed to get my hands on they're called smart power studs and he likes to use the specific rugby studs so let's get them [Music] on right they're all pretty pretty much in now so it's time to test them out these are so tight to get on as well cuz these are the only boots I could find from ages ago that have metal studs I could change all of the new pairs nowadays come with the molded studs because they wet the surfaces before games on Match dayss the ground becomes softer so Ronaldo wears these studs on Match days and also in training so we can get used to the boots before the match right so I'm inan the surfaces I'm testing them on here don't get softer from sprinklers like the surfaces Ronaldo plays on so I'm not going to try this for too long and I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you play on Astro as well but if you're a professional who plays on pitches that are sprinkle it might be for you but overall I'm saying a five out of 10 rating now Ronaldo also has a lot of superstitions around his football that aren't performance rated but some conspiracies he does before and during the game the first one is something you may have noticed he always tapes his right wrist and fun fact he actually raised money with one of these for $65,000 to help an ill Serbian baby up next is one pregame he always sits alone on the back row of the team bus when traveling to games and he's always last to leave the team bus and when he's arrived to the gameing in the ch room he always touches a ball just before he's about to leave and go into the tunnel he then always steps onto the pitch with his right foot first if he was to do this with his left foot it would be in his head all game at half time he then comes into the change room and has to change his hairstyle whatever works for him I guess when scoring he always waves to his family first and finally this one specific for when he plays for Portugal he always wears a long sleeve jersey when playing for them no un sure if this one's a Superstition a fashion statement or due to him feeling more comfortable but when you think of Ronaldo's brand you do think of him in long sleeves so that is everyy Ronaldo football conspiracy theory and life hack tested let me know if you're going to try any of these hope you found this one interesting and I'll see you next time
