If you think displays of unimaginable strength are limited to strongman competitions, think again. Austrian contortionist Stefanie Millinger will challenge your ideas of true strength with her jaw-dropping stunts.

The 27-year-old's stunts of unparalleled balance and strength have caught the attention of 406,000 Instagram followers, including one particularly famous fan. Joe Rogan recently singled out the contortionist as one of his favorite people to follow on Instagram for her shocking videos.

On July 2, Rogan posted on Instagram, “One of my favorite people I follow in sheer awe is @stefaniemillinger. Her amazing displays of strength and balance highlight what is possible with the human body given an insane level of dedication and courage. Once every couple days, I’ll view her videos of her doing handstands on the edge of cliffs with sweaty hands. Check her out, she’s nothing short of incredible!”

Just wait until you see the daredevil acrobat in action:

Millinger was a golden buzzer finalist on Germany’s Got Talent, and she’s also a world record holder. Though it's an unofficial record, the acrobat recently completed 342 non-stop L-seat straddle presses to perfect handstands — in just 52 minutes.

The contortionist can even hold up her entire body weight with just her mouth, once again proving her immense skill.

Millinger knows her stuff, and isn’t hesitant to boast her accolades and stunning strength. In a recent Instagram post of a particularly tricky stunt, she captioned the video, “The rare moment when you are impressed by yourself. Imagination is boundless.”

Just call her Gumby.
