*The explanation is not constipation.
This is why the English use the ironic idiom when somebody really isn't trying:
"Don't strain yourself!"
If you look carefully you will see that
he is straining:
He has strained to start the perfect dive, he is still straining in the air , etc.
What is he straining? what has he been straining?
He's been straining all his muscles, his ligaments,.............
in a word :
himself
SO
He is strained!
