Next week I'm dropping a video titled Win $10 for Every BAR MUSCLE UP You Can Do! I've met some freaky athletes before in these challenges, but this video will truly blow your mind. Take your best guess, how many unbroken bar muscle-ups do you think someone was able to do?

I was so mad about that hill sprint 😂 thanks for the respectable plug during the dead hang! Had lots of fun with this and thanks for having me 🙏

I really like how you have no ego and are willing to take on these challenges. So much fun to watch.

One thing I love about fitness is that even when you’re competing against each other it’s still fun and motivating to cheer each other on like you guys did during double unders

[cosorioandino]

As a swimmer... Im actually impressed with your swimming skills... and also that good time for a non swimmer.. good job

[ccbgaming]

For a former Olympic runner, you have exceptional swim technique! For the sprint (and any other freestyle swims), try to envision yourself inside a tube going straight down the pool, and follow that path with your shoulder rotation and your hips. Your catch looks great, just remember any swivel your arms make is wasting potential in the catch and tighten your core on the flip turn with a streamline that shows almost no space between your shoulders and head. And use those legs to your advantage: “Legs feeds the wolf!”

I like how encouraging he is, honest with himself, not afraid to take an "l" but mostly it's all just for fitness for him legit

The way he mastered the double unders. Terrible at the beginning but put in the work and look now. Respect 🙏🏾 💢💯

I love this, you really have great sportmanship and you really respected his capabilities on certain things. Keep up the great content Nick ❤

I never used to grasp the movement of squats until I heard Martin's licis tell action Bronson to engage his hips and then demonstrated it. Exactly how Austen went into it. Well done guys. Great vid.

[cristinagray]

You brought in a swimming challenge!! Loved the camaraderie between you guys!

[jesus-luvs]

Yes, I love the horse videos! The one with the instagram model was amazing too! Excited to see what this one brings!

My parents own a crossfit gym and I've been doing crossfit for about 3 years. I have found that the best jump rope for double unders is by far rpm ropes. They cost a pretty penny but they are very worth it and very light. I highly suggest them.

That dude, the “not Nick” made little side comments (excuses) on every loss, you know he was not happy about losing lmao 🤣

[g-hartgaming]

Nick is so inspiring the dude seriously puts his best effort into everything he does grinds it out and stays consistent

[ShortLivedFreedom]

Super inspiring and fun! I know it may be a long shot, but it'd be cool to see you do something with Magnus Midtbo. I think both of you would like a good fitness challenge!

[NineDiamont]

I was expecting Nick to beat him at the sprint, but that guy is just as fast as him while weighing quite a bit more.
But he beat Nick at the shuttle run, that was a suprise. That guy has explosive strength and we saw that when he pushed the tank, that's why he won at the shuttle run.

Good job Nick! It looked for sure like Austin was going to win until the pool. Great video!

Unrelated to this video, kind of, but what I love about you and your channel is that you say your pr when you don't make it on the video. Idk if that makes sense, but by doing that, you show that personal best comes and goes. It's a damn journey to get to your best, and you don't ignore that. Thank you for showing us that passion can get you past your personal best by continuing to try. You are unique in such a special way

I’m sad you’re not competing on ninja warrior 😭😭😭. Will you make some ninja warrior YouTube videos? That would be really cool! Love the content!
