Having gone to military school, and playing my fair share of tug of war, I can assure you that the steps forward approach works if there’s no way the other team is expecting it.

[RonMar]

But, you didn't employ the counter tactic: step forward 3 steps so that the other team loses their balance (and grip) and possibly falls down. Then, start the rhythmic pulling.

[rugrday]

I keep imagining that all kids tug-of-war games will now have parents both sideline yelling "Lean back!"
"No, all of you! Lean back!"
"Now hold! Hold!"

[Mario-SunshineGalaxy]

Wasn’t there also something about having the strongest person in the back?

[ickess]

My thoughts while watching that episode of SG was that the elevator must have been going so slow to be able to tell the whole story and instruct everyone in what to do.

This video didn't reall showcase the tactics used in squid games. Like one commenter said, all of the physically strong should have been on one side using brute force only and more physically weaker players on the other side using the tactics.

[joeyjoe]

They didn't even lean back all the way. What tactics did they use?

[Terrezio]

Izzy: I’m broke because of student loans.
Me: Relatable.

[mangoboy]

this is sooo well made, if you would have gotten the vid out earlier you could have hopped into the hype train.

[techronmattic]

Yes there is a basic strategy for tug o war that works that I tested years ago, the basic idea is the Stored energy in your muscles "ATP" will last for approximately 10 seconds, the way you take advantage of it is simple math, you lean back for around 6 or 7 seconds letting the other team waste energy then your team puts 100% for five seconds, then rest with weight back on the rope for around 3 seconds then give your all for another 3 or 4 seconds, the idea is to trick your opponents into using up all their energy

[pencil]

also what about the 3 steps forward???

[LC__]

Would’ve been interesting if you got an actual pro Tug of War team/experts to confirm if those tactics work irl competitions as well. Also didn’t feel there was a good anchor for either team. Nice video nonetheless.

the fine bros called, they want their cast members back

[starrrssssss]

had to admit that trick was really awesome

[ukitsugaming]

How fun! Loved the show, loved this video! Izzy's reason for being there "I'm in debt because of student loans"... i feel that

[unicuskalaa]

Since last month, all I can see around on YouTube is something related to squid game

This is the power of this brilliant series🤯

[Jdg]

Missed these guys together! LOVED watching them on React before it all went downhill…

[marissan]

OK, now I want to play tug-of-war again! Super fun video!

[sharazisspecial]

Why didn't you put the men on one side? The technique was meant to compensate for the lack of pull strength of women and old men.

[neverkilledaman]

Love this show, can't wait to see more!
