Bodybuilder vs Ultra Endurance - Peaks Challenge 2024 Falls Creek

[@anabolicgabe]

A week of editing went into this one really trying to enhance the quality, I hope you enjoyed it even if cycling isn't your thing :)

[@Cloudyyyy88]

The editing is super on point. It’s definitely noticeable. And rlly impressive. My personal opinion would be don’t over do it. As sometimes it’s easy to edit edit edit and it’s a bit too fast paced. But this video was super good. Well done

[@oldmanbanksia]

I'm 73kgs and suffered and finished well outside 10 hours. Sure I'm much older than you and have a lifetime of cycling in my legs, but your achievemnet simply defies belief. You're no lightweight and you would think that such muscle bulk would be an impediment - but you have proven otherwise. You must have an incredible cardio output and aerobic capacity. I am simply in awe.

[@anabolicgabe]

thank you man that means a lot!

[@DavidStacey-tx7on]

He is using powerful peds, that strength in hips and legs will make up for cardio

[@craigm5713]

Ive raced against body builders before. One was 100+ kg. Did about 4hrs a week training. Climbed pretty well. Placed high. I wonder why. Did a back of the envelope FFMI (fat free mass index) calc. Put it this way. They can do what they want but i am not that demoralised or as impressed as i initially was. Leave it at that

[@sol-ur9dx]

Really enjoy the endurance content where you are out of ur comfort zone and there's so much more you can do like a marathon, duathlon or triathlon. Great vid Gab.

[@anabolicgabe]

thank you mate!

[@ModerateCyclist]

Haha this is awesome. You are "The Sprinter" I am talking about in my latest video. We had a chat on Hotham. Great result mate.

[@anabolicgabe]

Thank you mate, I watched your vlog on it. Keep up the videos you have great story telling and editing!

[@RhysBF]

Very impressive especially given the early cramps! It was a really tough day. Shows how important mentality is in events like this :)

[@brendonhall9517]

Love the cycling content mate. You’re an inspiration.

[@anabolicgabe]

I appreciate that!

[@_LeeTurner]

Good video, well done on completing the beast and in sub 10. Great job. Bang. Bang!

[@anabolicgabe]

Thanks Lee, see you out there on another ride some day!

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

great video, awesome job doing it sub 10! (and even just finishing it is amazing!

[@anabolicgabe]

thanks heaps!

[@JFomo]

A power lifter with cardio? Insane. You smashed it.

[@DavidStacey-tx7on]

Test and steriods are powerful drugs

[@anabolicgabe]

thanks bro

[@JFomo]

@@anabolicgabe how did yountake that salt? Did you just poured a bunch of it into your mouth? A lot or a little at a time?

[@anja0404]

Well done on Peaks. My feedback would be, please for your safety, always keep your helmet done up 🙏 Is it a comfort thing to undo it on the up hills?

[@anabolicgabe]

yes I know was not the most responsible thing and not a good luck but was just for the uphills

[@donatomonello2540]

Actually a great video, better than going to a festival. Well done.

[@anabolicgabe]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Fyffyz]

Awesome work especially in the heat, I’m keen to do this one year. Love the content ✅

[@anabolicgabe]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@nickbowd]

7:36 what’s with the helmet not done up. That’s not hip or cool.

[@zacbuikhuisen460]

well done gabe, that's super bloody impressive mate.

[@anabolicgabe]

Thanks a ton!

[@scottcharlton129]

Congratulations. Quite an achievement

[@stevenward320]

Awesome job and keep up the cycling videos

[@anabolicgabe]

Thanks, will do!

[@Coopersmiith]

shot gab, the euphoria after finishing the race is something else

[@anabolicgabe]

unmatched bro!!

[@nickbowd]

Congrats on the sub 10!

[@anabolicgabe]

thanks man

[@jfreck]

looked strong lad, good youtube recommendation. well done

[@anabolicgabe]

thank you bro

[@truth-Hurts375]

Yes yes fack yes.....And how much juice is still in his system ????

[@anabolicgabe]

bro probably never pushed his body to what it's capable of 😂

[@nickbowd]

3:49 Hmm. New tubes a bit risky. New shoes be for a 10 hour epic mountain ride. Maybe not the greatest idea.

[@timwolf2215]

Quite an interesting video mate well done and well done on commuting to the goal, particularly away from the regular fitness culture that most are used to. Aerobic fitness is completely different and I think it’s always good for others to be exposed to it. Nutrition for cycling is a interesting rabbit hole. For anyone out there looking to table salt for electrolytes when you have an option, it’s not good for you, natural sea salt is what you need, just for reference. Great vid brother

[@anabolicgabe]

thanks man!

[@maxdrummond720]

Serious Cardio Motivation

[@anabolicgabe]

that's it man!

[@nickbowd]

14:53 no. The jersey isn’t loose around the belly cos they’re fat. It’s cos they would wear a smaller size as they don’t have arms or a chest! Lol😂

[@J_MARAu]

You’re incredibly shape Gabe nice work

[@anabolicgabe]

You think so?

[@andrewmurgatroyd9214]

Really only 3 weeks prep?

[@anabolicgabe]

yep, I suppose i'm always training for something though whether it's weight lifting or cycling

[@markreardon6663]

Gotta admit l am impressed.

[@larryjones676]

Well done

thank you!

elite video brother

[@anabolicgabe]

thank you bro

[@Cadelhowie]

Melbourne to Warrnambool race next year?

[@anabolicgabe]

could be a good idea. what's the numbers of the ride?

[@roberthowat6323]

Fair play to you for completing your ride and coming from a bodybuilding background . As for the comment of beer belly for cyclists 😂 we'll they don't have them, well I don't being a cyclist myself and only 67kg . And jerseys I wear are race fit so close fit to body and not baggy. It's probably because you have bodybuilder body. But well done for completing the ride 🎉

[@anabolicgabe]

haha thank you man!

[@2_pelicans]

So back again and friends with prime, so last time was all for drama!?

[@chrisaltec2992]

That's ridiculous with your build and lack of training. Natural athlete for sure. Also nailed the nutrition side of things which a lot of experienced cyclists still get wrong.

[@anabolicgabe]

Thanks bro means a lot 🙌

[@nazzarenocantalamessa]

mmmm some help? It’s hard doing that with your short preparation… not sure this is legit

[@husla8614]

I literally coach Gabe, he is always doing the 1%ers, hes always doing some sort of cardio 2+ times week(this is why he was able to capitalise on short notice as he’s already always fit) and he’s got drive to push hard like not many others in this world… he is a truly driven individual. I would never take a client on who claims natty and is not. No offence Gabe but; he also would have no idea where to start if he was to use “help” I can guarantee you that Gabe is 100% natural…. Maybe a couple upper deckies though 😜

[@nazzarenocantalamessa]

I am free to not believing in what you are saying. Cylcing is hard, it takes time and discipline, without help you cannot do this in such short time. @@husla8614

[@damien5887]

all depends on what his training is like prior to starting riding. James Newbury (crossfitter) did an ironman in WA 4 years ago off limited prep and nearly broke 10hrs. He averaged 36km/h for the 180km. clip below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZDWf3poa5t4g6M

[@anabolicgabe]

haters gonna hate, if you think something like this required PEDs your standards of what the human body is capable of are incredibly low

[@nazzarenocantalamessa]

I am not a hater in any way; rather, I have been an avid cyclist for over two decades, honing my skills and knowledge through years of dedicated practice. My assertion stands firm at 100%, rooted in my extensive experience in cycling. Moreover, I possess a profound understanding of human anatomy and physiology, further bolstering the validity of my statements. I would recommend the deletion of the video to avoid creating false expectations. @@anabolicgabe

[@R_Polly]

Complaining causes cramps

[@brianlee5402]

bro I wish I could afford those shoes, cuz those shoes are peak 👌

[@anabolicgabe]

they're very expensive haha

[@par5997]

Great effort . As you say most cyclists 30k lighter and in this event many don’t finish.

[@ninetofivefitness5935]

leave a like lads x

[@anabolicgabe]

ok bro

[@out_spocken]

Shouldn't be cramping at all! Jesus, the amount of product you are using. Consumerism's wet dream lol Pack some pita breads with peanut butter and bananas, stick a few muesli bars in and get it done lol

[@anabolicgabe]

don't think you understand the difference in hydration for endurance when you weigh 90kg and sweat considerably more than a 60kg athlete

good challenge?
