Jacob Heppner trying to get a pump by doing burpees is the most crossfit thing i've ever seen.

[@LeLe-bo7cs]

Screw You Google second in deadlift, impressive af

[@aripmjr]

some people saying crossfitters have no strenght...well yeah maybe not compared to a powerlifter on the same weight, defintely not to a heavy guy like Steve

[@sniff494]

Aristides Junior someone who exclusively trains CrossFit will have no strength, a "CrossFit athlete" like the guy on this show will because none of them exclusively train crossfit, they all practice more conventional forms of training then do CrossFit only a few months from a competition to claim that they do it in the off-season

[@aripmjr]

Sniff you're missing the point. There is strenght training in crossfit, sometimes with the traditionals like bench press, back squats and deadlifts, sometimes in Olympic Lifting. You either have no clue what crossfit is or don't know what you're talking.

[@joeprice5813]

Sniff, follow Heppner on Instagram. He trains crossfit only, daily, yeararound. He's not exceptionally strong for a pro CF athlete. Top of the deadlift ladder at the 2016 games was 615 FWIW.

[@Belicose777]

Yup it's the explosiveness I was talking about a few videos ago that power lifters develop. Where max effort 1 rep max lifts move like people's working sets. They're very much as explosive as Olympic weight lifters. The only difference is the movements differ.

The bodybuilder has a beautiful, classics physique with very aesthetic proportions. I wish all body building competitions would go back to this instead of encouraging competitors to look like bulky deformed monsters, only caring about as much muscle as possible and nothing for symmetry and proportions.

[@javierponce4581]

[@itsryanwilkes]

Guys, for next time, consider adopting a points system like they have for the decathalon in track and field, and give points based on how close they get to the world record in an event (rather than how they place). This way, for someone like Steve, he would get a more fair amount of points for his incredible deadlift. Just a thought!! Loving the show =)

[@ah7027]

The Path Less Traveled I agree the points system would be a nice touch. But making all the athletes the same size would have helped. A heavy weight power lifter versus a light weight weightlifter. Guys got 100 lbs on him probably lol.

[@Derploop]

The Path Less Traveled but if you did that you'd need to implement weight classes and that would really offset his advantage given he's 400 pounds-ish off the WR and the tiny Olympic lifter would probably be about the same amount of weight off, or less

[@itsryanwilkes]

Aaron Harrison and Derploop, ahh yes I agree with both of you guys. Good point. But don't you think that their different skill sets already provide enough variation in performance across the events? In episode 1, the powerlifter didn't do well in any events, despite his amazing strength. But you are right that their would be a disparity between the amount of points that he would get in the deadlift, vs the amount of points that the Olympic lifter would get for winning the clean, because the oly lifter is in one of the lower weight classes of the olympics. So even though he destroyed everyone here, he is not close to the world record of the 120kg+ world record. Complicated stuff haha!

[@gabew3921]

The Path Less Traveled that made me smile. Didn't know anyone still knew what the decathlon was :)

Considering the weightlifter weighs half of the powerlifter( at a BW of 69kg) his relative strength is pretty amazing.

[@griseldelcarpio7954]

The Olympic lifter proved very capable with his 69 kilos of body weight against so much muscle. Just imagine the difference that an Olympic weightlifter would get from the same body weight as the others and also be world class to be close to the records. It is very noticeable difference of the performance that an Olympic athlete reaches against those who are not.

Your eyes get drawn right to him because of this. I don't know anything about bodybuilding, but I've seen a lot of dance auditions ... I'm also not a dancer, but you can easily pick out who knows what they're doing by the look on their face most of the time. Same thing here. I mean, his body is also amazing, that goes without saying - but it wasn't just the size/shape of his body that made him immediately better at the posedown.

3:15 - somebody get this guy some airpods

[@garysmith2017]

Absolutely loving this series - such a pleasure to see these guys compete with no ego and help each other along in each event. Great stuff..

[@DaveO0808]

I love this series. Brotherhood of Steel. I am so moved. Thank you.

[@thefixerforkids]

They should do bench press and squats

[@ConnorMays2004]

Deadlift, squat, and powerclean. Only lifts that matter

[@chris71388]

Mays_53 Gaming bicep curl, wiener tugs, toe lunges, in that order.

[@Bavarian_Lifting]

The powerlifter would have demolished them there aswell

[@CalistFitness]

2:02 moment when you know Powerlifter is gonna win this one,its like a pillow for him xdd

[@yessiryousir]

I love how these dude's egos are quite humble, cool series.

[@Nikolai1]

Something more down-to-earth in these videos. Nothing's taken too seriously among these bro's. Well done.

[@azariahprice4788]

Jacob Heppner doing burpees to get pumped! 😂😂😂

[@usmanfarooq96]

not surprising that the heaviest guy lifted the most weight and the lightest guy lifted the least. great series, maybe next time could have everyone at a similar weight?

[@KniceKnafs]

Screw You Google i agree. Mass is always a factor.

[@aripmjr]

this isn't a serious competition, and btw Luis can clean 190kg, his deadlift PR is probably way above even 220kg.

[@alexmagee5743]

Idk man did you see the lightest guy clean 355 in the last episode. It looked super easy.

[@usmanfarooq96]

granted specificity plays a huge part and 'just' being heavy wont make you strong however the deadlift is a lot less technical than the clean, compare luis to an oly lifter that weighs as much as steve does

[@niccocaputo2210]

Luis clearly hurt his finger, not being able Deadlift anymore. And the whole weight thing isn’t really the point of this series

[@BlackPanther-cb7je]

These guys are the perfect ones for their respective categories....... its like having the best, peak human from each category!!!!

[@ajsinspiredlife665]

Impressive deadlifts! And love the laughter and time together! All amazing athletes!
