[@courtneyhernandez3178]

@@jacksonfev man you're just being hella cynical at this comment. Being nice and friendly aren't the only strengths in life. Every culture has an equal number of strengths and weaknesses. I think being gracious and humble in certain situations or looking on the bright side of things more often might be a norm in some cultures while being more guarded and competitive is a norm in other cultures. One is great because it is very warm and fuzzy, but can turn reckless or dangerous in some situations. The other is great because it keeps up healthy boundaries, protecting you and yours, but it can make you depressed or hard to get close to in some situations. I am a gringa who married into a Honduran family and the cultures are different but balance each other well. My husband is always reminding me that our life is beautiful, that even our enemies are still people, and that life is to be enjoyed. He has an amazing light that shines from his soul and I view my life with more gratitude than I did before we met. I am always reminding him to not trust people immediately and that life can be enjoyed in moderation so we protect our health and our finances. I have kept us safe and helped him navigate the US's often dystopian economy and legal system. We can acknowledge cultural differences and praise cultural characteristics without implying that other cultures are overall inferior.

Hell yea. I also think he should of come second in the bodybuilding competition, but eh. Awesome arms, shoulders, chest, lats. That alone should have been enough to place higher than 4th. Plus the posing was better than 4th, can't disregard that entirely.

[@JesseTrammell]

He didn't have the showmanship with his poses. He went right to the flex whereas everyone else was going through the pose. That is probably why he placed last. Upper body physique was definitely solid though.

How is that powerlifter have a 37 inch vertical. Holy shit just how strong is he

[@johnkaschak1904]

krayner33 when your legs can pull 900lbs from the ground they shouldn’t have a hard time throwing 275 off of it a few feet. I used to flutter around 600 deadlifting and was about 250 with a 35 inch vertical so it makes sense to me that a guy who was 30 pounds more but lifted 300lbs more could jump nearly 3 inches higher.

[@Braddaddyx]

it was measured wrong, the hight of the bodybuilder and the powerlifter where an advantage, usually you should just measure the distance you jump. Olympic lifters have one of the best vertical jumps thanks to their exeplosive leg/calve work.

[@ronnyrtg]

@@Braddaddyx they modified the height of the stand after measuring their maximum reach. It wasn't shown much in this episode but you can see how they do it in the womens' version

[@ZenKrio]

Exactly, when you can Squat like 800lbs, you can likely jump crazy high. I was impressed by the sprint, but it also makes sense, he's like the Juggernaut, at that size, once you get momentum, nothing could stand in your way. I actually expected the Bodybuilder to win that, but he doesn't look like he knows how to run effectively for his size. My favorite part of the whole thing was when the Olympic Lifter said that if the Bodybuilder knew the clean technique, he'd have won that event.

[@AussieAussieOZoioioi]

Steve DEFINITELY surprised me, really strong, fast, jumps high... Don't steal his girls purse, he'll catch you and you'll end up like that Oberyn Martell’s on Game of Thrones. Edit: Thanks for the series, it was so good I subscribed. Props to all the athletes being so humble and great to watch.

[@SugaryPhoenixxx]

Steve may have come in last place but I was also very impressed with his agility, for being such a large man. On the football agility drill I was amazed at his grace for so much mass. Same goes for the sprint, & the deadlift. Keep your chin up Steve, you impressed us all!

[@joshlynch5676]

I agree 100%, they are great at their respective competition/sport. I just said they aren't good at traditional sports as we know, outside of Luis being pretty decent with eye-foot coordination. The art of throwing a ball efficiently shows great kinetic timing, as well as kicking one. Catching a ball shows that you have hand-eye coordination. They are good at what they do specifically, but a huge part of athleticism has to do with being able to put together a good kinetic chain outside of a power clean. It has a lot to do with being able to do tasks outside of that. Not bashing anyone, I think they are all tremendously great athletes, but they are not athletic in the sense that they are coordinated.

What they really should do is pit world champions or State, national or even regional champions against each other. There will always be differences due to a sport's popularity and so many other variables but then at least you have more reference perhaps. Ah there is no perfect way to do this but if they can get some cool challenges and people this can be a very enjoyable series. Maybe we'll find some of the most rounded athletes this way.

The videographers and the editing really improved by season 2 (womens brute challenge) so good job on taking the criticism and coming out better. Loved both competitions!

[@rufus310]

Enjoyed this series a lot, props to all the competitors!

[@handsomesquidward8686]

Ye should do this with a basketball,football,baseball and soccer player

[@zteaxon7787]

And then do some challenges (maybe mind) with chess, scrabble, videogame and poker player. Then some other challenges with Law, medicine, maths and chemistry college students. Then maybe archer vs army sniper vs hunter vs police. Then kickbox vs Thai box vs taekwondo vs jujitsu. Then a knowledge match between liberal, communist, conservative and national socialist. Then race a truck driver, pizza courier, bike courier and mailman. Then do a haggling match between a regular Jewish person (just for the kek) , a wall street broker, a pawn shop owner and a livestock auctioneer.

that football throw event was truly painful to watch lol

[@SandyRiverBlue]

It's like watching superhero tryouts and the little guy is winning.

WE NEED ANOTHER SERIES OF THIS

[@joeshmoo5230]

Steve needs to go to the nfl. He would destroy quartebacks lol 😂

[@frankdavis313]

This needs to be a preliminary round have em train at their worst events for x number of days and then recompete

[@Dotrund]

Loved this series enough to comment! All the competitors were such awesome sports and it was really interesting to see how close they all were

[@chrisalvarez6899]

Should of got Jeff cavalier on this. He’s all about Versatility and overall Athleticism.

[@bklyncrook]

And along critique how imbalance some of his other competitors are. LOL

[@MRmOnThER322]

He is much older than them though

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

He's too old

[@callumpankhurst1796]

Loved this, do it again but with people who weigh the same

[@afunkinduck4856]

yeah, because finding a crossfit athlete that weighs the same as a bodybuilde or powerlifter is doable...

[@retrosword4731]

@@afunkinduck4856 You do realise powerlifting has weight classes. And there are smaller bodybuilders, especially when they're on a cut and dehydrated you'll find some weighing as light as 80kg

[@DamianBrown]

Fun series!! bien hecho luís, eso si pana muy bien, humilde hasta el fin!

[@bobbismith1675]

Heppner's joy during knockout was so funny, and the Colombian couldn't be anymore adorable.

[@k01dsv]

The other guys were like "Mad props to those guys, they did well". Steve (the strong man) was like "Well, I was heavier, that's why I lost".

[@IAmEmber]

k01dsv right! Also, he didn't seem to take to the other guys. Maybe he is just an introvert though.

[@califilipino]

The powerlifter reminds me so much of Brock Lesnar.
