BOILED ALIVE! Ross Edgley attempts swim record in 48°C/118.4°F

[@RossEdgley]

Just wanted to say the BIGGEST thank you to the Gymshark team! Absolute HEROICS from them to produce this!!

[@gymshark]

We leave the heroics to you. Just glad we could tell the story.

Hi Ross, I play cricket, can you help me out with a gym workout plan?

Can't wait for part 2!! Go Ross and Gymshark!!!

[@TomPetoTraining]

Good decision to stop where you did. I was in Albania at this time & heat was unreal. Look forward to watching your next challenge 👏🏼💪🏼

[@antonamelung2608]

I’m 100% convinced the end sequence about the myth of Sisyphus will have a great impact on a lot of people who are struggling in life and see it. Things like these are much more than just a documentary. It’s a life saver 🙏🏻

What Ross said at the end of the video were some of the best motivational words I’ve heard recently! This man was born to struggle, and he learned how to enjoy it. Amazing!

Beautiful story. The irony of going from hypothermic temps to a freak heatwave is mad!! But the story is in the struggle and Ross' ability to keep pushing forward

[@peterjanoff]

Great job. I’ve just recently kick started my swimming after the pandemic threw me off keel for nearly 3 years out of the water. After watching this I’m even more convinced that I am back in it for the long haul. My strength is in my distances and now after watching this I’m ready to rebuild. Thanks for making this film.

[@BigVernOfficial]

I honestly think Ross is one of the greatest endurance athletes to ever live, his mindset is truly fantastic, he's our British Goggins!!! He is up there with Scott Jurek, Mark Allen etc in terms of amazing feats of endurance..... 🙏

[@vishwaskv81]

True. He is British goggins

[@ln5747]

That's because you don't know what you're talking about and have been fooled as such. His swims are extremely average, especially the "world's longest swim" - which was both an obfuscation of the truth and a huge grift.

[@digitalghosts4599]

It's stated at the beginning that taking such extreme challenges makes you a worse friend and family member, which makes me ask, why even do it? What's the point of risking one's life at the cost of relationships or orphaning children just to beat some challenge that brings absolutely no benefit to humanity or the closest family? I really hope that someone can explain it to me in the comments, because I've been asking myself these questions every time I learned some daredevil died trying some extreme challenge and the only answer that was coming to my mind was just their selfishness. One could say it's to inspire others, but is that really the primary motivation of those daredevils or is it just adrenaline addiction or a type of workaholism?

[@kmoneyarthur7434]

Well it goes back to what he says at the end of the video “the struggle alone is enough to fills a man’s heart If ever one was made to value the same things nothing new would ever come to be If you look at most genuines in history most of them were loners Because they were in love with there work If a person like him finds happiness in what he does then who are we to tell him not to be happy. And there for it makes you selfish for wanting to take away someone else’s happiness.

[@Big_Cool_Joe]

Ross is living the Goldilocks fairy tale in real life, too hot, too cold, fingers crossed your third attempt is just right!

I grew up over the past 25 years in california and there was a woman that would swim the entire Pismo coast and every now and again id visit the pier id see and happen to see her. I read about her being eaten by a shark a couple years back now, it was tragic. Felt so bad for her, as a child I always admired her bravery and was left inspired by her. This world is brutal.

Mr. Edgely has done more for the fitness industry (specifically the tsctical athlete) than any other. God bless you and your family, Ross.

[@carlonsae4147]

I'm having trouble understanding why would anyone put their selves through this. I mean he is not a legend, he is not a hero, he is just a simple man who has a dumb idea that he could do this. I mean its like, if he had an idea to stick a fork in an electrical socket he will, a dumb idea but its an idea he could do. I mean this is what he wants to be remembered for and that's cool. But in reality, when all said and done, no one will care and most people will move on to more cat videos. would he do this again? would he want to do this again? It's cool what he is doing cause it makes for a good KZbin video, but again its just something "he" would do. Good job on surviving through this.

[@coreycashman4735]

Ross gets nowhere near the recognition he deserves. Absolute savage, scholar, athlete and truly stand-up guy with impeccable character. Given the lack of strong male role models today the fact that he isn't as widely known/celebrated as the likes of Goggins, Jocko etc is criminal. I look forward to the day when he makes the global impact he's more than capable of making.

Watching this made me think of Maarten van der Weijden (Olympic gold marathon swimmer in 2008) who swam the 11stedentocht (eleven city swim), that’s around 195km. First time he didn’t succeed but the second time he did in little over 72 hours, and did a triathlon version of it a few year later, both to collect money for cancer research. It’s amazing how much some can do when having a goal and wanting to achieve it. Conditions from Ross and Maarten were completely different, but both are nuts if you ask me. Most people probably thought neither would make it, but impossible isn’t in some peoples dictionaries 😅.
