Lance had a time of 5: 08 and I was 5: 22 or something.

[@jamesguacamole3246]

No worries ZT - you're not the first person who has had their ass handed to them by Lance Armstrong - lol

[@abner2193]

Screw Lance, that guy faked everything. He used donated money to sue people and made their lives miserable. Has he apologised and compensated the Andreu's? As bad as the Liver King scam was, he didn't screw peoples lives like Lance Liestrong.

[@derekbrotherton3462]

Good to see Lance cycling again, even better to see him on a bike

[@egodominustuus9167]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ronc7743]

He never got off the bike.

[@AZWings]

Lance is a competitive animal. Regardless of the doping, he was (is) an incredible athlete. Everyone he beat was doping, too, so it says a lot about his condition and mental capabilities.

[@geordiedownundernz8116]

Totally agree !! He’s still a beast.

[@blackflamesolutions526]

Lance had an excusive contract with the mastermind of doping. All the riders wanted to work with Dr Ferrari, but Lance paid him for exclusive treatment. He also had the protection of the sports governing body. He had the power to get rivals tested positive or warned about taking products that he could take with impunity. The idea that it was a level playing field is massively wide of the mark.

[@miroslavivanovitch384]

Or maybe he was just the best at cheating ... BTW, having followed LA from the end of the 90s as a triathlete, his recent ITW bring a different light to his approach to doping At first, he said he started doping after the use of EPO became generalized in the mid 90s The, in another ITW, he said he started doping around 91 Bottom line is , he most likely started cheating when he started competing as a junior in triathlon

[@huntychunks]

@@blackflamesolutions526 Agree. Certain naivety to think that they were all doping at the same level, Lance had the money and the protection to take it to a whole other level. But the UCI made that bed and ruthless competitors like Lance simply exploited it. A mental beast? No doubt!

[@kimmbus]

He's probally a beast, that's for sure.. But once a cheater, always a cheater..

[@pegleggreg3627]

On top of being an incredible athlete, he also is one of th emost legendary jazz musicians, AND he was the first person on the moon. Simply incredible

[@RogueCylon]

Narcissist, napoleon, and destroyer of peoples career and lives. Other than that probably pretty cool.

[@combatjones4832]

This rules. More people should appreciate what a monster Lance was and still is

[@LucasDimoveo]

What kind of monster?

[@che9357]

I think it's just more appreciation for world class elite athletes. It's their life and as much shit as we talk we will never ever get CLOSE to touching them - across all sports. It's such a small percent of humans lol its bonkers

[@brynmatton107]

Lance was BORN to be an elite athlete, but also paired with an unparalleled will and determination to win is what made and going by your video still makes him a formidable competitor, GOAT 👌

[@miroslavivanovitch384]

Nobody who behaves like a mob boss, is the best at cheating, tries to destroy everybody (rightfully) criticizing him should be worthy of being called GOAT

[@kitsch302]

This just made my day!!! You got to workout with Lance Armstrong! I also loved the old school stop watch..

[@rapamune]

Competition athletes are just built different, immediately apparent when the basal animal instincts kick into high gear irrespective of the environment or context..

[@cm2485]

All those cameras and not one can manage to show the ski pace, row pace or bike pace .. how lame

[@pbfishing5153]

Dude Fraser did it in 4:57. This is incredible.

[@danielson9144]

Armstrong Never train his arms...

[@andrewbull4175]

He also has horribly inefficient rowing technique. Easily 10 seconds to gain just from that

[@ryankeels4661]

Peter Attia asked Lance in an interview if he could still do 350 watts as his steady state (1hr) cycling pace, Lance said it was unlikely... during the peak of his career he averaged 495w (one of the highest ever recorded) for 36m up Alpe d'Huez... That should give a relative idea of how much faster he was at 30ish

[@blackflamesolutions526]

The 495 watts was at the peak of the EPO / Blood doping era. Without the drugs he'd have gotten nowhere near it.

[@learning.isnt.linear]

I thought steady state was Zone 2, and threshold was like Zone 4. I heard Pog's Zone 2 is like 300+ watts.

[@walidoutaleb7121]

@@blackflamesolutions526 in the podcast he said epo was a 10% boost in watts and that off drugs he was still doing around 450

[@blackflamesolutions526]

@@walidoutaleb7121 If you weigh 75kg it's the difference between 6w/kg and 6.6 w/kg. That's a *massive* step up. Plus I don't believe that he coud do 450 mins EPO. He is trying to minimise the effect doping had on him to make himself look more talented.

[@felixkluge2977]

Great video, and also great to see the fire in Lance`s eyes in a "random" training session, motivates me too!

[@cgo6502]

I've been thinking for a while you should explore the world of cycling. Great to see!!

[@cgo6502]

You might find yourself down 30 pounds smashing watts if you aren't careful...

[@EddieSturkey]

Great video and very motivating for me to start pushing myself harder on the rower and at the gym in general, especially the next 12.5 years (when I turn 52).

[@samcapslock5429]

mixing the bodybuilding style movements with the cardio has been a game changer! thanks so much!

[@patrickedwards5804]

I tell you Zack, if his form on the rowing ERG was better he would shat you out even further. Glorious vlog. 🎉

[@Bob-lw2ob]

cool video! waiting for the Hampton Morris!

[@josephgaroldwood4252]

We are training with Lance Armstrong!!! Can’t imagine being able to say that haha!! Very cool!!

[@agnidas5816]

I suspect Lance paced himself just to beat the 5:10 guy . Since bike was last ... That's the real kicker and testament to his fitness.

[@TheHybridGoose]

Great racing with you Zack! We should do this again monthly. I've hit 5:04 before - would love your help breaking 5:00

How is there not more love for this title?

Lance is an animal. Always has been, always will be. Great vid.

Lance was and still is absolute legend raced and followed cycling from the early 80s doping in cycling has been around forever and still is people are quick to forget the 10s of millions his Livestrong charity raised for cancer sufferers and there family's great to looking so good best wishes Lance still the man.

When’s the Lance Armstrong interview dropping?

[@ChrisBiesterfeld1]

Okay I’m intrigued

[@shannonsteven3982]

People can say what they want about him but Lance was without a doubt one of the most ruthless competitors of all time. Getting a chance to work out with him would be unreal

[@jimlayhey1965]

ask lemond what kind of guy he was

[@jonasmeier417]

Being worl champion, fighting cancer, winning 7 times the Tour de France - the hardest bicycle race in the world. Doping yes, but this you only do if you are physically and mentally killer. Lance always wants to be good - usually he wants to win. He trained and learnt a lot motivation- and perfoming-wise. His body is one of the strongest on the planet - and the one of his revial and friend Jan Ullrich is tough too. Lance is at 52 in great shape.

[@Lechedeesnuts]

everyone dopes anw the real question with cycling is who dopes the hardest and who has the most means to do it

[@pinaattiohukainen]

This is cool and all, but when do we get more lift companion with dylan?

[@jasonmurray4714]

Acid Bath! Oh this one is horrible about 60s after you're done. I think I did 5:35 when I was in shape.

Incredible time

[@adan2974]

Cool seeing Juan leija in the video

[@somebody-by9ge]

Very cool!

[@npc4188]

he was never officially caught on doping test, his problem was the amount of control he wanted on professional cycling that his teammates and rivals rat him out

[@blackflamesolutions526]

He tested positive for cortisone in 1999 and EPO in 2001. Both times his pals at the UCI got him off the hook and kept it quiet.

[@Der_Richiee]

You should link up with Greg Doucette and go Zwift Racing

[@rebeccalindner2481]

To be able to say you did an acid bath with Lance Armstrong 👀

[@jpflo698]

Huge Lance fan. While the drug stuff certainly tainted his legacy somewhat in my view….but the enjoyment I got out of cheering for him and USPS during his heyday at the Tour de France was special. He and I are also same age..so love seeing someone 52 still kicking ass. And he had more in the tank if he cleaned up his rowing technique….that was really sloppy, probably cost him 5-10 seconds of pace just with the early arm pull and shortened stroke. But that’s super nitpicky. The dude is and always will be a monster in my eyes.

[@user-ko3gh2xp4y]

What were the times? That was awesome!

[@noncog1]

Lance 5:08 zt 5:22

[@greyhoundgirl9726]

Lance was never a team player and he plays to win. He is still an amazing athlete and still has incredible biker legs.

[@NboOfficialAus]

Give him his 🎖 back everyone was cheating he still raced the races

[@matthewpearson1760]

I am embarrassed for Lance's coach at Onnit. You let one of the greatest athletes of our time row like that. Please correct his mechanics. Maybe instead of being at a Knock Off CrossFit gym, he should go to a real CrossFit gym with coaches that will help an athlete do things correctly. 2 Stars for Onnit.

Lance is a legend!

Ive never even tried crossfit, and im a 59 yr old cyclist, not even former pro, but I’d slay the chubby 33 yr old all day long for another decade so whats your point? Few are in lance’s league regardless of age or fitness so ofcourse you are goi g to get crushed…keep pushing and dont give up. Nice vid

[@frankgallagher5786]

Lance is made for the Ironman. Still a beast.

[@markphilpottultra]

Hay Zack, love the content mate......hey go check out some of the world record times for us 60 year olds and see if you can hang anywhere near any of them......Over 52 doesnt mean you are washed up, there are some insane mature aged athletes out here........

[@user-it9vs3vq2z]

I like lance armstrongs body as a goal more than crossfitters, bodybuilders, or the words strongest man. He's a giant to me. The amount of work he can do is insane. And his body will work in extreme heat. Lets say that you're an explorer in the wooden boat days. those are the guys that you want on your boat. The amount of work they can do in a day is insane. and they eat fat so that super efficient for food storage. That dude doesn't need a car. He would also beat you with pulling a load on his bike. The abominable snowman iceland people can't handle heat. Body builders can't handle heat. Working in heat is the worst feeling. Looking at peak arnold thinking about if I had to work looks like a fur coat in the sauna. Then if you had to eat eight meaty meals a day on top of that. Armstrong can run on ice cream.

[@drc3857]

Blood test should have been done first 🙃 kidding aside, great vid

[@williambuckley6128]

There is a huge difference between a Professional athlete who worked for a living their whole life and a competitive athlete. We can't compete with them. Ray Lewis on a bike is a monster. Reggie Miller is a monster on the bike. 70 year old Olympic runner in the 70s Guy Abrahams, is a beast on the bike.
