18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13. 1
Ahhh!
Hahaha.
Here we go, guys. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5.
What's up, guys?
The FitExpo is finally back this year, and I know they have the hang challenge
as well because I saw it on Instagram.
Let's see if I can beat it this time.
What are you doing here?
I'm trying to play the hang challenge.
Oh my god, you're gonna crush it.
I'm gonna try to crush it.
Oh man, oh man, 13 seconds this guy has left.
Are you going to beat it?
You are going to do it?
Alright, and that video went kind of 1.7 million views?
This guy is a big YouTuber right here.
It's crazy.
Alright, so are we going for it again?
You already know the rules, dude.
I know the rules.
You know the rules, alright.
We got Geek Climber in the building.
Last time he tried it, he failed at 87 seconds, so we are going to see.
We are going to see. We are going to see how he does.
Are you ready to do it?
Alright, so as soon as you jump up and grab, it.
I'll start.
Alright, guys, the challenge is live. We are doing the 100 second hang challenge.
Last time he did this, he failed with 13 seconds left.
I have a; I have a high degree of certainty that he's going to win this right now, so all you guys
are going to see likely the first person here to win today.
I think everyone here should, uh, search on YouTube Geek Climber and get his video to
2 million views.
It's like 1.7 million views right now. That's crazy.
Alright, we got the Geek Climber, and he's got 60 seconds remaining.
Let me hear it from the crowd.
How do you think he is going to do?
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's keep that energy.
How do you guys think he is going to do?
Do you think he will win this?
Is he going to kill it?
Last time he almost did it.
He went 87 seconds last time.
He's about to empty out my pockets, 40 seconds remaining.
He looks solid.
Alright, he's got 30 seconds on
the clock.
Oh man, it's getting close.
If he hits 10, we are going to give him the countdown.
We are going to give him a countdown soon.
We are going to give him a countdown.
Here we go, guys!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.
Ohhhhh.
Yo.
You gotta be kidding me.
Oh my god, what was going on in your mind up there?
I was trying to hold on for dear life.
For some reason, I just~
So let me ask you again. Was it worth the twenty?
Absolutely, always.
Alright, awesome, man, I appreciate you.
Thank you, Jarvis, appreciate it.
Man, that was close. That was good.
Ohhhh, okay. Let's go. Let's go. What a beast!
14, 13, 12, 11, 10. Come on, 9, 8.
Ohhh.
While I was recovering my forearms, I decided to try out the San Diego Sheriff Obstacle
Challenge right next to it.
First, exit the patrol vehicle.
Second, ride a bike for 15 cal.
Third, do 20 push-ups.
Fourth, do 20 sit-ups.
Lastly, drag a 165-lb weight for a short distance.
Okay. Set. Go.
15 calories.
There we go. Beast mode.
I got no legs.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Push-ups, let's go.
20, 20, 20.
1, faster, faster.
2, 3, 4. Keep going. Keep going.
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Keep going. 12. Good job, 13, 14.
It's okay. Take a break.
You have 6 more to go.
6 more, 6 more.
15, 16, 17.
Three more. Three more.
So close, go forward.
Two more, 19 and 20.
Come on around the bike.
Come around; come around. Oh, yeah, sit-ups. Never mind. Sorry.
1, 2, 3.
Save your partner. Save your partner.
Get there; get there; get there; get there.
Save your partner.
Keep going.
Almost there, almost there.
2:35.
Catch your breath.
2:35!
Man, I am only good at pulling. I can't … no cardio, no legs, no pushing.
I performed so badly that it took me more than twice as much time on the leaderboards,
so I decided to go to the marine booth to do what I am best at, pulling.
Do you want to come?
I will try.
I haven't tested my max pull-ups for a long time, and my one rep max pulling strength
has gotten way better in recent years, so it would be interesting to see whether higher
one rep max translates to better endurance.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, nice, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Come on. Go three more, three more.
Ah!
I ended up only being able to do 12, which
I believe is the same as what I could do before I started YouTube.
However, I was still out of breath due to the 15 cal bike ride and I think that affected
me, so I decided to rest up, catch my breath, walk around, and enjoy the FitExpo a bit.
When the FitExpo was about to end, I decided to head to the special air force booth and
tried to test my max pull-ups again.
Keep going, keep going.
Three more.
Two more.
Last one.
Ohh.
This time I could do 15 and since I was not out of breath anymore, this should be my real
max.
You may imagine someone who can do a one-arm pull-up should be able to do 25 pull-ups in
a row easily, but honestly, it's a whole different kind of fatigue.
Having to force yourself to rush through the reps with low intensity feels very different
from focusing on doing one rep with high intensity.
In any case, this channel has been focusing on one rep maxes, but if you are interested
in seeing me improving my pulling endurance from 15 pull-ups to 20 or even 25 pull-ups,
comment below and let me know.
If there is enough interest, I will go for it.
The FitExpo was super fun and I like how this event is becoming bigger and bigger, but I
am also super disappointed that I didn't beat the hang challenge.
Hopefully I can beat it next year.
Thanks for watching.
