- The athletes face a wet, cold and blustery day one in Big Bear, but their excitement to compete outweighs the poor conditions. In DEKA Heavy, the weighted sled push quickly becomes many athletes’ Achilles heel. Tempers flare in the Special Warfare: No Guts No Glory PAST test when select competitors learn they must complete a swim in freezing waters even though they cannot win points.
DAY ONE EVENTS:
- DEKA HEAVY: Ten weighted functional fitness exercises, completed for time.
- SPECIAL WARFARE: NO GUTS, NO GLORY: Spartan’s take on the Air Force Special Warfare PAST test (Physical Ability & Stamina Test), which consists of two swims, a 1.5 mile run, push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups.
-
Spartan Games: Battle of the Fittest
Sixteen athletes - OCR legends, functional fitness champions and more - enter a new battleground to compete for $50,000. Over four days in Big Bear Lake, California, they will fight through nine grueling challenges that test every facet of physical and mental fitness: obstacle racing, combat, trail running, mountain biking, and a few surprise challenges created with Air Force Special Warfare. Every athlete will be tested. Every athlete will be ripped out of their comfort zone. But only one will be The Fittest.
New episodes every Thursday at 8 pm EST.

Atkins push-ups or should I say half push ups when guys like Hunter are crushing perfect ones..
Lol yep
And those "pull ups" in deka...
There is an easy way to judge push-ups. You put a foam block down and the judge makes sure the athlete taps that with their chest. Every military and law enforcement agency does that either with a foam block or fist. Not sure why the Air Force didn’t use that standard…
Bullets don’t care about half push-ups either.
@@jessicalhayes lol military doesn't use foam blocks
@@sryana8015 I’ve seen foam blocks used now in place of a fist due to covid. But typically, I’ve seen a fist placed underneath the chest area. Foam blocks are also used by men in place of touching a woman’s chest, so yes. There are ways to count and judge the full depth of a push-up.
In NO world do those push-ups shown in this episode count as full reps.
I love this series and was especially inspired by season 1, but why are we spending so much time with this host guy this season? Would rather spend more time on the athletes.
I love Lindsay, but there's no reason why she should have been allowed to accept a penalty over even attempting the sled. I know it's a strategic move, but the option to even write that into your strategy shouldn't have existed. She's literally a professional athlete. You can't do something, you get DQ'ed. It's like they deliberately set up the rules to cater to certain people and certain people only.
And some of those guys' push-ups were trashhhhhh I woulda no-repped each and every one
This is inspiring for someone who has only done one Spartan Spring Race back in 2017. I need inspiration and do believe in hope. Thank you for this video!
Took less than 5:00 for Yancy to drop a “cyborg” 😂😂😂. That dude is amazing.
Some people do full push ups. Some do half push ups. Same score?
Shiiuuuuu... Those are spartan push ups 🤣
All of the pull-ups were trash, but we live in a kipping world now 😑
The leaderboard looks a little off after the first event...
This is so entertaining. Looking forward to the following episodes.
No guts no glory, no legend no story . Get it done , arrhhhuuuu !! 💪 proud spectator here 🤩
Loving this 43 minute military advertisement
Lol my husband said the same thing. He’s Army and he goes sounds like they are recruiting for the AF lol I said I’m actually watching a Spartan comp he said Gtfoh 😂😂
You shouldn't give out penalties for skipping stations that are lower than the time it takes the slowest athlete to complete it. A oenalty has to be really costly...otherwise theres no point in it
I don’t think they expected the issue with the sled pull. Otherwise none of those stations took anyone more than five minutes.
Awesome job to all the athletes! Can't wait to see the next episode.
The premise for this games is great. The programming and set-up is equal to a decent organized local event. If you want to draw people make this be more professional in it orientation and presentation. I hear there is a "Dave" guy who might be looking for a job, he would help your presentation immensely.
So fun to watch!
Yancy needs to put that deadlift weight up to 405lbs for men...it is DEKA HEAVY
LOVE the action! Can't wait for the next one.
Great episode.
This is awesome
woohoo!! love it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
SPOILER: HALF THE FIELD DROPPED FOR BOREDOM AFTER HAVING TO WATCH JOES CNBC SHOW FOR AN HOUR.
At 23:15, you're showing Ryan ahead of Veejay in the standings... after how much Spartan hyped this up and how long it took before these episodes started coming out, these silly errors are a pretty bad look. Same with Lindsay over Meg Reardon
Yeah I didn’t understand that one either.
Airforce Special Warfare talking about standards as they stand around with their hands in their pockets! I once new an Airforce guy who suffered from PTSD, he had recurring nightmares of when the Ice Cream Truck broke down and all the Dilly Bars melted!
This soundtrack is fire👌
Excelent episode,
Love that
Spartan's gonna need to decide if this is an athletics competition or a reality show about hazing, cause they don't mix. Realising you can't just wing filming and then stitch together random snippets of movement would be nice too.
they definitely need to do tryouts for this so the bar can be set even higher and make it even harder on the athletes.I definitely would try out 🙌🏻🙌🏻
They did a better job selecting athletes this year than last. The overall level of competition is a lot closer
@@randomname5354 lmao I'd like to see you try. They didn't start with the 1.5 mile run. Did you even watch the full episode?
@@randomname5354 I mean, they also completed DEKA Heavy like an hour before this by the looks of it.. Some of these guys don’t train specifically for endurance. Like Chris Harris said, he literally found out 2 weeks in advance that he was going to do this, not much time for someone to switch their training.
@@randomname5354 cool now do it after DEKA heavy in freezing cold Temps at a high altitude
Definitely if you are looking for the fittest then they need to be the fittest. You have people skipping obstacles saying they won’t even do an entire event. This is not the fittest. (Also no I can’t do it either but I’m not on the show claiming to be the fittest most well rounded athlete.)
I guess with how many issues Spartan have had making clear rules/standards for their races, it should be no surprise that their scoring and standards for Spartan Games make absolutely no sense at all.
Hopefully this is longer than episode 1.
I sure hope so! Inject 60 minutes into my eye balls please! :)
Am I to understand that the Air Force special warfare master Sargent did not pass his own challenge?
Much better than the first episode. Although, I would have preferred to see all the athletes compete against each other at the same time for the Deka heavy, instead of only two at a time.
I'm sure there was a good reason for that
Can someone explain the score confusion with Atkins and Lindsey?
Here we go picking and choosing rules to put who they want on the top. No one should be able to skip any events or everyone should be able to skip one 🤷🏾♀️
As long as the rule is mentioned before the event it stands as is.
You really should make DAVID GOGGINS come, that would be awesome.
Episode 2 be like… in a world, there a people, on a mountain range, crazy competition ever done before, and the event is………. The end
You know I’m right
Not sure how this could be a level competition.... you are getting a 5 min penalty for something that may take more than 5 mins... and how you get zero for not completing one of 5 events in the past test...the same zero as if I failed all.
Awesome! It would be nice to see strict pull ups tho lol. Only because the military sponsors it. They are all animals. Oops spoke to soon lol
looks like they took AFSOC PFT and made it an event.
👏🏻💪🏻🔥
Atkins did half pushup! judge did not called this ?
Why the slow motion and the mellow music? I thought this was a dynamic sport. And you keep switching back and forth between competitors. No idea who is doing well. And way to much exposition from a non competitor.
They should show the times and reps actively throughout the segment. It’s hard to keep up lol
Man, the comment section be salty. Let’s just come here and appreciate the sport and enjoy the show.
Fun episode, looking forward to the next one!
It's fitness challenge not reality show
Is it normal in these races for the pull ups to be so dynamic? Seems more like a kip (if I am getting the term right) rather than a "real" pull up.
In the Deka I mean.
I don’t think they specified it for the DEKA. Hunter knows how to do kipping pull-ups. Anyone who ever did CrossFit would know too. Every video I have seen of the military pull ups show them doing strict pull-ups, so maybe it was specified for that challenge.
Man, awesome... Brazil needs spartan! This séries is "foda" as we say here... kkk 🗡💀
*****SPOILLLERRSS****
This was well worth the wait! great job Spartan team :). Would love to see how the overall scores were calculated on event 2. I believe Atkins beat Hunter by 1 second total. But I don't understand how Kent beat them. He had a few extra points after the pull/push/sit ups, but he lost ground on the run and swim. Regardless of the calculation used, it would have been EXTREMELY close between all 3 of them.
Agree!!!
Anyone notice in the intro the primer wasn't struck on the round? It would be impossible for the bullet to be shot and the casing to be ejected. Good details, stay tactical Spartans.
Whoever is doing the visuals for this season has to step it up. The scoreboard is off after the first event.
Can I also get more footage of the athletes instead of this host guy??
A 30 second penalty for cheating by pretending to swim- WTF?!
Enjoyable to watch but a lot more planning, thought and consistent standards need to go into this for it to be a credible competition with credible result
i know right, I compete in spartan race in the UK and unfortunately this comp is a shining beacon of how unorganised they are and how little they care about competition standards.
These "elite" athletes can't do 12 strict pullups???
Music?
Why when Lindsay and Ryan finished 4th in Deka were they 3rd in the leaderboard after event 1? X
CrossFit pull ups 😬
Trying to guess how Spartan scored the PAST. Looking at finishing positions of the women who passed (low scores are better).
Weeks positions: 2, 3, 2, 2, 1 = 10
Coffin positions: 1, 2, 1, 5, 4 = 13
Webster positions: 4, 8, 3, 1, 2 = 18
Actual finishing positions: 1st Weeks, 2nd Webster, 3rd Coffin. WTF
Nope. The only pattern I can see is that they just placed them in reverse alphabetical order...
Similar thing with the guys. Hunter should be above Atkins. No idea how the scoring can be justified.
spartan are horrible with scoring, i remember a guy in one of the AG in the UK won 3 out of the 4 races in the series but because of how they count the points he still somehow came 2nd overall lol.
On a positive this is fun to watch I like the idea of it a lot. Not sure how the scoring works, it’s not a far test of fitness to say in certain events if you are incapable of doing one of the test you get a small time penalty while in another it means you completely fail and get 0. Also if you are swimming and unable to meet the standard of being under water for 25m means you fail then touching or kicking off the bottom during the surface swim should also be a fail not just a 30s penalty. I would also like to know how Hunter is not 2nd in the second event how did they score that? I get that different events can have different standards but these are huge variances which kinda seem to allow advantage for certain types of athletic abilities. In event 1 if the 5 min time penalty is the slap I think that can be ok but the athlete should have to at least attempt that test until the time cap is reached, even is that means they are standing there for most of the 5 min. Now that’s a penalty it breaks their rhythm and messes with their mental knowing they can’t do it. Just skipping and breezing on is lame.
Rules suck! No finished event, should mean no pomts, or else, They will only compete in the events they are good at. Soe events have time penalty while others kick you out of points? Hummm....a little cheesy ha?
All great but technic on the machines are so poor. You would expect more from top athletes.
Your media team should make the episode feel exciting, not boring. Terrible editing and soundtrack. And please explain the standards for those "pull ups" and "push ups"😆
Cold and wet is one of the biggest reasons for failing Navy Seal training.
Still not a fan of the scoring. 1st and 2nd place scores are too far apart while 2nd-3rd and so on are too close.
Props to Kent for crushing it.
Song @7:20?
Those pull ups 😑 cringe
Atkins pull-ups looked clean. At least he was over the bar on every one.
some of these guys seem so unfit. This is really the best 8 guy you could find? They struggle to do pullups? wtf is this?
Most of them are just endurance runners
@@mr.henriques but then why make them do Deka heavy? i dont get whats the point… Mat Fraser would pull up there and smash them all lol
@@sebastiendrouin2 true. But this is not aimed at crossfit athletes but spartan racers. So it's "heavy" for their standards. It's still a joke though, as they should at least enforce the standards for proper movement. You can clearly see in that group who's used functional training and who's only running and doing monkey bars.
@@mr.henriques Clearly haha! They dont even do butterfly pullups… Hunter does it and some others. But its still mostly stupid
I was confused here. Hunter got 30 pull-ups. Yet he held the Murph record for a while so clearly he is trained for pull-ups. What were the rules? We’re they not allowed to drop off the bar? Strict pull-ups only?
No ultrarunners this time..wonder why
I wish they had more bios on screen as athletes are competing. Pure ultra runners are amazing, but they aren’t gonna do good here as we saw last year. What I like most about the show is showing how athletes from different sports can succeed in this type of competition, but last season answered that question for ultrarunners.
they're too weak
The level of just downright disrespect that for some reason, we’re calling the MSgt as “MSgt” for his FIRST NAME, yet the female 1ST LIEUTENANT, is referred to by her first name. Are you joking. Also, why have I heard the MSgt’s quote in the background three times already and I’m in episode 4.
They are great athletes but their exercise parameters are really not good. Very far from being the fittest.
Except for Corina, Hunter and Kent these 3 if you see a very different preparation being more complete athletes.
It would be expected that Kent, Hunter, Veejay, and Atkins would excel at an event designed by a functional endurance company to measure functional endurance performance. For me personally, any of these four men would be considered more fit than other athlete types.
I enjoy the episodes but for the future maybe have more footage of the workouts and cut literally all of the host giving his takes.
So, the way it was edited made it look like Lindsay Webster was the only female to skip an entire component of the DEKA heavy. If that’s accurate, I hope that 4th place feels like trash. Coffin finished way faster doing it all.
God designed my body for DEKA HEAVY
Ok the men's "scoring" put the kaibosh on my "reverse alphabetical order" scoring system. So...names out of a hat?
Interesting that they put the top of the podium Spartan Athletes and NO top CrossFit athletes. Don't het me wrong been a CrossFit games athletes by qualification is a HUGE deal. But NO top 10 CrossFiters. Just saying....
No doubt they tried getting the top CrossFitters involved.
They probably tried and couldn’t. And they absolutely should.
wow they really trying nard to make lindsey skipping an exercise a good smart thing as opposed to taking responsibility for setting a dumb rule.
Soooo much cheating going on in this competition
First series was better
I dig spartan race and I like the show I think it's well presented at least from an entertainment perspective. Some of the actual competition aspects seem kinda sloppy and not well thought out but it's only season two. But I gotta say this series does stink of that kind of toxic frat guy culture from those never back down movies from the early 2000's like while what they are doing is inherentky cool it stills comes off a bit cheesy 🤣🤣
Nothing about frat culture is toxic.
I respectfully disagree with Kev-O. These are all top-level athletes that wouldn’t be there if they weren’t ultra competitive. It comes with the territory. Also, most of them are close friends and train together.
💪🤘😎 with the weather as a factor; this has pulled on par with the CrossFit games.
Not even close buddy…
CrossFit has minimum work requirements and actual movement standards.
@@jessicalhayes with Air Force PJs and Combat Controllers controlling the Standards for the tests, I don‘t think that your comment is warranted. You are right in that this comp is an invitational without a clear standard of who qualifies for an invite. The CF Games do have a clear path that even „unaffiliated „ athletes can take, as long as they pay their fees and perform to standard. That would be a really good thing for the Spartan organization.
@@WalksAlone Did you see the push-up standards they upheld?
They also didn’t show the majority of the reps for Deka heavy either likely because most of those didn’t meet the standard.
This is entertaining, but not on par with the CrossFit games whatsoever.
@@jessicalhayes I agree with you that the judging and standards have been terrible here. And they didn’t bother to explain the standards to the audience. This problem did not exist last year. However the CrossFit Games have their own problems (in my opinion), namely the dangerous, anything goes lifting form they allow to pass.
I had the opportunity to watch this episode. I get it has been very controversial since it aired. You got to have fairness for any contest in order to have validity. From strongmen to ultra marathon runners, there are rules and parameters. If those rules aren’t applied equally among the competition then it’s hurts the legitimacy of the contest. When it comes to day 1 of the contest. If you have a name DEKA HEAVY, you have to have heavy stations. A sled is hard to push depending on multiple factors; surface, sled quality(smooth or roughed up), weight on the sled, and conditions. Unfortunately it seemed like the grass was high and it was wet. Bad news for trying to push a sled. BUT this is “DEKA Heavy” it should be heavy! It should take extra strength and power in order to complete the entire course. So in this case, it would be better to say there is no time penalty granted for skipping the course, you need to complete it. If you can’t complete it, too bad, you get a 0. If I don’t complete the 20k marathon, I get a 0. You can’t be favored biased towards the endurance based athlete and not the strength/power athlete.
Also 225lbs on the deadlift for like 8 reps? Are you kidding me? At least 315lbs next time. If it takes their main guy Atkins 2 hrs then it takes him 2 hrs. Ancient Spartans were strong as hell. They carried around an 80-100lbs bronze shield and had a 15ft long spear. They fought shoulder to shoulder in phalanx formation. The closet thing to this is an offensive linemen in the NFL. You catch my drift yet.
Now for the second event, the whole Air Force PT test. You cant have a moving target when having standards. I’m huge on following the rules. If the rules say you can’t propel yourself in the water by touching the floor of the lake, then that is breaking the rules. Now, was there a standard for that penalty like a “no rep” or “time penalty”? It does seem like since the event was a “do it all or you get a 0” then I would lean to a “no rep” which would result in a 0 score for the competitors that broke that rule.
Lastly, Ryan Atkin’s push-ups were not push-ups, so he should get a 0 too.
The standards and conditions are really taking away any enjoyment from this ‘competition’
Not a single pushup done, seriously all noreps. What a joke
...
This one was super boring to watch, I feel like half the episode was talking about the episode and the other half was a PowerPoint.
Terrible reality show. Let me know when we can focus on the actual competition and not the drama of it all. No one cares what Watson thought of the weather 🤦♂️. You can't even tell who's winning or losing during the event for fcks sake.
like the competition, but Spartan's presentation is lackluster...This host should be edited out. He thinks he is interesting, and insightful, but has offered absolutely nothing. I would rather hear from the athletes talk about the challenges of each event.
Scoring is difficult to understand, and the way it is put together the organizers aren't sure about the scoring either.
"it's fäntästäc. fäntästäc!"
Where is Joe?
