14:41 for as big as this guy is he actually moves with so much grace it's super impressive. I think we can all learn something from alternative training disciplines.
Bodyweight ratio to lifted weight will always be more favourable for lighter people. So the jacked dude shouldn't really feel bad for having ratio worse. If he somehow magically dropped weight heavily, his lift would definitely also drop, but the ratio would get much better.
It's really why DOTS/Wilks is a far better metric to use for such comparisons. Some 60kg dude deadlifting 180kg is not half as impressive as a 90kg dude deadlifting 270kg (~600 pounds) People just don't get how the square-cube law works in real life.
Yeah. It doesnt make as much sense for as "evening field" for me. Let's say we have 2 friends both start at 50 kilo. First one get 100 kg deadlift with the same bodyweight after year and other one got 120 deadlift with 60kg bodyweight. The second one seems like better powerlifter for me: he is obviously stronger because he put size. But that bodyweight ratio would disregard that and say: "Nah their both the level of strength is the same." So instead of leveling the field in can devalue the one's achievements.
That´s why sports like weightlifting or powerlifting use adapted metrics like sinclair or wilks. A simple bodyweight ratio is not a fair evaluation. It´s just not how the human body works.
That doesn't make sense. For athletes with such low body fat, the heavier athlete has the advantage when comparing the moved weight to body weight because a greater proportion of that body weight is muscle compared to the smaller lifters. And let's not forget that the biggest dude had the highest ratio.
So… the body builder (at least among the men) was definitely the most naturally gifted athlete of the bunch. Not trying to take away any of his or anyone else’s accomplishments, which are very impressive, but his comment about always having a good vertical sort of confirmed that he’s just built different.
Bodybuilder is definitely the MVP, very unexpectedly. His level of muscle mass is unattainable (even with gear) for pretty much everyone there, and almost everyone in the world, and still having a significant level of strength, an amazing vertical jump, obviously incredible leg press, and amazing bike performance is ridiculous. In terms of impressiveness in this challenge specifically, he was the one who impressed me the most.
@@enderium3253 for most of the exercises, his high body weight was actually to his detriment. All the exercises were pretty much standardized, so it's impressive that he was the most well-rounded athlete in the group.
@@enderium3253 Only 2 of the events were strength based and they both took into account weight so him being twice as big as everyone wasn't an advantage at all. Also, you can't tell me you expected him to have the highest heart rate recovery and vertical jump at his size..
It isn't if you think about it. Neither the 1 minute assault bike or the HR recover is cardiovascular fitness test, its a pure anaerobic fitness test. Its not surprising the guy who usually takes 45-60 seconds to do all the bodybuilding sets repeated with 1-2 minutes of recovery; its basically been accidentally designed for him. Whereas the distance runner does poorly. My last block for a long trail running race my shortest "high intensity intervals" were 20 minute threshold paced repeats. I'd be interested to see the comparison of them all doing a critical power test or FTP test on a stationary bike.
Anaerobic is part of cardiovascular fitness, and I expect for most people it is a pretty decent proxy. So is FTP of course, but putting someone on a bike also will only get you one part of cardiovascular fitness. I would suck at your fitness metrics, even in my rowing days, because I rarely set on a bike, and I never had to do those kinds of workouts. It's much shorter: 10x1 min, 6x2min, etc. It's hard to find the right test that works for everyone. I'd be curious to see if people who only lift get similar results, cause from what I've seen those people actually are limited by their lack of cardiovascular fitness.
@@lucasseuren4180 1 minute efforts are not a good way to judge cardiovascular fitness, precisely because it is anaerobic. It mostly relies on anaerobic metabolism, which isn't directly correlated to cardiovascular fitness, before relying on the aerobic metabolism once this first system is exhausted. Hence why the bodybuilder did good, training almost exclusively his anaerobic metabolism. His just lasted longer than others and he didn't have to tap into his aerobic metabolism as much, giving him a shorter HR recover.
I'm confused about the heart rate recovery section. He said that above 18 is good but he said that the heaviest athlete scored the worst. The heaviest athlete was 45, isn't that the best?
7:34 Bruh 2,5-3X BW is supposed to be Advanced and the guy who won the deadlift event by lifting 300kg or 2,5X BW barely makes it into advanced. The professional power lifter girl hit 2,4X BW is supposedly just intermediate. This estimate for how much you should pull is ass tbh.
@@VasardoPT Oh yeah, thanks! Missed female category. Although I do still feel I agree with my sentiment that the inteval for advanced is a little high. But I guess it depends in what context you are talking. If Elite is Literally top in the worlds then I guess the scale is fair. But for the average gym goer i feel that the intervals are high.
I had an amazing time doing this fitness test. I think the takeaway of this video should be that your journey is your own , and it’s great to test yourself and get out of your comfort zone 🫶✌️
Eugene, absolutely loved this concept! Small piece of feedback from a viewer experience: The audio distortion from the screaming made it hard to listen to at times.
Loved this video - not only because it was cool to get so many different types of elite athletes together, but because they were Australian and therefore just generally more fun and laid back. Nice one. Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Feels like Eugene is just completely ignoring the results of the test so he can keep saying what he has pre-written down. The body builder did the best on every test but he doesn't even talk about that at all, just continues to say we should switch from pure bodybuilding to hybrid training because that's what he did.
Probably since Eugene knows that the bodybuilder has clearly used steroids, you cannot achieve that kind of muscle mass and endurance naturally. That's why I would be careful not to highlight bodybuilding too much, since most of us cannot achieve those results naturally just by bodybuilding.
Damn your T's are fitting perfectly, if i may ask where do you buy those? As a short dude i always struggle to find T's which are not to long and still fit nicely at my chest and back
50 seconds all out was nkt a good test. Seasoned runners and sprinters and swimmers know their pace for anything beyond 20 seconds most of the time. They don't just exhaust everything.
Ah unfortunate but you have a small misstake in the video. At 16:55 you show the sheet of the excercises and the test but you managed to mix up the test of the dead hang vs vertical jump. EXCERCISE: TEST: DEAD HANG MAX HEIGHT IN INCHES VERTICAL JUMP MAX TIME @ BW
For dead hang, a pr of mine is hanging on one arm, with extra bw attached(additional 70kgweight to my 70kg bw so 140kg total) for like 5 secs.....since there's no standards for dead hangs i never really know how to rate that
As a 55 year old man who lifts weights and does cardio on a regular basis, I won't do a 1 rep max on anything. What would be a comparable goal for 5 reps or 10 reps?
Seemed like many people didn't want their scores being shown. I guess it was a matter of consent or something. It's impressive to see our bodybuilder buddy getting such high results, I also figure the dead hang was one he knew wasn't gonna go well
Is there a way to do high intensity cardio except running? I walk at least 10k every day but and am pretty fit but i wanna do some intense cardio just for the heck of it
Eugue, great video. I would love for you to check out the most underrated physical culturalist on TH-cam: Will Ratelle. Dude is crazy strong AND fast. You should do an interview with him.
Please does anyone know the full name of the guy with a short torso and long legs doing a deadlift, the only part I got from his name was “Stewart” and I am not sure it is completely correct
a better test for cardio / pulmonary fitness would have been a either a timed distance to run, cycle or row or an equivalent to the coopers run test imo
A 1min all out sprint is not really a sign of endurance. It still favours athletes with really high vlamax. There is no component here that really displays cardiovascular endurance.
im honestly shocked how strong these girls are, when you see women in gym, they do tiny weights compared to men, even if they look like they been training for couple of years.
@ replace u with I… I was talking about myself. I can rdl heavier than a regular deadlift. Why would that be? Mind you I don’t do regular deadlifts I only do rdls and the other day I was like I’ll try a regular deadlift and the weight didn’t want to get off the floor lol I don’t understand

they all seemed like amateur's to me, apart from eugene.

He's the one doing the most gear so it makes sense
I really liked this _Fitness 100 Australia presented by Eugene Teo_ . Where can I watch episode 2, Netflix?
Bodybuilder dominating HRR was the most surprising to me; that is some impressive cardiovascular fitness with that level of muscle and strength

For me personally it kinda shows that you not necessary need to do "functional fitness" to stay functional.
@@acg1189 Great interpretation! I like this response

That bodybuilder has incredible all rounded capabilities.
1-3 min sprint sets? You aren't Sprinting for that long. Trust me. I was a sprinter lol
I thought the same lol. An average person wouldn't be able to hold a true sprint for longer than 10 seconds. He should've specified the speed.
@MR12AMAZING at university we used to do 100m sprints with 60secs rest in between. I threw up after 4 lol if I was running 3 mins I'd call it jogging
I believe he meant sprint>run>jog for 1-3min. Just max effort for that duration. It's lactic threshold training
Literally adore your content, especially lately, this was so much fun!
It confuses me a lot, why Eugene says that strongest athletes had the worst HRR score, while the strongest athlete, bodybuilder, had the best one?
Probably meant strong in a different way. Like the "strongest" endurance athletes. As in the best endurance athletes
I'm confused about the heart rate recovery section. He said that above 18 is good but he said that the heaviest athlete scored the worst. The heaviest athlete was 45, isn't that the best?
I noticed in the test chart at 16:55, shouldn't "MAX HEIGHT IN INCHES" & "MAX TIME @ BW" be swapped? Great vid nonetheless!
Need to monitor depth on the leg press, as it makes a huge difference
Zero diss, but I think balance and coordination is pivotal for a full athletic overview.
7:34 Bruh 2,5-3X BW is supposed to be Advanced and the guy who won the deadlift event by lifting 300kg or 2,5X BW barely makes it into advanced. The professional power lifter girl hit 2,4X BW is supposedly just intermediate. This estimate for how much you should pull is ass tbh.
hello hjalmar! 2,4X bodyweight is intermediate for man, but advanced for woman! You need to read the words! Happy to help sweetheart!
Some people his size are lifting +400kg, so yeah it's early advanced! Cute opinion though
@@VasardoPT Oh yeah, thanks! Missed female category. Although I do still feel I agree with my sentiment that the inteval for advanced is a little high.

Incredible video Eugene, really loved the tips/goals for each section
This is awesome dude. Keep testing your limits.
3:48 holy fuck xD
This video were well made, educational and so fun to watch..!!! Thanks for the masterpiece!
"They're playing chess... and i'm.... you guys know what I mean"

I still don'T
LET HIM COOK xddd

Dudes were having a hard time coping with your vertical lol that was wild
@ Most people forget I did a little athletics prior to lifting weights 😅👊
Just love the video! 😊 great job I’d love to see more videos like these one
Wow, the production value on this was so high I thought I was watching part of a longer documentary😮
One of your best videos, I really liked the style. It was fun and informative as always!!
This is a super cool idea! This gives me some great goals!
You got this bro
Aye! Thanks bro!
Jaxon is the tank, dps, AND support
Eugene, absolutely loved this concept! Small piece of feedback from a viewer experience: The audio distortion from the screaming made it hard to listen to at times.
Would be cool to see some more diverse athleticism shit added in, like agility drills or who can eat a tub of passion fruit flavoured yogurt fastest
I’ve started integrating Olympic lifts and am really loving it! I want to be able to dunk a ball as a secondary goal to hypertrophy
Loved this video - not only because it was cool to get so many different types of elite athletes together, but because they were Australian and therefore just generally more fun and laid back. Nice one. Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
This was so much fun to watch! Cheers from Argentina Eugene :)
Awesome video, Eugene!
Great content, and informative… love these!
Terrific Video! I love the extra info thrown in and of course the entertainment value.
This was so cool to see and I learned a lot from all the explanations
Tons of valuable insights in this video.
Love this channel!
How well rounded am I? Yeah, a bit too round😂
This is really good!
love this one, keep it up !
Ah yes, the classic aussie 'Kangaroo Jumps' 15:47 haha
This is great stuff, nice one
Amazing video, i learned alot
Feels like Eugene is just completely ignoring the results of the test so he can keep saying what he has pre-written down.

There should have been a normal fat guy take part in this as well.
The trousers in the gym always gets me
The fitness test chart is a bit off. Mixed up instructions for dead hang and vertical jump.
Damn your T's are fitting perfectly, if i may ask where do you buy those? As a short dude i always struggle to find T's which are not to long and still fit nicely at my chest and back
This is a really interesting video. Eugene is such a great explainer of things. 🎓
Great idea for content
Had a blast filming this video Eugene! The assault bike sprint was pure chaos… no backflip after that 💀
In the end we don't even get the results for everyone lmao
What kind of testing is this ?
50 seconds all out was nkt a good test. Seasoned runners and sprinters and swimmers know their pace for anything beyond 20 seconds most of the time. They don't just exhaust everything.
Make video like this again. This amazing video
In regards to the app what about combat sports programs?
jaxon is hugeee
Suprised that the bodybuilder won 4 out of 5 challenges. Who says bodybuilders arent athletic?
Please collab with Andy Galpin. He preaches this
1 min cardio was the hardest challenge he ever done in his life?? 10:18 ... Has he been in a relationship ever? 😭😂
EEEEEK! First 100. Yay! Love this coach!
7:17 im confused are you saying that if i weight 80kg and can 1RM 160kg on deadlift, I should do 80/160=0,5? isnt it the other way around?
Other way around
Ah unfortunate but you have a small misstake in the video. At 16:55 you show the sheet of the excercises and the test but you managed to mix up the test of the dead hang vs vertical jump.
EXCERCISE: TEST:

why does jaxon do a little tug before deadlifting?
Just my natural set up to get myself into the lift 🫡
As a 55 year old man who lifts weights and does cardio on a regular basis, I won't do a 1 rep max on anything. What would be a comparable goal for 5 reps or 10 reps?
Between 75% and 90% of 1 rep max. That's typically where 5-10 rep maxes are.
Seemed like many people didn't want their scores being shown. I guess it was a matter of consent or something. It's impressive to see our bodybuilder buddy getting such high results, I also figure the dead hang was one he knew wasn't gonna go well
Neat. 👍
Big dog is on so much gear it’s crazy ☠️
this video was very nice. would be better if Eugene also participated
Thanks
Can you do this with age factored? Thanks
Is there a way to do high intensity cardio except running? I walk at least 10k every day but and am pretty fit but i wanna do some intense cardio just for the heck of it
There a lot of alternatives- from cardio machine in the gym to swimming. You dont have to run to improve ur fitness. I like to use kettlebells also
How do i know what bodytype i am for Deadlift? Iam Stuck at 160kg at a bodyweight of 95kg with a height at 173 cm 😮
Imagine if he got some actual footy and rugby players. People dont know how competitive it is in Australia

their instagram is in description
Why aren't they going very deep on the leg press @6:28
a better test for cardio / pulmonary fitness would have been a either a timed distance to run, cycle or row or an equivalent to the coopers run test imo
16:55, dead hang and vertical jumps results are reversed
Should have had a calisthenics athlete there in the mix as well
What no Bioneer…almost great at all of this!
How df is it possible to do 3 cardio session combined with 4 weight training sessions and a normal life? 😅
I don't actually know what Arthut meant
🤣🤣
If BW ratio is valid for strength tests, why doesn't it come into account the other way round in deadhangs?
It's the exact same logic, each person is deadhanging with their own weight
What I learned today: steroids really do make you better at everything. Gotta love big guy though he really showed up!

Bro why can u RDL heavier than a regular deadlift? Hip problem? lol. Weak hips ? Idk. It’s so weird
That wasn’t my 1 rep max! I was saving myself for the huge test session ahead 😅
@ replace u with I… I was talking about myself. I can rdl heavier than a regular deadlift. Why would that be? Mind you I don’t do regular deadlifts I only do rdls and the other day I was like I’ll try a regular deadlift and the weight didn’t want to get off the floor lol I don’t understand
