EASY MONEY!! How much weight would you ask me to put on the bar for you?
Hello sir I am a big fan of yours. I wanted your WhatsApp number. Please give it to me. I would like to contact you. I am a Bangladeshi citizen.
300
No warmup 185 or 135
365
Seeing as I'm twelve but pretty strong 70 at most
Why can’t I see shit like this when I’m out and about lmaoooo
Right!? I’d be like, let’s rack 340lbs.
Honestly I’d have the max for the day at 14 like damn why can’t I live in Eugene
lol
Right!!! I can do 340 for reps! Can I get $340 for each rep 😃😃😃💪💪💪
ikr 45 dollars here I come!
Every power lifter wishes nick pulls up to their community
Right lol, I've always wished I'd run across a challenge like this.
With no warmup I wouldn't want to go anywhere near competition numbers... but I'd still walk away with a significant chunk of his 1k
With no warmup you should easily be within 10-15% of comp numbers for a 1RM. Besides no one said no push ups or whatnot on the side while you wait
@@swiftgarcia7 that’s exactly what I was thinking. I would’ve been doing some push ups to get loose.
With no warm up most powerlifters could easily go 340 unless they suck.
this videos puts me and all the guys I know at my gym into perspective. I always forget that most people can’t do 225 for reps
Yea I agree, my bench is like above average not elite but in comparison to the average person it’s quite high at like 245-250
@@6idangle yea most are pretty content and very functional at even just 135. Think it’s like a very small % I think the world can actually bench 225
Most adults I know can barely bench 135, I’m 15 and bench 255 in a gym full of strong people, 1 guy does 8 sets with 405! Its kind of a shock seeing how strong the real world outside our gym really is.
@@misfiringpistons im 15 and can only bench press 100😭 i barely started working out like 3 weeks ago so ig thats a start
@@lowkeysuck Man we all gonna get there, I started with maybe an 85 bench max. We all gunna get the brah!
Respect to that 65 year old man, willing to try new stuff and he was so happy 😁
Grateful too 🖤
Yeah bro
He looked very poor, possibly homeless. I was so happy for him
Yup. Happy for him.
@@therealbeedubbs35 you look homeless im happy for you
It's all fun and games untill Julius Maddox finds out about this
Julius Maddox goes to my gym!!
Back guy u could probably take all his money 😂😂
Story twist: He brings all his friends with him.
He hasnt enough weights with him.
Overrated. He missed 790 on Larry Wheel's vid. I can do 790 with one arm tied behind someone else's back. 😛 😝 😜 🤪
Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.
This just made me feel really good about benching 260. I feel really weak cause i cant hit 3 plates like the big boys, but when its put into perspective of normal people it makes me feel really good about myself and my accomplishments.
My 1rm is 235 (148bw), but I would probably only do 200 to be safe and no warmup
anything above two plates is insane but thats just what i think
You’ll get there one day buddy keep grinding 🫡
anything above bodyweight is crazy so don't be down on yourself just keep grinding!
Dude, comparison is the thief of joy. Lift for yourself, not others.
@4:23 whoa Alani got those Yams in that walk….!🤪🔥🥰
real
@@jpppeoh yeah… real yams!!!👌🏾💎♦️🔥
@@thomasharris5151 2 years ago 💀bro came back from the dead 😭
"since i don't lift at all, I'll attempt to cold bench 120% of my body weight" smart guy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Didnt even choose the shoes smh
I don't have muscles but Jesus Christ i have a big brain
PS: I have a duck video... Also a patreon
If you never benched before i could see how you misjudge this with "i can do 10 pushups so this should be easy"
Dude wouldve struggled with 80
@@leastbrute4836 i feel like he didn’t choose the shoes bcuz he lied about following on instagram
If a guy named Castleberry shows up.... don't let him use his own weights.
hahahahahahaahahahahha $20,000 pounds
Oh man I'm still laughing.
🤣
bro that's too good 😂😂😭
I totally spit my drink when i read this.
Nick- "Easiest $100 you've ever made."
Person- " No it isn't, one time I was featured in a Mr.Beast video."
what a motivator to get people to realize their potential is more than they expect!
Imagine being there and all of a sudden you hear a voice approaching from down the street: *"LIGHT WEIGHT BAAABYYYY!!"*
Pack up and run!
“NUN BUT A PEANUTTTT!!!!”
TIME TO BLEEEEED!!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BE A BODYBUILDER BUT NOBODY WANNA LIFT HEAVY ASS WEIGHT. ILL DO IT THOUGH!!!!
😳
YEAH BUDDYYY!!!
Watching Eric feel grateful for that cash and give you the hug warmed my heart :)
Eric was GREAT!! He went out and bought a hat + some groceries with the money. Came right back to thank me again.
@@nicksymmonds why didn’t you have that in the vid?
@@pkdarts maybe it was more personal you never know
@@pkdarts thatd be rude
@@nicksymmonds Man Eric was really a great guy indeed
4:24 - damn shawty double cheek caked up
I like your energy man, keep up with the videos.
“This community is way too fit” after the most unathletic people in town just rolled up
and "im all outta cash" when hes holding like 4000 more
Felt bad for Nick people were just taking advantage of him for free money instead of a video idea of trying to go for a good weight.Video gave $320 to homeless people. Nick should of started it out at 140 pound minimum, but it would take out a lot of girls. In this video maybe 3 people could of done 140 pounds besides the cameraman.
@@Stamps600 Yeah 135 should’ve been minimum. A lot of girls who bench normally can hit a plate. It would make people do better weight than 60lbs
@@Stamps600 which is pretty sad
@@Stamps600 Should've just started at their body weight. Give the girls a better chance.
Cool stuff. Nice to see you get people excited about bench pressing and fitness in general.
I was a freshman 2 years ago when i watched this lowest point in my life, and I came back to this video and its crazy how time has passed and been doing calisthenics since I watched this video and just got into weightlifting for a month and I can bench 225. So Thankyou for this MOTIVATION i hope u come back bro.
Shawty came out that food truck with a premium package I wasn’t expecting lol
When she asks what I wanna eat, you already know the answer
@@james2155 lmao
She can only lift her ass.
Came from my Xbox to my phone just to mike this comment
I thought I was tweaking
I've never felt so strong. I could be the king of Eugene.
hey harvey..
Rightt
th-cam.com/video/cRapqjV2JLw/w-d-xo.html
Right 😂
I think we all could
4:26 Olani got entire bakeries behind her 🍰
4:24 SHAWTY GOT THE WHOLE BAKERY BROOO!!
Saying "I'm out of cash"
with a stack another 10k in his hand lol.
Eric was so happy you could tell he needed the money God bless him
for alcohol ..
For drugs

@@TheMateuszek19 awful awful youre all awful
everybody gotta eat
Love this series! Shows how fun fitness can be
Love this guy. He's so motivational and always pushes people and I love how he gets the younger crowd into it as well!
Those bankers are actually pretty strong!
For a female yes
I mean 100lb isnt that much. But thoses girls are inshape for sure
@@lapizza7175 for girls its good. Most girls just do like 20-30kg bench. Some advanced girls 40-60kg. And the mooore advanced 60-120kg 🥴
@@mxz2024 yeah but theses are kilo. Here, we talk about pounds. So 100lb is around 45kg. But my old gym coach was able to bench press 200lb and deadlift over 400lb. She was really strong
@@lapizza7175 i know man. Thats why I said 100 pounds is really good and mentioned the ranges👌but for 1 rep max. it is not thst good anymore
Buut considering no warmup and that they pressed it with ease... 100 pounds is advanced for sure.
I press 60-70kg for reps at the moment. Did not test my max but I think I could so 85+kg 1 Rep. Maybe even 90+
“It’s an energy gum but in drink form” 💀💀💀
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine though…
In a few years once Run Gum gets big, this is how people are going to describe Red Bull
Sounds like the next great thing.
got slightly flustered there ...
4:23 Well done camera man✅️
Idk why but I just smile the entire time I watch any of your videos.
Thank you for allowing the folks that clearly really needed the money to participate.
Ditto......two of the guys definitely needed the cash.
Yeah the bankers really need the money...
@@cloroxbleach8469 I mean, it's not because you're a banker that you're rich
@@cloroxbleach8469 Working as a bank teller isnt that profitable lol
Should've asked people how much they can bench. Then when they say the weight, you reveal the bench press and see if they're telling the truth or not, pay them if they are.
Genius. Nick you should do this
Yeah but no warmup makes that a lot harder. And people say their PR. It’s not easy to hit your PR.
@@jakev0895 yes, but he’ll certainly save some money lol. They say “uhh, probably about 315” and he says “ok, we have a bench press around the corner and will give you $315 if you can hit it” will likely save the guy money, and embarrass Mr. Ego
@@DanRichter it’s not about ego. With a proper warmup and my wrist wraps I could probably hit over 225. Without those things idek if I could hit 200. I normally rep 200.
100%
I'm binging these videos right now and think this one is by far the best. For most of the challenge videos, the vast majority of participants are people who work out regularly and lift at least to some degree. This video is the only one I've seen that's actually an accurate representation of what the generation population is capable of.
for being nice to that guy and giving him some shoes you just gained a sub
4:22 Olani forgot the candles for that cake
😂😂😂
Ykr!!!!!
We need instagram!
The banker Takia was holding too
Lmao stfu 😂
I respect that fact you brought it to the people, a lot of people overlook the difficulties of training and gyming serious , most think it’s as simple as just showing up but quickly find out it’s much more to it.

Keep going bro ❤️🔥u putting smile on people's faces
one of the best videos that i enjoyed watching
4:20 Props to the cameramen, what a trooper. 😎

Not all heroes wear capes
This positive experience right here will ignite in a few of these folks a spark to hit the gym or start working out in their homes to be in better shape. Kudos to you bud for putting up this kind of content.
I agree. I'm new to the channel but I'm subscribing. GREAT CONTENT.
Yes I just subscribed now ready to go to gym 🙄😂😂
This creator is so smart. He got two things that alot of people love. Gym and Money. A recipe for success!
that old man is so cute too he did it so proud omg heartwarming lovein the world
That one dude wasn't convulsing, he was making sure his shoulder blades were tight. and his form carried him to 160 bones.
It was a joke bud
8:33 "i want a kid. someone under the age of 18" that out of context is gold 😭
I was just about to comment the same thing 😆
That is Joe Biden motto
Man, it would make my day to come across him doing this.
This guy is a genius. What a great way to promote your channel.
“I’m outa cash” literally has like 200 more bucks in hands
He didn't have the 340 to cover it if someone did it.
"You lift every day right?"
"Yeah, every day that doesn't end in a Y"
That was actually pretty funny 😂
lol
lol
Didn’t get it
@@tyrone693 Everyday ends in a Y, for example mondaY, sundaY,SaturdaY. so him saying he works out in days that don't end with a Y means he doesn't work out at all lol

Really nice content bro keep doing amazing stuff 💥❤️
Actually makes me feel good about myself watching this I’m 15 and have being going to the gym for around 6 and a half months and my max is almost 150 pounds so looking at how people who don’t go to the gym do makes me happy that I’m making progress
Congrats! I wish I started caring about my fitness at 15
nice, im 14 and my max bench is 125

Erik with the old man strength. Good to see him make the lift.
That one girl couldn’t even lift 60 pounds hahahhha pathetic lmao
@@josuebrown6001 Bro dont make fun of people for that everyone's different
@@josuebrown6001 dude, she probably didn't go to the gym for most of her life, so she probably can't bench it properly, plus she isn't used to he small weights. When I was 17, and weighted around less than 60 kg which I believe is 129-130 pounds, I barely even benched 90 pounds so don't laugh about people being "weaker"
@@josuebrown6001 youre right she cant, she most likely invested her time into something she found more important and is way better at those things than bench, get off her case bro

Gotta say Nick was so friendly and kind to everyone. Really made this a nice video.

Camera man knew too 😩
@@KeyvonTruth her friend smacked it earlier.
@@sharifbrown3567 can you tell me the time stamp when she did it ?
That 65yr old homeless guy was so grateful. You could see the gratitude dropping off him. A nice moment.
My testosterone level dropped when I heard she can deadlift 330lbs. She is a beast
Also seems like a bit of a suspect figure when they're in the 120-130lbs bench range. Granted upper and lower body strength does tend to occur in a different ratio in women than men, but...
She was most likely cappin but ofc we’ll never know
there's absolutely no way
Her grip must tight af

First time i came across this channel, Nick seems like a really nice, genuine guy! I guess i’m now in the running for a pair of shoes because i’m now a follower :)
you´re a huge gym motivation spreader to me. I´ve been hitting the gym consistent the past 4 months and now i can bench press 60kg/132lb at 14 years old. Wish i got my 132 dollars hahaha!
I normally hate these type of videos but this was really cool and inspiring. Not only did you help people but you encouraged people to maybe start lifting. Good job.
I found your channel today challenges are awesome!!
Good job, Nick. I like that contact with people.
This is one of my favorite videos! Can I do it when I'm in town next week??
If Nick is handing out green so easily, I'm figuring Run Gum must be doing pretty well. LOL Just call Nick as Mr. Lotto
Wassup aj
No AJ you can't. He said 60lb is lowest he'll go
@@imjusthomas ouch
Aj are you saved?
If he does deadlift then he's gonna need to bring at least 4k lol

Or make it 0.50 for every pound instead
I’d put some rules on it… conventional only, both over hand grip. It’d be game over reverse grip.
fatbar
@@andrewlamoureaux4382 ppl would just hook grip you’d probably have to specify that’s illegal too

Didn’t she fail tho?
@@yehiasvlogs281 yeah, I’m not sure if you understand what I’m saying. Sometimes people say “I cant!” prematurely, and they’re not used to pushing themselves out of that comfort zone… maybe you’re familiar with “a person who says they can and a person who say they can’t are both right?” Basically she psyched herself out, then failed.

That what one of the most wholesome and positive interactions with community I've seen from an athlete, a great way to boost self esteem in people and encourage them to engage in health activities.
God bless you.
This puts into perspective when us regular lifters compare ourselves to to the elite how proud we should be of ourselves.
My bench is like 250 at 190 which is pretty meh but I’m proud of it!
Everyone is on their own strength journey and lift for fun and and for
You not for your ego!
It does really put into perspective how good your progressing and how we feel weak compared to what we see online. After scrolling through insta you feel incredibly weak in comparison but to the average person you are actually pretty strong. I've only been lifting for 4 months but I can do 140 for 7 reps which feels great
that's solid my man
yea it's interesting how perspective changes how you view your current fitness level. im right at 170lbs and bench around 200. it's never been something im especially proud of but when you realize that you're still putting up more weight than 80-90% of people, you do start to be a little bit more proud.
The whole point of those instagram posts is to feel empowered lol. I feel I wouldn't do too well on this but I still feel proud being able to do 180 at 123.
yep except that woman who clearly never worked out in her life. Flabby butt, arm flab of some 60 year old woman already
That "Energy Gum in a Drink Form" Got me 😅🤭😁
