- It is finally here! The 3rd episode of our IRONMAN journey. Our coach told us that we absolutely had to do a training camp before our full IRONMAN to be fully prepared. And that's exactly what we did. We went to Club La Santa in Lanzarote for 5 days aka the triathlon mecca for everybody who loves to suffer in style. This video contains advertisements for the brands "Castelli" and "6D Sports Nutrition".

If your legs are tired, your feet hurt an you feel like giving up. Remember you paid to do this 😅

"Swim like nobody's watching, bike like you stole it, run like you've already won." Good luck guys 👊 Your journey is the best inspiration!

Hello Has, you have inspired us deeply with this inspirational lifechanging quote. Please react below with your instagram handle or email so I can send this sexy borat suit your way.
Fk vet ❤ bashemeltjen12
@HasBemeltjen Reminder to reply to Rob to get the incredible suit
I really love how you guys are always asking how the other person is, it really shows how much you care for each other.
Well they are brothers tbf
The most inspiring to see isn't the progression but is the love between the two brothers growing.
Crazy to see Arnos body progress in this video compared to the first part of the ironman series, hugely inspirational! Keep it up!
“You can keep going and your legs might hurt for a week or you can quit and your mind will hurt for a lifetime.” - Mark Allen (Ironman)
'If you ever feel like trash, remember: it's garbage can, not garbage can't...' Good luck guys, amazing journey and huge respect to the both of you!
the dedication is real. Arno is a fucking inspiration and his progress is showing like crazy in the last couple videos. much love from Canada and keep at it friends.
When it feels impossible and you almost want to quit, you realize why this journey you're on is so special and why you do it in the first place. It's to put it on strava.
These guys deserve 1million subs more than anybody on this planet, the amount of time and Energy they put in these vids is insane
Keep it up guys!!
Couldn’t agree more. I look forward to their videos very much
Yessir! Doing the most and all for good health and us to watch. Bless up to these dudes!
And they make 0 money off these videos, these guys are legends
@@tristanlwkns why do they not make any money? And how would they get by in life without any money coming in?
@@maxxverstappenn8367 They use copyrighted music in the videos. Probably not all of them are copyrighted but I'd guess most of them.
They have other incomes like merch and Rob is a MC too
Very touched by your dedication to eachother. “How is Arno doing? And how is Rob doing?” At the end of each loop you check up on each other! That being said: “Succes is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.”
I have watched this Ironman series atleast 10 times and I have now singed up for the Ironman Barcelona in October thanks to you guys,
Big motivation
Love it bro, best of luck for your prep & race!!
"When you're competing in an Iron Man with your brother, it'll feel like half the effort."
It's so wholesome to see how you guys always ask Milan how the other one is doing. Keep up the good work, you guys are going to crush it!!
“When you are in the water you are a swimmer. When you are pedaling, you are a cyclist. When you are running, you are a runner. When you cross the finish line you are a Triathlete.” Bedankt voor weer een fantastische video!
Dayum - (in Arno's voice)
“You can keep going and your legs might hurt for a week or you can quit and your mind will hurt for a lifetime.” Wish you all the best guys, really inspiring and funny to watch! I believe you will make it through.
this is really really good.
"An Ironman is like a fart in a wetsuit, in the beginning you are scared but at the end you are proud that you've tried" - An Ironman winner
"Endurance is not just physical; it's the ability to keep going when your body, mind, and spirit are begging you to stop." Keep it going guys !
It's so cute how they check in on each other. "How was Arno?" "How was rob?" Whenever they see the camera guy
"Believe in yourself. Because the rest of us are too busy trying to find the TV remote."
U guys are crushing it! Keep up the good work!
I don't think you realize yet how motivating your videos are. Thanks for everything, you're going to make it
“Don’t climb the mountain for others to see you, climb the mountain for you to see the world.”
Good luck guys, you guys are a huge inspiritation for everyone. You guys can do it.
to be honest, i consume a lot of youtube but i rarely do like or comment,
however i find it not only laughter on this channel but also motivation when i see your guys videos. i discovered you by accident and i can proudly say that you guys are my fave content creators.
everytime i see a video and see how much you enjoy yourself and the commitment you guys put into everything you guys do i feel like i can do it too.
hopefully the way you guys motivate me would also motivate you into this challenge, so keep it up and allez allez
Proost
Amazing progression from both of you, driven by an incredible amount of positivity and humor!
"If something is hard, that means it is possible"
Just you guys being you has motivated me to start doing more, to move, to try new things and to live life as it should be. Thank you guys for making me a better person and for pushing me to keep going. You 2 are the best motivation there is ! 💪Go get it !
Pain is temporary, but koffiekoeken and americain preparé are forever. Very impressed by your dedication. Showing up and training everyday is the hard part. The Iron man itself is the icing on the cake. You can do it guys!
At one point I got emotional when you guys kept asking about each other. I think other than for yourself, do it for each other. That's all the motivation you need. Groetjes vanuit Antwerpen
You guys are absolutely insane! Incredible performance by both, regardless of the outcome of the ironman! Wish you both the best of luck with your ironman. We all believe in you guys and look forward to the video with your results! You got this!!!
You guys are legends. Dedication, discipline and hard work but you keep smiling. It's inspirational!
My favourite quote is definitely: “you need to decide what you would rather want: the pain of discipline, or the pain of regret.” As this will be the first Triathlon season ever, im sharing this journey with you! Kom aan gasten!!
Love this series, keep it up lads
'The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.' It goes so well with you 2 broters because you keep getting motivation out of eachother. It's so beautiful to see. I hope these guys are going to crush the ironman. Much of luck!
‘Everything is hard before it is easy’. Good luck guys! You’ve both come so far and you’ll keep going 🔥
Ik ben echt verbaasd hoe Arno het doet, zelfs met een lichaam dat niet 100% is shape is zoals Rob, heeft hij een conditie waar heel weinig mensen tegenop kunnen en van dromen. Jullie gaan dit gewoon echt knallen en zo mooi om te zien dat jullie dit kunnen doen als broeders, en mooi hoe jullie om elkaar geven en elkaar motiveren en blijven doorgaan. Ik wens jullie heel veel succes :)
It is amazing to see how well you guys are doing and how supportive you are of eachother. It's clear how serious you guys are taking this and it's incredibly inspiring. Belgium is proud to have you.
"Those who don't try will never win, and those who always try already won."
Subscribed! I love the good vibes and the brotherhood we see in each one of your videos!
“You just can’t beat the person who never gives in”
Loving this guys! More power to you. I’m a week out from my first 70.3, you are both killing this, but major kudos to Arno, keep going! ‘Pain is temporary, glory is forever!’
Arno and Rob, as you stand on the precipice of your first Iron Man, remember that greatness lies not in the absence of struggles, but in the resilience to rise above them. The countless hours of training, the sweat, the tears, and the moments of doubt have shaped you into warriors of unwavering determination. Now is the time to unleash the fire within and conquer the challenges that lie ahead.
In this grueling test of body and spirit, know that you are not alone. The bond between brothers is a force that knows no limits. When fatigue threatens to engulf your weary souls, draw strength from each other's unwavering support and unwavering presence. Your journey is not just a testament to your individual strength but a testament to the power of brotherhood.
The Iron Man is not a race against others; it is a battle against self-doubt and the will to push beyond your perceived limitations. Embrace the pain, for it is a gateway to transformation. Embrace the obstacles, for they are stepping stones to greatness. Remember, the most extraordinary victories are born from the crucible of adversity.
As you dive into the depths of your iron will and summon the resilience that resides within, know that your names shall be etched in the annals of triumph. Arno and Rob, you are poised to become legends of perseverance and inspiration. Embrace this moment, embrace the challenge, and let the echoes of your efforts reverberate through the hearts of all who witness your unfaltering spirit.
Go forth, brothers, and let the Iron Man bear witness to the indomitable force that resides within you. May the strength of your bodies, the fire in your hearts, and the unwavering bond between you carry you to heights you never thought possible. This is your time to shine, Arno and Rob, and may your legacy inspire others to unleash their own greatness.
« Don’t settle for average, you were made for greatness »
Rob, Arno and Milan, you guys are the best, have yourself a blast in Klagenfurt 💪🏻
Always makes my week watching your videos man, such positive energy and motivation with these Ironman videos. I’m a footballer so your videos push me to strive being better, so thank you! I need this suit so imma do two for you guys that I always think about before my matches, but when you say them to yourself you really have to feel it, it’ll get you fired up. 1. A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory. 2. Pain is temporary, quitting last forever.
Fantastisch om te zien hoe een lichaam kan veranderen als er in het hoofd de juiste mindset en dedication zit. Veel succes gasten, kijk al uit naar de aflevering.
“Don’t climb the mountain for others to see you, climb the mountain for you to see the world.” Good luck guys, epic series!!
Opportunities don't happen, you create them! Keep on training boys!
Good luck with the Ironman!
You guys can do this, you trained and worked so hard. It's time to show the work 🖤💛❤
Best of luck you guys! Not only did you create amazing content the last couple of months regarding the Ironman. You have been doing it since the very first videos and in my opinion this can be an absolute highlight for all the effort you have been doing the last couple of years. You both did not only give me some big ass laughs, you've also motivated me to set goals myself and push myself to be dedicated. I believe in both of you guys, tomorrow mets la patate! 🤞💥
You guys are great!! Loving watching your journey!
2 jaar geleden woog ik 159 kg, op karakter en met een doel voor ogen viel ik 73 kg af zonder operatie! Vorig jaar reed ik de Stoneman Arduenna als kers op de taart. Bij aankomst kon ik overgeven waar ik stopte, maar de trots op wat ik bereikt had was met niets te vergelijken! Als je iets wil, kan je het! Veel succes boy’s, jullie kunnen dit!! 💪🏻
Amazing how they just keep asking how the other one is doing. It's really cool to deze the love and friendship with these three ❤
Beautiful video! Really enjoying the Ironman-content :) Also I just have to say big props to Milan, the videos always look amazing, such a great run and gun filmmaker! Editing and grading is super impressive as well, im a total beginner but its really inspiring tbh!
I am very inspired by your passion, motivation and dedication. I am a sportive person and I am doing also triathlon. Unfurtunately I had a bad accident last year and I am still suffering from injuries but seeing you never giving up and getting up every day with a smile in order to reach the target impresses me. I wish you all the best for your mission and always keep in mind - the will must be stronger than the skill and giving up is never an option. May the force be with you - along the whole 226 km you have to go :)
“You’re not a product of circumstances. You’re a product of your decisions.”
Epic to see you brothers go to through this process together, cheering you on June 18th!
"I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done" This quote really forced me to finish all my marathons prep this winter and I hop it can inspire you like it did to me. Good luck for your Ironman guys huge challenge. Thanks for the video too it was super nice and got me wanting to go on a training camp too haha
Best of luck and have fun !
"Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain" very grateful for the videos you are a big inspiration. Going to attend my first triathlon in 1 month.
“If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you’ve won your race.”
I think this is the most important/beautiful part of triathlon.
great job guys!
"Ride like a butterfly, swim like a bee and run like mum is calling you for dinner" Keep up the husel! You both are legends!
'Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things. It's called garbage can, not garbage cannot.'
Goed bezig mannen! Heerlijke video weer. 🤩 Heel veel succes & plezier!
this is fire!!!
“I tri therefore I am”
Very inspirational how you guys are dedicated to this challenge. You make me want to get out of the couch and start tri-ing ❤
“Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard.”
Amazing job, you guys! Very inspirational!
"The miracle isn’t to finish. The miracle is to have the courage to start"
Your channel is a gem to watch. Much love / veel liefde!
I’ve gotta say, I’ve been through a lot in my life and I’ve been training for an iron man for a while. Nothing else compares to the consistency you have to have each and every day. Watching you guys go through it smiling and cheering each other on without a trace of ego or bitterness truly inspires me. I can’t wait to see what you guys accomplish during the iron man. Lastly, I gotta add on a taccy inspirational quote: pain is weakness leaving the body brothers.
This is the best series! I can't wait to watch ironman but I wish we could see more of your journey you have both smashed it! X
So great seeing you both encourage each other to be better and have fun doing it! Best of luck with the Ironman 💪
Hi fellow triathlon men, athletes and followers of this channel
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. On the 10th day of January we embark on a journey, a operation more severe than D-Day, battle of Morannon, Battle of stalingrad, pvp in the wildernis etc. Many people have tried and quit their hopes on finishing an Ironman... BUT, NOT US. WE ARE STRONG and we will make it past the last weeks of training. It wont be easy, it will be long and hard. But I believe in you guys, I believe that you wont give in to temptation to give up in these final training sessions. The finish line is there, vol-au-vent ll be there as well as the pride of your whole community
They didn't believe in you, but me, this family and God did. "You either win with us or watch us win". "Not all dreamers are winners, but all winners are dreamers. Your dream is the key to your future."

I ll send you guys my 99 prayer to succesfully finish this tough Quest. Soon the time of the empire of disbelievers ll be over. “Success isn't always about 'Greatness', it's about consistency. Consistent, hard work gains success. Greatness will come and the Ironmen ll be eaten like you do with a broodje american” Remember 92 is half of 99, your work is not done yet... So be brave my soldiers, rise your shields, get in the water, put on your shoes, jump on that fucking bike, pretend there is no pain, no wind and don't let your lazy brain win. Remember friends, there’s always a choice! We shall never surrender! With the guidance of Frederik and Luc you already did some incredible things. Let's make them proud and show them that you, the pupils ll become the new masters in Ironman-town. You and I, gentlemen (training myself) are sharing the labour, the mindset and the danger, therefore the rewards will be all for us all!!! Let's fuck this Ironman!!!!!
(Please share the new song you receive by finishing this Quest)
P.S. Since I ve lately been followed by a butt-hole-police-officer I could use this borat outfit to mislead them and protect my own booty.
Sending you positive Energy,
Kind Regards,
Mathias
Impeccable text ❤❤❤
Positive energy received

You're the best ! A lot of inspiration and motivation.
Nice to see your training for this hard challenge, good Luck guys !
"Don't wait until you've reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal." - Good luck! Love these videos! 🔥 You guys should be proud of how far you've already come and I can't wait to see the next video!!

Milan is on fire with this great filming! I love the quality and the materials! Good luck Arno and Rob!
Waanzinnig gastjes! Het allermooiste in deze episode en moraal van heel de triathlon is niet dat jullie het zo ongeloof goed doen, maar de bromance. Steeds zien hoe het met de copain gaat, de manier waarop jullie elkaar versterken is ongekend! Be proud wat jullie tot nu toe al hebben bereikt, maar we weten allemaal dat dit voor jullie gasten niet het einddoel is. Binnen paar weken staat het moment daar, maanden getraind, op jullie voeding gelet, maar vooral gedaan wat jullie graag doen. Ons hoef je niet trots te maken, maar knal de triathlon voor jullie zelf & vooral voor de bromance! Buiten de bromance ook ongekend wat Milan doet. Hij heeft jullie proud gemaakt met zijn ultraloop, tijd om het wederzijds te knallen! All the love, all the fk power
“Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.” ;)
Amazing series guys, normally I wouldn't sit for a 35min+ episode, but these ones always fly by. Good luck on your final weeks of training and the Ironman!
"To the brave and the faithful, nothing is impossible"
This has been a great series guys, well done!
Best of luck with the Iron man!
When who feel hurt or unmotivated remember someone is somewhere begging and pleading to be in the position you both are right now. Embrace the pain cave. Y’all are genuine and kind very amazing change of pace.
"Never say never. Because limits, like fears, are often just illusions."
Dear Rob and Arno,
Congratulations on the Iron Man prep! Mad respect for what you guys have done in the past six months. Never seen anyone, let alone two people, be so entertaining and inspiring at the same time. I hope you know you're doing something truly special and realize that you're helping so many people. I'm confident you both will make it in a couple weeks' time.
I'm also training for a triathlon right now (quarter distance in Knokke in September) and if a win the shirt, I PROMISE I will wear it during the race (and will provide you with photographic evidence). Best of luck legends!

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen” You guys will absolutely slay it. Keep them comming! Great succes!
the best thing about this adventure is seeing that you are more satisfied with your partner's success than with your own. That's true friendship demonstrated in this unique adventure. “Nobody said it was easy…”
Thanks for great content! 👑
Your Ironman content is such inspirational for my own journey to ironman 70.3 this summer! 🤩
Just started out from zero fitness and will document every week on the road!
"Boys become men when they learn how to suffer. But when they learn how to break through the suffering, they become Iron Man."
Arno and Rob
Your journey is phenomenal. The way you guys let us join your adventure by filming the achievements and struggles is amazing. This has been my favourite series on TH-cam in a long time. The way you two care for eachother and are curious about the experience of the other is wholesome. I think many brothers and sisters can learn from you guys how to help eachother become a better version of themself. Keep on supporting eachother.
Good luck with the Iron Man guys. You have 300k people behind you!
Love that Quote.
As a fellow triathlete 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️my inspirational quote is: "When you feel week think about the journey, you didn't train and sacrifice so much just to give up. This is where you choose to be a daddy or a ZADDY."💪🔥(Nice vid)
Watching you guys is just Inspiration at its finest i wish you the best of luck for the ironman no doubt that you guys will do it ❤
“Opportunities don't happen, you create them.”
This is the most inspiring thing I have seen in my life really, I follow you since your more ''joking'' and fun adventures video, training this hard for an Ironman alongside your brother and the huge progress and dedication you put into it is so amazing, I see the same rush of pride and satisfaction in your faces it always gave me, pushing the body and the mind beyond the limits, and seeing that progress is possible, love you guys, can't wait to watch the following video ❤
Once AverageRob, now IronRob we see,
Transformed and ready, a new identity!
Arno, his brother, by his side,
Together they conquer, with strength and stride!
From average beginnings, they rise up high,
Embracing the challenge, reaching for the sky!
Laughs fuel their journey, with every step,
From couches to Iron Man, their limits they'll test!
Arno, the partner, a bond so strong,
Supporting each other, they can't go wrong!
With laughter as armor, they'll tackle the race,
IronRob and Arno, leaving their trace!
Go get it!
WOHOOOOO CANT WAIT ROB AND ARNOLD
Arno it is
Loved the series! Never commented your videos, but i feel like i really want to wish you guys good luck! And i hope all goes smoth for the duo! YOU GOT THIS! 💪❤️🔥
Much love from Portugal
You guys have motivated me to start training for a 70.3 Ironman. I’ve been on the fence my whole life, thanks for providing me the motivation! Hope that motivates you for your race! Go kill it! You guys are rockstars!
Your body can handle anything, it's your mind you have to convince...
And I see you two did that already, a lot of success for Klagenfurt! You both made incredible progress! Letsgo 'Above Average Rob and Arno'!
Love this series. Absolutely love it. Most of these stories seem to end with people not training as much as they should; excuses; small injuries or just a general lack of motivation, but you guys seem genuinely happy with everything you've achieved so far, absolutely wonderful. Keep this up and then enjoy the race! We'll be enjoying it a week later when Milan finishes editing ;)
You can do it! You are amazing! Love you guys!
« Discipline is the brigde between goals and achievement » thank’s for your videos is amazing
„Hard work beats talent“ you two guys are the best examples and a huge inspiration. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
Thank you guys very much for all the efforts that you are making to share this journey with us, it really shows!!
Be proud of all that you have accomplished so far and take comfort in realizing that you have deeply inspired a great number of people. Enjoy the race 🙂 !
This serie is amazing!
I cannot express how much I love to watch you guys. Especially in this video, you guys were constantly checking in on one another, supporting each other, and generally just being the best type of brothers you could be. For the inspirational quote, either of these two:
"On ne change pas une équipe qui gagne/you don't change a team that is winning."
or
"Vous n'êtes pas encore arrivés mais vous êtes plus proche qu'hier/you haven't arrived yet, but you are closer than yesterday."
You guys motivated me to start training for a marathon, so here's me two months in thanking you guys and motivating you!! I love you, I know you're gonna do it!!
Winners never quit and quitters never win. The way you guys are training, you are definitely winners. So no matter how hard it gets, just keep pushing.
The best motivational quote is coincidentally also one from Borat: "When you chase a dream, especially one with plastic chests, you sometimes do not see what is right in front of you." What you guys have achieved so far in the whole series is amazing. Keep up the good work!!
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."
Good luck guys!! Inspirational stuff!
"Those who dare to go too far, know how far they can go."
Incredible job both of you and I can't wait for you guys to SMASH THIS :)
YOU DID IT 🎉🎉🎉 UNBELIEVABLE ( I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING) CONGRATS GUYS!!!
“Your body can stand almost anything. It’s your mind that you have to convince.”
good luck guys, love ur vids🫶🫶
"Dont prove them wrong , prove yourself right" always in my head when training. Love the content.
