Today we have U.S. Marines going up against fitness influencers in a series of fitness
events designed to test their strength, speed, and mental fortitude.
Each event is worth 3 points, and at the end of this video, the team with the most points
will reign supreme.
Marines!
Best of luck to you.
First event.
Drag race.
Y'all's goal?
Touch the edge of the circle.
3, 2, 1.
Woah, woah, woah.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
They have boots on.
That's not fair.
Oh, that's right.
Marines gotta change.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You'll go on me.
3, 2, 1.
Pull.
Let's go.
Move your feet.
Let's go.
The goal is to make it to the other side of the circle.
Surface area is your friend.
There you go.
Just keep going.
Taking a strong lead.
B.J. takes it.
1 point for the fitness influencers.
2, 1.
Go.
Oh, both gentlemen, 185 pounds, by the way.
2 for the fitness influencers.
Alright, last up.
3, 2, 1.
Go.
Let's go.
Haram does it.
3 points for the influencers.
Now it's time for event number 2.
This is the combat carry.
You're going to shoulder load the 140-pound log.
You're going to carry 80 feet.
When you get to the end, you're going to unrack it.
You're going to bear hug it, and you're going to come all the way back.
First team to make it here gets the point.
On my command to go, you can proceed.
3, 2, 1.
Go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Up, up, up, up.
There it is.
My name is B.J. Nard.
I'm a fitness and sports coach.
I don't think these boys want to smoke.
We're some dogs cut from a different cloth.
Come on.
B.J. heads off first.
Come on.
Shoulder.
Get slow.
There we go.
Get it on your shoulder.
There you go.
Come on.
Make it to the end.
Stay in your lane.
Stay in your lane, B.J.
I'm Zachary Taylor Harmon.
I'm a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps.
Some may say I'm corn-fed, you know, born and raised in the South.
I feel pretty good today.
B.J. makes it across first.
Strongman logs.
Here, here, here.
Drop it.
Boom.
Influencers take the point.
Next up, both gentlemen, 180 pounds.
Come on.
Pick it up.
Grab it.
I'm Gunner Evans.
I'm a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps.
And one reason I know we're going to win today is, number one, because I'm a Marine.
And number two is that I'm an Evans.
I always win.
Grab it.
There you go.
Go.
Keep your balance.
Come on, Gunner.
Let's go, Gunner.
You got to beat him on that bear hug.
Come on.
My name's Kyle Gordon-Lowie.
I'm a personal trainer.
We're natural athletes.
We don't lose.
Come on.
Pick it up.
Race.
Come on.
You guys need a point.
Come on.
Finish it, Kyle.
Finish, Kyle.
Come on, Gunner.
Pick it up.
Finish.
Pick it up.
Finish.
No log is done.
Let's go.
Point goes to the influencers.
So far, five points for the influencers.
We have Hiram and Mason.
Both gentlemen, about 145 pounds.
This log is the same as their body weight.
We're going to let your team help you load it on your shoulder.
When I say go, you guys can help them.
And then you're off.
Go.
Smart load.
Get it in a good position.
Carry it.
There we go.
I'm Lance Corporal Smith from Atlanta, Georgia.
Been in a little over a year.
And I think the Marines are going to win because we don't stop until the job's finished.
Go.
Don't drop it.
Come on.
Keep your balance.
Good time.
Good.
There we go now.
Bear hug.
Come on.
Grab it higher.
Grab it.
My name is Hiram Torres-Ramos.
I'm a personal soccer trainer.
Someone's got to show these guys that they're not the only tough ones out there.
Stay strong.
Steady.
Come on.
Stop now.
Let's go.
Grab it high.
There you go.
Let's go.
You got it.
Let's go.
Come on.
Keep pushing.
Fitness influencers, six points so far.
You're going to want to stick around for the kayak.
That's going to be a good one.
But next event, this is track sprint.
Marines, you have zero points.
Influencers, you have zero points.
How do you plan to come back?
Run our hearts out right now.
If we don't throw up at the end, we didn't try hard enough.
Exactly.
So I want to see all three of y'all throw up now.
Sounds good.
All right.
Obviously, we have some good competition over here.
We're here.
We just got to push through it.
Got to keep going up, build our confidence, and take them down at the same time.
We have a 400-meter sprint.
In the Marine Corps, you guys normally do a 800-meter sprint.
So you should be twice as fast here.
That doesn't make sense.
My math is terrible.
But we have a waterfall start.
So your job, whoever's in first, is to merge into this first lane because it's the shortest distance.
While you guys are watching out there, we ask that you hit the like on the video because
I don't want to go homeless.
Two, one, go.
Let's go, BJ.
Uh-oh.
Don't let him get it first.
Pretty even so far.
Almost halfway.
Come on, Zach.
Let's go, BJ.
Let's go, Zachary.
Push yourself.
Let's go, Zachary.
Let's go.
He's still coasting.
Let's go.
Come on, Zach.
Give it all you got.
All the way.
BJ's coming in.
He's got about 15 foot on Zach.
All the way.
Let's go.
Push.
Finish.
Influencer.
Take the point.
All right.
We got Kyle and Gunnar.
Can you guys give each other a hug just for some friendly competition?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
Thank you very much.
Good luck.
You're losing.
Three, two, one, go.
And they're off.
Got some speed demons.
Both gentlemen about 180 pounds.
Let's go, boys.
Gunnar pulls ahead.
Let's go, Gunnar.
Push.
Go, Gunnar.
Pace yourself.
Let's go.
Pick it up.
Are we going to see a comeback?
It's neck and neck.
Gunnar takes a fat lead.
Let's go, Gunnar.
Forget about the 100%.
We're going more.
We're going above and beyond right now.
We got to finish out strong.
Takes it for the Marines.
I finished, Kyle.
I'm that lost.
You know, Carter's not my strong suit, but we got him and everything else.
Are you going to beat him?
We're about to see.
Influencer is seven.
Marines won him.
I was just looking at your tote bag.
Pass the line.
Two, one, go.
Light work, baby.
Let's go.
Hiram.
Oh, he took off.
Let's go, Mason.
Let's go.
My boy got a hell of a stride on him.
Let's go.
Open the wall, baby.

Bring it in.

Can't lose that one.
That boy fast for no reason.
Eight point for the influencers.
One point for the Marine.
Now, weightlifting.
Let's do it, baby.
First, we have deadlifts.
Second, we have pull-ups.
Third, we have dips.
Each team has to decide which person is going to take on the deadlifts.

Which one of you wants it?
You?
All right.

When in doubt, pull it out.

Teamwork, baby.
Makes the dream work.
If you guys need a reminder out there,
be sure to come out of your comfort zone
and try something new today.
Great job, Marines.
Fitness influencers, take this one.
Last event, we have dips.
Could you put your hand right here?
Yep.
And then put your hand right here.
All right, cool.
When you put your hands up on my hips, I dip, you dip,
we all dip at the same time.
Ready?
Same time.
You guys can subscribe if that made you laugh a little bit.
I mean, I wrote that like a week ago.
Straight from his head.
Yeah.
Anyways, when I say go, you guys are going to mount the bar,
you're going to dip it out,
so you're going to come down at least to a 90,
all the way up.
Make sure you keep a good form.
I don't want you to tear your pec here.
This is actually my first time dipping.
I got some grizzly wintergreen.
All right, appreciate it.
We don't promote tobacco out there.
On my command to go, you're going to proceed.
Three, two, one, go.
90 degrees, yep, all the way up.
Lock it up at the top.
Come all the way up.
So he's got the narrow approach, he's got a little bit wider.
Really good dips here.
Come on, push it out, push it out, push it out.
Come on, lock it out at the top.
Very good job.
Fitness influencers, take that 11 to 1.
It's time for the final event.
Event number five, kayaking, 200 meters.
So we have two gentlemen, Haram and Mason out there.
They're going to be sprint kayaking.
You're going around the buoy.
Do it by any means necessary.
You can bump each other, and you can flip each other,
if you would like.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Sprint race.
Go, baby.
Pull up last.
Oh, yeah.
Mason's jumping.
Let's go, let's go.
They're looking good.
All these guys are out here because they applied
to be in one of my YouTube videos.
If you click the link below, you can apply.
We'll put you in a YouTube video.
You guys having fun so far?
Yeah, of course.
Mason makes it to first, stealing the buoy from Haram.
Haram's taking the inner.
Come on, Mason.
Come on.
Yeah, buddy.
Let's go.
Where are you going, bud?
I see you.
He's bringing it in.
Look at that.
Haram does it for the influencers.
Wait, did he touch it?
A little bit wet.
No, he didn't touch it.
What do you mean?
He didn't touch.
Hey, that's the finish line.
If you don't pass it.
Haram, you didn't touch.
Oh.
A lot of technicality.
Here's your platform right here.
Technicality.
All right, next up, Gunner versus Kyle.
Three, two, one, go.
Oh, yeah.
Kyle, keep going.
Keep it going.
Yeah.
Let's go, baby.
He can't stop you.
Come on.
All right, so we got a broken paddle out.
Let's go.
We got a broken paddle.
Go one side.
Put one paddle in.
Come on.
Go ahead and get him.
Kyle, we talking.
Yeah.
Hey, we're Marines.
Water is our element.
Now we got a canoe out there.
I haven't laughed this hard in any YouTube video.
Yeah, this is hilarious.
Look at him out there.
He's just like.
Oh, my cheeks are hurting from smiling, from laughing so much.
Right here.
Come on.
Bring it in.
Coming in hot, baby.
Marines take the point.
There you go.
Kyle, what happened?
You guys are winning on technicality left and right.
What happened out there?
Oh, man.
Oh.
Who set you up, bro?
Obviously, we can't give the good paddle to one team and the bad paddle,
so we're just putting the bad paddles.
This is going to turn from kayaking to canoeing.
Last wave, y'all.
You guys ready?
Go.
Let's go.
Let's go, BJ.
Every five.
Don't flip.
Take it easy.
Let's go.
Where are you going?
Paddle right.

Neck on neck.
BJ's pushing him in.
Push him out of the way.
This is bumper kayaks.
Let's go.
Turn.
Get out of there.
I'm out of there.
Uh-oh.
BJ, lean forward.
BJ's in the lead.
Bring it back.
Harmon, where are you going?
What the heck, man?
Why are you coming to us?
He's on a vacation now.

You got to touch his dock.
You got to touch.
Hey, touch the dock.
