Steve has no business being that heavy and jumping that high/ running that fast. #AbsoluteG
Listen here boy, dud missed out on a career as a defensive lineman in the NFL
Lol he was on his way to the NFL but his multiple knee and leg injuries held him back.
Steve should've dropped some pounds and tried rugby.
yeah, that surprised the SHIT out of me! the very definition of BEAST
4.78 40??? He's faster than tons of NFL linemen, as well as some of the bigger LBs and TEs!
I'd rather get hit by a smart car going 30mph than have Steve run at me. Mans Like a brick shed with legs. Absolute beast.
Fantastic metaphore lmao
İt's fucking insane
Zte Axon 7 That was a simile
*absolute unit
I'd rather get hit by a dumb car.
brute...you dont know what you started. this showdown is going to have to be a regular periodic occurrence.
Screw You Google With the same compeditors but other sports or different compeditors with other sports 🤔
They should try to get someone like brian shaw, eddie hall, or hafthor on for one
Coleworld ;)
those guys are great and everything, but they would be just like steve. a strong man. maybe introduce a gymnast, cyclyst, golfer, swimmer, competitive eater, calisthenix, etc...
truly. i expect a reunion tour. and a new season with women in different disciplines.
Powerlifter ran sub 5 Second 40??? Impressive as hellllll
He tried to go in the NFL first
@@ethanswimmer1287 peds won't give you a sub 5 40 at 300lbs unless you have NFL tier genetics anyways
@ I was thinking the same I'd shit myself
He’s a genetic freak PED’s or not without the genetics it wouldn’t be possible. I was stunned to see that massive guy run that quick.
I think his strength training when it comes to squats (and maybe deadlifts) for sure develop and strengthen the leg muscles a lot allowing him to be faster and explosive
Luis is an absolute diamond. So pure
Latiamerican people is like that, I am from Costa Rica and have met some colombian guys that are super friendly and kind
@@jacksonfev Dont take this personal but i don't give a shit. You are taking this out of context, there are studies that show that people are happier in latianamerican countries than in some coutries from Europe for example, I also hate steriotypes but I dont think saying "latinos" are friendly is a bad thing at all, and I never meant to say there is not fiendly people in the whole fucking world, dont waste people's time trying to look for steriotypes or some shit, cus my english is too bad to try to explain things like this the way i wished I could, also I understand your point of you but I bet you are the only one offended by these types of comments tbh.
@@jacksonfev Lmao dude, you are showing how smart you are in youtube comments, but its the internet, literally nobody cares if you think comments are wrong, if I am a dude who fits your steriotypes or if you can speak 10 lenguajes... At the end you are just begging attention, trying to prove you are superior or some similar thing, feel free to not waste your time cus I don't think people actually wanna speak with you in these comment sections.
Hypocrite: * says the dude who points out my steriotype problems by using them on me * :)
@@jacksonfev Ok idk why you are mad, I do speak spanish thou, and I could say that I can easily learn a third lenguage which I am btw, however it's not my main career, and I have nothing to envy to those european people you like so much...
I think its about time you stop making retarded conclusions about me and whatever I said, and go spit your shit on other comment...
Also have some of your PeAcE aNd LoVe...
@@jacksonfev man you're just being hella cynical at this comment. Being nice and friendly aren't the only strengths in life. Every culture has an equal number of strengths and weaknesses. I think being gracious and humble in certain situations or looking on the bright side of things more often might be a norm in some cultures while being more guarded and competitive is a norm in other cultures. One is great because it is very warm and fuzzy, but can turn reckless or dangerous in some situations. The other is great because it keeps up healthy boundaries, protecting you and yours, but it can make you depressed or hard to get close to in some situations. I am a gringa who married into a Honduran family and the cultures are different but balance each other well. My husband is always reminding me that our life is beautiful, that even our enemies are still people, and that life is to be enjoyed. He has an amazing light that shines from his soul and I view my life with more gratitude than I did before we met. I am always reminding him to not trust people immediately and that life can be enjoyed in moderation so we protect our health and our finances. I have kept us safe and helped him navigate the US's often dystopian economy and legal system. We can acknowledge cultural differences and praise cultural characteristics without implying that other cultures are overall inferior.
STEVE honestly had me nervous at the start and I felt bad for him (at first) but he honestly surprised the hell out of me in this one!! I think he’s nervous on what people will think or say but I feel pretty confident in saying that everyone thinks he’s a total beast after this!!!
Hell yea. I also think he should of come second in the bodybuilding competition, but eh.
Awesome arms, shoulders, chest, lats. That alone should have been enough to place higher than 4th.
Plus the posing was better than 4th, can't disregard that entirely.
He didn't have the showmanship with his poses. He went right to the flex whereas everyone else was going through the pose. That is probably why he placed last. Upper body physique was definitely solid though.
compared to the other guys he seems more of an introvert, i'm glad they still all got along
@@NeedSpeed39 I actually thought he was russian at first and just didnt speak any english but then i realized he actually spoke in the first video
@@Siberius- Definitely. Jacob had ZERO lats, and outside of biceps (which literally anybody with a pulse can develop pretty well), he has a CrossFit body (oddly proportioned - obviously strong, but not at all aesthetic).
Steve was a beast! With So much bodyweight to move around.
his vertical is literally higher than half the NBA lol
He’s got all that power in his legs. Those big guys are fast in quick sprints
He wasn't my favorite so far but lotta respect, big man can move!!
Hell yea! Explosive heavy weight training (powerlifter, Strongman) is a must for any athlete.
yeah he was by far the most impressive in the speed and jumping events
Luis is worth at least 100 million. Barca and Madrid, take note
Juan Eduardo Romero you right XD
Hahaha
Some Mexican team must first sign him.
Free agent!!!
He's Colombian
@@kun490 And an Olympic athlete soooo....
The Powerlifter is the winner of hearts 😢
How hard is it to film a a half court basketball shot?!?
Glad im not the only one asking that! Film the actually game not the fucking pole 😂
Someone forgot to pack the wide angle lens. xD
@@reimann8605 It was filmed like that purposely, to add dramatic effect on who the winner would be luv
Absolutely infuriating
He's an idiot
Steve charging is the stuff of nightmares.
Luis has been so humble during the series. Really cool to see! Also, amazing to see Steve's athleticism, very impressive for his size, Lawrence was also very athletic for a bodybuilder and then although Jacob didn't excell in anything, overall he was a very good athlete. 4 amazing athletes with their own features, strengths and weaknesses.
He did excel at "grace" more than twice as fast as the next guy... although to be fair "Grace" is a Crossfit staple so he would have done it many times. :) :) :)
honestly theyre all surprising, Steve is an absolute unit and has no business running and jumping like that, Lawrence is funny as hell and pretty good all round, Luis is obviously great at what he does i mean he is an olympic athlete after all, and Jacob really surprised me in almost everything so far, I mean 510lbs deadlift? thats fuckin insane
Jesus Steve can move. Big man with speed 👌
D1 Football Player
h3llraise if he could catch he would be a good TE
His injuries are what held him back he was on his way to being a badass defensive lineman for the NFL.
That's too bad. Good to see he picked up on something has still become really good in that sport. Mad props.
Big strong lads tend to have powerful legs.
Please do another series like this
Aidan Sammel I love this one yea one with women would be great
Adika Aniedobe yes that would be very interesting
Aidan Sammel boy do i have some news for you
@@callinugent9061 lol
I'm kinda glad to see these athletes actually suck in actual sport events. Gives me hope.
mrNODAYSOFF weren't there vertical jump high?
I mean 3 of them jumped 37 inches in the STANDING vertical jump, that's better from guys like d rose and westbrook.
The broad jumps were impressive too
Soccer is a sport that relies on skill of course steve wouldn't be able to dribble if he have not touched a soccer ball in years. In terms of pure athleticism though, you can' t deny their running and jumping ability without even training for them. And of course they are not gonna be skilled in a sport they don't even play lol you 're missing the point
mrNODAYSOFF the 4.5 for a Olympic lifter is pretty impressive
their verticals were nfl impressive stats
Damn gentili faster than that bodybuilder and jumps higher than the crossfit dude. Straight up insane
Ch Lakkireddy he played D1 football and he was on his way to playing for the NFL but his leg and knee injuries kept him away from it.
It’s literally insane how much power is in the mans body
Luis is so humble and genuine. Glad he was able to do this. He is an overall good sport.
9:25 "the coach said i was too aggressive when the other kids would come after the ball" the man is a legend! They all seem great but Steve is my favorite!
I really like the Columbian guy, humble, grateful dude,hope next Olympics he takes it.
How is that powerlifter have a 37 inch vertical. Holy shit just how strong is he
krayner33 when your legs can pull 900lbs from the ground they shouldn’t have a hard time throwing 275 off of it a few feet. I used to flutter around 600 deadlifting and was about 250 with a 35 inch vertical so it makes sense to me that a guy who was 30 pounds more but lifted 300lbs more could jump nearly 3 inches higher.
it was measured wrong, the hight of the bodybuilder and the powerlifter where an advantage, usually you should just measure the distance you jump. Olympic lifters have one of the best vertical jumps thanks to their exeplosive leg/calve work.
@@Braddaddyx they modified the height of the stand after measuring their maximum reach. It wasn't shown much in this episode but you can see how they do it in the womens' version
Exactly, when you can Squat like 800lbs, you can likely jump crazy high. I was impressed by the sprint, but it also makes sense, he's like the Juggernaut, at that size, once you get momentum, nothing could stand in your way. I actually expected the Bodybuilder to win that, but he doesn't look like he knows how to run effectively for his size. My favorite part of the whole thing was when the Olympic Lifter said that if the Bodybuilder knew the clean technique, he'd have won that event.
Challenging stereotypes at the end. Lol
D. Faust ik it’s kinda funny
They really just asked this nigga if hed be better at swimming than basketball
@@jayjaybaby3302 hell yeah I caught that he handled it with class though.
I'm not an American. Sorry to be dumb, but what's the significance of this?
@@nickdurie its a sterotype in the US that black guys play basketball, and hate swimming. Cant say much about tennis though because of the Williams sisters lol.
Steve is why I love powerlifters and the sport itself. He had to be my fave, loved how he was the heaviest out of all of them. Yet he still proved himself so well. Well done to all of the guys !
8:23 LATINOOOOOO DETECTED jajajaja
jajajaj "but with a soccer ball... LUIS!" jajaj
Great series but the camera angle for knockout was kinda bad
bad is an understatement
I was SHOOK at Steves vertical and how fast he can move! Very impressive! Luis is a class act he seems like such a nice guy i’m glad he took first ♥️
Powerliftfters have got strong legs
dude i still cant get over how much steve could lift. jacob was super surprising on the cleave and damn lawrence could cleave! i liked that luis was just a complete beast too. insane how he can be half the size and keep up in direct weight competitions. he is a true olympian.
Steve DEFINITELY surprised me, really strong, fast, jumps high... Don't steal his girls purse, he'll catch you and you'll end up like that Oberyn Martell’s on Game of Thrones.
Edit: Thanks for the series, it was so good I subscribed. Props to all the athletes being so humble and great to watch.
Dude the Powerlifter is a beast! Based on his size and weight alone he dominated!
Steve may have come in last place but I was also very impressed with his agility, for being such a large man. On the football agility drill I was amazed at his grace for so much mass. Same goes for the sprint, & the deadlift. Keep your chin up Steve, you impressed us all!
glad luis won but holy shiiiit steve is fast af
I guess athleticism isn't always related to traditional sports.
It would have been nice to see a couple of them who've actually played sports where throwing is involved, lol.
Luis can fucking run pretty fast though.
Your first sentence doesn't make any sense. All of them did pretty well in regards to athleticism.
Traditional sport*, that's what I meant.
They aren't very good at sports, and aren't very coorindated, that's a huge part of athleticism.
Josh Lynch they are all terrific athletes in their respective fields, all pros at what they do. No weekend athletes that do a little of everything but master nothing.
Pro weight lifters has crazy explosive strength
I agree 100%, they are great at their respective competition/sport. I just said they aren't good at traditional sports as we know, outside of Luis being pretty decent with eye-foot coordination.
The art of throwing a ball efficiently shows great kinetic timing, as well as kicking one. Catching a ball shows that you have hand-eye coordination.
They are good at what they do specifically, but a huge part of athleticism has to do with being able to put together a good kinetic chain outside of a power clean. It has a lot to do with being able to do tasks outside of that.
Not bashing anyone, I think they are all tremendously great athletes, but they are not athletic in the sense that they are coordinated.
The contests are cool, but you have to work hard on your videography and camerawork.
I love that the show displayed everyone's expertise equally. It went about how I expected, even Steve. He's literally built like a linebacker.
I like the thing but, from the soccer forward, every challenge seemed made up. 😂
"What to give them now?"
"I got some balls in the car and pretty sure my uncle left a bat in there too."
"Does your uncle play softball?"
"Nah. He just have it in case someone tries to rob him at the mall or something."
"We got an episode guys."
😂😂😂
Such a cool series!
Luis stole my heart fr, he stays so positive it's great to see
I find it hilarious that Lawrence called the sports “biased”... football, baseball, basketball and track and field: all sports historically dominated by and large by black americans. He then goes on to say he would prefer 1) swimming 2) golf and 3) tennis 🤣
Mojones dude that's fuckn hilarious 😂😂😂
Can I just add that the Columbian dude won most of the sports which is weird because (except football) they are all American sports
Haha He forgot lacrosse and hockey. Yeah buddy!
luke joannou he looked really good at soccer. At every other sport though they were all equally bad
He meant biased towards size. He's upset because against an athlete who weighs significantly less he didnt feel like it was as i
Enjoyable
steve is such a sweetheart
i wanna hug him
I think we have to credit to whoever chose these athletes. Not all competitors in their respective fields are as friendly and versatile as these guys. They were really encouraging to each other and generally having fun with each other - which I've seen on other channels and series not work so well. Great job Brute you get a sub.
Steve was INSANE. Mad respect
Steve is an absolute fecking unit! Imagine that running after you.
Why do you not show the times and scores for each person every time?
I had a feeling that Steve would have a good 40 time when mentioned college athletics in his past (obviously football), but a 4.7?!!! Well done big man!
Think the scoring was messed up for knockout. Shouldn't Steve be in second?
Isaac Wolf true
Risky swimming joke by the filmer there at the end lol
Damn, I want another season
Honestly one of the best things that i have watched on youtube for quite a long time. The fact that these guys were all different hight, weight and professionals in their own sport made this thing grate to watch. Thank you Brute
Black coach guy at the beginning was "booming" all the time. "Go right here and boom", "Cross the line and boom", "jump and boom". Steve totally surprised everyone such a beast. Luis like someone stated below is just a pure soul. Cheers to Alan García on the background. Awesome series!
They need new cameramen
New editor too
So can we get like a season 2? Oh yeah and Steve is one hell of an athlete. That vert and particularly that 40 blew my mind.
Steve pretty much nailed it. The vast majority of the events favoured a smaller frame. But props to him for leaving with a good attitude and not getting all salty about it
four opposites... and they seem to be best friends!!! much respect to all of them
They had material to make a +20 episodes. 1 episode for each activity and let some personality time. same recording time
yeah and they could do a video a day, save on editing, get more views more often, make a better product, and not have people forget the series exists because they take so long to edit the videos into steaming piles of shit. Probably done in the same period of time too. Just genuinely some of the most retarded decision making ive ever seen. Litterally went OUT OF THEIR WAY to WORK to make something cool as uncool as possible
Daniel García I totally would have watched 20 videos of these guys. This was great!
I think it was a mistake to have ball sports in this since they have very little to do with strength. Would've been far more interesting with discus, shot put and javelin instead.
Exactly
javelin is pretty technical though. Shot put is the easiest to learn, it'd be interesting to see how they compare with it
@@DesperateSol not really, for javilen you just need a little direction, it's almost like throwing a football. Discus is little more technical because of your footing technique and the hand holding.
Dude big man Steve is by far the best athlete here! That man is a beast. A person that size that can actually run a 4.6 40, and still knows how to throw a baseball and football properly, knows how to swing a bat, and has the 3 point finesse of a point guard?! He made everyone else look like they were trying out for the first time in their lives 😩🤣
Surprise! Steve my man, what an agile sport billy!
Great series but this last episoded seemed rushed
Steve looked like a Brute during that 40 yard dash. Dudes a monster. Impressive strength and speed.
Loved this series enough to comment! All the competitors were such awesome sports and it was really interesting to see how close they all were
this was an awesome series!
Why film the knockout and not show anything...
Do this series again please, this is some of the best content I’ve seen in the fitness realm!! Steve was by far the most impressive though for his size and ability. He is an absolute beast! Props to all the athletes though, their all amazing
Steve should have wore a hat. And before every run should have screamed ’I am the Juggernaut BITCH’!.
But seriously, what a beast. They all were. Enjoyed every second of both men and women competitors.
Power lifter needs to be in the nfl at that size running a 4.83 40
Loved this series!
I don't know why this series ended up on my recommendations. But this was a thrilling ride. Even those who are not into bodybuilding can enjoy this series!
Man these are a bunch of great guys, they all do different sports but they got a chance to do other sports they probably never would. They gave it their all and that all you can ask for! *very entertaining, Brute Strength* keep them coming!
Does anyone else think that Steve should become a left tackle in the nfl
Loved it.
Only feedback is they should add more weighted movements like pull ups, strongman carry, and maybe an endurance event like a 5K or a mile run
you might kill 3 of them with a 5k run lol.
Yeah throw some real cardio/endurance training in there.
Seem like 4 really cool dudes, mad respect to all of them. I could definitely see the olympic spirit in the weightlifter. Did you see the big guy move in the 40? I can't believe NFL scouts are not calling him...37" vert too, lol.
This was an excellent series and must happen again. How fun to watch and see the guys have such a good time doing it!
This was a fun series to watch.
id really love to see this series but with guys of similar stats of height and weight atleast
And level. I mean they did use someone who deadlifts over 350 kg for their powerlifter thats very high level as far as I know. Bronze medal Olympic weightlifting is as well of course. Maybe they needed a slightly better crossfitter and bodybuilder by comparison. But it was close and a great series. We should try and make the competition even more exciting and legit indeed.
@@zteaxon7787 Crossfiter was #7 in 2016 and I think the better the bodybuilder the worse he would perform. Imagine someone like Phil or Ramy....they would fail miserably. They should try and get people of similiar weight class. They legit used a super heavy weight powerlifter and a lightweight weightlifter......
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose?
What they really should do is pit world champions or State, national or even regional champions against each other. There will always be differences due to a sport's popularity and so many other variables but then at least you have more reference perhaps. Ah there is no perfect way to do this but if they can get some cool challenges and people this can be a very enjoyable series. Maybe we'll find some of the most rounded athletes this way. If they could next use a swimmer I'm very interested in seeing how a good swimmer atacks against other Olympic or just athletes.
Benjamin Dizdarevic yeh I think you've missed the point - I mean the lightest guy won
I honestly don’t know why this hasn’t been turned into a series for TV, just do a series at different weight classes and you’ve got a quality show
This was such an awesome series! I loved getting to know the athletes - great personalities! I really want this series to continue! Thank you very much!
I really liked the deadlift competition , but i honestly think it was a mistake to choose that exercise. The perfect exercise in this competitiom i think its the squat , because thats middle ground. Those four athletes should squat on a daily basis. I really hope that a squat showdown is made
eh debatable. pretty much all of them should deadlift ( or some variation) daily as well. but I would've liked to see a squat competition.
I think the squat would’ve been too controversial to judge. The deadlift is easier, did he pick it up off the floor? Ok 👌
Jacob talking about looking good in the soccer shorts 🤣
Thank you for these Brute Showdown videos always been curious to see how certain fitness niches hold up against each other. Great athletes on and personalities on here. This is amazing
This was a good series. Keep these going.
that football throw event was truly painful to watch lol
Do one with a Green Beret, a MARSOC operator, a SEAL, and a PJ
Do swimming also!
SOF from all 4 branches, I like it
What a great showdown - I love watching stuff like this!! All the competitors were AWESOME!!! 😃🤙💪
This was an epic series! Should continue for sure. Props to all the athletes they did amazing!
The other guys were like "Mad props to those guys, they did well".
Steve (the strong man) was like "Well, I was heavier, that's why I lost".
k01dsv right! Also, he didn't seem to take to the other guys. Maybe he is just an introvert though.
This needs to be a preliminary round have em train at their worst events for x number of days and then recompete
Keep up the great work. Loving these episodes ! Luis Javier Mosquera apsolute beast in every challenge!
Absolutely great series. Props to Steve for showing everyone that big guys can move too. This needs to be done again. Bring superstars from the NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA, and MLS. McDavid from the NHL, Trout from the MLB, and you can pick the rest because I don’t know anything about the other sports to be able to pick superstars from them.
Should of got Jeff cavalier on this. He’s all about Versatility and overall Athleticism.
And along critique how imbalance some of his other competitors are. LOL
He is much older than them though
He's too old
Ye should do this with a basketball,football,baseball and soccer player
And then do some challenges (maybe mind) with chess, scrabble, videogame and poker player. Then some other challenges with Law, medicine, maths and chemistry college students. Then maybe archer vs army sniper vs hunter vs police. Then kickbox vs Thai box vs taekwondo vs jujitsu. Then a knowledge match between liberal, communist, conservative and national socialist. Then race a truck driver, pizza courier, bike courier and mailman. Then do a haggling match between a regular Jewish person (just for the kek) , a wall street broker, a pawn shop owner and a livestock auctioneer.
This was an awesome series. Please do more. These guys were great to watch. Very good entertainment.
This was by far the coolest series ive watched on youtube. This has to happen again
Poor Steve, he has never done so much cardio. Repsect (*Ali G voice*) doe
Carramba86 lol 😂😭
Doesn't matter. Deadlifts 350 + kilos.
Carramba86
he played football... he's done a shit load more cardio than this.
Edit: actually it may not have been football, but i think it was. He talked about doing these football drills before though.
Steve needs to go to the nfl. He would destroy quartebacks lol 😂
Great job guys! The respect is real. Everyone has faults and as long as we either own them and or overcome them we can be better for ourselves. Way to go gentleman, you surely inspired me!
I really enjoyed this series, watched it from start to end, hoping for a second one!
The powerlifter reminds me so much of Brock Lesnar.
Giving hell to a powerlifter
Please make more of these, so awesome to watch!
This was truly so fun to watch! These guys are amazing!
Loved this, do it again but with people who weigh the same
yeah, because finding a crossfit athlete that weighs the same as a bodybuilde or powerlifter is doable...
@@afunkinduck4856 You do realise powerlifting has weight classes. And there are smaller bodybuilders, especially when they're on a cut and dehydrated you'll find some weighing as light as 80kg
