I got HUMBLED by this Worlds HARDEST Fitness Race
DOMTOMATO
0:00 I've been asked to do a Hyrox.
0:02 Now, if you don't know what a Hierrox is, they're physically very demanding.
0:07 8 km of running with eight workout stations.
0:10 1 km, one station, eight times.
0:13 And all against the clock.
0:15 And this race is in London.
0:23 This Hyrox is a little bit different.
0:25 Whoever wins this Hyrox will be crowned fittest creator 2026.
0:30 I haven't trained for this at all, so I decided to bring my secret weapon.
0:55 This is England.
0:57 You come to London, you will do parkour.
1:00 Yeah.
1:01 Nice.
1:02 It's crazy.
1:02 He does not do stuff like this normally.
1:04 So, I'm just putting him in the deep end like,
1:06 "Okay, get up on this high wall and walk across."
1:08 How was that?
1:11 Out the front of the old Bailey.
1:14 Jumps have been found.
1:17 Come on, big man.
1:19 Good.
1:19 Not good.
1:21 Jeez.
1:26 Yes, sir.
1:28 Ready for this race.
1:33 Just got down to breakfast and you will
1:35 not believe who is here for the competition.
1:40 Return Hello.
1:41 of team Korea.
1:52 Are you guys excited for the race?
1:55 Yeah, very excited.
1:56 What is your record?
2:00 Record um open double
2:04 58.
2:04 Jesus, that's fast.
2:06 Easy, bro.
2:06 That's Yeah.
2:07 Yeah.
2:08 A lot could do that dragging three bins.
2:10 So I think for the race because these guys are the experts,
2:14 we'll try and pace ourselves off them as far as rhythm for the kilometer.
2:20 And if we can stay up with them, great.
2:23 If not, great.
2:29 My boy from Australia.
2:30 You're cool.
2:34 No, you're cool.
2:34 You're cool.
2:35 Not you, bro.
2:36 He doesn't mean you, buddy.
2:37 Don't worry.
2:39 So Alani is the biggest person here.
2:41 I have bought the biggest weapon.
2:43 Um size isn't everything.
2:45 It's how you use it, you know.
2:47 So I'm going to use it effectively.
2:50 I'm definitely just making Alani do all of the challenges.
2:53 I'll do that.
2:54 I'll do that.
2:54 You do that.
2:55 And I'll do that.
2:56 All right.
2:57 Deal.
2:57 Deal.
2:57 Deal.
2:58 VIP section manage.
3:06 This is sick.
3:07 I'm actually hyped as now now that I'm here, I'm actually super keen on this.
3:10 I feel like looking at the pace that people are going,
3:13 figuring out if it's about a 4minute pace, I think I can match that speed.
3:16 I reckon we can do pretty good.
3:18 I know he'll be able to keep up with me.
3:20 Um, it's just whether we can hold that pace throughout the whole thing.
3:25 Oh, team Australia.
3:28 If one beer will be drunk out of said cup.
3:38 Look at the Swedans.
3:39 Do you guys speak Sweden?
3:41 Yeah, we are.
3:42 No, this is small because I want to look big.
3:44 So,
3:46 ah,
3:45 this is extra extra extra large.
3:47 Your physique is pretty insane, bro.
3:49 Do you lift?
3:51 Thank you.
3:53 All right, so I'm taking over the I'm taking over the stream here.
3:55 Um, we're going to suss out the core.
3:58 So, this is probably pre- death.
4:00 This is my face before hierox.
4:03 It's going to be dead.
4:05 It's going to be what?
4:27 All right.
4:27 So, we got three tiers.
4:29 Bottom tier is beating KSI.
4:31 Mid tier is beating team career.
4:33 Top tier winning.
4:34 Realistically, we haven't trained for it.
4:36 We haven't done it before.
4:38 And so, knowledge is power.
4:39 Experience is power.
4:40 And the Korean team,
4:41 who we have a personal blood oath against, they have done it.
4:45 So, we're going to follow them, staying on them,
4:49 and hopefully not gassing out because we didn't pace ourselves.
4:52 Using somebody else to pace us.
5:05 I haven't run more than a kilometer in 10 months.
5:09 So, I don't know after 500 m of my ankle's just going to go and I'm
5:13 going to be like the whole way there or will they would the surgery have worked.
5:18 It's kind of a good test to see has the surgery paid off.
5:21 Um they're doing it in a highly competitive way.
5:23 So, yeah.
5:26 3 minutes now the pressure's really on everyone has to go
5:42 exactly time for the high world series of fitness racing 30 seconds
5:51 here we go
5:53 we go
5:54 high rocks no training let's get it.
6:04 And they are off.
6:11 As the race kicked off,
6:13 we flew out strong and planted ourselves right among the leaders.
6:18 All right.
6:22 By the time we hit the ski urgge for our thousand meter grind,
6:25 we were only sitting in fourth place.
6:29 Okay, this is going to be[ __]
6:32 Yeah, trying to keep pace with the career is going to be hard.
6:35 How's it going, mate?
6:36 It's going to be harder than I thought, for sure.
6:38 Oh, the competition is better than you expected.
6:40 Uh, it's just fast pace.
6:42 Haven't run in ages.
6:44 All right.
6:44 Well, you're doing it flying.
6:45 You're flying.
6:45 You feel great right now.
6:47 Woohoo.
6:49 But safe to say technique had already left the building.
6:53 I don't know if it even entered it to begin with.
6:55 Uh Eden, would you like to meditate on his technique?
7:01 Lap 2 felt strong and we were
7:03 in a really good position heading into the sled push.
7:07 150 kilos for 50 m of pure pain.
7:10 Luckily, this was one of our better stations.
7:12 We actually managed to get the second fastest time overall
7:15 on this station and it kept us right in touch with team Korea.
7:20 Oh, it's so hard.
7:23 We're only up to the third leg.
7:25 They've already pumped.
7:27 The South Koreans, they're on to the next station, the sled pool.
7:31 But that's where the body weight advantage ended.
7:33 By the time we got to the sled, the Koreans had already launched away from us.
7:37 Mate, their running pace was insane.
7:40 And we also had KSI breathing down our necks.
7:43 Well, you are in the lead.
7:44 How excited are you?
7:47 Yeah.
7:47 You want to go for the win?
7:49 Yeah, I want I All right.
7:50 Team Korea wants to go for the win.
7:53 Then we arrived at station 4, the one that I knew was my moment.
7:57 I know Dom is massively looking forward to this station.
8:01 Yes, obviously a very accomplished free runner.
8:09 I tried really, really, really hard to catch up with KSI,
8:13 but 80 m of burpees in one hit is absolutely brutal.
8:17 And I had to tag out to Alani.
8:21 Oh, two ambitious go away.
8:30 Yep.
8:31 Yep.
8:31 Yep.
8:34 By the time we finished,
8:35 team career were miles ahead and team KSI had slipped past us too.
8:39 Bugger.
8:46 As we got to the rower, mate, we were completely gassed.
8:50 Not just me, but my big man, Alotti.
8:53 Oh, I'm[ __] Maybe we'll be in the top 50%.
8:58 Unreal.
8:59 You're beautiful, mate.
9:04 Let's go, Lonnie.
9:06 Team Australia, how are you feeling?
9:08 Okay, we're pretty knackered.
9:09 It was a little bit more exhausting than we originally thought,
9:11 but we're getting there.
9:12 Just above halfway now.
9:14 Winded home.
9:15 Then you're going to cry in the corner.
9:17 I believe in you guys.
9:18 Alone on that rower.
9:19 He's got a lovely form.
9:21 He's keeping his body nice and upright.
9:23 He's driving through his legs.
9:25 Oh my god, it's so much worse than I thought it was going to be.
9:28 Lot of people do this for fun.
9:31 Oh my god, it's the opposite of I was also going to say,
9:35 "Are we going to comment on Dom's form?" Once again, technique disappeared.
9:41 Well, if it ever existed,
9:43 but we got the job done and we moved
9:46 to the station where Alani is an absolute weapon.
9:50 Aloney there with those 22 24 kg kettle bells in his hands.
9:53 He is a man mountain.
9:55 I do wonder whether Dom will even pick him up
9:58 and give him a hand cuz he's looking super He's off again.
10:01 I was like, if you can keep up with him.
10:03 But during the farmer's car,
10:04 he was running away from me faster than I could run without the weights.
10:09 Jesus, he was so good.
10:11 And after that monster effort from Alani,
10:13 he just took off and I was struggling just to keep up with him.
10:18 Like he'd run for 30 seconds and then wait
10:20 for me and then I'd have to catch up to him.
10:22 By the time I caught up to him, he'd take off again.
10:25 So he was dragging me through that second half.
10:27 And while I'm struggling to keep up with Alani,
10:30 meanwhile, team career, we're basically at the finish line.
10:33 The final few reps for South Korea as they are
10:37 going to be your inaugural brownie times Creator Cup champion.
10:43 There they go.
10:44 They deserve this.
10:46 Definitely rematch.
10:52 We still had two stations left.
10:54 Starting with the standag lunges and they weren't that bad.
10:58 So Domato there leading team Australia what looks like out of the lunges.
11:03 I thought they were going to be worse but they were all right.
11:09 Last lap.
11:10 Almost there.
11:12 G2 UK crossing the finish line now.
11:14 KSI and Theo Baker.
11:16 And with KSI already finished,
11:18 we weren't far behind heading into the final station, the wall balls.
11:24 Donado is going to need every ball over.
11:28 Oh, he picks another ball.
11:30 He's too strong.
11:30 He's too strong.
11:32 Over the target.
11:33 I mean, thank heavens for that net.
11:36 Like, yes.
11:38 Yes.
11:38 Those balls are heavy.
11:40 And they finish.
11:42 Nice.
11:43 Here comes a team Australia.
11:47 Oh, there was the flip.
11:48 You saw a little flip there.
11:50 Bring this promise down if you want at the end of the high road.
11:53 At the end of the high, but it feels hard enough.
11:55 Batman needs to work a little harder.
11:57 I am[ __] destroyed.
12:03 How was it?
12:03 Yeah, it was hard.
12:04 I thought it was going to be easier than that, but it was terrible.
12:07 My ankles are ruined.
12:09 They did not like that at all.
12:17 You did amazing.
12:18 Amazing.
12:23 Uh, the transitions hurt, but I was expected and my wife wanted a sub 108,
12:27 so apparently got penalized for something.
12:30 I don't know what though.
12:31 I'm keen to do another one.
12:32 I never thought I'd say that.
12:33 Never thought I'd sign up for Harris, but I can't wait for the next one.
12:35 So, whoever that may be, let's go.
12:37 Let's do it.
12:43 I'm excited to see the South African boys come in.
12:46 They've been having a bunch of fun and they've been trailing the whole time,
12:49 but they'll wind us down for the final duo
12:51 in and got everybody surrounding the the final obstacle.
12:55 So, it'll be a bunch of like laugh and support.
12:58 I'm ready for it.
13:07 Bring it onto the stage.
13:18 Give it up for South Africa.
13:26 I love that.
13:26 That was awesome.
13:27 Nothing like seeing people push themselves
13:29 that last hallmate for that final stretch.
13:32 BIG HIM UP.
13:39 OH, my legs so juice.
13:41 That was so hard.
13:50 If you're going to do a high rocks, I would suggest training for it.
13:53 At least training running because I was blown
13:56 away and humbled by how difficult it actually was.
13:59 Parkour is way easier cuz you don't have
14:02 to keep doing it for an extended period of time.
14:04 Alani definitely carried the team there for us and I'm
14:07 eternally grateful that secret strategy kind of paid off.
14:11 Uh came like eight.
14:14 We didn't beat KSI.
14:15 All levels were not achieved, but if you lose, you lose.
14:19 That's the nature of the beast.
14:20 And I had a great time doing it.
14:21 So hopefully we get to come back again.
14:24 Next time I might actually train.
14:30 I'm actually so impressed.
14:31 They like they really like didn't I knew they
14:34 were going to be good but they were great.
14:35 They were[ __] fantastic like almost a pro level and I don't know
14:40 there's something bittersweet about seeing like
14:42 your mortal enemies like absolutely crush it.
14:45 There was Yeah, really cool.
14:53 So good to see you guys again.
14:55 Right.
14:55 So if you're going to do a high rocks, make sure you uh bring a big teammate.
15:00 train really hard and of course like, comment, subscribe, say hi to your mom for
