We Tried Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles Workout (WE DIED) 

For a moment I thought she was actually gonna guess star in the episode!

a) she had her legs absolutely straight throughout her exercises, boys. b) she also used her toes as fingers in that last exercise - remember, toes can grasp, too! Good try, guys.

one thing yall missed about the leg lifts is she's doing them against a wall, which means she isn't using any swinging motion to help :) this video really shows how specialized human bodies can be.

Y’all were very respectful and showed admiration towards Simone. I loved y’all‘s demeanor and humility, and deference to her accomplishments. I’ll be subscribing from now on. Definitely a joy to watch good people speaking highly of others. I am a 4‘10“ female and it is rare to see a man speak with respect about petite women.

Speaking as an ex-gymnast myself from MANY moons ago (20+ years) no one, absolutely no one, can understand how hard we train. It is brutal. You just touched on some of the exercises we have to do. Even most male gymnasts struggle with it. You did very well so pats on the back, guys!

You guys barely scratched the surface of her workout…

Simone makes it all look so EASY! It's criminal! She's such an amazing athlete. I'm glad to see you guys do them first so I don't hurt myself trying. :)

You fellas were respectful, humble and somehow, having a great time ! Chapeau to you both and awe and respect to Simone Biles.

You two are going into the deep end of the pool. Simone Biles is an athlete no one can match. A true undisputed GOAT. Her workouts are probably insane.

Simone biles does the V abs with the yoga block with her legs extended as well as the leg raises. bending the knees is an easier exercise

Thank you for featuring gymnastics strength and conditioning! ❤ Gymnasts don't mess around. Keep in mind too, that this will come at the beginning, ending, or both of practice. They still have to work vault, bars, beam, and floor!

Been watching since I was 134ib 16yo now I’m 21 190ibs about to graduate with my exercise science degree. Y’all were the inspiration. Stay Buff 💪

Everything about this looked miserable. Gymnasts are phenomenal athletes.

I hope Simone sees this 😂

She got functioning muscles, y’all got aesthetic muscles

I'm glad you guys were respectful instead of talking down about a woman athlete. 👍 Positive attitude is where it's at.

😂😂😂 I love the humor at the same time giving Simone her flowers genuinely. I’ll have to incorporate some of these techniques.

Simone is the GOAT. Watching these buff dudes struggle immensely with the pants exercise while she just does it so bouncily was awesome 😂

I love that yall break this down, bc people sleep on simone sometimes. When youre so consistently awesome people tend to think it must be easy. She works out this hard, everyday.

I'm so glad you guys tried Simones workout with humor and fun.

😂😂😂 this was mad funny 😂😂😂 Respect for tryin’ ANY of those core exercises… gymnast are pure BEASTS’

Yep! People take her workouts for granted…she makes it look easy😀

Geez! Hudson's eyes looked like they were going to pop. Never seen the buff dudes shake that much. Great challenge!

You guys didn't keep your legs out straight during rope climbs! 😂

Blonde guy barely took his shoulders off the floor in his V ups, didn't hold the L position in the rope climb, and took his pants off in a headstand, not a handstand- win clearly goes to the other one! Props to both of you for trying, as a lifelong gymnast and coach, most adults cannot do our workouts, even the fit adults. You did great!

As a dancer it would be so cool to see one of these for Rhythmic gymansts or like a professional ballet dancers workout.

Straighten your knees and point your toes 😉

The thumbnail is so good I thought you were actually going to have Simone there with you in person.

Simone is a BEAST!! Loved this video!

I don't even do gymnastics or anything like that but she is by far my absolute favorite gymnist to watch.

I so proud of Simone, she has been at high competition for over 11 years and very successfully!!!!

The thing I noticed most was the way Simone and the other gymnasts were always getting full extension in everything they do and all the guys would have something bent, like a knee or an ankle, really shows not just the strength of elite gymnasts but their range of motion and their extraordinary joint and ligament strength and flexibility, nothing uneven or "stuck" in them.

Great sports for trying Simone's workout! Credit where credit is due. Gymnast workouts are hardcore!

I’m a gymnast and can confirm. Core is easy. V ups are a fun relaxing day of conditioning and I’m not even at a high level

Honestly. i actually appreciate you making the effort to try this. it really spotlights how hard Simone works to be the best. Great vid. ❤

now you know why kids need to start young and develop skills as they grow. Trying to do advanced gymnastics calisthenics as and adult can be a challenge because of the under developed muscle groups.

Very entertaining! Such a tremendous difference from a normal workout to an Olympic workout. It's hard to grasp the level of effort an Olympian must have...

So much respect for the Buff Dudes for doing this workout. It's eye opening to get a glimpse into how hard Simone works out.

K- guy in the black tank top did not do those v sit ups properly - that was a v crunch. And he said the other guy was struggling! Well, yeah, if you do them properly you’ll struggle too!!

OMG what a INCREDIBLY TALENTED gymnast she is !! !!!

Simone is doing the rope in a perfect pike position - gotta straighten those legs, fellas! (I can't do any of it so hats off to you for even trying.)

I've never seen the "deadman's plank." Very interesting and might have to try it

I like how on the rope climb right out the gate how dedicated one of them was to trying to keep her form, while the other just noped out right away XD

Gymnast strength is no joke!

I'm curious which of these unique workout videos left you feeling the most sore or sore in the weirdest locations the next day.

The foam wasn’t between her feet, it was between her calves. That way she can keep her legs straight.

😂😂😂😂 you guys are so funny trying this out. I can’t lift my head, let alone my entire body. Much respect for your efforts.

These guys set high standards for themselves. Obviously, they’re in great shape. Their attempts at Simone’s workout is another testament to what an amazing athlete she is.

You know most gymnast do this workout. I was a gymnast for 15 years. Very elite level. Those press handstand that she’s doing where she’s straddling the bar and then presses up to a handstand strengthens your shoulders. Well, and your core strengthens everything actually. But your shoulders especially. We need strong shoulders. I was jealous 30 years ago. I was nowhere near Simones difficulty. The skill level has increased immensely since then. But for my time I was rather good.

I am dead. Just watching is more skill than I have. Simone Biles is the GOAT

Lol simone makes it look effortless too!

thoroughly impressed you guys managed as well as you did 🤣simone's dedication to her craft is beyond inspiring and gymnast pilates is no joke lol i'm glad she inspired you guys to try her workouts. she's tiny but mighty!

Love the idea of a video game stream, but in true Buff Dude fashion, Video game inspired workouts. Base a workout on something the video game character does or how they look. Kratos, Nathan Drake, Any of the Street Fighter characters, etc

This really makes you appreciate Simone’s strength. In all her exercises her feet don’t touch the ground during reps… that much harder boys. Great video.

I entered a martial arts tournament once and was the only 30 yr old to show up so I won 1st place, I didn’t parade around like I accomplished something. But if you don’t try and show up, you ll surely accomplish nothing.

I subbed! I was a gymnast from the age of 5 to 17 yrs old and cracked up at the ( We Died) it was my entire life working out (at age 5 my first badge I earned was after doing 75 sit-ups in 2 1/2 mins)lol and I enjoyed y'all very much. I'm 55 yrs old now still fit and y'all thank you for bringing me joy! Plano, TX

And this is why you don't see many gymnasts over 1.75m. Physics.

I have a new found appreciation for how difficult an Olympic athlete's workout routine can be. Good job buff dudes! Here's my videogame suggestion: when you start off in valheim you have to gather wood without tools. This means punching trees with your bare hands. Can the buff dudes cut down a tree by punching it?!

She’s phenomenal ❤

I'm glad you had a fun time filming this, it was fun to watch you give it a shot, good job!

You guys did way better than I thought you would. Good job!

And Simone does each exercise so effortlessly

Simone needs to see this!

You guys got my admiration and lots of laughs so this nearly 70s woman (who works out with a great buff trainer) subscribed! Did you do Venus or Serena or Megan Rapinoe? So many great American women athletes. It’s very cool and much appreciated to see two buff dudes having that kind of respect for a woman’s athleticism and workout. 😊

Bit of a massive clickbait thumbnail there. Thought you'd actually have her on thr video haha

One thing you guys missed is the importance of posture... Doing the exercises with the right posture, straight legs 😉what you are doing is what you're probably always doing ..powering through things

USAIN BOLT!!!!!!! YALL GOTTA DO THE GREATEST SPRINTER OF ALL TIME WORKOUT NEXT - LET'S GET IT!!!!

Definitely gives me a whole new appreciation for the amazing gymnasts, especially Simone.

I was a gymnast for 10 years and used to hate conditioning because it was just boring - not hard 😂 But we did this every day for an hour after training for 4 or 5 hours. Thank you for recognizing the training that goes into the sport!

I love these kinds of videos!!!! So interesting to see how different types of athletes excel or struggle with various exercises. I do circus, and specialize in aerial rope. I found their struggle with the foam block crunches particularly funny 🤣 we do those all the time except we HAVE to do them with straight legs holding the block with our ankles, and then do a full sit up with the 90° leg pike.

I need this motivation to get back in the gym

this def puts into perspective how much of an absolute UNIT simone is. these guys did well but def wouldnt be able to keep up with her. great vid!!

That’s a lot better than I could do! Also, now I know an exercise I can try with my yoga block. I bought it a few years ago but hadn’t gotten around to figuring what to do with it.

In all those exercises, gymnasts must keep their knees straight unless it is in a tuck position.

'A tool of death' 😂 😂 😂

I love this You guys should send this to Simone! She'd get a kick out of it! BTW - I give you two a giant A for effort!

Great video , you guys should do a series about workouts of Olympic athletes. Similar to what you collaborated with another channel a while back

This was so hilarious. And so respectful. Good job guys!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Simone is the GOAT!!!

You guys are simply the best. I can't wait for the fourth edition of your 12 week program.

First of all, I came across this video randomly, but I want to say hi to Brandon since we used to work together here in Los Angeles. I hope all is well, brother! I adore Simone & appreciate all that she’s done in our sport & for our sport as a terrific representative & role model for so many. Thank you, Simone! As a former elite gymnast, we do a ton of conditioning that is unusual for other sports since gymnastics (especially men’s gymnastics) requires so many different movements from other sport, in multiple planes, & requires support of your full body mass on your upper body. We always are taught to do these skills with our legs straight because that’s required in our routine, & “perfect practice makes perfect.” As was mentioned above, bending knees shortens the length of the lever & completely reduces the resistance & difficulty of the movement. Even the basic L sit hold on parallel bars is with legs straight & hips pressed forward between the hands vs hips behind the hands. One of the biggest challenges in the sport is keeping up strength & flexibility while constantly upgrading your routines & skills all while keeping injury free & minimizing fear of injury while doing these skills. The new equipment & better training environments are leaps & bounds ahead of where we were in the late 1970s when I first started the sport as a 4 year old. It’s amazing! Fun video. Keep up the good work, guys!

😂😂😂😂😂 that was very entertaining guys. So glad you like to test yourself just to see how much work our champions put in their training. First time watching and I kinda enjoyed the experience. Great stuff.

That was a great demonstration of the extreme workout Simone Biles does. I know the exercises are specific for gymnasts and they are weight trainers. but still, they are in better shape than 90% of the population and are accustomed to working out.

Thise v-ups with the foam blocks... every time you bend your knees you're making it easier.

First of all... in your rope climb you need to hold an actual pike position with your legs straight, together, and with toes pointed.

Really appreciate the respect you give her.

A navy admiral once commented that the perfect female SEAL would be an Olympic gymnast. The amazing upper body strength.

the rope that Simone was using to climb is a lot easier to grip than the one you guys used so bloody good effort lads.

‘A’ for effort! And this is why she’s the best 😂❤

well i'm adding deadman's planks to my workout now, thanks for that!

Much respect for trying

You cheated a lot, but at least you tried😂

As also an old ex gymnast we did v-ups, handstand pushups, lots of rope climbs with no legs floor to ceiling it was mandatory!; we did crazy stretches with mats! #texas

A Buff Dude Weekend with Hudson and Brandon yeeeeaaahhh!!! 💪💪

You should attempt these exercises for 30 days as a full routine with before and after pics, measurements and range of motion/flexibility so you have a starting benchmark.

They cheated on the last one!

You guys are so much fun😂❤ Simone is dynamite, unique paggage of power and talent in little body. Greetings from Finland🇫🇮

You guys should make a vide about bjj workout, it's an excellent cardio and an awesome therapy for me, I'm from Brazil and follow you since 2015, this is my favorite channel, thank you buff dudes!

I appreciate you paying homage to Simone. She's an American treasure 👍👍👍

Seriously guys, if you wanna do a Q&A while you're casually gaming and eating pretzels... I'm all down for it! XD

You had bent knees with some of those exercises. It's even harder with straight legs and pointed toes.
