Watch season 2 now on the Olympic Channel! bit.ly/2GuxUvm

Ok so I'm a wrestler and I always thought that every other sport wasn't nearly as hard. During the summer, I got a job as a lifeguard and I life guarded at a facility where teams come to swim. Many college teams swim there and elite swimmers, Olympians as well. Overtime, I saw how tough swimming was. Anyways, one of the coaches there was a genuine guy and coached many Olympians. I always used to talk to him and one timed he asked if I played any sports and I said I wrestled. Usually people say wow that's a tough sport, but not him. I said to him a little while later, " swimming is a tough sport. Takes a lot of endurance" and he said to me and I will never forget," any sport can be tough. Any sport can be easy. It all depends on how hard you are willing to work. If you go into a tough sport like wrestling and don't wrestle hard then it won't be a tough sport for you" Ever since he said that to me I've always worked hard at every single wrestling practice and I have come to respect all sports no matter the intensity. Idk if any of you will get something out of this but I did. Hopefully someone else does as well.

Update: Enzo won an individual world title in Budapest in 2019 and led team France to a gold medal in team men’s foil at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Congrats to Enzo!

so many people are getting pissed and saying "now make the fencer do the bodybuilders workout". the video was made to prove that you don't need muscles to be successful if you're willing to put in the work to do what you want, in this case fencing, not to make the bodybuilder look weak, although that's an unfortunate side effect.

Enzo´s ability to run with that weight attached to him surprised me. These guys are really well rounded.

That fitness dude is actually pretty great (especially compared to th rest). He held his own, was nice and geniune, did pretty good, allaround everything was good. This was a great video!

I would've never expected any of the brothers from Buff Dudes to be on the olympics channel

that's the difference between doing sports and going to the gym

buff dudes approved. good job Brandon!

I'm a judoka. Weight training and high-intensity interval training are part of my routine. I never thought fencers train so intensely. I used to think... Nevermind. Some things are better kept to myself.

Stop saying that Brandon the buff dude doesn't have any cardio strength... He was against an Olympian who is twig size he just looks out of shape in comparison but he's in great cardio shape compared to the average American

HE LOOKS LIKE CHIEF HOPPER FROM STRANGER THINGS

Even though I like Buff dudes, Broscience would have been perfect 😂 😂

watching this just puts a smile on my face. that dude makes fencing look so cool.

so this is how obi wan became a jedi

Now they should have "Can an Olympic fencer survive a KZfaq Bodybuilder's workout"

I have been fencing saber for 5 years and been competing for 3 years. In the space of that time, I have been on the England team 3 times but still struggle to have the confidance to keep going. Sometimes I want to give up but then I realised that i spend six hours a week training so i'm not just going to quit like that.

Now do this with an Olympic long distance runner

Enzo left Brandon hanging when he asked for a high five, so Brandon the high gives himself ahahha

This is one of my favourite events to watch in the olympics but it never gets air time.

Great video. Very interesting. No need for haters. This video shows the difference between working out at a gym and sport specific fitness. Not even the difference between bodybuilding because that too is a sport that requires specific training.

Hey it's the buff dude!! Was a good sport throughout the whole video.

Nice one! Having Brandon for this was a great choice, such a cool dude! Love their channel

I just absolutely love this channel! Nothing but pure and quality content. Every single time!

Both of them have hard hard work and effort put into results. That's what you need to learn from this, nothing else :)

I fenced on a competetive level for nearly 6 years. It´s requires you to be explosive but have endurance at the same time.. Fencing is however far from the most physically demanding sports. I played hockey for many many years and without a doubt hockey is so far the most physically demanding sport I've tried out. As reference all sports I´ve ever done for a period of 6 months or more are listed below: Boxing Tennis fencing climbing icehockey Floorball Soccer American football Jui jutsu Karate Judo Powerlifting Weightlifting In terms of injuries, I contracted the most injuries while playing american football (which I still am) and Powerlifting. When it comes to what translate best to other sports I´d say weightlifting in combination with boxing are the best the sport that requires the most mentality is probably icehockey. Super fast game where you constantly need to keep track of your teammates. Not sure why I decided to tell you guys this ;) But here you go, let me know if you agree or disagree or have any questions-

I’m rlly impressed with Brandon like his form is pretty good!! I’m a saber fencer and a lot Ppl r terrible at keeping from the first time and his is not bad!!

I'm so glad I stumbled across this channel. I recently have taken up boxing and I've noticed that I have the endurance to make it through all rounds but I dont have the strength. I admire every trait in athlete and everyone has a special talent in them. This is very inspiring.

Now let's see the fencer bench 315, squat 475 and deadlift 545.

Now get the fencer to deadlift 600lbs

BUFF DUDES

And there is the difference between real sports and fitness center-kids they are strong, but they can't use it in other ways than trained in the gym in real sports you train your whole body at almost the same time , but in fitness center you train small areas of your body

This deserves more views

This is a pretty cool way for the Olympics to promote their channel. I'm digging it!

Fun video. I like seeing you guys joke around and having fun.

athletes are amazing the amount of hardwork and dedication they put in is out of this world

major props to the fitness guy for the lack of ego and for putting himself out there for (possible) failure. cheers

The key is to incorporate many different forms of excercise into your life. That way youre not way strong, but have no endurance, or the other way around. Also depending on whether you're competing or not, and what you're competing in you'll obviously focus on that, but doing other types of excercises definitely complements your sport. I used to play soccer competitively and complimented that with cross country type training, some weight lifting (even though I wasn't very good), swimming and yoga . now I kickbox competitively and do weights on the side (still not great) and lots of sprint work, long distance running and pilattes.

In my opinion it was a little bit off to get a muscular guy and a fencer. It would be great if this dude (or similar) tried to take olympic ring gymnast. These dudes are beasts and it would make more sense to see the comparison between them ;). Hope you guys will manage something like this. Anyway, amazing and interesting video.

Great video. I respect both of these very different athletes.

What an awesome and friendly video! great work guys!

10:04 some weight disappear:D

The real question is can the Olympic athlete survive Buff Dude's workout? That sled looked rough.

As both a fencer, and a subscriber to Buff Dudes (the youtube channel of the Fitness KZfaqr) I can say that this video was very entertaining for me to watch!

Great video guys. Keep it up!

Ha! I suggested on the Buff Dudes channel that they do some Olympic cross-training during the summer! Glad to see that pay off!

I would love to see the fencer do parkour or parkour expert does fencing! I feel like it would be interesting to see the footwork and technique.

awesome video looking forward to seeing more

Buff Dudes are great! Glad to see them getting more exposure and recognition

Great video, don't feel bad that fencing guy seems to be an awesome all around sport champion.

I'd love to see a video like this with Jeff Cavaliere

this was a great watch, i love how dedicated the both of them are haha as a side note, what kind of pants is brandon wearing?

I'm 12 I do a lot of this stuff in fencing and I'm getting ready to go practice as I'm watching this XD but the advancing/retreat drills on the railroad track is PURE GENIUS.

I remember when I first started out fencing (I do epee fencing) I was so sore the next day, I couldn't even get out of bed the next day 😂

Buff Dudes!!

I love these videos!

I'm just impressed by the thin trained people, like this Olympian. No big muscles to show off, all in long curves, but man that cardio and that strenght, too !!

I have to say that Brandon's foot work isn't all that bad for a complete newbie. I haven't taken the time to look at any of the comments so I don't know if he had a lot of time to prep... but it was nice to see him get humble pretty quick. Great video.

*walks across 15 ft. beam* "This is really a testament to your hard work"

This is so cool and such a good example of great sportsmanship.

people assume guys with better physique should be better at sports because a good physique signals strength on subconscious level(even though fat powerlifters are stronger than bodybuilders).they get intimidated by good aesthetics. you never see those losers compare curlers to swimmers.the reason you almost always see people comparing bodybuilders to athletes is that they feel insecure about the way they look. so they have to to find a physical activity they are better at than bodybuilders to feel better and try to improve their social status among good looking men. it is very instinctive if you ask me...

fencing is a very fun sport, i would definitely recommend

Anyone here after Enzo won the Budapest World Championship?

well done guys. Both showed real class

This is awesome. Great to see. We are struggling to put our fencing program together.

I think I want to try fencing now... Buff Dudes rule!

Hey Brandon I loved you in the role of the cop in Stranger Things

Congratulation Enzo for winning World Championship this year

I wanna see summer and winter olympians come together and trades places for an entire day. Like volleyball does gymnastics, rowing does ice skating, etc, etc. Whatever sport they are in they have to switch and do their exercise routines for an entire day to see if they could survive. That would be interesting to see.

Buff dude 💪🏻💪🏻

All sports take different levels of strength and cardio. Both are impressive in what they do

I love how Homer is just relaxing in the back

love how he put coach kit on XD though i can see why with those beautiful flicks

It is a different type of workout to what the youtuber does sadly.

I have two friends trained for sports, one had won a U16 world champion and another one did not, both of them were training very hard, in my memory their entire childhood were between school and their train place, but none of them had a chance to be selected into national Olympic team. That is hard.

adding these to my workout

I don't get this video. At most we get to see a fraction of fencing training. When you put someone in unfamiliar territory of course they'll look awkward. It's like asking the fencing dude to dead lift 500 lbs.

How much does that fencer bench though?

not even a fair comparison they are all bodyweight exercises so having loads of muscles makes it harder

dang alot of people can't just enjoy two people comparing different workouts. I'm pretty sure both of them know that they can't do the others respective workouts because they don't have to. this is just a fun video to watch. no need to argue over who is better than the other

now do this with rhythmic gymnastics

rowers workout!!

amazing balance drills there

Great job Brandon, Buff dudes represent!

Brandon was holding back and now tell enzo to squat 500lbs.

ayyyy buff dudes

still can't believe that they filmed some of this where I used to fence ahahah

Improvements from Bosu ball training has been shown to be very specific to unstable surfaces - therefore not practical for use on a flat surface where fencing takes place.

I have an athlete friend and he trains 5 hours every day, some athletes up to 8 hours, there is no way for a fitness youtuber who trains 1-2 hours just for a healthy life style to be able to beat a real athlete. But I will see the video just now and see what happens xD

When you are french and you understand everything ;)

And now he is a world champion

love their humorous attitude

Buff dudes!

Dean Nunziato, I applaud you. I completely agree with that coach. It's true. Every sport could be hard, but only if you try hard.

I need to show these exercises to my team XD

Brandon doesn't seem like he has a V-neck personality.

Im sure all the other fencers on here would agree that if he had him realearn to"walk" the whole time he wouldnt have made it past the first hour.

Good job,i am a fencer from Serbia and some of my friend telling me everyday that they can do same as me on training like this guy :-)

Now imagine doing the whole sport with five layers on. That is the life of a fencer.

holy god, that KZfaqr has a bicep for his bicep
