What happens when you pit the 2017 Nutri-Grain Ironman Champion against a 4 time CrossFit Games athlete in the ultimate battle of the fittest? One hell of challenge!
The 2019 Men’s Health Challenge put two of Australia's fiercest competitors head-to-head in a 6 week training block, and now, it’s time to pit them against each other.
Our first challenge followed the fitness and training programs of two very different, professional athletes; Ironman Matt Poole and CrossFit champ Khan Porter.
Now, the lads will get a taste of their own medicine as they battle it out in two very different workouts. You picked your side 6 weeks ago, now we see who comes out on top!
Proving he is still at the top of the Aussie CrossFit scene, Khan puts Pooley through this absolute high intensity scorcher. We could feel our lungs burning just watching this bad boy. You have 20 minutes to complete 10 thursters and 10 burpees every 2 minutes. In your ‘rest’ time you have to push yourself to complete as many calories on an Assault Bike as possible, with your total calories being your score.
That’s 1 point to the CrossFit King, Khan.
