That’s really a shame about the 500 deadlift and sub 5 mile, that journey would have been really fun to watch.
What does he care about getting clicks and views, he already has money right? Nick, why not just give us the good stuff and let us watch you chase that 500lb/sub5? There’s no way you actually enjoy making piñata videos, so idk what the problem is here. The 500/sub5 was a fantastic direction for the channel, a lot of us who don’t run anymore have picked up lifting as an athletic pursuit as well, so most of your viewership is double into it as well. And how interesting to watch someone figure out the training for such an absurd event.
The only thing I can think of is that Nick realized he couldn’t do it. Idk if it’s age or whatever but I personally know some people who could do it, within a year of training too, and they’re definitely not olympians so it makes me wonder what’s up.
Perhaps nick is too good at distance running to be able to pull it off, that’s the only thing I can think of. To be as good as him at 800/1500 maybe requires a certain muscle fiber makeup that just won’t get to a 500lb deadlift. Still tho. He’s an literally an Olympian, and I know some ex runners who could do this easy.
