If you needed a reminder that dudes rock then you have come to the right place. These fellas have created a new ‘5 Guys Challenge’ with no relation to the burger chain.
Instead, it’s a 24-hour endurance challenge that requires the fellas drink 5 gallons of milk, do 5,000 push-ups, throw 500 high fives, catch 5 fish, run a cumulative 50 kilometers, hit 500 3-pointers on the court, and complete 5 video games.
Could You And The Fellas Complete The 5 Guys Challenge?
Around here, I love a good challenge. The 9x9x9 Fantasy Football Challenge I came across back in May was a personal favorite this year. That required a single dude (1) run 9 miles, (2) 9 holes of golf, (3) eat 9 donuts, (4) drink 9 shots of espresso, (5) 9 ski runs in Killington, Vermont, (6) 9 Zyns throughout the day, then he tacks on the (7) 9 hot dogs, (8) 9 beers, and (9) 9 innings of baseball in Boston at a Red Sox game. All in a day’s work!
This is a ‘5 Guys Challenge’ meaning there are 5 fellas involved. My two gripes here are (1) they should have incorporated a meal at Five Guys and (2) it should be 25 hours for an even 5 hours per guy.
This video comes from @lukaslogss on TikTok and the thing about a challenge like this is you need to be reasonably fit going into it. Nobody is collectively running 50K in 24 hours and doing 5,000 push-ups AND hitting 500 3-pointers without some base fitness. They’ve got that covered, obviously:
@lukaslogss 5 guys, 5 gallons of milk, 5000 pushups, 500 high fives, 5 fish caught, 50 k run, 500 three pointers, 5 video games one all in 24 hours #milk #pushupchallenge #motivation #fyp #viral
Boys will be boys. That’s exactly what this is. Guys being dudes. Living the dream. All of the above.
Why did they opt to drink the milk before basketball? We’ll never know. Milk is surprisingly hydrating. It would have made for a great post-workout drink. Also, why not chocolate milk?
All I need now is 4 friends to do this with me. Unfortunately, drinking 5 gallons of milk and running 50K in Florida during the Summer might kill my friend crew. I think I could handle it. My hydration vest would get me through the run. But I’d probably sweat out about 15lbs of water weight in the 100% humidity.
For me, the toughest part of this challenge would be the video games. How do you pick the right five?
