WE REACT: The My First Muscle Results ARE IN
About this video
Sam and Shaan review submissions from their “My First Muscle” fitness challenge (100 burpees, 100 push-ups, 100 squats) and announce winners across categories including fastest male and female times (winning cold plunges from Plunge), and creative/inspirational entries (winning Nike gear). They react to standout videos highlighting impressive performances, creative costumes, and personal stories from participants.
Key takeaways
- Sam and Shaan’s challenge attracted thousands of submissions with notably fast completion times—the fastest male finisher (Will Brun) completed it in 8 minutes 6 seconds, while the fastest female (Jenna Stark) finished in 8 minutes 58 seconds, both significantly faster than the hosts’ own times of ~20 and ~34 minutes respectively.
- Breaking the challenge into 10-rep increments appeared to be faster than larger rep groupings, and form varied widely among participants—some used optimal CrossFit techniques while others prioritized speed over form, creating judging considerations for winners.
- Beyond raw speed, the hosts valued community engagement and creativity, awarding prizes to participants who demonstrated costume originality (Manifest Cowboy), inspiring stories (woman who completed the challenge 2 months post-surgery on one leg), and cinematic video production (drone footage on a mountain with weighted vest).
