ICYMI: Hunter McIntyre Busts Steve Austin's Skullbuster
This week's In Case You Missed It featuring Sam Dancer squatting 500x6, Hunter McIntyre's insane performance at Steve Austin's Skullbuster, Mohamed Ehab, and Olympic champion Kianoush Rostami!
There's a whole lot of awesome stuff on the internet, and it's easy to miss stuff among all that radness. Lucky for you, we've got you covered. Here are some of the coolest things to catch up on from the past week:
If you don't watch "Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge," you should start. It's equal parts UFC, American Gladiator, and American Ninja Warrior. Basically, it's awesome. The current reigning champion heading into this season is Hunter McIntyre, one of the best obstacle course racers in the world. On "Broken Skull Challenge," the champion gets to set the time to beat on the show's obstacle course, the Skullbuster, and that's the time every other contestant who gets that far must try to beat.
This season's Skullbuster is the craziest one yet with rope climbs, monkey bars, and freezing cold water. McIntyre destroys it:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: While all CrossFit Games athletes are amazing, Sam Dancer can do things that no other athlete in that position can even come close to achieving. This is one of those things.

Snatch + Snatch balance + Overhead squat. Your turn!

It's not surprising to me that a man who can clean and jerk 217kg/478lb at 85kg/187lb bodyweight can rock out some legless rope climbs without much trouble. Maybe the 2016 Olympic Champion wants to try his hand at fitness for a little bit?
