i tried out for gladiators today at crunch fitness in manhatten.. was waiting out there forever.. got out kind of early tho.. i was number 83..there were thousands of people there and it was freezing cold.. werent too many big guys there tho..i was 1 of the bigger guys other than the guys coming in from agencies to try out to be gladiators.. there was a women thats the top ranked womens mma fighter in the country who wants to fite gina carano(crush) but she says crush's agents are ducking her so shes going after her this way.. she was a few people in front of me in line... it was a pretty cool experience overall tho... did any one else try out?

well mostly it was stand in the freezing cold and rain lol but then u go in and they have you do as many pull ups as u can in 30 seconds.. after that they make you do squat thrusts or blurpies whatever you wanna call them... where u squat and kick into a push up and stand back up.. had to do as many of those as you could in 30 seconds and then after that u had to do karaokes or whatever u wanna call them in a ladder on the ground 1 way down and back where u put ur 1 leg in front and then switch it to behind or whatever running sideways... after that u had to run suicides.. there is no rest in between and the suicides kill ya at the end especially because of the transition from the cold u were in for so long.. kinda kills your breathing.. but i think i did reallly well... we will see
