What happens when you pit the 2017 Nutri-Grain Ironman Champion against a 4 time CrossFit Games athlete in the ultimate battle of the fittest? One hell of challenge!
The 2019 Men’s Health Challenge, kicking off in January, will put two of Australia’s fiercest competitors head-to-head in a 6 week training block. The athletes provide the workouts, and will battle it out in an epic deciding workout before one will be crowned winner.
Our first challenge will follow the fitness and training programs of two very different, professional athletes:
Khan Porter
4 x CrossFit Games athlete
Matt Poole
Ironman Champion
Khan and Matt will create and follow a 6-week training program, focusing on different aspects of human strength and endurance.
Men’s Health will be covering The Challenge form the get-go, bringing you Khan and Pooley’s workouts each week, meaning YOU get the chance to train along side these world-beating athletes. So pick a side, and get to the gym!
