The Buff Dudes take on one of the toughest fitness challenges that they have faced.
Fitness superstars The Buff Dudes have become extremely popular thanks to their YouTube channel showcasing different athletic challenges. From insane workouts to long-term projects, brothers Hudson and Brandon White have pushed themselves to the limit many times. They might have found a new level after taking on a workout they have deemed “the toughest fitness test on Earth.”
In their recent video, The Buff Dudes take on The Hotshot 500.
What Is The Hotshot 500?
We have seen some intense workouts that challenge the body in everyday possible. Liver King has introduced his Barbarian workout where you wear a 70-pound backpack and 20-pound ankle weights, hold 70-pound kettlebells, and pull a 120 pound sled for one mile.
The Hotshot 500 was created by the Interagency Hotshot Crew, which is a group of woodland firefighters who work in some of the most remote parts of the nation.
The workout is a six-mile hillside hike that features 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 flutter kicks, 100 shoulder presses, 50 rows, 50 curls, and 50 burpees. If this is not enough, you must complete all of this while wearing a 50-pound backpack.
“You can take the Buff Dudes out of the gym but you can’t take the gym out of the Buff Dudes,” Brandon White said.
The Buff Dudes Take On The Hotshot 500
The Buff Dudes begin their journey with a half-mile hike before hitting 50 push-ups. After another half mile, they bang out the 100 squats and continue on. The White brothers went into this mission with strategy as they know it is going to be one of the most difficult things they have done while exercising.
“I’ve done heights. I’ve done elevation. Of course, I’ve done squats but I’ve never done both at the same time,” Hudson White said.
The hike continues as the brothers take down the final 50 push-ups, along with the flutter kicks and shoulder presses. Once they reach the peak, The Buff Dudes take a short break to look out at the view before knocking out the 50 burpees. Finally, they begin heading back down to the bottom.
“This is taxing, man. I am hitting muscle fatigue. My muscles are burning, they’re failing. It really pushes you to the limit. My chest feels like it is tearing in half,” Hudson White said.
The Buff Dudes have built impressive physiques and endurance thanks to a lot of training in unique ways. After watching them take down the Hotshot 500, it is clear that this is no ordinary workout.

Fitness Stars The Buff Dudes Show Changes To Physique After Running Everyday For 30 Days
The Buff Dudes spent 30 days preparing for a 10k and chronicled how it changed their physiques.
Fitness influencers all around the world have been attempting difficult trends within fitness to challenge themselves in different ways. Fitness stars The Buff Dudes, brothers Brandon and Hudson White, are no different. They have been seen doing some wild stunts on their YouTube page. Recently, the brothers spent a month training for a 10k and kept track on how the running changed their physiques.
Cardio is not the preferred method of training for bodybuilders and they do not usually fare well during his portion. The Buff Dudes keep cardio in their regimens but decided to kick it up a notch over the course of 30 days.
Both Brandon and Hudson White reveal that they are not changing their training in the gym. They are keeping their similar workout plans while adding a run every day for a month. This causes extra strain on their lower half.
“My legs are killing me on these runs. The good thing is my cardiovascular strength is there. I feel very strong there but I’m working out pretty regularly and the workouts are strenuous. I’m definitely feeling the fatigue in my muscles,” Brandon White says.
What was the overall result?
The Buff Dudes make sure to keep their level of stretching up over the course of this month. They also focus heavily on nutrition to recover muscles and remain mobile. Hudson White continues to explain some of the difficulties that were faced.
“I’m used to the gym where you’re doing eight reps of deadlift then you get a nice, healthy break there before continuing onto the next set. With this, there are no breaks and it can be so psychological because I want to quit by the end of that first half mile and I still know I’ve got a long way to go.”
Cardio has been known to help athletes remain lean. They build cardiovascular strength and stamina, which is beneficial when performing certain exercises. So, what happened to these brothers after running for 30 days in a row?
Brandon and Hudson White reveal at the end that they each lost one pound from the beginning of the month. They are leader than they were but did not lose gains over the course of 30 days. What The Buff Dudes showed is that performing cardio daily will bring many benefits without losing that muscle mass.
“That was humbling. Hell of a lot of fun though and it only makes you want to get better,” Hudson White said.
