      I used to own those monkey bars back when I was a kid, lol.

    For the blisters inside your hands, clean with antibacterial soap like Hibiclens, apply some povidone-iodine like Betadine, then apply sterile gauze inside the hand, and wrap it. Take off the gauze and wrapping at night so the wounds dry. Repeat the next day. Should be fine in 2 weeks. 👌

      Aquaphor bro - apply it several times a day and you'll be back on the bar in 2-3 days

      What about foot blisters ?

      Not ever use betadine on open wounds. It’s terrible for the underlying tissue and will definitely prolong the healing time. Just use soap and warm water, if not that, use benzalkonium chloride.

    • @carolemerle9995

      No, not Betadine. That stuff dries out your hands.

  • @EmperorPrinc3
    @EmperorPrinc3 3 роки тому +164

    You guys only did 3 obstacles...
    There's 9 total at the Rak playground.
    Now do all 9 of those obstacles 9 times while also running around the Rak pit after each completed obstacle.
    We call that the tourture course. Take around 1 hour to complete. It's even more fun when it's raining.
    101st Screaming Eagles!!!
    2-506th Currahee!!!

    Austen never hit the walls with his foot first. Used upper body strength. Wow. On the monkey bars, the most important thing is to have a forward, controlled body swing. I use to be good at this type of thing. But now at 79 years old, when I get pumped up to go and do some type of exercise after watching these videos, I go and get a candy bar and rest, the feeling soon goes away .

  • @breadpirateoverhere

    Dude Austen straight up just doing pull ups over those walls geeze. HOLY SHIT man Austen you CRUSHED that course so hard. I couldn't believe it, insane feat of strength god damn.

    I love watching these challenge videos. But it's always fit people taking them on. I'm thinking about starting a second channel where I take on these challenges as a totally normal hefty dude with a gold standard dad bod to prove to the couch warriors who think they can do these.... really can't. lol Good job!

    I did this course wayyyy back in 2001. It was far harder back then, because you had an instructor screaming in your ear and doing pushups after every obstacle! I think they cut that part out, because the failure rate was HUGE back then. By the time I graduated, I HATED the words Air Assault lol.

    • @JustThePR

    Using the rope on the transition like you did was exactly what I was thinking when he said it'd make the transition harder using the bars. Nice call.

    Good job on the bars. It’s way harder than it looks expecially if youre over 200. The key is to keep the momentum going forward. If you stop it’s way harder on the grip.
