The flies with what appear to be 35 lbs plates made my fingers ache watching.

It appears that beer may be the secret to recovery after a workout. Who knew?

Episode 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QBXhuc0iDY

In which Romain watches video of himself vaulting and talks a lot in French. His stuffed tiger has a message for everyone at the end (but sadly, it is also in French).

Episode 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fuzu14FH5wc

Eating food and sprinting. There are some funny scenes near the end where they are pole vaulting into the ocean. A tire is changed.

I have come to the conclusion that French guys rarely wear shirts when training.
