On Day 3 of training, the Austin crew was present at a local gym where Knut was supervising the group with the help of fellow trainers. While streaming, the OTK co-owner was tasked with doing a heavy barbell curl. The trainer instructed the content streator by saying:

"Now when you feel secure, they're gonna let go...we're just gonna hold it for five seconds."

Mizkif responded by saying:

"Okay, I'm secure."

"How'd that feel? That feel like death?"
