Ben Askren vs Zain Retherford: The Watermelon Challenge
Ben Askren vs Zain Retherford: The Watermelon Challenge
As everyone knows, Ben Askren is always up for a challenge (even if he isn't propositioned for one).
With Zain Retherford showing off his fruit-crushing strength, Askren decided to step up and try his hand at the "watermelon hug." But in true Funkmaster fashion, he added to the challenge and crushed two watermelons at once.
Not long after seeing what Askren brought to the table, Retherford upped the ante and crushed three.
Ok guys, we get it, you're strong.

Not long after I posted my watermelon video I was informed that someone had cracked two at once. Last time I did my watermelon challenge I used a tough variety of watermelon. This time I bought some from the store, I believe that they crack a lot easier, you can see juice dripping not long after I started to squeeze. This one is for the light weights, we may be small but it doesn't mean we aren't mighty! Here you go!
Ok guys, we get it, you're strong.
