With the last four participants, they had to compete for the final quest.
Round 1 consisted of holding their torsos as long as they could. The weight of the torso was proportioned to everyone's body weight. In this challenge, only one contestant would be eliminated.

As the game started, Hong Beom Seok, Amotti, Justin Harvey, and Andre Jin got into position.
Hong Beom Seok's strategy was to use his body weight to counterbalance the weight of the torso.
After a few minutes, some of the contestants could feel their muscles getting strained.
While Amotti and Hong Beom Seok tried to keep their cool, Andre Jin and Justin Harvey struggled to find their pace.
Unfortunately, Justin Harvey couldn't keep up and lost the game.
In an interview, he admitted that he felt disappointed for losing, but at the same time, he didn't regret anything since he gave his 100 percent and made it to the top 4.
With one player gone, it was then up between the top three finalists.
Amotti, Andre Jin, and Hong Beom Seok faced the infinite squats challenge. The twist here was that they must carry over 140kg of coal and do squats as they hear the sound. The contestant who couldn't keep up with the pace or unable to carry the weight would be eliminated.
Amotti knew that the challenge was in the bag since crossfitters live and breathe squats.
Meanwhile, Hong Beom Seok knew that he was in big trouble since squats were not his thing.
At this point, it was Andre Jin who lost the momentum and got eliminated.
The last and final quest was pole pushing. Here, the two contestants would hold on each end of the pole and push it at the same time. The player who would knock over his post would win the game.
Hong Beom Seok won the first round, which made Amotti desperate to win the last two.
Interestingly, the crossfitter changed the game and won the last two rounds.
