Summary
$500 and citywide bragging rights went to Xtra Money after The Calisthenic Prince quit during the Empire State Classic main event in East Williamsburg.
A crowd of more than 200 watched the pair tackle 100 burpees, 50 muscle-ups, 75 dips and 75 squats with a 65-pound dumbbell, with Xtra Money pulling ahead as Prince faded.
The Prince struggled through dips, stopped on squats, then later appeared in tears on a livestream saying he regretted not "finishing his food" as followers turned on him.
Abu Asada, whose Team Work Horse went 2-0 that day, hailed Xtra Money for completing the routine and used the event to showcase the rising, social-media-fueled U.S. calisthenics battle scene.
