The build-up
After a brief interview and a tense staredown, Chiara and Ambra prepare to go head-to-head in a series of strength challenges.
The first test is unique, with the girls standing back to back, testing their shoulders and arms to heat things up.
Strength trials with dumbbells
Then the competition gets serious: a stamina challenge begins with holding 7.5 kg dumbbells, followed by bicep curls. Push-ups are a must, and the sequence continues with shoulder presses using dumbbells.
The climactic showdown
The next endurance test, spanning two rounds, focuses on their steel-like abs as they lie flat on their backs with legs raised: who will hold out the longest?
Another endurance challenge with lighter dumbbells leads directly into arm wrestling from various positions, continuing until one of them secures a total of 12 points.
The victor, to add insult to injury, forces the defeated opponent to openly acknowledge her loss.
