Rob Gronkowski’s 36-Year-Old Brother Takes Down Bodybuilding Trainer in Intense Wall Burpee Challenge

When we mention the name Gronkowski, immediate attention is drawn toward Rob Gronkowski. The 4-time super bowl champion has done well to be remembered quite fondly having played at the tight end for the Patriots and the Bucs. But he isn’t the only famous Gronk in the family nor among the band of brothers. Chris Gronkowski is still relevant in the news with his ventures off-field after leaving Pro Football.

Chris Gronkowski left the sport early having played just 4 years at the top level. Even during his time at the NFL, he did not manage to settle with one team, instead playing for a different team in each of his four years. Having left the sport he turned to other options to renew his name. But is it enough to climb out of his younger brother’s shadow?

In an Instagram post uploaded on Onnit, we see Chris take on Jordan Cardona in a fitness challenge. The post does not have any audio, just the caption hyping up both Jordan and Chris as they begin the challenge. The two athletes compete in a wall Burpee challenge. The challenge pushes the individuals to complete a burpee after passing the ball to the other trainer.

After both Jordan and Gronk push hard in the opening rounds, Jordan starts to run out of steam while Chris continues to push. Eventually, Chris completes 18 burpees whereas Jordan could only manage 17. The reel concluded after Chris Won the challenge. The fans posted comments humorously questioning who lost the bet and other comments.

“Dude in the blue didn’t complete any burpees” one fan commented, aiming at Chris.

“Always bet on Gronk” commented another fan.

Chris, brother of Rob Gronkowski talks about the greatest advice he ever received

Chris launched “ice shaker” in conjunction with Mark Cuban. But the beginning wasn’t as smooth as one would have thought. In an article published on CNBC, Chris talks about his enthusiasm, “It was a brand new company, we were building it from the ground up, I had all this confidence that it was the best thing in the world.”

Chris goes on to talk about the reality of his business as he ordered 10,000 units upon launch. Continuing in the same article published on CNBC, Chris remembers when Gordon Gronkowski stepped in to help him. “He was the one who talked me down, and said, ’Hey, you don’t have any customer loyalty, you don’t have a brand yet, you have no reviews — no matter how great you think your product is, no one else knows about it,” Chris says. “It’s not just going to happen over night. For me that was definitely the biggest and best advice I got.

Chris may have seen a short career in the NFL with just 4 years. But his partnership with Mark Cuban on “ice shakers” as well as his stake in the family business is set to put him on the map for the long run.
