Ethan x Damien (2Panel) (Patreon)

While they're both technically working out near each other, they mostly do their own thing. Even afterwards there is definitely a sense of independence between them. We recently learned that they were actually once best friends, but things seemed to have changes since high school.

Damien is doing deadlifts, trying to beat his record. I used the strongman Eddie Hall, as reference for this, since he fits Damien pretty well. If you haven't seen him before, I suggest you Google him. Damien definitely looks up to strongmen and strives to be just like them. 

Ethan is doing hamster runs at a 40% incline which involves running self-propelled with the machine off to improve anaerobic endurance. It's said to be an excellent way to improve both explosive leg power, especially for soccer players.  I used a Noramco HS Elite Running Treadmill as reference and of course, since Ethan has no problems working out on the machines on the "large creatures" side of the gym with Damien, I made sure it was much bigger compared to him.
