For refernce, a perfect score for the marines for pullups on the PFT (Physical fitness test) is 8 - 12 for females (depends on age) and 20 - 23 for males (also depends on age)
During covid lockdowns when they closed gyms I started doing push ups throughout the day whenever I would get a glass of water or walk out of my chair when working I would do 25-50 reps depending on how fresh I felt and then get like at least 200 push ups a day. During the lunch breaks and in the evening I would do some random pull up scheme and was able to go between 15-20 strict form slow and controlled no cheating at 100 kg / 225 lbs. Would like to test out for one of those marine tests once since my condition has improved a lot as well since then!
I'm 73. Vietnam vet. I do 4 sets of 10 when I go to the gym as part of my workout. Also jog daily. It's important to keep working your body not just when you are young.
A while back I was with this girl I really liked and we went to a military festival and sort of a date. We had a great time handling the equipment, learning about service, and climbing into vehicles together. The Navy was holding a pull-up contest at the festival and the girl I was with was interested. I was more interested in the other stuff and suggested we keep checking out the area, but she insisted and pulled me over where people were jumping up and repping it out. I think the record was around 20 that day. She jumped up to the bar and couldn't do one without the help of an officer. After she hopped down I told her it was fun and that we should go look around. But she really wanted to see how many I could do. I wasn't too interested, but again, she pulled me toward the bar. However, she thought I was just a skinny white boy and had no idea I was an athlete that grew up doing a whole lot of calisthenics. I finally relented and hopped up and once I started, she and the officers were surprised by how I glided my chest to the bar. We had to count or reps out loud and at around 15 reps, a lot of other people started to take notice and at 20 a small crowd had began forming. When I got to 25, the crowd had grown pretty big and the people had began counting for me. I hit 29 and then fell into a dead hang at the bar. I was pretty fatigued, but the sixty-or-so people in the crowd looked at me with hopeful eyes. Gazing back at them I dramatically called out. "I'm beat. I can't do anymore... but I'm gonna do one more!" And squeezing my lats, my chest made it to the bar and the crowd actually cheered. The girl I was with was wide-eyed. She couldn't believe what had just happened. I couldn't really, either. And of course, the officers swarmed me afterwards. haha This was a super cool experience. I'm really grateful it happened. Seeing these contests almost always makes me think back to that moment.
How about military personnel VS. People doing burgers, rope climbing, behind the neck pull-up up...with 2 people holding a bar above their heads, then someone has to do a behind the neck pull up & then hang from the back of their neck from the bar. Regardless of if someone's on HD or PD & has Type 1 Diabetes. after both have trained and are ready to demonstrate what they are going to do. Including having rules like: * No matter WHAT...Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you!!!
Or people doing Burpees, Rope Climbing w/out using their feet to assist them with climbing up the rope. Having 2 people hold a bar over their heads as someone does a behind the neck pull-up then hangs from the back of their neck. Even though the person has Type 1 Diabetes, ESRD, has done HD & PD.
holy shit bro seeing those girls get so many at the end is so inspiring especially because their upper bodies aren't that big compared to what i would have thought i'd need to get to for that. i hope i can be that strong one day
I’m 205 lbs and can get about 15 pull ups (last PFT but probably more now). I can always get a few less in boots and utes. It adds more weight than you’d think.
Awesome. I' m an Officer Specialist in the German Armed Forces/-Army. I appreciate the Marine Guys and you very (Also all fof your Service Members, Police, EMT, and all First Responders, ...) much. Good Job and maybe I see you on one of my TRAVELS in the US... .
Whoever's is reading this, I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is to be fine and that everyone has a bright day ! Amen
Not to brag, but I have been doing pull-ups for 40 years. My record is 57 in one set. Now that I am 65 I can only do 53. Still, not bad for an old man.
@@en2p187 I’m almost 5’9 idk what you’re doing wrong, but what I did was negatives. Like I’d jump up to the bar, and go down slowly. I’d usually do 12 reps, and 3 to sometimes seven 7 sets. Occasionally I’d do rows also. Right now I do 3 sets of chin-ups, 3 sets of pull-ups, and then 3 sets of neutral pull-ups to failure on each set. So you could try that. Also, pull-ups take time. It took me about 2 months of inconsistent trading to get to 1. I train more consistently now
Cheap technique using the rocking. You want to see pure stretch locking out at the bottom and not using momentum. Im surprised as a civilian I can smoke most of them with a purer form.
It was a very long time ago but I'm sure 14 pullups was the male entry into Australian Defence Force, at least when I did it in '97 (I think female was 7) I could be wrong though, it was a lifetime ago.
they all have BAD FORM and didn't do the PULL UPS PROPERLY ! it was horrible watching , ONLY ONE GUY had perfect FORM and was doing the PULL UPS correctly
@@artyomarty391 I'm not. What I'm saying is on every Marine Corps base, 90% of the people can do 3 or more pullups. It is part of their physical fitness test.
I can't believe that the u.s marines can't do more than 25 pull ups in a good form ! i'm asthmatic and i do 32 pull ups just to warm up before doing bodybuilding and calesthenic , 87 kgs 182 cm by the way .
When I was active in the Core back in the 90’s, I could do 19 consistently, but I could do 19 overhand, underhand, wide grip or narrow grip and also behind the head. Never could break the magical 20 mark. Now over 50, 4-5 is my limit and have to watch positioning as neck, wrist and elbow injuries come into play. My daughter is 10, she can do 3-4.
I need to begin training so I'll eventually be able to do archer pull ups, behind the neck pull-ups then hang from the back of my neck on a pull-up bar. That's either being held up overhead by 2 people or that's not held up by 2 people.

yea see my problem would be the insane cardio lol
28 is my max

not sure the weight but we had a uk ex forces at the dive shop jumped up with two 12 ltr tanks strapped on him and rattled out twenty reps on a bar.

Those women were insane for getting 18-20 reps. Respect 🫡
Were they both actually women?

@@bamspayis it rlly that hard to figure out

Neither of them actually did any real reps tho Kipping up a freaking tornado. 0, 0, 0, 0. We throw around “insane” nowadays for mediocre performance.

Ever thought about writing a book about that experience? 💪🏽
Wholesome story 👍🏻
I agree, and I enjoyed reading this immersive experience also. 30 in one shot is very impressive 👏
....and then you woke up
This story had me on the edge of my seat. Great job 🫡🫡
Man we need more of these military challenges on the channel haha
Why lol I'm halfway through and they don't do anymore reps than the random people walking out of Planet Fitness 😂 are these definitely Marines?

Holy Cow that officer! Strong af
That’s muscle endurance
Those 2 girls doing 20 and 18 is absolutely insane
Embarrassing most guys
Stan did 7 reps.
No Destiny did 6 reps.
Andrew did...11 reps.
Wilson did...7 reps.
lmao i love the voice change w the edits "YOU LIED TO ME" "IS THAT KIP?"

Hi, you guys . I can't believe all the views with the shorts . Keep up the good work. You are making it.
Thanks Jill!
01:44 you need to make this into a shirt 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the military forces push-ups, pull-ups and similar calisthenics. Truly the best workouts.
mad respect for alex!!
Yeah 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Austen manages to be the biggest troll and the nicest person at the same time
They are all Kipping like crazy, none of those would count, arms all the way locked out and no bicycling or kipping, for the marines atleast.
6:09 pullups and then chinups?? 😂😂😂
THANK Y’ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE💪🇺🇸
0:27 LOL I just busted out laughing when that skinny dude said "easy" 15.
He's a new Marine he's still learning how to be a Good marine I guarantee he will not be that skinny by the time he hits Sgt or Corporalt
@@chinopopapill5848 he still did more than the majority of built dudes
"When in doubt, pull it out"- Austen
Sanches changed pull up grip. Change of muscle group from back to bicep. Either genius of cheat😆👍
Watching your videos is just happiness
Yo these girls are strong 💪. I don’t feel bad about paying taxes now 🤣
Were they both really girls, though?
6:47 damn that’s so impressive
Tough & sympathetic bunch of great women & men 🇺🇲 and Austin 😉 Great video, once again 👏🏼
4:31 started very good and then with that head jerking kipping motion. Not clean reps
5:23 female 6:20 male are using different grips

I knew the officer would crank out at least 20.
The officer and mr. Shancez are my fav😚🥰
A clean rep does not involve head movement at all!
"when in doubt, pull it out" 😆
Half assed! If you're not going all the up,it doesn't count. If you gotta tilt your chin up then you're cheating.
Need to get that battle bus brought out to Australia🤞🇦🇺
I fell in love with the officer CODY,love u man
Your editor kills this lmfao
As the son of a Sargent Major with 4 purple hearts, my Dad served 30 years in the USMC. I was proud to watch this video

and you didnt lol. i can guarantee you cant do 57 in one go@@winstonclark6250

11 is good.
Most people can't do that.
@@theeternalgus9119 my goal rn is 20. It’s kind of a long term goal.

“Oooh.. corpsman” you wanted her to know you know your shit 😂😂
Damn, a good reminder how strong military women are.
Sanchez switched to chin ups from pull ups but the women did not. Were they not allowed to? I'm just wondering...
The edits make me think my computer is skipping
you should ask some rock climbers to do pull ups
These videos make me want to work out 😩 I feel so weak
Thank you all for your service 🙏
Marines are used to going for extremes and not getting payed a dollar more for all the effort! 💪🏻
Alex was amazing with 20 reps!
So much kipping
Well, everybody kipping the moment you’re almost at your strain method

Hanging outside of a gym on Marine base, you won't find many people that aren't in shape.
The asian guy with glasses had the best form
I noticed that too, super clean pullups
Alex & Julia… More than amazed‼
Thanks for your service guys
Pull up ?
Why not something different, like front lever raise, inverted deadlift, front lever pull up, or even muscle up or weighted pull up ?
7:32 Nice to see someone from my little state give it a try lol.
Pull ups and chin ups are pretty different btw
My favorite one so far
C'mon Bro, these Marines are POGs. You need to take your show to 2nd Battalion 9th Marines. They will give you a minimum of 20 reps.
Eventually I will overcome, prevail against my negative triggers.
One of only a few places in America where 9 out of 10 people that walk by can do more than 3 pullups.
they all have BAD FORM and didn't do the PULL UPS PROPERLY ! it was horrible watching , ONLY ONE GUY had perfect FORM and was doing the PULL UPS correctly
you trying to say other peoples can do more pull ups?
@@artyomarty391 I'm not. What I'm saying is on every Marine Corps base, 90% of the people can do 3 or more pullups. It is part of their physical fitness test.

First dude could have gotten 16 if he did not go so high. Guys, it's a max reps challenge, not a strength building workout.
He’s one of the few that actually had good form. A lot of the others reps shouldn’t have counted from the get go.
He wouldn't pay marines b/c of laws but he parked in front of the fire truck zone...
A lot of invalid reps. Also some do chin-ups instead of pull-ups. Bummer.
you need to specify the grip width makes a lot of difference too how many reps you can do.
When I was active in the Core back in the 90’s, I could do 19 consistently, but I could do 19 overhand, underhand, wide grip or narrow grip and also behind the head. Never could break the magical 20 mark.
Now over 50, 4-5 is my limit and have to watch positioning as neck, wrist and elbow injuries come into play. My daughter is 10, she can do 3-4.
Have to consider the additional boots and utilities... 🤔
Wow girls are as good as guys, impressive
Lol They had pretty flat body I'm guessing it can say a lot
Should probably add a rep for boots and utes
I need to begin training so I'll eventually be able to do archer pull ups, behind the neck pull-ups then hang from the back of my neck on a pull-up bar. That's either being held up overhead by 2 people or that's not held up by 2 people.
