Passed my PJFT+ with a strong pass today, my advice is just train hard and always remember that the mind will give up long before the body does! It is a bit of a hang out towards the end but just push through.
Well done and thanks for the advice. I hope you get your green beret I believe that you can do it! In 2 years I'll be done with school and I really want to join then so I have to train hard. If you have any advice on how to train for the Marines I would really appreciate it but it's okay if you don't. Hope you get your green beret
I was under the impression that you had to do 60-85 press-ups in a row, so with the realisation that it’s a circuit based test I’m very relieved, granted if it was push-ups in a row I’d still have to give it my best shot but this has definitely boosted my confidence, much appreciated👍
Trying to train for this test from no fitness background is so demoralizing to see the types of lads that are the ones to actually go and do it. I'll be to old at this rate, 26 now :'D
Hey harry love your videos! How long do u reckon it would take someone like me with no athletic or sporting background to get ready. Im only doing like 20 pushups, 40 situps, 4 or 5 pull ups and can barely run a slow 5k. How long do u reckon it would take me before im ready for RM training?
@@Harryshepfitnesshey bro am a Kenyan and am highly interested in joining the marines,have tried severaly to apply but have no host to host me..do you mind hosting me?I knw it's alot to ask sorry.
I learned ofbass rutten a breathing technique which mma fighters use to get more oxygen per breath by essentially belly breathing. what are your thoughts?
I have a question regarding the CPC, i heard that they do the endurance course as part of it rather than the four commando courses at the end of basic training?
- CPC Overview: The course includes the following: • V02 Max/Bleep Test assessment: 20m distance. LVL 10.5 to pass Press Up, sit up and pull-up assessments: • 30 press-ups • 40 sit-ups • 4 heaves (pull-ups) • **All performed to an accompanying beep** • Candidates will also practise a 'feet to beam' Swimming assessment: • 33m long pool • Jump off the 3m high diving board • Swim two laps (approximately 150m) • Tread water for two minutes • Get out of the pool unaided Confidence and Determination assessments are also part of the course, which are conducted on the: • Endurance course (Woodbury Common) and involves going through water, crawling, sprinting and other delights! • High obstacle course and Bottom field. • Press-ups also form a part of the 'entertainment', and occur on an irregular basis throughout the sessions. Finally, a change into trainers for a three-and-a-half mile run back to camp (probably still in your wet clothes).

Given your height, weight goals, and the determination you've expressed, getting into shape for the Royal Marines is a realistic and achievable target. The time it will take to prepare depends on various factors including your current fitness level, diet, lifestyle, and the specific physical requirements of the Royal Marines. Considering you want to lose 15 kg and significantly improve your fitness, a well-structured plan is essential. Estimated Timeline Weight Loss: Losing 15 kg can typically be achieved in a healthy manner over 4-6 months. This timeframe allows for a gradual weight loss of about 0.5 to 1 kg per week, which is considered safe and sustainable. Fitness Improvement: Building stamina and muscle, while losing fat, will also take time. If you are consistent with your training, noticeable improvements in stamina and strength can be expected within 3-6 months. Suggested Plan Overview Initial 2-3 Months: Focus on building a fitness routine, improving your diet, and starting weight loss. Cardio: Begin with moderate-intensity cardio exercises like jogging, cycling, or swimming, gradually increasing intensity. Strength Training: Start with bodyweight exercises, then slowly introduce weights. Flexibility and Mobility: Incorporate stretching or yoga to improve flexibility and prevent injuries. Next 3-4 Months: Intensify your training regimen. Advanced Cardio: Incorporate interval training and longer endurance sessions. Enhanced Strength Training: Increase the intensity of your workouts, include compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. Specific Skills: Begin focusing on exercises that mimic the physical requirements of the Royal Marines, like ruck marches and obstacle course training. Final Preparation (1-2 Months): Focus on fine-tuning your fitness. Mock Tests: Start incorporating Royal Marines' fitness test simulations into your routine. Recovery and Tapering: Ensure you are allowing your body adequate time to recover, especially as you approach your enrollment date. Nutrition and Diet Adopt a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Aim for a caloric deficit to lose weight but ensure you're getting enough nutrients to fuel your workouts. Stay hydrated and consider consulting a dietitian for personalized advice. Mental Preparation Develop mental resilience through activities that challenge you. Practice stress management techniques like meditation or deep breathing exercises. Final Note Given your drive and commitment, with a structured plan, it's reasonable to expect significant progress within 6-8 months. However, it's crucial to listen to your body and adjust your plan as needed. Overtraining can lead to injuries, which could set you back in your goals. It may also be beneficial to consult with a fitness professional who can provide a personalized plan and ongoing support. Remember, consistency and determination are key to your success. Good luck with your journey to joining the Royal Marines!@@ytdaily9972
this is really helpful thanks. for the last 6 months I've been struggling with the sit-ups mostly which I think have a good bit to do with another pjft video i saw that had the sit-ups having to get your elbows far back on top of the knees? anything to that or should i focus on doing exactly what you're showing? thanks a ton for all the videos!

Hey mate, how soon after your medical/ interview did you get to get pjft?
What’s the exercises for pjft?

If I was in England I would seriously join the Royal Marines. Looks like a solid outfit.
Unfortunately in Australia

Will do mate! 💪🏼

Give yourself atleast 6 months to a year. The application process is something that u should never rush through
With a solid training program mate, around 4-6 months

Have prepared myself following physically with the help of your videos
Have been preparing physically with the help of your videos and they hv been helpful
Is this the one officers do?
bit late to this video but how long should i give myself to prepare for the test coming from no fitness background at all.
I learned ofbass rutten a breathing technique which mma fighters use to get more oxygen per breath by essentially belly breathing. what are your thoughts?
random, but what weight plate is on your feet? I feel like I never have enough weight and lift my feet when I try and do situps.
quick question, on the PJFT, do you have your feet weighed down by a weight or by another candidate when doing the sit ups?
I believe another candidate holds your feet
Thankyou
Great video, helps a lot. Is each circuit one after the other or is there a break in between?
No breaks
Hi
Is there any pull ups at the end in PJFT?
I’m fairly sure the minimum is 5 pull ups with correct form for 1 point, and 16 pull-ups for the full 5 points👍
2 min rest then 5 pull ups minimum
