first
don’t click the scam below me please, i bet it 101% contains a virus.
Jadasa Tara stop recking the comment section
Just to let you know TRADOC just stopped this new test 😂 in other words we’re already getting rid of this test. We’re going back to traditional APFT.
As a soldier myself you guys have no idea how incredible this actually is. I know soldiers who have trained every day for years and don't break 550. To get a 598 (should've been 600) on your first try is one of the most impressive things i have seen in my life. Thank you for doing this. If i wasn't convinced you're the GOAT I am now!
@@daveaglasgow yeah the army is moving towards more of a CrossFit type fitness standard and focusing less on cardio. 13:30 should be easy but it’s harder than you would think after doing all that other stuff first.
Bruh it's 498..
I was in the Air Force back in the late 70s, early 80s... Back then our physical fitness requirement was to "run" 1.5 miles in under 14:30.... I was at my max weight for my height and constantly harassed by the Squadron Commander from our Orderly Room, (if we go to war, everyone is going to be waiting on you) he was a 2nd Lt., probably only a few yrs older than me... We ran the annual event on a 1/4 mile track... This chubby kid ran it in just under 9 minutes and posted the 3rd fasted time of all enlisted folks in my unit... on my last lap, I lapped the 2nd Lt, I quickly grabbed a cigarette from a friend, and was smoking it next to the start/finish line as the 2nd Lt ran by with one lap to go and cheering him on... you can do it!! A few days later at Commander's Call, I was brought up on stage and given a 3 day pass for a top 3 finish..... He never harassed me about my weight again... lol I hope their standard has changed, cause 1.5 miles in 14:30 was way too easy, you could probably walk it in with a fast paced walk...
@@daveaglasgow ah yes, the good old "someone is bigger/faster/stronger than me they must be on drugs" argument.
I think the much much more impressive thing is sub 1:43 800m which he ran at London Olympics.
Shout out to Michael for doing this after 15 miles
I know! He is a world class steeplechaser.
15 miles at 4:40 pace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@larrylem3582 I honestly couldn’t tell if that was a joke or not. That pace is a 1:01:08 half marathon!
@@larrylem3582 per kilometer?
@@MrNoName7474 He must be exaggerating a bit. Probably ran the last couple miles at that pace. He has made the Olympic Trials in the Steeple , so he is legit but unless your a 2:04 Marathoner, you are not doing 15 miles at that pace. And even then, you would be boarderline racing.
Gabby is a beast. I like that the test is the same for men and women. Other then the run at the end, id say this favors more heavy set weight lifting style builds.
Thank you!! I struggle on the run but will keep striving to improve!
It’s probably because it’s arguably easier to get a better endurance than it is to get stronger
@@joshustaran-anderegg9399 depends on the person I’d guess
@@gabbers009 dude you’re killing it, I haven’t seen a single person in my home unit touch a score in the 500s yet, you rock!
@@RockBlockbuster kfalls_armynationalguard
I'm in the Army and have taken the ACFT several times at this point. It is a hard test, even with months of training. This video is probably the best "XX Tries the ACFT" that I've seen so far. I really appreciate the effort you put into this video and have so much respect for your abilities. A fan as always!!
I'm in the guard and completely agree with you
Why is the army so unfit, this really doesn't seem that hard. I noticed that the cardiovascular fitness levels were extremely low for these recruits. A sub 13:30 2 miles should be pretty easy for anyone who is fit and especially people that train for this.
@@daveaglasgow Do you run??? Can you run a sub 13:30 two mile???
Dave I don’t understand when your saying it’s easy bruh u should literally post a video about you running 2 miles under 13:30 I mean it’s not the hardest thing but saying it’s easy makes me think that you havnt even tried it and being cocky that u can
@@101lifeanddeath Been training for the run. Quickest I did was 16:41 2 mile
This was one of your best videos. I am really impressed with your stamina and energy.
Yeah same, especially that bruh throw.
i think now he is ready to challenge the instagram fitness model that beat him...it must haunt him...but she is really a beast
I had a PL who was like the 4th person to get a 600 his first try, two days later he wanted to see what he could get in his plate carrier.. this beast of a man got a 598. Most impressive thing I’ve seen physically!
Sounds like Urtz
Getting a 600 on the ACFT is very hard, I’m giving you credit because of that first throw!
its honestly kinda funny cuz when they started that challenge i thought to myself "what happens if they hit one of the pieces of wood up there" but didnt expect it to actually happen
Guess no matter how disabled I am, I'm still gonna have to work hard to make money and build muscle, thanks for the encouragement.
Keep grinding brother💪
💪
❤️
shit country we live in
Whatever u believe u can achieve remember that
Truly amazing video brotha! Get this man to 600k!!
Get him to 1m
Yeee
Hi can you please help me I really wanna visit America 😢
@aj lapray Yo Cheeks Ok After That Pimp Slap
When I was in the Army all we did was push-ups 2:00 min, sit-ups 2:00 min, and the two mile run. To max all you needed is 60, 85 and a 13:30, so pretty easy to max out, but I'm not sure if I would have maxed out with these new challenges!
I saw a lot of fitness influencers also doing the Army Fitness test, but this time it's Nick! Great video!
He should try a run on the Currahee mountain ( 3 miles up 3 miles down ) in boots ( short military boots )
The sprint drag carry will have your legs wobblin’, especially right before the 2 mile 😂
“That’s the evilest thing I can imagine”
I almost puked one time after I did the sprint drag carry lol
It really is just pure ridiculousness
Great Video Nick! The thresholds for max points in some of the events were just perfect enough where you could hit them and the others couldn't gain any extra points. Keep up the great work!
Exactly how you need to do the leg tuck, keep the rhythm going and pumping!
Cap Tom was in his bag this episode. Dude killed every event effortlessly
Nick this was an awesome video. As a veteran thank you for highlighting this for us. You totally killed this test. The Citizen Soldiers in this video are awesome. Thank you for your service.
You're a beast. I would pass out after doing this
Mans a legend for doing this 🤟
It's a really fun set of challenges!!
@@nicksymmonds really, i was impressed by your performance!!! Excelente!!
You rock Nick! Love the video! Thank you for including me. 💪🏼
Your energy is unmatched, dude. Keep inspiring people, you're way too good at it.
I just can't say enough how much I love this channel. I'd love to try this challenge. Might have to set it up.
As a power lifter it took me a little while to subscribe to your channel. However, you have some really great fitness challenges, a great attitude and really encourage people to succeed in their fitness and in life! Thanks for your content!
ur are just an inspiration. thank u for motivating us. great job nick ,keep up the good work
Thank you for watching!!
Nick is so well rounded, a true athlete indeed.
Mad respect to you for getting that score at the age of 37!! Absolute legend
that was fun to watch. good job guys!! and nick, you smashed it. well done!
I'm the biggest and slowest person on our track team and even though I do shotput and discus when we run like 100s-1 mile u are a big inspiration to go till my legs die.
Finally some different content than the challenges! I like the challenge videos but they can get stale quickly if that’s all you do. Keep up the creativity and good quality vids nick!
45 year old civilian working for the army. Took the ACFT with some medics. Scored a 593 in the hardest age category. Only event that’s tough is the sprint drag carry. Smokes you!!!
These military videos are really cool. I would consider doing a Navy PST test for special warfare navy. Austen Alexander does them and that would be a cool collaboration. It’s a little different starting with 500 yard swim, push-ups pullups, sit-ups, and 1.5 mile run.
Love how Michael just casually talked and conversed with Nick while running. Like, dang, made that look effortless.
A round of applause for the soldiers❤️🙏💯
Nick you lit it up 💯🔥
That is really impressive, Nick, and everyone else
Your edition was my favorite out of all the ones i've watched
This was an interesting and fun video to watch, Nick!
Hell yeah, bro! Made the ACFT look easy.
Subscribed 🙏🏽
HEY NICK!! great video!! I was wondering if you could do a video series with all the military branches!! I LOVE THE NAVY!! And would love to see those videos!
Thank you for showing the test and your product. Take care and stay safe.
Best of luck with your endeavors.
I've only taken the acft once since I'm reserves and it's truly a test of endurance and mental focus
Great video Nick! Keep up the work
Absolutely enjoyed this video, crushed the ACFT Nick!
Nice work!
The sprint, drag, and carry is a significant emotional event. Way harder than it looks!
Just found your channel and I love it keep up the good work 👏
Just always waiting for your content ❤️❤️
Great Test man!
Loved this one!
The older gentlemen and the woman were the shockers. Really really impressed by them
the woman finished dead last
@@drakemordred2982 It's true, head to head men of the same athletic ability will always handily beat a woman of the same ability. However, I'd wager that Gabi is stronger and more fit than the vast majority of men out there.
@@Nightweaver1 Its the Military and War. Shes going to be fighting against men.
Love seeing this channel go up!!!!!!!
This video is really fantabulous 🔥✨, please continue this series and also I am your big fan ....
that was a cool video and format, thanks yallzz;
"Can i go the Distance" Love the David Goggins reference :)
Tom crushed that Sprint Drag event. He is an all-round athlete!
Love the narration man. Oh and btw that gymshark hoodie is cool
You are the best athlete I have ever seen in my life
What an awesome video filled with positive vibes
Very entertaining to watch! Make more vids like this and keep up the good work, Nick!
You all have my admiration. As a former Soldier it's been almost two decades since I was last in. I know that right now I could not be able to pass the new test. When I was in the military I was not the biggest guy but I did earn the PT patch and score pretty high on my PT test but I don't think I would be able to score anywhere near as high as you all did even when I was in my Prime.
I play highschool football and this morning we did this test it WAS NOT easy😅
These videos are awesome! Keep it up Nick
Thank you!!
Im in the army done many of these never been more impressed with one I've maxed it and 1 other person max but still isn't as impressive for someone who doesn't train for theses events YOU MAKE IT LOOK EASY
Human beings are the ones who show the way with good foresight
Always belive in yourself never give up❤️❤️
We just did this in our Track Team with the National Guard. It was fun
Your videos are only one I click like before viewing because I am positive it will be that good!
This was awesome. More challenges. Different ones would be fun.
I always struggled with the ACFT, I've been training almost everyday and watched this for pointers. Nick, put me in a video, please!
Great content as always!!!
This was very interesting to watch. Nice job
Just love this. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹.
SGT Roberts here, never knew this video was up!! Nice to see the ORARNG being represented!! SFC Z!!!!!
This is so great. Thumbs up to them all.
I love how competitive nick is. 💪💪💪
i just tried the pushup challenge and 60 pushups in 2 minutes doesnt seem hard but adding the pause on the ground makes it incredibly difficult, i gave it my all and did it with 3 seconds to spare, one of trhe most difficult things ive done in a while
Very entertaining video as always!
What an awesome event, here's hoping that it becomes an annual event
The beast/Nick your awesome.
Rooting for you and Gabi in it.
Wanted 1, 2. (Either way) lol.
Your awesome, smashed them.
One of the best video 👌👌👌
Loved it
hey nick, your the best. once i see a notification for your videos, i click without hesitation!
Thank you for turning notifications on!!
This was a fun video I want to try this challenge in the near future!
Bro. I was waiting for you to do this. Most guys can't achieve your score! Lol Great video bro.
This is really the armies combat fitness test now? That’s pretty cool. When I was, and I went in 2003, it was sit ups, push-ups, and a 2 mile run.
Not first! 🤪but Nick, you’ve inspired me to continue running again and the videos you’ve been dropping lately are bombers 💣! Hope you reach 600k soon!
lol . ya know that actually there was a problem with my laptop in which i could not see any comments
Thank you!!
I could demolish the 2 mile. My PR is 10:55, and I haven’t ran anything under a 5k for a year, and I’ve been training hard. Still extremely impressive though! Go at it!
You was flying through their good job mate
Love your videos man!
I’m in the Army and I’ve done this ACFT 6 times now with my highest score being 517. The only things I haven’t maxed are lug tucks, 2Mi & push ups
That’s a sick edit for the time lapse during the two mile
Nick! Great vid! Come to Walter Reed, visit the troops and do the Navy’s PFA next!
To Captain “America” Tom: respect and kudos from a active duty fellow “40+ club” member you rock, Brother!
Ha thanks. The knees aren't quite the same in the 40+ club
Nick do bench press #2! Everyone wants to see it! With heavier weight! It’s your most popular vid of these types
That was cool. Nicely done.
Amazing job Nick, it shows you are a world class athlete and your pursuit of fitness keeps others motivated. I'd like to give props to the Soldiers in the video who also did the test. CPL Gabby did amazing, she would be on the high upper end of the spectrum for female scores. The leg tuck has been the event that has destroyed the most Soldiers. I'm not sure what kind of demonstration the Soldiers gave you on the pushups, your arms are supposed to be completely straight out to the side on each rep so you did not meet standard on that event. Excellent job nonetheless!
Good job for a woman. Yeah great way to insult someone
@@2loaves388 stop being a baby. If you know much about the ACFT and scores for military fitness test it's not a insult.
@@2loaves388 men and women have different physical abilities artard it’s obvious. Giving her props because generally most women have lower scored than her so she did a great job.
@@pharaoh4866 way to show your misogyny pal. #allwomenarerealwomen #downwithpatriarchy #radicalfeminismismygod
Of course Nick wins💪
Loved this video, very cool tests😄
Came back to watch this video after I got out of the Marine Corps in June. Now I’ve submitted my paper work to join the National Guard wanted a reminder on what I gotta do lol
i ran 2 miles in 12 min when i was a firefighter, that was the requirement for max score . but for 200lbs dude i had to struggle but still got it
Lesgoo BISON we got this, let's show them how it's done 👍👍
Captain Tom is just a beast!
As someone who was an (okay) athlete in highschool and still active to this day it’s extremely impressive he can complete a 15 mile run with a pace of 4:40 where as it took me about 10:38 at least to complete 1 mile 😭 even the fastest players on my team completed it in about 7:30 for 1 mile that takes real strength it’s not as easy as it would look but it is physically and mentally challenging and I give around of applause to those ppl that can do it!
Aw, he really should've been given the full points for that ball throw! Since he would've been successful if not for that wooden beam. What a fun video! MJ really came through on that last test.
As someone with a medium score on call of duty black ops. This is so impressive!
Captain Tom almost completely standing up straight*
Bison: CAPTAIN TOM GETTING SO LOW CLASSIC
that edit of you running with Michael looks so cool
that lady on the army is MAD STRONG
Thank you! ARMY National Guard Strong 💪🏼
