The speed up on the pullupss is the speed in which we execute them. So that we aren't straining ourselves, moving slowly. Crunches are how they described. Just that you have to grab your biceps and arms don't leave the chest. The run.....well it's a run.
Ima give them this. If u look up that makes your chin the highest point of your body. U just need your chin to break the bar not go over. And for the crunches all you need is your forearms to touch your thighs. So as long as you can keep your your arms on your biceps you can technically position your arms around your core reducing the rage you have to move. P.s. your arms dont have to touch the top of your thighs, they CVan touch the lowest part of your thigh hence it's still your thigh
I think you should include a Marine when doing their test or Navy Seal when doing theirs along side you guys. It might add a little perspective and maybe some comedy relief.

Zachary Ball you realize this is the Marine Corps PFT right? During the crunches, they were holding the feet & legs correctly. This isn’t the army dude 💀💀
Zachary Ball The Marine Corps stopped doing sit-ups years ago because they figured out the obvious, there is no added benefit vs crunches and can actually cause back injuries.
@RedExoticYT There is no "Delta Force " PT test. There is the round robin fitness test for US Army special forces which is the closest thing to a SFOD/CAG PT test
These bodybuilders did surprisingly well considering 1. they did not practice beforehand and 2. bodybuilders aren't necessarily fit, especially when endurance comes into play.

Always started my 3 miles with a good smoke first. They should have brought their arms lower. Less distance to go up. Plus your buddy doesn't count by one.
The year before I got out of the Marines, a Marine recruit shattered the previous record of 65 pull-ups by doing 76 during his final PFT in boot camp.. He was 30 years old.
@@tonybarfridge4369 It wouldn't be too difficult, unless you're expected to do them in the order originally posted. Legs would be burning after all that
Im currently a marine and I'll never forget the nerves and stress of having a to run these tests and get a good score during bootcamp. With all the stress and lack of nutrition on top of being sick and sleep deprived hardest thing I've been through for sure good job guys
Lol. Bootcamp is the hardest PFT you'll run. Once you hit the fleet they are cake because your normal everyday PT will fuck you up to the point you wish you went to college instead. At least that's how it was for me.
@@luigipineda3090 depends on your MOS honestly. But 9/10 times it's actually really fun. Running up mountains down the other side to the beach, then filling a water proofing bag with water and running back up the mountain down the otherside with that massive bag of water on your back. Makes for some awesome stories and amazing fitness. As for bootcamp... just keep your head down and fly under the radar as much as possible.
My husband recently retired from teh USMC and I remember him coming home telling me that they would compete with each other to see who could do the most pull-ups. He said that that was the worst part for most of them, the rest "wasn't too bad." The idea of a 3 mile run for me is nauseating, how he thought it was easy is beyond me.

@@brianwilliamsjr6996 I hear ya bro but he technically did have better (crunch) form since the only requirement was to bring your arms to your legs. All I was trynna point out is that he could have gotten more reps in if he was doing the shorter range of crunch in the same form.
@@Raymondstu I dunno man honestly I find the crunch way harder than the full range sit up. Those crunches keep your abs engaged the entire time. Full range sit up only during the middle. I get everyone is different but he may have ended up doing them that way because it's easier for him

You guys make me feel good at my worst in the Marines. I've never had those kind of abs or ever been in that ripped shape. I commend you both for your effort. You should try the Marines combat fitness test as well. It was fun!
Even if you can do the physical, most people are broken by the psychological tests practiced by the military, especially special forces units. You can be as strong as an ox or a bodybuilder I guess but if you crack mentally then the physical tests are inconsequential.
exactly so that's why it doesn't even matter about all these guys being jacked or huge off steroids and stuff because if you're not mentally strong it don't matter you not going to last the point of the military is to break you down and rebuild you into the soldier they see fit
To put the run in perspective: 18 minutes/3 miles = 6min/mile = most varsity high school cross country teams 14-15min/3mi = 4:40-5:00min/mile = elite marathoners (over 26.2 miles) 12:37min/5K (3.1miles) = men's world 5K record Most 5K races (3.1 miles) for amateur runners finish in 18-35 minutes. Your time of 26:24 corresponds to an 8:48min/mi pace, which is respectable for an "average" runner and very respectable for two guys who don't run! Great job!
That would be really cool to watch, some work and creativity to set up the maneuver under fire. Movement to Contact would be fun to watch too, its two laps of pure heart.
@@AnonymousJohnAutobon Some workouts will have you on the ground after you finish them though... not saying this was one of them but it also depends on your fitness level obviously.
That's actually way harder than the NYPD test but judging by the standards that they are currently using for hiring, the new cops may actually be able to pull it off.
Not just russian army - Maroon Beret test would be interesting. It goes like this: 1. 12 km forced march with full equipment. 2. Obstacle course. 3. Shooting test, while physically exhausted. 4. Some basic acrobatics (saltos and such). 5. Hand-to-hand techniques test. 6. 12 MINUTES of hand-to-hand sparring versus 3 successive FRESH opponents. Everything is done without rest. People die or get injured quite often during this. It is very risky for one's health, and therefore is an idiotic idea. But, if you want a hardcore test of will - here you go.
Per the Marine Corps Order (MCO 6100.13A)- “A certain amount of inherent body movement will occur as the pull-up is executed. However, the intent is to avoid a pendulum-like motion that enhances the ability to execute the pull-up. Whipping, kicking, or kipping of the body or legs, or any leg movement used to assist in the vertical progression of the pull-up is not authorized. If observed, the repetition does not count for score.” The order also says- “Legs may be positioned in a straight or bent position, but knees may not be raised above the waist.” HOWEVER- “The bar must be high enough to allow the tallest Marine’s legs to hang straight without touching the ground, when arms are fully extended.” But they’re obviously not running it for promotion or entry into the Marine Corps lol. They did a pretty good job overall! The run isn’t easy for anyone unless you’re one of those physical freaks who runs in their sleep (aka-NOT ME) They should do the Combat Fitness Test (CFT) next!
@@goodinsrt8 your arms are not allowed to leave your chest. If they do the rep doesn't count stop arguing bro idgaf if It increases the range of motion.
Seems like most of the audience are American, and even the British lads seem to know more about the US military then are own, stupid really Royal Marines tests are way harder
Yea bro, these guys are nothing but puppets... I can run 15km in the countryside (up and down) in 1h15 max and I'm not even an athlete. Fuck this bullshit !
Fry THF body builders have a lot more muscle to carry around with them so Cardiovascular fitness is comparatively much more difficult. That’s why all the cross country stars are Lanky dudes with almost no build
Actually its all about regular practice. If you say a runner to workout with weight they ll be as tired as them only by lifting weight. Basically if u want overall fit. Do all basic exercise do cardio lift weight. Do ever3
@@manuelsancheztrujillo6651 26 minutes 3-miles run is a warm up? What is your best time, then, 16:30? One has to be a very serious runner, for it to be just a relaxed aerobic warmup.

But also, the other guy said he was 120 kilos??? I didn't even know it was possible for a healthy human to be that heavy. I am about half his weight. And 10 km (same amount of work since I am half his weight) is hard for me
I recorded a perfect 300 pft score once in my 4 years in. I was extremely proud of that, it isn't easy at all. The 3 mile run I ended with 17:59, I crossed the finish line, walked 4 steps to my left where the grass was and proceeded to throw up for the next couple minutes, great times 😆
Bro that’s crazy insane. The best 3 mile time I got was a 19:45 with 26 pull-ups (only county 20 but I did 6 more because they it to your mol account) and 100 crunches.
@@mattthetrucker5585 most people have a better CFT than PFT.. especially if your unit is lax on the whole "partner of equal size" part of the order lol
now we se that the bodybuilders can't run and they have no strenght stamina enough to make a perfect score in pull ups or sit ups. i do sports and i love all sports and i don't judge the bodybuilders, they train a lot and have great muscles but i think this spot is about the diet and pills or injections🙃. not every bodybuilder uses these things but a lot... i say again i don't want to hurt anyone it is only my opinion.

Fucking facts 😂😂I hate the cft
I love that test. Fucking love it.
I’d much rather do the CFT than the PFT, any day
They didn't even drink all night before or smoke that morning.
Marine Corps is about endurance not muscle size LOL. Most Marines that are fit are skinny including Recon.
The Navy maybe be the best one to join with muscle size and be okay. Army and Marnies is very hard to complete
SEALdesert you were in recon, your a BMF! Semper fi
So true, I hated the 3 mile run but the corps will make you a pullup master..lol
Having muscle can be enduring I am built like a sumo yet can run 20 miles
this training is nothing compared my SAS training
Dang I did better than bodybuilders?? Confidence booster 😂
SlobberCobbler dude same lol
An awful lot of bodybuilders are not actually fit or healthy, bro. Being jacked doesn't mean being fit.
You should try the US Marine CFT
Scott Grieashamer definitely lol, that would be great!!
I just did the cft last month it sucks lmao
@@martingarcia299 congratulations Marines
Agreed
Cft sucks lol so does the pft
Feel like Mike’s crunches were too close to sit ups, making it harder for each rep
And he's probably used to training his abs in the low rep range
They don't count for the Marine pft, you have to keep your arms on your stomach for them to count
The year before I got out of the Marines, a Marine recruit shattered the previous record of 65 pull-ups by doing 76 during his final PFT in boot camp.. He was 30 years old.
Next up Matt is going to train for a marathon.
Haha! Not ideal mate

US Marines Combat Fitness Test then Navy SEALS and Army Rangers.
Im currently a marine and I'll never forget the nerves and stress of having a to run these tests and get a good score during bootcamp. With all the stress and lack of nutrition on top of being sick and sleep deprived hardest thing I've been through for sure good job guys
Lol. Bootcamp is the hardest PFT you'll run. Once you hit the fleet they are cake because your normal everyday PT will fuck you up to the point you wish you went to college instead. At least that's how it was for me.

My husband recently retired from teh USMC and I remember him coming home telling me that they would compete with each other to see who could do the most pull-ups. He said that that was the worst part for most of them, the rest "wasn't too bad." The idea of a 3 mile run for me is nauseating, how he thought it was easy is beyond me.

The guy who lost was doing much harder crunches tho with his arms up high having to do fuller range of motions
Yes, but that's the incorrect form so technically none of them counted.
@@brianwilliamsjr6996 I hear ya bro but he technically did have better (crunch) form since the only requirement was to bring your arms to your legs. All I was trynna point out is that he could have gotten more reps in if he was doing the shorter range of crunch in the same form.
@@Raymondstu I dunno man honestly I find the crunch way harder than the full range sit up. Those crunches keep your abs engaged the entire time. Full range sit up only during the middle. I get everyone is different but he may have ended up doing them that way because it's easier for him
If the second guy was doing the a real Marine test none of those would have counted
he was on more roids.

You guys make me feel good at my worst in the Marines. I've never had those kind of abs or ever been in that ripped shape. I commend you both for your effort. You should try the Marines combat fitness test as well. It was fun!
Even if you can do the physical, most people are broken by the psychological tests practiced by the military, especially special forces units. You can be as strong as an ox or a bodybuilder I guess but if you crack mentally then the physical tests are inconsequential.
exactly so that's why it doesn't even matter about all these guys being jacked or huge off steroids and stuff because if you're not mentally strong it don't matter you not going to last the point of the military is to break you down and rebuild you into the soldier they see fit

MattDoesFitness Control Combat Technician, pretty intense training. Maybe even try Paratrooper
To put the run in perspective:
18 minutes/3 miles = 6min/mile = most varsity high school cross country teams
14-15min/3mi = 4:40-5:00min/mile = elite marathoners (over 26.2 miles)
12:37min/5K (3.1miles) = men's world 5K record
Most 5K races (3.1 miles) for amateur runners finish in 18-35 minutes. Your time of 26:24 corresponds to an 8:48min/mi pace, which is respectable for an "average" runner and very respectable for two guys who don't run! Great job!

Marine corps Combat Fitness Test. Just look it up, you’ll have fun.
That would be really cool to watch, some work and creativity to set up the maneuver under fire. Movement to Contact would be fun to watch too, its two laps of pure heart.
The best way to recover after a run like that is to walk with you’re hands over you’re head to slow you’re heart rate
not in a healthy way tho. the reason why it lowers heart rate is because it constricts breathing.
I puked after running it at 19:15.
oblivious oblivion that’s how the army and my doctor says is the best way
The NASA G-force test. See who passes out the quickest😁

No harm but I think after a long run the worst thing is to lay down and it’s the first clip. Correct me if I’m wrong
You are not wrong, after a run you arent supposed to bend over, lay down, you are supposed to hydrate and walk in a circle

The second guys arms weren’t down during the crunches.
Mike's last 2 wouldn't have counted. He swung his legs to pull up
Scottie Buchanan he said you can swing your legs up a little but not an exaggerated amount
Per the Marine Corps Order (MCO 6100.13A)-
“A certain amount of inherent body movement will occur as the pull-up is executed. However, the intent is to avoid a pendulum-like motion that enhances the ability to execute the pull-up. Whipping, kicking, or kipping of the body or legs, or any leg movement used to assist in the vertical progression of the pull-up is not authorized. If observed, the repetition does not count for score.”
The order also says-
“Legs may be positioned in a straight or bent position, but knees may not be raised above the waist.”
HOWEVER-
“The bar must be high enough to allow the tallest Marine’s legs to hang straight without touching the ground, when arms are fully extended.”
But they’re obviously not running it for promotion or entry into the Marine Corps lol. They did a pretty good job overall! The run isn’t easy for anyone unless you’re one of those physical freaks who runs in their sleep (aka-NOT ME)
They should do the Combat Fitness Test (CFT) next!
Alot of those wouldnt have counted. His legs were to high
Your are correct. You can move them slightly but his wouldnt. His leg reach almost ninety degrees alos
I am glad they are trying it
Second guy has a lot of no-reps on the pull ups. He's using his legs to gain momentum.
Jawan T dude, if you’ve ever done them, just like muscle ups, when ur legs move like that, their actually making it harder for you instead of helping
Me a marine : oh neat
Seeing the second guy do zero sit-ups because none of those count.
Keep you’re arms down.
Lifting your arms increases range of motion, any PFT monitor that isn't retarded will count those.
