i mean if u step up for a challenge u can't say "we're just a kid" " we're just a junior starting". at the end of the say they're still MARINES(english isn't my 1st language)
Marines look like they just came out of boot camp. Not fair to be honest. I would like to see drill instructors challenging fitness influencers. That will definitely get a blue thumbs up.
Oh give me a break. You're going to put a team of junior enlisted teenagers just barely out of high school who do "organized" PT for about 45 minutes a day up against a team of full-grown men whose full-time jobs are in fitness, and call it a fair competition? How cute. Put some NCOs in the ring - Marines who have actually learned the benefit of prioritizing and incorporating PT in their lifestyle for a few years. Let's make this a real competition. Next. 🙄
Theoretically, the marines should have flourished then because they are younger, should be in better shape and have access to 24 hour gyms on top of PT. Additionally, it’s their job to be in shape and overcome any obstacles.
Respect to the Marines! They got a lot more jobs to do than just being fit, and I think it would be interesting to see Marines vs Fitness Influencers at a range day as well.
Put a 100+lb pack on the influencers and have them hike 15+miles alongside the devil dogs. Let's see who makes it then. Plus, these devil dogs are pups. They look like they just got out of high school. Put them up against seasoned Marines and see how the tide changes. Semper fi Marines!
@@-hydroWas there any gun shooting involved? What was the point in that? You know a lot of military guys don't shoot as much as others or just don't shoot much at all?
The size differences were very telling!!! Also, Marines can’t sit in the gym all day working on their physique. They are out there keeping our country safe.. Plus, I’d guarantee these 3 Marines are as green as they come!🙄
@@felixk1843there is no L to take its just facts😭 the fitness guys dedicate their life to this kinda stuff the marines are FIT but they have other duties to attend to other then be in the gym all day everyday like these other guys
@@o1g_2OMG they lost let's stop making excuses, they were just talking shit about they will not loose because they are marines which clearly doesn't mean anything but Hype. They're MOS they're POG's.
@@felixk1843 Bro what are you braindamaged imagine your career is to do fitness and your 9-5 is working out obviously youre gonna be in better shape then someone who works a normal 9-5 who goes to the gym an hour or two like what practice how you play boy
Yes the influences are very strong, but to be a marine, its not just about how strong you are, but how strong is your will to survive, and getting through dangerous scenarios. Also the influencers all seems a lot older than the marines and not older like oh 40s old, but older as they have been and have had more time to train. But they will all be badass one way or another. Seals and Coast Guard rescue swimmers are a different breed than all these guys.
I am reading a handful of comments on here, and so far, I agree with what I have read. The influencers are a little bit older than the Marines which means more "training time". Also, the influncers , this is what they do, their job. Marines are to be physically fit but there is so much more to their job. They also don't have time to live in the gym like the influencers. I feel like its not comparing the groups fairly. Lets have the influncers deal with surviving out in the field or at the range. #oorah #marinemom
Now this is just plain stupid. You're going to put up a bunch of influencers who do nothing but workout in an open field? Marines on the other hand need to workout because they are supposed to survive in harsh conditions. Also, Marines may not "live" in the gym but they workout everyday with little to no rest. Compared to influencers who take a lot of rest. So your "Training time" concept is useless
Influencers came out the gate complaining about boots lol! I do feel like this was set up to lean in a certain direction. How about you find a group of marines that spend their spare time in the gym, and not the bar lol!
These Marines are probably 18 years old and haven’t done much in the way of exercise prior to boot camp. It definitely wasn’t a fair competition as the influencers look to be all In their prime physical age range. That being said it was still entertaining. Nothing against the influencers as they just competed against who was in front of them.
Marines are trained for long term endurance and stress. These young Marines barely look like they were past athletes but besides Boot camp are new to this.Aim sure the purposefully did not get a top notch established Marine.Aim sure the other trainers most are on test.
What a great competition not trying to be biased or anything but the marines probably have better combat skill and more Tactical knowledge than the influencers as they can solely focus on their workouts Still great video as always and mad respect to Hiram for the 30pull Ups in 1 go And obviously for the marines to complete every challenge even if they already lost
Remember, fitness isn't the hardest thing in the Marine Corps, especially for green teenagers fresh out of highschool, Basic in the Marine Corps is much harder mentally than physically.
I love how the deadlifts and pull ups where technically no reps for not locking out but they counted them as good reps lol the kayak not touching the dock was a technicality they held to lol? 😂
I would usually pick the person that does it on their own, rather than is ordered to do it while in service. Self discipline is harder to do than being disciplined.
Next time , pick real marines, I’m only a PFC but I’m twice the size of these fellow juinor marines and I be dammed if I let influencers beat the corp, take my friend too, officer in the corp, placed 3rd overall for the spartan run, we’d cook
That's a fact. Soldiers are soft these days. And this is coming from a Soldier. They look at you like your crazy when you actually train like a soldier.(02am rucks/Runs without being instructed to.)
Might just join Marines after seeing how pathetic these guys were. 😂 Thought yall had a mandatory 8 mile run for pt. Yall can’t say ish bout chair force. 😂
Lol these Marines have been in for a year maybe 2...these influences have been in their profession for how long? Try taking on a 1stSgt who's been doing it for a minute or 2
Old man strength those are kids, id like to see marine drill instructors vs influencers
that would be a good matchup since the influencers are still mad competent
i mean if u step up for a challenge u can't say "we're just a kid" " we're just a junior starting". at the end of the say they're still MARINES(english isn't my 1st language)
Nah the drill instructors would absolutely demolish them

I'd love to see it. Still don't think DIs would have a chance against professional trainers who reached "influencer" status.
@@kylemeyers4504 Still don’t think influencers would have a chance against Marine NCOs or Marine Infantrymen.
@@kylemeyers4504 Also DIs would destroy the influencers
forreals! Like "BEFORE MCT".
That's the more reasons why the Marines moral would be high.
Lol. These Marines look like they're fresh out of Basic Training
Agreed😂😂😂😂
Next time don’t pick a bunch of boots 😂
Well said, we got the biggest rink a dink boot lcpls representing the corp. The outta regs zoomer cut says it all.

He did this on purpose because he's navy guy
Agreed. Lopsided competition.

Cool vid. Loved the concept. Maybe next time, instead of the marines changing gear, make the influencers do the challenges in combat gear.
As soon as I seen they were LCpls I knew they were taking Ls, I havent even finished watching the first challenge 💀😂
True. They've only been in the fleet for a year or less.
Send in some Sergeants and the influencers would get demolished

well your average fitness influencer probably doesnt shoot guns as often as marine. they both do fitness though and the marines got stomped lmaooo

Also not all Marines are Infantry. The stereotypical buff Marine are the ones who are in Infantry. Not Office workers.
@@diobrando3170 Only Infantry has to be tough
Considering "influencers" uniform is cut offs and gym shorts, the marines had every right to stay in theirs.
Those influencers got some muscle mass on them compared to them kids.
sorry but you choose the only three marines that are very skinny 🤣🤣 the fitness guys are more prepare physically!
Jeez.. l almost thought for a sec those influencers were the marines 😂
Would love to see you take on the IronMan challenge with our Bondi Lifegaurds here in Australia 🇦🇺
Best lifeguards in the world!
You couldn't find some better Marines for this challenge? lmao
they are inlisted teenagers against grown men
Influencers came out the gate complaining about boots lol! I do feel like this was set up to lean in a certain direction. How about you find a group of marines that spend their spare time in the gym, and not the bar lol!
lol Alexander chose the least marine-lookin marines
This is so unfair. Look at the size difference between the influencers and young marines. Big disadvantage.
They all weighed the same he said that at the beginning
Mf got boots straight outta MCT come on
Completely hooked on these videos, gives me comfort to know that I have a fighting chance at one of these challenges with normal gym and bootcamps 😂
You always have great content, love the military challenges!
Fair matchups are more fun to watch but I admire all who participated and the boats had me laughing too.
softest marines i’ve seen. prob admin🤣
bro this a bad representation for the marines
Three LCpls, probably 19 years old, vs a bunch of grown men who just work out for a living
Suck it up buttercup they made the Marines look bad.
Right, uneven odds. He should have selected better to make it even.
Bruh…how embarrassing 🙄
I think it's in favor of the influencers there main job is fitness the marines fitness / but a lot of combat training.

Didn't expect much from 'influencers', but was quite impressed
I've been waiting for this since I saw the female version let's hope it's as competitive
With the female one we got SGTs, with this one its LCPLs. Went exactly how you'd expect
@@RedAequusword
I think this would have been more fair if the Marines were NCOs or Lieutenants but cool vid
It would've been blown out of the water if they got anybody at least corporal, it wouldn't have been a good promo vid for these influencers.
Marines are trained for long term endurance and stress. These young Marines barely look like they were past athletes but besides Boot camp are new to this.Aim sure the purposefully did not get a top notch established Marine.Aim sure the other trainers most are on test.
Kids competing against fully grown men ? Wrong wrong wrong
I'd love to see a video with different Paralympic athletes competing against each other.
What a great competition not trying to be biased or anything but the marines probably have better combat skill and more Tactical knowledge than the influencers as they can solely focus on their workouts
Still great video as always and mad respect to Hiram for the 30pull Ups in 1 go
And obviously for the marines to complete every challenge even if they already lost
They didn’t pick the best guys from a company. Hell some Marines in my company were running 3 miles in 15:30s and myself 17:00.
The marines were kids vs men. Pick 4 marines the same age as the influencers and the results would be completely different.
All three are Motor T operators, don’t know why they all didn’t mention their 3531 MOS in the beginning.
train with firefighters for 72 hours
This is the soldiers in USA 😂😂
This video pissed me off cmon devil dogs😭😭 Dope video tho 🔥
Man only half way through but these are some sad marines.
Yeah he chose a bunch a bunch of teenage boots to compete against dudes in their 30's, can't say I understand the thought process there...
Word
@@RedAequus I like the channel and just hope the reality is that no seasoned marine actually signed up to participate. Somewhat seems reasonable to me
Great video Austin Alexander
Marines lost their Globe and Anchor on this 😅 Good thing you let them keep their Eagle.
Cannot wait to watch. LFG
How old are those Marines? They look small and young compared to the bulky influencers.
yeah Austen, the marines needed men to be involved in this, not those boys.
that dip reference got me.. subscribed- lmao
The US marines: *appear in the video*
Rusia, China, North Korea and Iraq: "Yeah..... I think it´s time to attack....." 🤣🤣🤣
Would be cool to see some SF or Seals go against some high level athletes

“When in doubt pull it out…..deadlift”😂😂😂
Redo this with experienced Marines!
next time you should use grunts just saying …..
All this tells us is that standards are too low in the US military. I thought they were too low in my time, but things have gotten worse.
That's a fact. Soldiers are soft these days. And this is coming from a Soldier. They look at you like your crazy when you actually train like a soldier.(02am rucks/Runs without being instructed to.)
MArines get 🖍🖍🖍🖍🖍🖍
We will never hear the end of this
Too many excuses are being made in the comment section...
They did well but not well enough to beat Fitness guys...
Might just join Marines after seeing how pathetic these guys were. 😂 Thought yall had a mandatory 8 mile run for pt. Yall can’t say ish bout chair force. 😂
Im here just to boost the algoritihim...Austen you better heart this!
got you covered Nicky hehe
Those were the scrawniest examples of marines.
Lmfao they picked the skinniest little boot Marines..
Literally the smallest marines I’ve ever seen… not even a comparison
That was one hell of a test for those newbies
We need a redo with stroll instructors vs influencers
It’s sad seeing the marines not even be able to jack up the log on their shoulders
How is it sad? Not all marines are grunts lmfao, Throw some infantry marines in there and these influencers get dusted.
Aint even a fair challange and them marines what was even that 🙄
This was not a fair match up😅. Some of the marines look like they have never worked out a day in their life.
Size differences and it does matter.
Never give up, that's all about the marines, respect.
One beast of a video! 👊💪
I might have to apply. This looks fun
Let's get drill instructors in here and let's see
2 white t-shirt influencers were bigger than marines,,, anyways, loved the video
Easy guys. Those Marines were on profile 😂
Great video as always Austen! These guys all killed it
Ok well now it’s the thumbnail I wanted it again🙄
The boot struggling with the dips was sad
this video made my sunday better
Marine challenges are the best! This one wasn’t great though. Marines vs calisthenics next?
My biggest question. POGS?
Yet non of these influencers can shoot straight.
Just me noticing Harim didn't lock a single pullup out??
Just looks like that bc of wide grip, the marine dude didn't do the dips properly either
Lol these Marines have been in for a year maybe 2...these influences have been in their profession for how long? Try taking on a 1stSgt who's been doing it for a minute or 2
You should put them against calisthenic dudes
Should of picked a competative unit not some boots
Naturally, the man who practices punching a punching bag for a living is going to hit harder than one who does it sometimes for their gym membership.
Golly thjs wasn’t fair 😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Every Marine knows that the best Marines come from Parris Island.
disgrace... these boots are so weak. I mean how do you lose pull-ups as a Marine
Are these marines clerks?
What about Junior Corpsman vs Junior Marines?
God that's embarrassing to watch
Are you really sure these are marines?, maybe all the stories we've heard and movies we've seen about marines are just hyped!
