I TRIED U.S MARINE CORPS PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST

I was gonna guess a butt plug of sorts. Close enough
Ohh
Oh no... and Will said it sounded interesting 😂
Blue mountain sate
I think Will would be down.
Will looks at rope
“Yeah, that’s my most confident thing.”
3 minutes later…
“I don’t think I can’t do it.”
i think its a slippy rope or something becuase someone like will would easily climb a rope like one i use and i could do one that is meters high with only hands at 13
@@Emre-yx4zt you have to remember he just got through a pretty tiring course so ofc he would be too tired or at least it would be understandable
@@nixxlol4308 the course wasnt very tiring especially on things that would be used for a rope climb and juding by the fact he said the rope is slippy and the marines using a specific foot techniqyue indicates its different no matter how tired will was he was stronger than a 13yr old me for bodyweight aswell
In another video he climbed a rope with just hands. Guess he wasnt fresh enough now.
@@MrLugar45 probably just a slippy rope as the marines had to use a techniqyue to climb it
As a marine i actually appreciate the fact that you show how hard it is to train like we do and you did not that bad for your first time
No you're not
@@shelbyGT40bro every marine plays cod mobile, dont you know?
I love when he tries to recruit you, too real.
Former active duty Marine here. You nailed it, you were scared but you tried. That's what it's like to be in the military. You move through your fears and get it done. GJ on doing this.
There is no such thing as a former Marine. Thank you for your service. Semper Fi
@@tipsing6421 former active duty ty for the catch :-) Semper Fi indeed
@@tipsing6421 As a Marine. 92'-00'.
The worst part of boot camp was constantly drinking water!!!
When the drill instructor said "Head call!!!"
It was three recruits to a toilet and two to a urinal. 60 recruits dying to piss. Only 4 toilets and two urinals.
We always joked ," don't cross streams!!"
@@tipsing6421 you hit the nail on the head. SemperFi
Thank you for your service man
I like how he gives the "I'm just here to have fun, it's okay if I fail" disclaimer AFTER he already failed Level 1.

But how he kept in the part about the being so confident on the rope and then failing is priceless. He’s a pretty great and humble guy.
😂😂😂😂
I’m a 17 yo senior in high school and I’m going to meps soon. I’ve had family members in the army but they rarely talk about it. I’ve been in a slump lately and have also been a little scared (reality of it all hitting me and what not). But this video has gotten me motivated and happy to be able to soon serve my country. So thanks Will.
I believe in you I know you can do it don't stop push forward and you will accomplish your goal's.
Current Active Duty army, serving in the 82nd Airborne Division. Piece of advice, during basic training you might have doubts or hate the experience but trust me once it’s all over and they begin to call you soldier instead of recruit you’ll look back and appreciate the times you had during basic. When you go to you’re next training (for your MOS) AIT, You will begin to fly by everything. Once you get to your unit you will realize the real army isn’t like the training environments at all. Last piece of advise, please please please read your contract, make sure it’s what you want, rest the waters first meaning signing a 3 or 4 year, don’t be like me and sign a 6 year because you may realize it’s not particularly what you had hoped for.
My only advice is, it's just a mind game, every time you wanna give up or think it's too hard, just kick that to the curb and remember why you wanted it in the 1st place. It's mind over matter, if you don't mind it don't matter.
Much strength and willpower, get it!
@@jarodtrent9819I signed a six, love hated every minute, did almost 10 b4 medically retirement.
Once it's over it's a lot like that feeling after basic, you look back on it fondly, miss being in so much, but always knew I would at that.
The scene from 17:00 looked straight out of a movie where everyone was pushing Will to reach the end line, loved every bit of this vid!
Wow that was seriously alot harder then I expected. Dangerous too.
He indeed trained harder than last time
It’s normal for a father to worry about his son
Nothing is as good as hitting the rocks with your knees doing buddy rushes in the infantry marines lol. Love you Greg!! I'm almost 30 now and have wrecked knees from it.
That’s what she said
The few the proud the Marines, Soldiers and marines are general superior in endeavors such as these than your common folk, or civilians as we like to refer to them. Those who are in combat arms know that our physical standards are far higher than most! I am 11b in the Army, Infantry all day Hooah! However I still respect the Corp!
"Where is you happy place?"
"Not here" is the most Marine thing I've heard in a long time🤣 OOH RAH
No better way to define your enlistment 🤣🤣
Man, these guys have such infectious energy. Love the humor and discipline.
Shout out to those awesome Marines! They were so encouraging. Will did phenomenal for his first time attempting all of that.
As a former Marine. I really enjoyed this one Will.
Keep putting out great content. One of the best fitness role models on youtube.
No such thing as former semper fi
Yo what’s a silver bullet hahaha
@@unsure4857 thermometer they shove up your butt when you pass out lol
@@contagious_noob3651 I was about to say the same thing
I thought you guys were Marines for life.
As a Marine, I love that you took the time to do this. Really puts into perspective just how hard we train. Thanks for showing love Will!
@@mandoloriano It’s not easy, as you can see in this video. Those are the yearly requirements just to stay a Marine. But it’s all about how bad you wanna do it.
🦅👊🏻🙏🏻
“Just how hard we train”
It’s really not that insanely difficult
Moderate levels of fitness is literally all someone needs, in order to maintain their fitness and accomplish these physical tasks 😂
Why do marines always act like they’re national level athletes
@@jason2949 Dude facts. These are all very standard borderline easy feats of athleticism.
@@phil5037 - he said while sitting on his couch eating chips
This video rocked. The awesome legacy of the Marine Corps captured through the toughness, spirit, and good nature of the troops along with Will's competitive spirit and good nature. Awesome stuff.
Good to see the Marines laughing with him not at him. Great guys.
No egos here just a bunch of guys pushing each other to be better. Instead of simply bullying Will. They pushed him to do more than he thought he could and were clearly proud when he did! That's fucking sick 🤘🏻
The Corps is a giant brotherhood, it doesnt matter if you suck or if you're the best of the best, everyone is extremely supportive of each other and pushes each other to do more even if the person in question has already mentally given up. You just gotta have the mindset to do what you dont think you can do, and if you cant do it then theres no problem because everyone gets more than one chance. It's the main reason why the Corps will always be the best branch and the one that stands out the most, I have yet to encounter a Marine who isnt supportive of his fellow Marines. Semper Fi!
i see a lot of military egos in the comment section. its pretty sad.
Marines are a different breed. You get a lot more big egos in other armed services in comparison. You’d think it’d be the other way around because marines are the best of the best at what they do. But the brotherhood runs stronger. At least that’s what I’ve been told by people who have served in the army/then marines.
Love how encouraging the marines were. They could've perfectly laughed at Will's situation but instead decided to motivate him and recognize his hard work. Great comradery. I wish all of us had these types of people motivating us during our workouts.
Well yeah they know where he lives to get a good recruit now🤣
@@laisphinto6372 😹
"Situación" hah
@@TroutButterspanish for situation 🤷🏽♂️ when you know both spanish and english you will have issues like this both verbally and written. Because we share a lot of words with just 1 or 2 letter slight diff.
That’s how Marines are. We support each other. No Marine left behind.
As a Marine you crushed the events man those are hard as hell, congratulations.
I love this video. The ending almost brought a tear to my eye for the people who haven’t served it’s so hard to understand the pain he went through to make this video he deserves everyone’s respect after this.
As a former Marine I gotta say you did a helluva job for doing them all in one day. Great work.
I appreciate that!
Hey devildog, once a Marine always a Marine
@@LukeShrimp kill
@Actually TH-cam 😂😂😂
@Actually TH-cam and you better be up at balls- you're pulling a Superman shift
The fact that these badasses were there supporting Will and not letting him quit on himself was enough to bring tears to my eyes. I was also rooting for Will👏 amazing job Will!!!! 👏
You had tears in your eyes watching this ? 🤔
Sad part was that he gave up tho...
I was laughing the whole time
Marines won’t let you give up that’s just what we do
man you have much tears
As a former Marine (i am not) this video is amazing the way u faced all the task just mad respect,i remembered my training days and i am emotional now
Lmao “(I am not)” 💀🤣
Currently in. Mad respect. Love to see you getting after it!
This looks like one of the hardest challenges he's put himself through so far. What a legend Willy is.
Props to the Marines for doing this too!
Will got all the cardio he needs for 2023. 😂
It is tough.. forsure
Willy?
At least this time he didn't have to eat 10,000 calories on top of all the physical work lol
As a former marine the fact you did the O- course, PFT, and CFT all in one day that was good shit! Respect
once a marine always a marine, semper fi
Should of added Swim Qual on top of that too lol
I Can barely do my pft bro💀 imagine all three of these
you're not a former marine bro, you still are
Ooorah takes a lot of heart to be one of us, thanks for taking the challenge and showing it’s not easy! You did great
I love how they cheer him on and support him, so kind :)
I spent six years in the Marines and the thought of a PFT run is still a pain, but running all three in the same day takes some balls. That was definitely enjoyable to watch. He was doing it for fun, but when a promotion is on the line you can definitely push even harder through those events.
lol I commented something similar to this before I read this. Yeah man, thinking about getting max scores really gets your ass moving, which really adds to the amount of hurt you get from these events. Overall fun.
That was what I was thinking. They probably don't do all of them same day when they are training right?
@@lisamiranda5653 No. You'd almost never do all of them on the same day. Though sometimes we would do pre-workouts before them.
Those marines all seemed really kind and funny. I'm glad everyone got to have fun together and we got to see how hard they work.
Alot of them are like this.
Every marine ive met is so supportive and such gentlemen.
There's a personality type test you have to take before at MEPS. They know who they want.
I think Will found his people with this one
bro really thinks this sin't state mandated propaganda lmao
@@smitefulaxe1344 I can't tell if you're trolling or not but no, I really don't think moderately popular Canadian TH-camr's video where some low ranking U.S. marines goof around and do exercises together, saying nothing about politics or their country's history, is propaganda.
Even if it is propaganda, it wasn't very effective considering I still don't support the US military agenda. Sometimes things can just be fun and innocent and you can appreciate people without liking their employer.
Great support from the Marines, especially on that last section. Great effort! Well done.
That's awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I loved how all the Marines were so supportive
Dude, it’s great how the intensity picks up on those courses via Marines verbally motivating you. Sure, you could’ve probably felt less fatigued filming on your own at home with a mock lane setup. But when you’ve got a group of stacked and jacked dudes in uniform getting in there with ya it’s a whole ‘nother experience.
Now replace those marines with Drill Instructors😂
@@kevinarevalo4747 bruhhh I can feel the gravel in my throat already
When Will said he knew how to do the rope obstacle course "with all arm" I knew we were in for a rough day 😂
There was this one drill instructor in my company that used two ropes, one in each hand, and used only arms to get to the top. Man was extremely fit
I heard the Marines "voice of experience" chime in when he said... "ya sure you dont want me to show you a few techniques" I KNEW He KNEW SOMETHING The other didnt - right after he confidently said "all arm"....lol.
The best part of this video is at the end when every single guy is right there with you, every step, encouraging you to push through!
The level of encouragement and comadery is awesome!
Can we just acknowledge and appreciate the editing? Whoever the editor is has been doing the Lords work, damn
Thanks so much for the kind words, Rasheed! (editor)
@@EditorMusket hey, rly amazing work. The comedic timing was on point
@@EditorMusket Hey man you went beyond on this one. great work.
Gotta make another comment. My time in the Corps 50 plus years ago helps me to this day. I’m 73. I’ve been self employed 43 years as a contractor/carpenter/builder. I’m still at it with ZERO intention of retiring. The Corps taught me that my physical/mental limits are way out beyond what one thinks they are. I learned that I can maintain forward motion in a shit storm. The camaraderie , esprit de Corps ....great friendships made bad situations survivable. Marines don’t quit. They laugh when challenged and push/pull their buddy if necessary to move forward. I think of my time in the Corps daily and thank God I enlisted. I was 17. A kid. I will be Semper Fidelis...Always Faithful till the day I die. Dave Heitman Sgt., USMC 1967-1970 19 months in Vietnam

Thank you for your service!
thank you for your service
Thank you❤️
Great message on the video. Randomly came here and glad I watched. Kudos to everyone on it.
I could see that this is his best video so far and the motivation in this video from everyone was way better than the motivation I seen any gym, including the gyms in his videos I literally liked the video for trying. You did great and you reminded me how important it is to have that male bond and to not quit. I appreciate that.
And this is why Coach Greg is such a big advocate for cardio. This was brutal.
I read that twice as a “big avacado” at first 😂
Because Cardio is literally 98 percent of the things you do as a Marine.
coach greg is a clown though
Don't forget to train the most important muscle folks.
All I have to say is, if you think you can run, try a boot and utes run. STILL puckers my asshole and I used to do the 3 mile in 21 minutes-ish. 🤣
Excuse me?!?! My boy at 8:06 with the steezy shorts was holding a vape just minutes before they go out for a 3 mile run. That takes some damn dedication to be able to run that while vaping.
Opens the lungs so u run better lol
You see it a lot surprisingly, last pt test i did my damn squad leader did the same shit
Let’s see them do it when they’re 50 if they keep vaping. Shit is gross.
I had a buddy while I was still in, he would smoke a cigarette before the pft and smoke everyone. Idk how he does it.
@@mimo4714Guy likes to smoke things.
That looked intense as hell!!! Great Job, Will!! You're an inspiration for sure!
Mad props to you brother. Loved the banter with those Soldiers. Watching from New Zealand.
These are some good Marines, especially the guy vaping during the 3 mile run. I remember those days when everyone was smoking cigs right before we started the 3 mile run. Classic. Salty. I never watched your videos but this one made me subscribe. Great job!! 🇺🇸
LOL. I was one of those pre/post-run smoke pit Marines. My average weight was around 230, 22 minute 3 mile, 20 pull ups, 100 crunches (don't know when they switched to planks). good times!
The army used dip. Why stop nicotine intake DURING the run?
@@blen801 2022 they switched
@@user-il9ze9py8c Lots of marines had a lip in during our runs. I'll never forget the smell of the beer sweats and dip. good times.
@@syienth1 I used to have loose dip and once I swallowed it on the run. I almost puked everywhere.
Ya gotta love the Corp! Love the encouragement the were giving! Reminded me of my time at Paris Island back in79!
I remember seeing a video you talking about when you were younger and struggled with weight and you've come so far. Obviously we don't know you personally by watching these videos but you comes across as genuine and all around a good person. It's cool to see you grow and become a confident grown up. I like that you show the challenges too. You did a great job. Not many people can do most of these challenges.
And Will is in pretty damn good shape so just shows the fitness level of out Marines
The Marines are overall the fittest branch.
The only thing I miss about the army was the friends I made, having people there to motivate you to keep going and not give up. Don’t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done.
"Don't stop when you're tired. Stop when you're done." OMG, I love that. Where is that quote from?
While I often question WTF our higher-ups in government are up to, I have always admired our servicemen and women in our military. I knew they worked their asses off, but seeing this is like WHOA! Serious badasses!
Will is amazing-- funny AF and inspirational as well. I've lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. To try all 3 levels in one day is awe-inspiring. YOU are a Legend, young man, and I am so glad I found your channel.
I respect him so much for doing this and making it real and entertaining!!!!!
This team is amazing, so supportive!
I don’t care what your fitness level is, this looked BRUTAL! Mad respect for you doing that. 😮
One thing that surprised me about this was just how nice the marines were
we are trained not to show ass
Of course they take the nicest ones to make videos. I was in the German army for 8 years and it's the same there. They choose the people for PR, of course.
@@tonytimedenice Germans? were they immigrants or something?
Baha most Marines are just bros 🤣
Loved seeing them all root for/push Will on that last one. All heart.
Your honesty in your videos are the best bro 🙏🏼 nice video
Just give the editor of the video a raise already. That final test was hollywood worthy.
God Damn.
LMAO thanks for the kind words Thiago (editor)
@@EditorMusket incredible job, dude. Gongrats.
@@EditorMusket +1 on that, was sick. Loved the grenade dirt effects haha
@@EditorMusket your editing got me bricked up fr 😈
@@EditorMusket He's right though, with that last run, I was imagining a chopper waiting for him at the finish line, in like an emergency evac situation. I even said outloud to myself... "man, this is a quality production". GG
Having completed many CFTs over the years, and having monitored hundreds, I’ve become intimately familiar with the sequence of events during the maneuver under fire and have seen everything that could possibly happen during the event. Thusly, no words can describe how taken aback I was when the grenade “exploded” during the grenade toss.
Shit caught me way off guard 😅
Lmao

i jumped lol
Hahaha...oorah
Lmao
i Love the motivation from the whole squad ! it's so awesome !!!
aww these guys were the best. Really puts into perspective the brotherly and life long ties a lot of men create with their squad mates while in the service. Loved this one Will- and honestly, you freakin crushed it. I was hyping you out loud on the last one! 😂
I've been in the Marine Corps 20 years and although I can max out these events I've never done them all in one day. Plus over time you learn tricks like techniques to climb the rope and proper form to fireman carry. You actually did really well on all of the tests. Nice job!
Love your videos! Thanks for creating, sharing and taking on new challenges.
I'd be disappointed if there's no communal shower footage, Will.

This was a great video. I've been a career fireman for 4 years now, and i would love to see you try our fitness tests and fire academy drills.
This was a joy to watch. It reminded me of my times with the Marines as a Corpsman.
Watching them all run with you at the end, yelling for you to sprint was epic! It made me think about how if that were in the battlefield you would be by yourself carrying a heavy pack or injured brother. They wouldn't be there to push you to move but all of your training involved they're support in your ability to push past your limits, building you up and giving you motivation to keep going in the face of extreme adversity. So each time you were faced with having to push yourself you would be reminded of all the support you have from your brothers.
Beautifully put 💯
Um they aren't RANGERS or SEALS they have 20 guys around them all the time while in combat 😅
Lol I’ve never seen Will this scared for a challenge before but that goes to show he really is getting out of his comfort zone.
Great job! The fact that you even did them back to back and your time wasn't bad. The lvl 3 though, I was feeling you on those tool boxes 😅 What they go through isn't something people can just do and you did! Shoutout to the marines there! They got the positive vibes and I love that!
These Marines are AWESOME! Love it!!! Salute from Germany!!!
always respect Will's willingness to try anything and everything. scoring in 1st class without technically training for it for a few months is super respectable. honestly a 25 minute 3 mile is very good too for someone who doesn't run hardly ever. by far the best fitness channel
vaping while running and being a marine is crazy
You're a fantastic guy Tyler. Great teacher❤
A lot of my friends joined the marines. They came back strong af. Got mad respect for them
Thats right Will, in a Marine course its not about trying to be the best. Its about doing your best and help your teammates across. That shows something far better than being a champion, it shows leadership.
pretty sure that is how it is in every single team game, military unit, corporation, school class, group of friends, etc. Anything done as a group in this world, will have this dynamic going on. The Marines are not somehow unique in this regard
Also, having "champs" can oftentimes help a group feel more unity. Not everything is supposed to be some happy woke place without any competition.
Matter of fact, "Excellence" is also a Marine motto...

Good shit bro not everyone can go out and do a military pt test and here you are getting it done great job bro!!
The marine hitting the vape before the running is the most military shit ever 😂😂😂
Seeing this and remembering that I barely could run 1.5 miles in the Air Force for minimum time tells me I would have either gotten in the best shape of my life in the Marines or have been medically discharged for breaking everything in my body lol. Respect to you for even trying and salute to the Marines getting it done every day.
Love watching these videos. I miss everything about the Corps. Some of the best and some of the worst times of my life. But I'm 5th civ div recliner plt. Now. My best PFT was a 295. Could never make it to 300. Always my run time stopping me
Only difference from your fitness compared to there’s is that they make $1,800 a month and you make $1,800 an hour for it
The fact that Will did all this in one day is commendable.
These marines are seriously jacked. Bigger than most fitness influencers you see these days
mad respect for the marines training wherever you guys are.
Man Will ur whole life is about having fun 👏👏👏👏💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️
You’re one of the reasons I was fit enough to become a Marine so watching this was p cool
The fact that he did all three fitness tests all in one day shows how strong he is physically and mentally. Also, crazyyy bc I’m stationed in San Diego and could’ve witnessed one of the coolest and inspiring TH-camrs out there.
Loved these dudes energy. The one vaping while running🤣🤣I've done that mid-cardio when I'm the only person in my gym lmaoo. Great job Will :)
all my respects for the young marines, they are like a brotherhood. Great Job overall 4 all of the crew. Greetings from México
I’m literally leaving for Marine Corps bootcamp tonight
Get some oh rah
best of luck man
Good luck man. Ur gonna need it. I thought I was gonna make it through with ease and I was mistaken and I’m just Air Force😅
See you on the field 🤝
Will and the Marines giving everyone a reality check who thinks they are fit..including me lol!!!
There’s fit, and there’s USMC fit. Big difference.
I used to be australian army and the physical tests and obs courses are a whole different mentality. Obs courses are mainly technique but the PFT is mental aptitude
There's fit. Then there's triathlon fit.
Will, you did an outstanding job! Well done!
I love the camaraderie. Really nice energy throughout the video.
I got out of the Marines in 2016 and this video is great, mad respect for you going out there and doing the course, PFT and CFT all in one day, that's insane!!! Shout out to these Marines, these dudes are great and give a perfect glimpse of how marines act and goof around on a daily basis! Good stuff!
Funny, never met a marine that wasn’t likable.
That's great, loved to see the comradery in this short video. Even partly loved the environment in the Bundesheer in Austria.
Firefighter training up next will. I promise you’ll enjoy it. A lot of the things we did in the academy were so tough but so much fun.
I loved this!! Thank you!
I was in the US Army and loved doing the confidence courses. Hope you had a great time 💙🇺🇸
