114 BS pushups vs 83 actual pushups almost none of Patrick's pushups would have been counted in a real PT test.
Agreed 1000%💀
I was going to say that..... but you beat me too it bob!
Patrick 0 reps
Yeah he didn’t go down all the way or come up all the way
In the Air Force we wouldn’t even count them 😂
Patrick’s effort on the sit ups and push ups was great but failed to do them properly. Atticus got the W in my opinion because of proper execution.
I agree one hundred percent 💯
agreed
Agreed
Only came to the replies for this, cut his reps in half when I counted
I knew I wasn't the only one that noticed it
Atticus actually won. His pushups & situps were on point. Patrick's would not have passed any PT test I ever took.
Imo both failed push up military standards. Atticus did wide arm push ups aka fking chicken wing push ups, patrick did half fk push ups. US marine? Bunch of bullshlt people with lousy standards.
Patrick didn't have proper form
In the push ups
@@garnetmcburnie1739 he didn't go all the way back up, he only went half way
I would expect better from a Sergeant, come on man...
Team Atticus! As a man with long arms that does full reps i def respect his form
Hi. What's the song at the very end.. Thank you
Homeboy was doin jail house reps, NOT Army standard....well, old standard
Atticus actually did full rep push-ups from start to finish and went all the way on each sit-up
and didn’t swing his arms
My tester would’ve been like “1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,” 🤣🤣
It helped him win, no? If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying... Good on him for finding the right corners to cut in order to win. The battlefield isn't fair- so why should he be? In combat, fair fights will either get you wounded or killed.
The US military doesn't believe in fair fights. It intercepts and decodes enemy messages to thwart their maneuvers. It uses drones and satellites to observe enemy movements from above. It hacks into devices all around the world to listen in to, and record everything the enemy is saying when they believe their safe in their own private compounds. It only invades and declares war on third world nations who stand no chance against American forces. Fair fights are a fool's errand
He did the push ups, but his sit-ups were just as trash as the other guys. Knees to elbows or they don’t count. They both got zero
@@mattp6467I assumed they score it different
Its really brave of patrick to do that type of rep on a video representing the marines and not be embarrassed of himself.
Not to mention the fools for counting it..
cringe af
He’s still jacked though.
Dude i thought the same thing!
Marines don't do pushups, don't hold it against him
patrick's form is def gonna improve after this comment section 💀
So fr
Fr, never gonna live it down LOL
As someone who can only do 10 push-ups in a row, i find this hella impressive
Edit:i can now do 20
Are you a beginner?
@@21kpxnda18 Don't forget about age
you doing good i cant even do 10, best i can do is 4 shitty ones, need to build upper body strength
How many can you do now? Ensure they are full reps for max benefits.
awwww keep it up
I love how Atticus maintained his form when Patrick was doing half ups
Patrick is gay
@@kgb4194 or perhaps a passionate about excellence ?? 🤔
@@davinjohnson1110 no just gay
Those PU would not meet USAF Standards.
@@58Herm guy on screen right's push ups suck..0 reps... guy on screen left was ligit and worthy of respect...jmho..
Many of Patrick's sit-ups were also only half-ups. Atticus won based on form.
Other way around imo Atticus was the one with half reps, atleast more then Patrick's both didn't do well in sit-ups but I think Atticus took the pushups
Atticus also won based on mustache.
Neither of them did correct situps. Your hands are suppose to stay on top of your shoulders. Neither did that and would have failed right out the gate.
In Singapore, these half ups are all fails. They suppose to lift up and their shoulders have to touch the knees.
Kaveeer ALMIGHTY GOD----🙏+🙏+🙏
Fun fact: The pass standards in the video refers to the minimum standards for recruits fitness test of all personnel of the PLA (may differ in gender, but it's including civilian personnel).
It's heard that on requirements of the PLA Marine Corps, for 3km carry run it's 11 min 35 sec on pass. The assessments of elite soldiers will not include the things mentioned in the video, but the ones much more rigorous than these.
I have some relatives who are PLA veterans, the test is about the same as the US but the PLA loves ruck marching (hiking in combat gear with a full pack). 30 miles a day is an expectation and even the PLA Air Force has to do all of this.
😂😂😂
The pla is gay
Patrick, I would personally feel embarrassed to cheat on a fitness test, but I guess we have different standards. Good luck to you in your future career.
"Push ups are push ups, you just have to do them"...I'm stilling waiting for Patrick to do his first real push up.
Actually There is not no difference
lmao 😂😂😂
Exactly. They wouldnt have counted on my pt test as an army infantry man. Lock your elbows out patrick!
The best comment
Surprised at the very slow run
Patrick barely did any pushups how did he win that? Atticus was doing them properly going all the way down and up. That a win for Atticus to me in pushups
Exactly! 🤦🏽♂️
Patrik was doing half azz push ups lmao
He’s doing the proper 90 degree lock
Totally agree I can easily do 25 to 30 more fake push ups and situps
Do you understand how hard it would be to do even 100 half push ups in 2 mins? 99.999% of the population couldn’t even do that. Quit being a hater cause you sound stupid.
Those are not sit ups from Patrick, those are crunches 🤣🤣
I grew up in China. We have fitness test for students in middle school too (middle school to high school fitness test entrance examination). For sit-ups the minimum requirement to pass is 50 in 1 min. I find it hard to believe that for adults the fitness test standards are way lower lol
Also, our elbows have to touch the knee to be considered as 1 sit-up!
Damn, really? I WAS able to meet that standard as a kid (for sit-ups, anyway), but I sucked at everything else 😆
Think about how many Chinese schoolers died from those tests over the years.
仰卧起坐五十个是满分好吗。。。最低标准二十几个。人家是想羞辱中国人，但是我们也不能乱讲。
@@MarcoAshford 确实50 个是满分 但是大家都是以满分的标准来衡量 对于我们来说不是满分就是不及格了哈哈哈
Patrick's form on both pushups and situps were substandard and realistically shouldn't have been counted.
Marines do planks now and pullups. lot easier to get max score especially when thats what you train. If they were training pushups/situps past year Im sure they'd each get 25%-50% better. When im not training pushups my max is 50, when I am its 80-100. similar with situps
@@Addiict429 exactly this. a method of training with priority on time under tension. naturally the marine is going to do what feels right out of habit. Utter foolishness to whine and belittle him for doing what he knows how to do best.
Patrick doing the classic half arm head bob. A proper push up is breaking 90 degrees on elbow or chest touching ground and it doesn't count until you lock arms straight again.
If the instructor doesn't call them out on it then they still count
@@lunaticfae4415 fact ammo cans don't need to be locked out
Sorry Patrick. You lose this competition. Your push-ups and setups were questionable at best.
Yes exactly and this is why in the army we do hand release pushups now for PT test because people can’t cheat their form
Head job))
I used lanes 7 and 9 to train 32 years algo. I sprained the right ankle 20 years ago. Now I use my bike to move (I will turn 67 this year!) Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video.
I like how Patrick wasn’t able to cheat on the running like he was on push-ups and sit-ups
As a former US soldier, 114 pushups was more like 20 qualifying pushups, and that is being generous
Especially those last 4 that were counted for patrick
That makes no sense. If he had bad form then more than likely all of them were bad. You can't just "pick a number".
And then you all act like those push ups don't matter at all, when he still did the push up. By the way your old school form was changed because it caused shoulder problems which cost millions in disability compensation.
@@randolph84brown The form isn't the issue, it's that they weren't full extension or depression. Full range of motion of a proper pushup isn't going to cause shoulder problems.
Exactly.
You should learn about the strategy about how to compete with chinese soldier, I know the chinese soldier so much. To be honest, i confess that the average american soldiers are stronger than ours, because of the white gene and good nutrition in the american army such as a lot of meat. but in china, we dont have meat as much as the american army. most of dishes are vegetable, and rarely beef, chichen. also chinese boy like 20 years old are usually weak. i think our physical situation are weaken to american people.However, you know, chinese army , actually not only in the army, like to specially train some special personnel to join the match, just like olympic game, even thought chinese team obtains more gold than the other teams, does it mean chinese people are better than others ? this is not the case, chinese government specially train some persons just to join the match.do you know my meaning. in a sum, if you want to match with chinese people, its better to match by the AVERAGE ONES instead of SPECIAL OR DESIGNATED ONES, sorry for my poor english. Also i would like to make friends with US soldier or Former US soldier, its honored.
My record for push ups in 2 mins in the Australian Army was 72. Anyone who can nail 80 plus has my respect.
Wtf I’m 18 and I’m proud to say I can do 30 in a row one less than a minute
Army has us resting in the up position in situps. I agree the pushups for Patrick . Not high enough. But crunches? What happened to real situps?
@@los__unicos2777 that is good just keep trying and eventually you will be able to do 50 or 80
@@los__unicos2777 ....I'm still not 15 but I can do 40+ in a row in 1 min
@@Hunter-mj8qg I’m stuck at 30 sometimes it drops 20 I’m trying to keep it up consistently
I love these. Learn alot from them. Thanks! This is a great show. Learned alot.
0:30.....Uh,...those aren't real pushups. When I was in Combat Control school, we AIRMEN used to laugh at Marines who couldn't do a real pushup, a real situp, OR a real pull up to save their lives. They also couldn't run very fast or swim very good. They also needed raincoats when it rained. One time, we saw them at the chow hall and it started to rain, and that's when we all said, "It's starting to rain! You Marines need to go back and get your raincoats before you start melting!" I don't know why they got so mad, we were just trying to help. WE didn't mean anything. Oh, and the last time that I tested, I could do 115 REAL pushups in two minutes. I thought that I actually did more, but my cadre took a few off, because he didn't consider them real pushups. I also did 120 REAL situps in two minutes, over 35 REAL pullups in two minutes, and I ran 10 miles in one hour. And there were 2 people who beat me in the running. Anyway, my Tiger Kung Fu...is better than yours...I don't think you're good enough...to avenge your master...
I maxed out the US Army PT test back in the 1990s. Watching this I realize how great shape I was in. Getting old sucks. The only push ups I do now is when I have to lift myself off the toilet I was sitting on so long and my legs went to sleep - all because I was watching TH-cam.
Dude I hear you ..wait to reach your 70s I know what I use to do I get the sitting down thing good luck
That sounds more like a dip (unless you sit in the toilet differently)
I second that, 86-91 USMC
Lol you feel old it was the late 70’s early 80’s when I did PT tests. I’m friggin ancient!!!
@@MikeDarr61 that's what I like to hear and read man. Hope you have some great memories of your past.
Atticus easily takes this win. If Patrick would have done correct push-ups, it may have been close. He only did about 3 correct.
Lmaoooo 3 out of 114 is hilarious!
He did 0 correct didn't lock his elbows once
@@hashtagmateonly to take a break 😂😂😂
and most of his sit ups were also disqualified..
@@hashtagmate might be zero “correct” but pre sure he did more than anyone in this comment section can do😂 “correct” or “incorrect” form
0:06 just started and I know its gonna be best video ever
The overall PLA physical fitness standards seem pretty comparable to the US Army's old APFT standards: 35 push-ups (2 min), 42 sit-ups (2 min), & a 2-mile (~3.2KM) run in under 16:36. The 5X10 shuttle run seems like a very practical fitness test in the military context, & might be useful for the US to adapt. Real combat situations often do not require troops to move particularly long distances, but they do require fast dashes & rapid direction changes under fire to maneuver to the next point of cover &/or concealment. The shuttle run seems like good practice to hone that skill.
as a 30yr Marine dating back to the old prt and cmc readiness tests and finishing up in '90 before crunches were introduced, Patrick would have scored 0 on pushups for not fully extending up and down but honestly the entire test is not really a challenge for any Marine.
Even as a relatively new marine that poor form is embarrassing especially from an nco
I’m glad everyone is calling that garbage out. As I was watching this video all I could think was that Marines must have a far weaker standard on pushups than the army.
to be fair those are the minimum entry requirements. I'm pretty sure Ideally the troop average is higher
@@kertagin1 if a 16 year old American that isnt a soldier can do all that then no you dont have to be fair, those standards are low
@@persuisixh4804 yes I'm sure the us army standards are so much higher for base entry

quarter reps
1/16th reps

Love the channel!
Bring the best marines from Chinese army , These two going down by many seconds 😂
I don't think China has a marine.
Oh please. That sgt didn't do a sigle push up? None of those would've counted in an actual test
@@SleepyN7 Right and his pushup form was kinda of sloppy! Atticus pushup form was way more solid and proper plus he was going down more!
Facts!
it is amazing how much things have changed since i was in. half of those pushups, and all of the sit-ups would not have counted when i was in the service.
They still wont count they were halfway made
Was I the only one yelling, "Zero, Zero, Zero!"?
@@hgrghost_actual i shoutet wtf is that, like my army instructor did to my friend in the army
they still wont 😂
life is a lot easier than it was when us old guys were in the Military, its because they can not get any recruits these days, and of the ones that do apply they have to reject 75% because they can not run around a bathtub.
Austen should have competed against them. That’s the next video I’d like to see!
Yes I want to see too!!
First of all, the push-up requirement is 60 passes instead of 40. Second, the target is for new recruits. Finally, the physical requirements of each unit of the Chinese army are different because they are stationed at different altitudes.
ok
you not going to get objective discussion here. This a US military propaganda just as China has its own.
Atticus the man, doing every rep correctly, immaculate even
Thanks for the opportunity! That was a damn good challenge🙏
Happy belated Marine Corps birthday brother.

Sir, I want you to know that everyone in the comments thinks you did better on the push-ups and sit-ups. You should have won. Also, thank you for your service!
You won that 100% on push ups and sit ups
U Def won bro
Wow it's beautiful how smart the show battle is.
Austen is a real solid dude.
When you are in the military, fitness tests are not about just passing and meeting the minimum standards....its about hitting the gold/silver standards.
Naw
yeah no
if you pass you pass
@@ryszakowy not if your a marine lol
@@ezulon97 Obviously it is with those BS push ups Patrick did.
Tell me you’ve never been in the military without telling me you’ve never been in the military.
Good job to both men. Patrick has insane strength 114 in 2 mins is crazy. I wish I can even do half of his in 2mjns.
If you do 66 then you can do 112 Patrick's half push-ups! 😁
Thanks Jubert that chip is an optocoupler sensor, you can also resolder those circuit terminals at the optocoupler.
Patrick was NOT going all the way down for push ups at all. Half way is SO much easier.
None of Patrick’s push up would even be considered in a real test 😂 any NCO would’ve kept saying “zero, zero, zero”

In the APFT you can't rest in the down position for situps. The base of your neck also has to be above your tail bone at the top position.

Can't do 30 push ups aye aye sir.
1:40 The guy on the right not doing real push up your body had almost to hit the ground! ❤️💪🇮🇱🙏🕊️
i love the most like this video we support you bro keep rocking
For push up min are 40, expected average is 60. For set up (pushing on legs is illegal per Chinese standard btw) the min is 50 and expected average is 80. For 3 km run, the min is 13:50 the expect average is 11:30. If any individual goes below minimum, he/she (yes, this standard is from 2006 and the minimum applies to both genders. the newer 2016 standard is separated by gender. For example min for push up have raised to 50 for men) will disqualify and if the cohort goes below expected average, they will get additional remedial training until they pass (or DQ enough low performers)
Also not cover in this video is running with 20 kg combat gear, (minimum standard is 26 minutes and expected average is 23 minutes) as well as a 400 meter obstacle course (minimum at 2:30 with no expected average). According to online comments, there two items are where recruits tend to fail, since they are not common in civilian physical training. The entire standard has 9 items is the basic standard across the entire military, different branches and units has their additional test item. For example the ground force (army) has 25km march in 20 kg combat gear added to the standard repertoire.
And? Why would they make them gear and run? They aren’t doing their PT test, this is for a content video.
@@drkphoenix097 Because the real, actual purpose of this video is to show viewers how easy or difficult the Chinese army PT standard is. And by not doing it the way the Chinese would, this assessment isn't accurate.
It's not like you should be hitting the minimum of PT tests if you're a marine either. The fact they compared to minimums of the PLA is just odd.
An expected average of 80 push ups? An average run pace of about a 6:20 mile seems very fast, even for a sub-2 mile run.
In the US military, these would be pretty high performing standards across all units. Did you serve? The implication of this would be that the entire Chinese military is being held and maintained at a significantly higher fitness standard than their Western counterparts.
@@caleb3909 avg 80 is set ups , avg 60 is for push up. I did not serve, this is just from published regulations. However, the consensus online is that these regulation are strictly enforced. Since the competition is fierce for recruits to become enlisted and for enlisted to stay. Since in the PLA anyone serves more than the initial 2 years automatically made NCO rank, and less than one third would make the cut.
Military fitness standards must have changed drastically over the past 40 years. I joined the Army in 1982 (served 31+ yrs) and did 86 “correct” push-ups in 2 min on my Basic PT Test. That was about average for my group. These guys would have failed miserably. None of their push-ups would have met the standard. I can hear my drill counting “Zero, zero, zero, zero. Do one correctly and I’ll count it.” Having pretty muscles is great for the beach, but functional fitness is what gets the mission accomplished.
Military fitness standards are in the toilet. I retired in 2001 and it was a far cry from 1978 when I joined
Push ups aren't part of it

The University of Iowa Technology Institute has helped validate the correlation between the six events and CST. See how the six ACFT events - Deadlift, Power Throw, Hand Release Push-Ups, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Leg Tuck, and 2-mile run - translate to CST.
@@tbbigrocker149 marine corps standards not army
In the British Army we do 1.5mile as a squad, then run the same distance straight after individually, it has to be under 10.5 minutes. My roomate could do it in 7.5 miniutes, the lad was an absolute beast.
Some tips when running: Form is everything. Make sure everything from your pace to your running stance is all up to par.
Breathing pattern is extremely important as well
@@chickencutlet3 Truly though...once I figured that out, I started to run better. Still isn't exactly my idea of fun overall.
Just saying, the runway should be 400m per lap, which means 3km is exactly 7.5 laps and not 7.44. Also the actual standard has a few more tests but some of them require special fields so it’s understandable they skipped it 🙂
A lot of Patrick’s push ups were only half push ups. Some of them shouldn’t have been counted but overall he did do a lot and passed the Chinese pt test.
there are kids who would not only beat him but in good form
Atticus beat Patrick on both push-ups and sit-ups!!!!! Sgt had icky form 😂😂
I thought I was losing my mind watching those pushups and situps. Glad everyone else noticed and I wasn't crazy. Why is nobody talking about that run? He kept saying 7.44 laps but 3k is exactly 7.5 laps. (400 meter track x 7.5 = 3k). Not to mention when they showed the track and the blue trash can, it was just around the curve from the start which is only .25 of a lap not a half so they didn't even complete the test.
To cover 3k in Cooper test you must really move your legs. They were more like jogging.
Obviously some fake here.
@@miroslavkowalski5783 it's actually supposed to be 5k
one guy was doing 1/2 push ups unreal the other were great!
Army vet here. The Army PFT was 2 miles run. My Best run was 11:27. Sit ups 87 in 2 minutes. His Sit ups were pretty bad though and in the Army we can’t lay back. We can only rest up. His push ups did not break the plane either. Still have my award physical fitness badge and award. 😂
For as long as I was in the Corps, our PFT was always 3 miles. The last time I ran the PFT was the year I retired, 1991. I was 47 years old, and my time was 22:14. But then, I was never very good at running.
@@oldgysgt it used to be 3 miles as far as I know for you guys. We had marines on our post since I was an infantry post.
This was really cool to see. I’ve never took the time to see what other countries training consisted of. I’d like to see a couple of our guys compete against a couple of soldiers from another country. Doing our fitness test and theirs.
Me too! 🇺🇸🇨🇱
This video was actually translated into a Chinese video website. One comment said he was a PLA veteran and the performance of these two guys can't meet the basic requirements of his former unit. 40 push-ups in 2 min is actually achievable in 1 month for common office sitters who do light practice once a day. My elementary school PE teacher acutally require us to do 40+ situps in 1 min. They must have found this fake standard on some unknown source.
Actually, to be eligible for enlistment, the running requirement is 5 km in 23 mins for those 25 years and under. Those over 25 but under 30 y.o., the cut off is 23'30". . Not 3 km.
I am training for the Marine Corp and it takes me 60 minutes at least to run 5 miles.
@@rockyroads8802
That's equivalent to 8 km.
Wishing you good luck with your future career.
Atticus won 100%, his form was perfect and he never let up.
And my Chinese middle school wants us to have 50 sit-ups a minute for a perfect score on the test. It's basically, anyone who is not overweight can join the army. And not be too short. And these are actually the exercises I got tested on in middle school PE class, besides basketball and other sports.

AF vet here. Be fun to get vets together and do weird mental/physical challenges with new recruits.
Also from AL. There's lots of vets up hyaannnhh in Huntsville
Do the overhead hang. Most people can't last a minute. Shoot for five minutes. Walk up stairs on your hands. Can anyone do push-up with enough force to push from the floor to a standing position? Puint AND throw a football 100 yards. Back to track. If people worked out with a metronome, they could achieve an 8 second Olympic 100 or a 3:30 mile. When people hear a fantastic concert pianist, they say "HOW CAN PIANO PLAYERS PLAY THAT?" The answer is a metronome. You start very slow and speed it up (by such small increments, you can't tell you are going faster.) Lots of reps, each step of the one-hundred at the same tempo, and then, turn it up one notch for the next 100. The next day, back of a little on what you did the day before and end up going faster (top-out) than the day before. I was told Michael Johnson, oLYMPIC Gold Medal in the 200 from Baylor, used a metronome. I was an All-State Horn player in Texas while in High School. I used a metronome to push my fast pieces way faster than the suggested tempo. When it came to auditions at the right tempo, -piece of cake. You know, we can't fly because of gravity and our physical make-up, but I believe we have not even started to achieve what we can physically achieve with the right training and determination.
Atticus absolutely devoured Patrick on the run
haha very cool. good job guys!
For the situps I think he did many of them correctly. I was told by my jrotc instructor all you need to make sure to do is get your elbows to touch your calves.
Atticus took his time doing the full 90. Patrick was going for speed, and just did 45
The requirements they gave you and what they actually do are two completely different things
Then tell what they actually do. We would be curious...
@@a.t6066 why should they reveal it
Never UNDERESTIMATE your opposition!!!!!
Come to Vaudreuil, Quebec, Canada. It has some good parks, tracks and low mountain running trails.
I'm a Marine and the PFT when I served was 20 pullups, 80 sit ups in 2 mins, and a 3 mile run in 18 minutes. For a perfect score.
Push ups... All the way up and All the way down!
More or less same now except plank replaced situps
I remember the change to that. Prior to that, you might be asked to do a rope climb or pushups.
Many Chinese infantry soldiers can complete the 3km under 11 and we completed each other in shuffle run to see who can beat it in 20s. Some Tibetans can run 3km under 12 minutes on high plateau which is very impressive.
That sounds easy. I can run a mile in 4:28 and 3 miles in 17:38. I don’t know how that transfers to 3KM though.

Sit ups were a joke. We had to keep our hands on our legs at all times and our wrist had to touch knees. Backside could not move
Here is the thing folks... The body makeup makes a big difference.. The Chinese build is smaller and lighter in comparison the current challengers.. So when the lighter body is doing the 40 pushups...that physical body weight makes up the push and pull with gravity...example..A 6ft 5inch, Bench Press say 200 pounds will have a longer distance to move the weight than say a 5ft 5inch individual... The strength will be there but there is more effort to move by the much taller individual....
Taller people also run faster. Heavier people will have a harder time with push ups etc.
Patrick even felt the need to defend himself because he knew those reps weren't quality.
Your jokes man,cracks me up all the time
When I was an active duty navy I was big in keeping physically fit, and these exercises that you're presenting were no problem. But that was a long, damn time ago. I'm 60 years old if I can get from my couch to my pick up truck. I'm doing good LOL
Do north Koreans test next, they stand no chance. First event is eating 300 calories for the week. Second event is cleaning picture frames in your front room that get inspected by state guards (or else). Third event is literally deciding to make a better life for your own and forgetting you have 3 generations of family, or do step 1&2 again for the rest of your life.
Bro what the hell is your channel?
The guy who is counting Patrick push ups is the type who would make sure you get the maximum point for crunches in your CFT😅.
You mean PFT? we don’t do crunches in our CFT
Patrick, I was a grader in the Army. You hardly ever broke the lateral plane. i'd have stood you up at 10 and sent you to the back of the line doing those 1/2 pushups, son! Gotta break that plane.
It aint just the pushups dawg...even the situps were half arsed
Last I checked your arms had to come up to your knees unless Chinese standards are different.
@@truffle6082 they were doing the same style required for the Marine Corps PFT. On the up motion shoulder blades have to come off the deck, fore arms have to touch the thighs. On the down motion the shoulder blades just have to touch the deck.
Back of the line for you, peasant! 😅🤙🏽
LOL... completely agree
Two questions... Are the Marines performing the test the way they do it in CCCP? and does the Chinese test require the wearing of wargear? Boots and utes.?
The Caribbean is a nice place to have one of these Trinidad
I'm sure the Chinese Army also has a close-quarter combat component. Would love to see that where business is done between two individuals.
What is that sanshou?
@@MbisonBalrog kick boxing
The Sgt did way too many half reps for push ups and sit ups
That's looks awesome training
The Cpl. was trained right on those sit ups with the chin up.
Air Force friend challenged me to a push-up competition, I did 50 nose to floor push-ups, and when it was his turn, those were the crappiest push-ups I’ve ever seen, and our friend who was there completely agreed too, they were even worse than Patrick’s
Marine push-ups look a lot easier than the army ones I was used to
Push ups aren't a part of the Marine Fitness Test. They do pull-ups
You should have done chinese special units test
Atticus knew he didn't have to say anything...that people would notice he was doing real reps...and he was right!
Sgt Sheehan did 0 pushups.
I would love for you to take an entire platoon and have them all take the test. Not just grab two PT ringers. I have confidence even an average Army unit could meet the standards as well. But I'd love to see it put to the test.
And it would be interesting to see if they gender normed it.
I saw you did the Army Ranger 12-mile ruck march. A suggestion for your next physical test challenge: The Polish Lekka Piechota (Light Infantry) shooting competition, 36-hour version. It looks like they try to pick physical challenges that simulate actual tasks like carrying mortars, ammo cans, orienteering, and marches. You can only use what you carry with you for the duration of the event.
