I Tried the Army Air Assault Course (Rakasan)

[@Ericliaoo]

Little kids seeing the monkey bars "Hold my juice. I got this"

[@84CORVETTEBILL]

That truly was a funny comment! 😂 👍

[@DeathBringer769]

I used to own those monkey bars back when I was a kid, lol.

[@buffywasright]

For the blisters inside your hands, clean with antibacterial soap like Hibiclens, apply some povidone-iodine like Betadine, then apply sterile gauze inside the hand, and wrap it. Take off the gauze and wrapping at night so the wounds dry. Repeat the next day. Should be fine in 2 weeks. 👌

[@t.2338]

Aquaphor bro - apply it several times a day and you'll be back on the bar in 2-3 days

[@glitched2797]

His girl is a critical care nurse so I'm sure she'll patch him up proper 😁

[@ctjctj8573]

What about foot blisters ?

[@Pugrug.]

Not ever use betadine on open wounds. It’s terrible for the underlying tissue and will definitely prolong the healing time. Just use soap and warm water, if not that, use benzalkonium chloride.

[@carolemerle9995]

No, not Betadine. That stuff dries out your hands.

[@jimclark6256]

Austen never hit the walls with his foot first. Used upper body strength. Wow. On the monkey bars, the most important thing is to have a forward, controlled body swing. I use to be good at this type of thing. But now at 79 years old, when I get pumped up to go and do some type of exercise after watching these videos, I go and get a candy bar and rest, the feeling soon goes away .

[@EmperorPrinc3]

You guys only did 3 obstacles... There's 9 total at the Rak playground. Now do all 9 of those obstacles 9 times while also running around the Rak pit after each completed obstacle. We call that the tourture course. Take around 1 hour to complete. It's even more fun when it's raining. 101st Screaming Eagles!!! 2-506th Currahee!!!

[@shuvo7795]

Ok boss

Is it at Campbell?

[@averyprolawncare5273]

Well you both did it a million times faster than I could have... nice job Austin .. ain’t no shame in trying something new AND completing it

[@breadpirateoverhere]

Dude Austen straight up just doing pull ups over those walls geeze. HOLY SHIT man Austen you CRUSHED that course so hard. I couldn't believe it, insane feat of strength god damn.

[@lonelylillamb5802]

Bro I struggled with the monkey bars in BCT so watching level hard brought the memories back

[@bigcountry55]

Hooah and Ooyah to both of you, great job. An active life is the best life you can live so keep pushing. I put in 8yrs Navy and 4yrs Army before I was forced out. Glad I found the channel!!

[@combats5787]

Perfect video to watch well on HW break

[@joellytle8969]

This is nothing like the actual Air Assault obstacle course from what I've seen. My son just did it last week.

[@godlyprometheus8182]

I pass by this course every day to work! I just got stationed at Fort Campbell about a month ago.

[@bijornswordraise2916]

Definitely a challenge to learn the little tricks in completing in this challenges.

I watch the michael eckert vids and that guy is an absolute beast when it comes to fitness and strength training.

I love watching these challenge videos. But it's always fit people taking them on. I'm thinking about starting a second channel where I take on these challenges as a totally normal hefty dude with a gold standard dad bod to prove to the couch warriors who think they can do these.... really can't. lol Good job!

Epic duo 🇺🇸 dem hands doe 🥲

[@diercire]

Using the rope on the transition like you did was exactly what I was thinking when he said it'd make the transition harder using the bars. Nice call.

[@SmoKeYJoE024]

Come do a Spartan Race with me Austin. We'll get ya ready for some OCR. AROO AROO AROO! Edit: Check WoD Preps videos on callous maintenance. If not, buy a cheap pumice stone. Learned callous maintenance from CrossFit. Hope you heal quickly.

[@pankekiis6138]

Oh my gosh! I love Michael I’ve been following him on Instagram for like 5 years. He does calisthenics so I figured he would kill this course

[@Fatherofheroesandheroines]

I did this course wayyyy back in 2001. It was far harder back then, because you had an instructor screaming in your ear and doing pushups after every obstacle! I think they cut that part out, because the failure rate was HUGE back then. By the time I graduated, I HATED the words Air Assault lol.

[@JustThePR]

Nah, I did it in 2013 and after every obstacle you were getting the piss smoked out of you.

[@sueperez21]

Austen: "Let me try this again. I hit it too hard!!" 🤣 love it. Y'all make me want to get in shape and work out like you do. Since the Marines wont take me😪 I too old 😋

Good job on the bars. It’s way harder than it looks expecially if youre over 200. The key is to keep the momentum going forward. If you stop it’s way harder on the grip.

I know this is the rakkasan playground but do the real air assault obstacle course after your 2 mile run and 30 min smokes session in the rock pit.

[@elvirahayden7606]

Was a great one

[@emiliogarcia1169]

You an OG

[@alexa.9871]

Thats right by my barracks, thats not the air assault course. Its referred to as RAK playground and theres some trails over there. The actual course is down by the air assault course. However, this course is tough as hell, we did it for platoon PT one day. ⛩

But someday I will go 🙏🔥💪

I saw that however like over fifty years ago as far as that pic next to that.and my god too.now that was bad,and how did that happen.well something did circle around,and was there a weapon in it.that undetermined as another was going to check and that he'd figure it out so i don't know,but i am in awe of that.and that mark is absolutely a signature mark as well.and the attributed must have been found to grieve the circumstances.that I'm good with too.however what should be done yes you can talk with a med personal,and on the spot condition good attri it's in solving resolutions for the attributed.and I'm sorry to for the pain another felt through that.i also don't like to be attributed against.and irregularity does have a nasty role to other preturbed onsets yes,and that however things do come round when your engaged in conscience then it's worse so ya just never know but it is how i see things.

[@Medium_Solo]

he reminds me of the dude from wolfenstein

[@catinabox3048]

That last obstacle, you called Michael's choice the harder one. I would very much disagree! Sure, his had a slope, but the middle beam, the one you chose, is the harder one because it's thicker and therefore requires much more grip strength and technique to hold onto. The middle one seems like it would feel like a sloper in rock climbing. I did rock climbing for a few years and slopers have always been an impossible endeavor for me.
