As a former Marine, I can honestly say that it's not so much about pushing your body but more about pushing your mind to IGNORE your body. We learned that your body can endure far more pain than the average mind can comprehend, thus making endurance of the mind more important than endurance of the body. Mind over matter, because if you don't mind, it don't matter!

[@Exknight2]

Well for example the ammo box lifts were technique based and obviously they couldn't figure it out at their 1st try, the rest of the things were more endurance based and magnus for example a good all rounder since he is challenging a lot of different aspects of his fitness to a high level he performed very well at everything but the idea of pushing your known limits is a way to improve further ahead (since our bodies are amazing) even through you think you gonna pass out, out of breath and your body is screaming, it's just that you never went that far.

[@climbsnowboardtravelrepeat]

Magnus is not just an "influencer" but an established world class athlete, comes through in stuff like this.

[@hardknocklife5164]

Marines train for hours with literally no breaks, no hand holding, in not only physical, but mentally breaking work. “World class” athletes do work hard too, and also for hours every day. But they have the added benefit of having hired nutritionists, trainers, coaches, they have a lot of help with recovery time, as they generally have access to electric muscle stimulation, saunas, ice baths, etc. Essentially, marines don’t really have any of those resources, just sheer force of will. Which if you ask me, is a lot more impressive than just being able to afford the best training and diet cause of your parents or sponsors money.

[@climbsnowboardtravelrepeat]

@@hardknocklife5164 Well Magnus did earn his position through crazy hard work, and if you compared him to the rest in more climbing or gymnastic type of exercise, he would crush them. Now he has sponsors, but he was just as fit before. That isn't meant to to be an insult to anyone else - Magnus spent a huge chunk of his life just training his body physically. No learning about other stuff, ha, including what Marines learn about. He just was willing to be a poor climber and his home country supports national athletes.

I've come to realize that the exercises that the military personnel do make them more adaptable to fatigue. It's like they train to work through fatigue which means that the goal of their day-to-day exercises is focused more on endurance.

[@Peatingtune]

It's essential to do their jobs. When things need to be done *now* to prevent catastrophe, commanders will not and do not accept fatigue as an excuse for failure. The enemy also grants no leniency to a tired opponent. To show weakness invites defeat. Marines must be as close to indefatigable as is humanly possible. Even when their bodies say no, their minds must be prepared to say "STFU and do it."

Finally someone who actually appreciates Jupiter’s hard work. The average men and women can’t even compete with her since we’re to busy on our phones or video games to even train. Most guys on here are saying that she did the worst and that she’s useless on the team. If she was better than the most guys would say she’s not even a girl cause she did better than a guy but if she’s worse than them they say she’s weak for not being able to compete with a man even tho men are meant to be stronger than women.

The mental fatigue combined with physical fatigue is what breaks many. I saw this when I went to Marine BootCamp in 1990. I was in great running shape being a high school soccer player but the mental fatigue started in my 3rd week because, in 13 weeks of boot camp, there are no days off. The lack of sleep, recovery, and constant physical workouts is how they break you mentally. It didn't get easier after boot camp because the School of Infantry broke me because we're always running with packs on and then the pinnacle was being assigned to my infantry unit where mind and body became calloused through even harder demands like being cold and wet for days while out in the field for weeks. By the time I got into the combat theater; the day to day physical grind, heat and lack of sleep just become a normal day (it wasn't easy but I knew I could push through). I learned to understand the meaning that a Marine will die before giving up. Many stories of Marines being severely wounded in combat but they still got up and pushed passed the physical and mental discomfort to continue the fight. Glad to see these kinds of videos. You all did great! Semper Fi!

Military constantly trains, poser influencers train when they feel like it and only as often as they feel like. 90% of my family is military in every branch, more specifically the harder branches and most of the women in my family who enlist choose the airforce for obvious reasons. These influencers don't know shit, have no respect for the military, and train to be useless. They would shit their pants if they were told they had to die for their country.

[@jmanil]

@@ruukibane301 I think they did a good job showing everyone how difficult a single training course can be. The video will inspire young people to take on the challenge to be in the military because many Americans are becoming soft, passive and out of shape. Only about 1% of Americans are ready to stand up and serve. I once asked a Marine fighter pilot what inspired him. He said he still remembered the day clearly when his parents took him to an airshow at 8 yrs old. He remembered standing in line just to experience sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet. He said he could almost feel what it would be like to fly. This video may be that moment for many to join the Marine Corps or another military service.

I've served in the german military and I can tell you it's definitely not a fair competition. The influencers had no chance, as the test they did is something the Marines do often. That builds exactly the muscles needed for that test, technique and confidence. It is immensely impressive how well the influencers did despite that disadvantage. They got some great fitness and Magnus showed time and time again that he can compete with the best in almost anything. His willpower is unparalleled.

[@fseffefsfefe7996]

Yet, the military guys wore combat boots and BDUs. Plus, if you see the SAS episodes from Australia/UK or the even the European versions of Military shows etc. The fitness influencers are often out earlier than the people that barely did any sports or only football etc. They train to look good, not to actually win anything. And I'm saying that as I served in the Dutch military.

What do you mean not fair. You're acting like these marine's job is to work out. These marines keep in top physical shape while performing their duties and also they had their combat boots and BDUs on. These influencer's jobs are to post pictures and videos of them working out. These workouts didn't target any specific muscle groups, they targeted a broad range of muscle groups which are practical. This fitness test isn't just for shits and giggles, it's to test if these individuals are still in the physical condition required to remain a United States Marine.

My experience in the Marines was essentially training to endure things. Most of the CFT is designed around that in mind. Can you weather the storm. Fitness influencers don’t train with that in mind.

[@themiddleclasstaxslave651]

I’ve taken a lot of Fitness tests in my day, and have excelled at them. Some of these movements, yes the more you do them the better results. What I really saw was a lack of heart. The run … 880 yards? Or meters? That’s shouldn’t be difficult mentally, but it ate at the influencers. They shouldn’t be influencing workouts. Maybe I’m off base and their not workout influencers, but that was some sad crap. Harsh, but it’s true. I also saw no heart on the second event. When you hit 50 reps, its mind over mattter until you have complete muscle failure. The mental weakness shown was a bit shocking. I’ll give it to them on the last event, but I saw some quit moments in them for sure. Not tying to be a dick, but they needed to step up more imo. I’ve never done the marine fitness test, but on every test I have, you should be able to maxing out the required push-ups, pulls up, sit-ups, and be under in the run, swim etc. less internet time more cardio & strength training!

[@XghostXfaceX2]

@@themiddleclasstaxslave651 Well I have done the CFT and fitness test for school. The marine corps also does the PFT a lot too. The point of both again is to endure and weather the storm. To keep pushing even when you have nothing left. When that’s the focus of your training it helps anyone grow the heart necessary to become more. As you said the influencers just didn’t have the heart for it.

[@themiddleclasstaxslave651]

Will just say, I hope they learned from this experience to see how far they gotta go. They should easily be able to get there, if their motivated.

Excellent video. As a vet myself (from 20+ years ago), I can tell you that the military trains for endurance, not raw strength. While raw strength definitely has its place and usefulness, outright endurance to outlast the enemy on all fronts is what wins battles and wars in the long run. Still, you guys did great and it was nice to see the collaboration with the Leathernecks.

[@RoTeNdO]

@@tiarnan76 brother... you're asking the wrong person. You need to speak with your physician or a Kinesiologist. The human body has its limitations and when you factor in genetics, that adds another element to the equation. Muscle growth and size has absolutely NOTHING to do with the branch of service you're in (or not in) My best explanation, given my knowledge of how to build and develop muscles, is that your large calf size is a product of a lot of walking, especially steep hills (or stairs), climbing, running (especially if you play soccer), and/or genetics. I've seen a guy who was never in the military, never played sports, and had the hugest traps I've ever seen! He's French-Canadian and met him through an IT conference in the states. In contrast, the fastest Marine I've met never ran track in hs or played football and has never trained, yet faster than those that have (civilians pros and pro athletes). Riddle me that.
