Olympic Runner Attempts US MARINE FITNESS TESTS

The United Stater Marines are TOUGH! It was an honor to visit Camp Pendleton and train with them for a day. In this video we attempted the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and the Combat Fitness Test (CTF). Normally these are done six months apart, we did them BACK TO BACK!

Which did you find more impressive: the all out 3 mile or the 800m in boots? Also how impressive is Corporal Kubinski?? He's a true competitor and a very impressive athlete. He's on Instagram! instagram.com/zjonti.k

[@daveconvoy5793]

Great work as ever Nick. Great to see you shine in the running-that 800 in boots was really something!

[@DatIndigoKid]

The 800m in boots was pretty impressive!

[@melancholylove]

As someone who has done both many times, the 800m in boots is the worst.

Wow...I'm exhausted just watching that. Kubinsky is exceptionally impressive. Just when I thought progressing from 1 pull-up to 2 pull-ups was a huge achievement, I realize I would not have been able to do any of what these great marines and one bison just did. This may be my favorite Bison video.

[@SuperMontsta]

I could barely knock out 5 when I joined the Marines. I was at the bare minimum. 20 by end of boot camp. Not only does it help to do pull ups all the time, but to get overall lean. Extra bodyfat makes it harder of course. If you can only do 2, do that. Then drop down, shake your arms out, give it a break, do 2 more. Repeat until you do 20 a day. Take every other day off. Do cardio to get lean. You'll get there!

[@jshonio6443]

On January 1st, 2020, I could do zero pullups. Now I can do 100 in 20 minutes or less. Keep going. Small progress accumulates into huge progress when given enough time.

[@johannes01]

[@rayres1074]

​@jumbo The whole purpose of a general fitness test is exactly to test in a standardized situation how well you fare compared to others. If you cheat, you're essentially skewing the standard. Not the same thing as "cheating" on practical fitness (which would be less 'cheating' and more about being functional as you sad). If you do 50 sloppy as fuck pull ups, your score should not be better than someone who did 30 good form ones

[@rayres1074]

@jumbo Everyone isn't. Besides, if you don't follow the standard, it obviously skews the results - just like if you saying something with 0.998 kg has exactly 1 kilo. It's not standard. Simply put.

[@stuflikethis]

Their numbers were better but the bisons form was better for pretty much everything. Many of their chins didn’t clear the bar for chin ups. Lots of their butts were in the air for planks Kubinskis box didn’t lower below his chin and he also leaned back

[@Exachad]

The planks/crunches challenge seems a bit easy compared to the pullups and run in the PFT. 21 pullups and 18 min 3-mile are both things you need to train to be able to get, but a lot of people can max the plank/crunches without much or even any training. That beast Madrigal did it in half the time. I haven't tried the CFT events, so I don't know if there are any unbalanced events there too. Kubinsky is a beast. You gotta train them planks & crunches and get a rematch, Bison.

[@melancholylove]

Crunches are definitely the "easiest" of it all, especially for certain body types. If you look at the Marine who did over 100 in a min he's barely moving. The CFT isn't bad overall, but I think my shin splints came back just watching the 800 in boots.

[@NotAWomble]

That’s a blazing fast time for the Marine Corps Kyle, since we don’t specialize in just running, but as I’ve seen most marines don’t see any virtue in cardio in general.

More hype, more fun - thanks.

3:30 lol those weren't crunches 😂😂

[@oliverashford1796]

great video mate!

[@adamzurn2648]

Ah that was such a fun day! You killed it though! It would be fun to see a mix of events along with some powerlifting and long endurance like a ruck hike.

Starting at 11:44. Kubinsky is doing the ammo can push-press incorrectly. Hips drive out and not up, not locking the ammo can out above the head and pushing his head through his arms at the end. The ammo can push-press/CrossFit push-press main muscle groups are the shoulders, triceps, glutes, quadriceps, and core. His motion with the ammo can is going away from his body and more of the ammo can "chest press". Which will allow him to gain faster reps and not burn out as quickly, because he is using more of his chest than shoulders. This would be considered a no rep because I can imagine the average of people can bench press more than they can push-press. Similar to how you could probably back squat more than you could Overhead squat. Unless you specifically try to train those areas of strength. I would think people with experience in CrossFit would call this a no rep. That's where my attention is drawn, because of the time I had in CrossFit. As those more familiar with running techniques would be better far off than me to critique and teach proper form because I hate running. lol. Years of basketball, it's done enough for my body.

Love your videos bro Some of the most inspirational running content on KZbin really helps an amateur middle distance runner like me out

You did great a lot of hard work especially in that run in boots and amo lift

Great job out there. Can't say I've ever heard anyone refer to themselves in the third person nickname though.

Nick, you're a badass

Didn't have planks when I was in. Only had crunches. We trained for it all the time though, it was the easiest event to get 100 in. I could always get 300, but the pull ups were always close and hard to get, best 3 miler was 16.10

[@elliejoy89]

What did you do to train to be so fast for the 3 mile?

[@SuperMontsta]

@@elliejoy89 5-10 mile runs, 3 days a week. That's was our usual PT in the Marines. Being used to running even longer made the 3 mile run seem easy. I also played basketball for fun, would do that for hours. I'm 6'4", so have long legs. The key was learning to keep big strides the whole run. Before the Marines, I only did basketball and track in school (400m, 800m). I was NOT used to long runs. Early on, I found myself chopping my stride, taking smell steps while running due to fatigue. The constant longer runs helped improve that. Once you're used to 5 miles, 3 miles doesn't seem too bad. 🙂
