The Royal Marines have brought out a new pre joing fitness test. This has been brought on because of Covid 19. The Royal Marines pride themselves on being an elite fighting force and as an ex Royal Marines Commando, I make sure that I always stay in shape. Especially if I'm sat here gobbing off on youtube. Give this Circuit a go, it gets quite tasty and I found the timings quite hard to stick to with the burpees. To all aspiring Royal Marines Commandos Train hard and smart.

[@maximisatwat]

Clearly this guy not a marine. If you look, you see his arse clearly above his actual HEAD on most reps. Feet don't even hint at knowing they meant to be together. He would be beasted for this. No way he has passed out. Also his upper back has 'geek spine' - shoulder blades not retracted. Zero possibility this would be possible. The guy is fake. Also why doesn't he war the beret if he is 'Royal Marine' as title of video says, or 'Total Commando channel name implies. The guy's a fraud who bought some green T-shirts and army trousers from a surplus store, gets off on faking the style of talking and making videos and does a lot of gym. His technique would get him battered in basic ,

Hi mate thank you. I've done a lot of CrossFit and Olympic lifting with a bit of powerlifting too. But to complete this circuit solely bodyweight work needed. We have a programme that we released last week to help you get through these tests mate. We have 15 lads on it seeing good results if it's something you're interested in mate. 👍

[@rebeccastevens7512]

Blimey a month PRC test at CTC. When I did mine in 1981 it was 3 days I think. The month may really weed out those they don't want, and also good for those that will not want to stay in as I understand it is part of the training program now. Good on all those who want to join up. Most of us would join up again if we could. I loved my time at Lympstone.

Yer no worries mate really good way to build up your endurance gradually. Good tactic for bleep test too. When you get to the max of a bleep test then drop down to running on every other bleep.

[@coletrain5778]

@Sam Logan Fitness Completely agree with you on the planks, I’m due to do this soon and I have found that the PTs did a great job with the structure of the session. Having Planks straight after the press ups kills it because you’re already in a plank stance doing the press ups. Great effort too mate good video!

Every day and youll gain more strength but a bit less muscle. Every other day and youll gain a bit more muscle with a bit less strength.

Ok so not really a answerable question but, my running is weak as. Ankles hurt for the first 2km, after that I go numb. Maybe it’s meant to “hurt” and I should just “get on with it” not sure? But if I can do the vpjft well. Would it still be wise to apply since I’m going to get a month I’m training where they can help/guide me and getting better with the running maybe? Sorry this is a long winded question but thought I’d ask anyway

Many small amounts freuently is better than 1 big amount rarely. Do what you can that is comfortable and easy first then look at raising the volume and gradually extending. Aim to feel 'pro' and 'boss' at every one you do so choose amounts that let you do that first rather than relying on pure 'discipline'. You want it to 'feel good' and completely own whatever exercise it is, then gradually extend it. Solid 1hour runs at 'easy' pace set a foundation Then 1m fast pace and e.g. 3 min or 2 min slow pace can get you more and more used to high pace at high quality. Hopefully at some point you will naturally simply want to extend because your body starts liking it. You might find it hard to even pass if you cant do the running time they want - and 24min 4.8km is are pretty hard pace for most people. Your life will be 1000x easier if you already have a solid base of running to start from.
