The first influencer even started further back from the first obstacle than the marine yet still caught up! Very impressive!! And I don't think she had as much experience with these sort of obstacles either!! Well done her

[@marcusa.7848]

I think she trained for that part of the obstacle back home & thats why she aced it. Next time make it higher & deeper but instead of going down. Make them go down underneath one time & back up 2 times then run up the wall. Thats the test

[@Columba82]

Marines should have all 4 of them

[@bekhele]

retired Royal Dutch marine here, Biggest difference between military and sports athletes (or influencers)are, the latter are calibrated to perform for optimal conditions, have the perfect food diet,following regular training schedule,perfect sleep, and perform in the best optimal conditions you can possible get. as they work towards a specific moment where they want to deliver a peak performance (game contest olympic game,etc) athletes will generally probably outperform military under those conditions. But the military is exactly the opposite. You are calibrated to have a physical grind and endurance exactly when circumstances are not optimal,sleep deprived or had all the preparations and time in the world under controlled and predictable conditions. Under these circumstances, Military trained service men will shine out

[@sabertoothedcapybara]

Im a 19 year old woman and I’d say it’s about consistency. It takes months of just doing a little at a time, and you push yourself by doing just a BIIIIT more every once in a while. You start with 1 and hold a plank, then you can do 2, then 3, and soon enough you’ll increase by bigger intervals, like oh I can do 10 so I must be able to do 15! You’re capable of so much!

[@ellasmommy9278]

The influencers did surprisingly well. Especially in the first part. But I got to hand it to them, ALL of these women had tremendous upper body strength.

[@JuliaJuanaAlvarez]

Yeah but they are also lucky that many of these tests were made purely for speed. Would the obstacle course for example be made more towards endurance instead of just like an 2 min event, than the marines would have absolutly crushed them

[@BoomerElite4u]

The thing the Military does really well and probably better than any other group of athlete is carrying heavy loads for long distances, and you actually saw this demonstrated here. The fitness influencers really struggled picking up the water jugs and carrying it for a long distance. I just genuinely don't believe this type of exercise is really replicated anywhere outside of the Military and it' s one of the main reasons a lot of super fit people fail certain Military schools since most of these schools involve some type of long-distance road march. It's really hard to prepare yourself for something like this in the gym.

[@anorvedana]

True. Idk why influencers skip doing carriers when it’s actually one of the best exercise you can do at the gym. Gives you a lot of resistance and core strength.

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

I’m very surprised everyone was expecting the marines to win. Does no one have military friends, or remember what it was like for them in the military? An amateur who focuses on fitness will always best a military member in any athletic endeavor. The military workout regime is designed to build you up mentally as much as physically, which is to say it’s not optimized for physical development. An amateur who focuses on athletics on the other hand will focus solely on physical development, and these girls are professionals so they’ll be a cut above an amateur. Not to mention, military members don’t follow an individualized plan; they use one size fits all. To me this seems more like putting a marine who boxes in the marines against a professional boxer. The pro will win every time.

[@dakaodo]

@@sharpe8888 Yeah, on the obstacle course, I realized the influencers were accustomed to these common activities in their competitions and routines. Little tips like leaning/jumping forward to gain a bit of extra distance. But it makes sense that they'd do well b/c sport specificity is a big factor in training. And that includes doing obstacle courses for time in competitions, versus doing obstacle courses for a passing grade (where 1-2 seconds don't matter as much, except perhaps to qualify for different brackets of qualification).

No. Marines live in their boots. You ever tried going all out at anything in new shoes? Asking for injury.

Military boots aren’t as heavy as you’re thinking and they’re also better in the dirt so if anything they were better to wear.

The Marines are used to doing things strictly...they gotta use their lower bodies more on the push press. A little tweak on form there, they both have the power to crush that even more. I'm super impressed with all the competitors! 👏👏👏

[@BarnabyCobbledick]

except for those pushups their form wasn't as good as the influencers

[@michaelborror4399]

I'm trying to gain weight like always with push up bars on one day, and 18 lbs. warm up dumbells, with a 35 lbs. kettlebell on another, horse stance and squats, I'll definitely have to get a roman chair and maybe some chin up bars as more of a cave lionen snake type one of these days, must be gaining at least a little weight with all the protein powder and bananas anyway though. Sumos eat chonkonabe to gain weight with a dashi or chicken base, while some ramen noodles with a couple eggs, salami, and tabasco can't be as bad as my mom thinks, as there's usually always room for more noodles anyway?

I like how encouraging the women are to each other. As well as how Austen wasn't.. condescending in *anything* he said or the tone in which he said it. "Pulls are a difficult exercise, they take practice." While a LOT of people I've heard have used not being able to do a pullup as an insult. It is difficult, and watching this was nice.. wasn't toxic and just a nice competition each are beyond strong in their own right. They're just in different lives and professions!

[@AustenAlexander]

Austin, as a woman on her fitness journey, this was very inspiring to watch. Please get more strong women on your show, it's very motivating!

[@moonlitegram]

Is there a reason why you (and many other women, you're not the only one) seem to need to specifically see women to feel motivated? I'm a guy and watching these ladies push themselves to their limits motivates me just as much as watching guys push themselves. Fitness is about pushing yourself past your previous limits, not about pushing past other people's limits. So you should be able to feel motivated watching guys as well. You don't have to match their level of performance in order to match their level of intensity :)

[@Prithvikalra660]

@@moonlitegram As a girl I feel the same as you too. I feel motivated by anyone doing their best in fitness. But I think the reason why many women feel motivated by other women especially is because in the past women weren't allowed to these things, and now when the gender norm are being broke, it motivates them even more

[@kayv5840]

@@moonlitegramm inspired by both men and women in fitness. However, I don’t see it as often in women (in my experience many women where I live are not in shape and don’t care, or get surgeries to avoid having to actually go to the gym) so that could play a part. I see that more in men in everyday life. I like seeing the hard work from anyone. It’s also nice to see a reflection of how my body may look once I reach my fitness goals.

[@moonlitegram]

@@kayv5840 Yea, I can see that. Fair point.

[@majesticgh0st]

​@@moonlitegrampersonally, I'm in awe by both sexes but physiologically, the male sex have an easier time gaining muscle due to their hormones. Female sex tend to find it more difficult to gain muscle and lose bodyfat just because of their biology (more oestrogen). I'm more inspired by women because I see my body type in them, as opposed to men. However, as I said, I'm very impressed by both and men can inspire me - just not in the way I see myself in these women. Both are motivating to see!

[@phillynurse9492]

Actually, as a lady who works out, they did ok in my book. Those pushups were embarrassing. The pullups were on point. I don't get why they got to lay down and rest...it resets the count when the do that. But then again I'm a rock climber so...

[@NathanieI87]

What is kind of neglected here is the fact that the Marines are performing everything on the obstacle course in their BDUs and not in their PT gear unlike their influencer counterparts. This gives them a slight advantage over the Marines.

[@Amtcboy]

True. But Marines had a few seconds head start, for both.

[@ClaireEmilia]

But Marines literally do this kind of obstacle courses as their jobs! Influencers don’t

[@joshuaussery6450]

I would also say, THESE ARE MARINES. The best of the best face obstacles much more challenging than this. If books make that much difference, then maybe the influencers should be marines lol

There’s a lot of hate on the push ups but as someone who is in the army currently, their form was good up until they got tired and I can tell you that it happens to everyone. Nice job to both sets of ladies and I love the motivation.

[@jcdg0509]

That’s irrelevant to why people are upset, everyone breaks form when tired, what’s upsetting was that they still counted the reps

[@jrgarcia4679]

Let me hear it Mr. Expert!

[@amaragrace94]

The marines had their arms at 90 degrees which is MUCH easier and not really proper form. The correct form is actually 45 degrees which engages your chest and triceps more. The influencers were doing harder pushups.

[@StrawberryPropertyManagement]

I would say none of the marine pushups count because they were not going all the way plus letting their bodies sag the whole time. They were not good pushups At All. Influencers had much better form on that. Should’ve had a tie breaker since the marines cheated on the pushups. LOL
