I worked with a guy who's brother is a Royal Marines commando.

They're like damn machines.
The older I get the more I realize that the hybrid athlete build is optimal for health, life, longevity, and gives you the abilities to look good and perform pretty well in just about any sport.
@@dissmrTake it even further than mma fighters, become a contortionist almost and be super flexible strong run marathons if you needed to. Hike 50 miles a day.
@@dissmr The UFC is a weight class sport. There's a reason why the highest weight classes in almost every weight class divided sport are jacked as fuck and carrying around 30%+ bodyfat. It's because this speedcope theory that bruce lee fanboys like to preach is not how real life works. Also on the subject, you can be as big and lean as a natural bodybuilder as you want and still be a great hybrid athlete, it's just most bodybuilders don't do a ton of conditioning, but there's nothing about big muscles that prevents people from becoming very fit and conditioned, you could argue that a bodybuilder would be unable to become regional to national to world class at medium to long distance running but they can still become elite, and if running ever evolves to have weight classes at standard then obviously jacked bodybuilder body types could potentially have a world class presence. It just doesn't slow you down as much as people think it does, unless the bodybuilder is very unnatural and is 280lb stage ready, people like that don't need any help having a heart attack.

I am a 20 year veteran of the Marine Corps and at 63 I can do all of that except the swim. I don't think I could have ever done the swim. We would do pull-ups, situps then run 3 miles. Great video guys... Semper Fi.
I'm not a Navy SEAL, but I did have to pass the Navy's PRT standard test for 20+ years. During this time I have seen many people "cheat" with regard to form. I recall a Navy LT say he completed 80+ push-ups, but in reality he completed about a dozen within good form, however after those, the only part of his upper body that was moving was his head/neck, but he continued to count. The sit-ups, the same goes there, many people throwing their arms forward to get up, the butt coming off the ground to get momentum to assist or not have their shoulder blades touch the ground. However, the great equalizer is the run, as there is no way to cheat the clock. I recall once taking the PRT run in Hyde Park London with a active duty SEAL on staff. Once the word "GO" was given, this guy took off like a cheetah and I did not see him again until I completed my 1.5mi run about +10 minutes later, at which time he was probably sitting around for about three plus minutes waiting for the entire group to finish. So overall good effort from both of you, especially considering your ages.
An almost perfect (20 min run) marine pft 45 years ago. 2 sprint triathalons 10 years ago. Now, an ALS guy. Im lucky to walk to the front of the house. Yeah, Chad, people who have the opportunity to challenge themselves are lucky. Live life, my friend. Live it hard.

What a great video. Loved the inspirational talk. I didn't think Bartley was gonna hold his own after that swim, because swimming can totally drain you. Swimming for an ex-seal is a walk in the park given the swims they had to do in training. You could even see how much more energy Bartley had to exert while swimming. Still he came back and put up some really impressive numbers especially for a guy that size. Totally agree with the idea that if you are going to be that big that you should still be functional so you can do stuff with it. Also, Chadd is an inspiration in keeping up that level of fitness even though he is out of the service. Thanks for the inspiration guys. Really needed that.
When you guys had the "we get to do this /some people cant do what we are doing here" it really hit me inside because i have not been able to train for 6+ months right now and it has me sooooo depressed idk what to do with myself i hope i can be back to fitness being a part of my career /daily life again soon ive lost all my results cant even recognize myself at the moment .

Romans 3 KJV ✝️🩸 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Ephesians 1 KJV 🩸 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 1 John 5 KJV 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
I was in the IDF 1997-2000 After that I was a member of a reserve Paratrooper unit. You can stay strong... I did keep my self in good shape. I don't run as fast... But I do almost the same amount of pullups and push ups!
As a 6'4 person, with long arms & legs, I find it CRAZY how much difference there is in "range of motion" on lifts. On a push-up, if I drop my chest to a fist, and then lock-out my arms, my range of motion is nearly 3 feet. Compare 3 feet to the body-builders range of motion, he's probably only going HALF THE DISTANCE.
6'3 here, with a +5 ape index, I feel you man. It took me forever to get to 315 max doing a full range rep. (Which if you don't have a spotter is your only real option.)
6'8" here. Definitely true. I've been lifting for three years with real programming and gains just come slow with the super long range of motion. After the initial gains from getting form in check etc., it's a battle for every new PR.
Phelps can do 34 pull ups lol and judging by the fact that Phelps had a routine of 3 sets of 30 push ups and posted a cool 25 minute 5k time without ever running, I'm fairly confident he would do just fine on this test @@GamersHereAgain12
@@GamersHereAgain12 LMAO you're insane Phelps isn't only the all time best olympic athletes ever with 23 medals but also he doesn't produce lactic acid in his body and would eat this shit up in the upper tier. You gotta be kidding me bro.... SEALs are top 1% athletes is literally his the best athlete in the world. Dude could eat 12 000 calories and looked rip. I'm NOT kidding. Yes it's scary af. Plus you clearly never saw his workout routine. WTF
Way to go gents! I’m impressed and inspired to continue pushing myself at 56. Part if my workout routine is doing pull-ups and chin ups from my I-beam in the basement. It’s a struggle to get in 15 of each. I can barely grab beam standing on my tippy toes. I wish I had a body of water nearby to swim.
I do 2000 meters 3-4 times/week. 500 meters is easy. I am older than you. Swimming is great! I have a friend who is 85 and going strong because he swims!
I can't hardly go 100 yards. I have always SUCKED . I told my friends when I was on a cruise ship if I go over, just keep going cause NO way I'll make it. Sad but true.
@@joelpierce3940I know people who are 85 and going strong and don't swim. The problem with swimming is that you can only ramp up the intensity so much. Same applies to running and walking. You can't manage to continuously and progressively overload your muscles. You run into some kind of limit faster than you would with resistance training. I'm not suggesting swimming is bad. I'm suggesting that without resistance training you're not getting the benefits that you think you're getting, especially for your bones. Sorry, but for all over health there is no substitute to resistance training.
Very inspirational Iam 50 with a 32 year career in CDN SF and still going hard as well. Back in the day I used to get a lot of flack for carrying around the muscle mass but if you train correctly that muscle doesn’t slow you down. Nice work Chad and Bartley.
Swimmer here, that's incorrect actually. Yes fat floats but its more about technique than muscle to fat ratios in swimming. Also not putting your head underwater while swimming makes your legs sink which is why all kids that learn to swim are instructed to put their head in the water. Your head position is super important. Still don't believe me? Watch Eddie Hall swim at 300+ lbs he used to be a swimmer before he starting getting big into lifting.
@@HSmasteryodaYou just used one of the strongest men to ever live and a genetic anomaly as an example. His muscles are literally leaner (very little intramuscular fat), thereby denser than even top strength athletes. I’d say the force he can generate kind of offsets that and he’s an extreme outlier. He was born to accel in basically any sport. Watch the video where they do an ultrasound on his muscle. I’m not disagreeing with you here but a better example would be a regular muscular guy not The Beast. I would say body proportions are the most important factor to having good technique. Having a long and wide torso in proportion to legs is going to give you a big swimming advantage.
That was a really cool video! Thank you for this epic “competition” “Do it cuz you can when others can’t”…. Perfect message. Been recovering from a car accident and every single day I work towards getting back to my former gymnastic self (3 decades later😂) It’s a lot of work, grind, & pain:::but WORTH IT! (I can do tiny push-ups standing on my head now!) Super inspiring 🤩👊
HEY CHAD THANK YOU FOR MY FREEDOMS MY AMERICAN BROTHER 🗽🇺🇲❤ AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR SACERFICE MAY GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GODBLESS YOU MY BROTHER'S 🗽🇺🇲
Killer video, guys. My older brother is a body builder. This makes me want to pair up with him and do something similar here at home. Thanks for the inspiration, especially coming from fellow brothers in Christ!
Man, after like 35, I felt like it took me days to recover from a PT Test. Give yourself a week and you’ll feel awesome again! When you integrate that swim in, it decimates all those other numbers! I think yall did great man!
My dad was about your size in the 80s 90s. He can still put up like 350 on bench and he's 63. I tried teaching him to swim but he sinks like a rock. He was all glamor muscles, Zero cardio, and roids were a big thing back then. He has to wear an external pacemaker. Keep doing that cardio! Function over form is key! I would work on flexibility as well,.
Love these guys. Both an inspiration. I am a nurse and the comment about training for those who cant rings true to me. I will add that mindset to my workouts
Glad u called no reps. So many guys let that stuff go. No one cares either how many you do. You’re beating most 90% of people out there anyway. Great channel.
I enjoyed this video. When you said "man do this for those that cant" was a gut punch for me. This has motivated me to push harder. As a DAV there are many things I can no longer do but I've got it better than a lot. Im going to swim, and walk for those that can't. Ho F**k'n Rah! And that Land Cruiser!!!
I have been working outb3 days a week for almost 2 years. 53 years old and could not even come close to what your guys did. My hat is off to you. Nice work. You are an inspiration. Just got to go harder to maintain it.
Great video. The BUDS Preparation Fitness test is definitely one of the toughest in the military, just to gain orders into BUDS. Then you're required to do the test in BUDS Indoc. The swim at the very beginning zaps your strength, especially if your swim technique is substandard. The SEAL in this video was super chill and so humble. Much respect to the body builder for doing this and especially for finishing this and not giving up. I've seen a lot of folks get gassed and quit after the swim or during the calisthenics phase. I wonder if the BUDS fit test still requires candidates to still do the 1.5 mile run in camo pants and boots though?
I remember my pst’s. Your knee hits the deck and your done son. It’s awesome to see this. Great video brother. I remember Senior Chief Cutler too. He wouldn’t count your pull ups if your legs weren’t straight either. I remember him showing up to one of our PST’s with vodka soaked grapes. That was a salt of the earth mofo. Loads of respect for that man.
@@rockymountainrocket9727 Being fit and a professional fighter are two different things….anybody who thought the seal (or damn near any seal) would be able to fight a reigning UFC champ is fucking dumb
I failed the swim first time around.. recruiter didn't tell me anything about a sidestroke.. pulled aside for a quick class and passed it the next time
Not sure how many push-ups for the body builder guy because I didn't see a lot of locking out at the top. Oh well, still not a bad showing but the Navy Seal kept it real!
Its better to train for real world situations im 36 210 i build as much as my balls will let me get and i swim mostly breath holding deep end with the brick
You are so right about remembering to be grateful that you are able to train. I have a close friend who wants to exercise, but she is fortunate to even be able to walk some days, with pain. She has tried to do wall pushups with a slight angle, but she hurt the tendon at the elbow. Most exercises are out. Her joints and tendons are a mess from chemo and radiation.
Those of us that might struggle or are not capable to do this, are watching you fine gentlemen, thank you. I have stage 2 COPD but I might just give this a go.
@@10MM-MAGAMAN-420 Exactly. Typically full of creatine induced water retention and for pictures get a big pump on using vasodilators. He is definitely in great shape. Youth has a way of doing that though.
I watched you while having breakfast, even so, it was like i was doing each exercise too in my mind lol! When I was young swimming was my life, along with skating & biking. I loved being in the water, maybe that's why I'm Aquarius LOL. I love to walk fast I can do 5 MI. I cannot do pull-ups but I only tried to a couple of times. 100 female push-ups but only a few male push-ups. I can do 35 sit-ups. I'm so glad there's many people still taking care of themselves. Way to go you two & so impressed with your sit-ups!! Take care, God bless & be safe!
Regular Navy I usually did pushups and sit ups in the 60’s and the mile and a half in 10:55-12. I switched to the swim instead of the run and did that in about 9:00. Since then I’m still as mean, but not as lean… getting back into it now and it’s tough. Being healthy doesn’t taste as good as junk food but it sure feels a lot better!
Yeah I don't think people who don't work out understand just HOW much easier those bunny reps are compared to full reps. I'm fairly out of shape these days, put I can do 40 full reps straight still. I could probably do 70-80 of those bunny reps. Those only use your chest, which is a munch larger muscle typically than your delts and tris. It's a good way to focus just your chest, and thus why a lot of body builders who focus muscle isolation to get in extra work each week with steroid use do reps that way (and generally only as a warm-up), but for the average person it's an awful way to do a rep.
you said to pause right now... I know you were talking about puttting numbers up, but I am pausing for my brothers that aren't here with me now. Thanks for this video, man.
That would be another way to judge fitness. And in that case the other guy would look pathetic. For some reason people think fitness means your ability to swim a great distance or jog. That's just one type of fitness.
You boys are in shape. Great shape. PHENOMENAL SHAPE! Especially at your ages. Very impressive. This comes from an older Marine who got a perfect score at USMC Bootcamp in 1986 (My #'s: 20 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups, 16:50 3-mile run). I did 53 pull-ups shooting for the regimental record which was 66, a few days earler, when I took a second to catch my breath my Senior drill instructor said to drop, so I had to right then). Anyway, this inspired me to get in shape. I just lost 48 lbs in 3 mos and completed a 4-day water fast 2 days ago. I'm 6'1 and I'm shooting for 190 lbs by Jan 30th (that should give me time to stabilize my weight and be a real 190 lbs). I really liked seeing this video. I'm 57 and have some old injuries, (need a knee replacement and an ankle ligament that needs surgery). This video is going to be the fuel I need to get me through it. Thanks for your influence in my pursuit of getting healthier and improving my physical fitness. Again, GREAT JOB! God Bless!
There's *no way* dude was only 2 minutes behind in the swimming portion. He was basically dead after that first lap. (No judgment, he's far more fit than I'll ever be)
When I was in I always maxed out on sit ups but fell a few short of max on pushups, That's how I already know congestive heart failure will be my fate. Back in my Army days I'd do about 65 pushups (72 max for my age range), 65-68 sit ups (65 max for my age range) and ran a best 13:48 2 mile. Army didn't test for pull ups. I'm almost 43 now and couldn't even come close to any of those numbers.
I have been on backpack hunting trips with guys that look like they could carry everyone on their shoulders into the rocky mountains, but no way. Ill take the skinny guy full of tenacity all day long. Its all for show, and then you turn 60 and the roids catch up.
He was just gliding through the water, smooth. Big guy did well too for his size but was a lot thrashier and seemed to have to work harder at it. I would expect of all things though, a SEAL would do well in the water.

good job dropping 20 pounds Hooah!
They are all around you. Go find em.
I was in the IDF 1997-2000 After that I was a member of a reserve Paratrooper unit. You can stay strong... I did keep my self in good shape. I don't run as fast... But I do almost the same amount of pullups and push ups!
Hail me
Nice to see a competition like this were the competitors respect each other.
man,you guys would be awesome to hang with. awesome work and spirit. love from australia.
This was cool to watch. Great job guys and wonderful comradery.
Man , I just love that blue Land Cruiser!
Yep, just to rewind sand check that out!! Like my mind old one that she sadly
sold
Glad someone said it!
As a 6'4 person, with long arms & legs, I find it CRAZY how much difference there is in "range of motion" on lifts.
On a push-up, if I drop my chest to a fist, and then lock-out my arms, my range of motion is nearly 3 feet.
Compare 3 feet to the body-builders range of motion, he's probably only going HALF THE DISTANCE.
With 6'8 I can totally relate, especially when it comes to squats and pushups.
@mycommentpwnz probably because the bodybuilder didn't lock out his arms.
6'3 here, with a +5 ape index, I feel you man. It took me forever to get to 315 max doing a full range rep. (Which if you don't have a spotter is your only real option.)
6'8" here. Definitely true. I've been lifting for three years with real programming and gains just come slow with the super long range of motion. After the initial gains from getting form in check etc., it's a battle for every new PR.
6'4" with a plus 2 ape index - I feel it too! Same with benching - and I see these people with diddy arms moving the bar 2" for a rep - kills me!
Man seriously impressive for a big guy! Both have great cardio and strength 👍🏻
That guy is one of the most natural swimmers I've seen. Amazing form.. looks like you were born into the water
He was a SEAL
Yes...I try and try but I look like a drunk monkey swimming.....which means you get gassed quicker too.
You'd expect a seal to swim like a pro swimmer..
Bet Phelps can't do 70 pushups!!
Phelps can do 34 pull ups lol and judging by the fact that Phelps had a routine of 3 sets of 30 push ups and posted a cool 25 minute 5k time without ever running, I'm fairly confident he would do just fine on this test @@GamersHereAgain12
@@GamersHereAgain12 LMAO you're insane Phelps isn't only the all time best olympic athletes ever with 23 medals but also he doesn't produce lactic acid in his body and would eat this shit up in the upper tier. You gotta be kidding me bro.... SEALs are top 1% athletes is literally his the best athlete in the world. Dude could eat 12 000 calories and looked rip. I'm NOT kidding. Yes it's scary af. Plus you clearly never saw his workout routine. WTF
I counted exactly…0 push ups by the bodybuilder 🤨.
Not even the horse fly reps?? Lol
lol yeah he didn't fully extend any that I noticed.
PROBABLY MUSCLE MEMORY BECAUSE A HEALTHY BODYBUILDER WILL NEVER LOCK OUT HARMFULL
Same with situps, shoulders never touched, except when he rested
He did well but yeah , no lock out on the up and didn't touch the elbows to the knees
Way to go gents! I’m impressed and inspired to continue pushing myself at 56. Part if my workout routine is doing pull-ups and chin ups from my I-beam in the basement. It’s a struggle to get in 15 of each. I can barely grab beam standing on my tippy toes. I wish I had a body of water nearby to swim.
Get a pull-up bar, you could even make one using pipe and pipe hangers at Home Depot/Lowes.
His straw hat with the fan in it is cracking me up!
I'm 5 minutes in, and you got me wanting to do this tomorrow after church!
Appreciate how he is also supporting 1stphorm been using their protien they are great!!
66 years old this month...I swim 3 miles 4 times a week! Love the water!!
I do 2000 meters 3-4 times/week. 500 meters is easy. I am older than you. Swimming is great! I have a friend who is 85 and going strong because he swims!
@danielotwell4315 Keep rocking steady mister!
I can't hardly go 100 yards. I have always SUCKED . I told my friends when I was on a cruise ship if I go over, just keep going cause NO way I'll make it. Sad but true.
@@joelpierce3940I swim 30 miles twice a day 7 days a week
@@joelpierce3940I know people who are 85 and going strong and don't swim. The problem with swimming is that you can only ramp up the intensity so much. Same applies to running and walking. You can't manage to continuously and progressively overload your muscles. You run into some kind of limit faster than you would with resistance training. I'm not suggesting swimming is bad. I'm suggesting that without resistance training you're not getting the benefits that you think you're getting, especially for your bones. Sorry, but for all over health there is no substitute to resistance training.
Very inspirational Iam 50 with a 32 year career in CDN SF and still going hard as well. Back in the day I used to get a lot of flack for carrying around the muscle mass but if you train correctly that muscle doesn’t slow you down. Nice work Chad and Bartley.
Brick house impressed me with the swimming. With that much muscle, you're fighting to stay afloat as much as you are to make forward progress
Swimmer here, that's incorrect actually. Yes fat floats but its more about technique than muscle to fat ratios in swimming. Also not putting your head underwater while swimming makes your legs sink which is why all kids that learn to swim are instructed to put their head in the water. Your head position is super important.
Still don't believe me? Watch Eddie Hall swim at 300+ lbs he used to be a swimmer before he starting getting big into lifting.
It's comments like this that really make me see just how uneducated the general public is about almost everything
And clearly no athletic knowledge. He was just pushing water with how vertical he was. I was so very impressed with his swimming performance
Ross Edgley would disagree...
@@HSmasteryodaYou just used one of the strongest men to ever live and a genetic anomaly as an example. His muscles are literally leaner (very little intramuscular fat), thereby denser than even top strength athletes. I’d say the force he can generate kind of offsets that and he’s an extreme outlier. He was born to accel in basically any sport. Watch the video where they do an ultrasound on his muscle. I’m not disagreeing with you here but a better example would be a regular muscular guy not The Beast.
I would say body proportions are the most important factor to having good technique. Having a long and wide torso in proportion to legs is going to give you a big swimming advantage.
@16:22 In Navy Aircrew School, instructors would've been screaming: "ZERO, ZERO, ZERO, ZERO, ZERO.."
Exactly what I was going to wonder / say . . . Those don't count!
Chadd you swim smoother than some fish! Great video guys.
@@thomasbissette1572 yes sir he was cruising
😂
That was a really cool video!
Thank you for this epic “competition”
“Do it cuz you can when others can’t”…. Perfect message.
Been recovering from a car accident and every single day I work towards getting back to my former gymnastic self (3 decades later😂)
It’s a lot of work, grind, & pain:::but WORTH IT!
(I can do tiny push-ups standing on my head now!)
Super inspiring 🤩👊
HEY CHAD THANK YOU FOR MY FREEDOMS MY AMERICAN BROTHER 🗽🇺🇲❤ AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR SACERFICE MAY GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GODBLESS YOU MY BROTHER'S 🗽🇺🇲
Killer video, guys. My older brother is a body builder. This makes me want to pair up with him and do something similar here at home. Thanks for the inspiration, especially coming from fellow brothers in Christ!
I’m still smoked from that swim lol
Did you make Chadd take you to Golden Corral afterwards? 😅
@@SageOfEchoes hotdog contest 😂
Man, after like 35, I felt like it took me days to recover from a PT Test. Give yourself a week and you’ll feel awesome again!
When you integrate that swim in, it decimates all those other numbers!
I think yall did great man!
My dad was about your size in the 80s 90s. He can still put up like 350 on bench and he's 63. I tried teaching him to swim but he sinks like a rock. He was all glamor muscles, Zero cardio, and roids were a big thing back then. He has to wear an external pacemaker. Keep doing that cardio! Function over form is key! I would work on flexibility as well,.
came for the thumbnail lmao. I know its gonna be a great video
The guy with a beard is a state trooper, crazy
Thank you for your service
that horsefly on TRT SON!!!!
💀
Love these guys. Both an inspiration. I am a nurse and the comment about training for those who cant rings true to me. I will add that mindset to my workouts
In '95, I competed in the Fla Fire Olympics and did 32 pullups the same day as the 5k and rope climb. Gold in rope and pullups.
Glad u called no reps. So many guys let that stuff go. No one cares either how many you do. You’re beating most 90% of people out there anyway. Great channel.
This was awesome to watch.
I enjoyed this video. When you said "man do this for those that cant" was a gut punch for me. This has motivated me to push harder. As a DAV there are many things I can no longer do but I've got it better than a lot. Im going to swim, and walk for those that can't. Ho F**k'n Rah! And that Land Cruiser!!!
Seen this last week good content
I have been working outb3 days a week for almost 2 years. 53 years old and could not even come close to what your guys did. My hat is off to you. Nice work. You are an inspiration. Just got to go harder to maintain it.
“ alright now I’m actually gonna start runnin”😂
Run Forrest Run!! Haha...GREAT vid guys. You both kicked some ass... 🙌
Great video. The BUDS Preparation Fitness test is definitely one of the toughest in the military, just to gain orders into BUDS. Then you're required to do the test in BUDS Indoc. The swim at the very beginning zaps your strength, especially if your swim technique is substandard. The SEAL in this video was super chill and so humble. Much respect to the body builder for doing this and especially for finishing this and not giving up. I've seen a lot of folks get gassed and quit after the swim or during the calisthenics phase.
I wonder if the BUDS fit test still requires candidates to still do the 1.5 mile run in camo pants and boots though?
I remember my pst’s. Your knee hits the deck and your done son. It’s awesome to see this. Great video brother.
I remember Senior Chief Cutler too. He wouldn’t count your pull ups if your legs weren’t straight either. I remember him showing up to one of our PST’s with vodka soaked grapes. That was a salt of the earth mofo. Loads of respect for that man.
Great video and breakdown for prepping physically for the program! Also great to get an idea for setting a daily standard for myself
Should've switched into the backstroke, you can do that all day and its pert near faster.
Thank you, gentlemen, for the inspiration and motivation.
👍
Flash back from my time in the army. Pt test after drinking the day before
The whole Battery stunk like alcohol during the 2mi. You knew what the guy infront of you drank lmao
Nice work!! Once your muscles warm up... it's a great feeling.
Navy seals are some of the fittest people on earth. You cant be an elite soldier without being in elite condition.
untile they meet a MMA fighter. Look up Sean Strictland vs. Navy Seal
@@rockymountainrocket9727
Being fit and a professional fighter are two different things….anybody who thought the seal (or damn near any seal) would be able to fight a reigning UFC champ is fucking dumb
Great show of endo and strength guys. That is some serious pain.
A lot of shit being talked by dudes watching men workout.
😂😂😂 top comment on the internet
😂
Super fun to watch this guys and so impressive - well done!! 🎉💪
I failed the swim first time around.. recruiter didn't tell me anything about a sidestroke.. pulled aside for a quick class and passed it the next time
Not sure how many push-ups for the body builder guy because I didn't see a lot of locking out at the top. Oh well, still not a bad showing but the Navy Seal kept it real!
Push ups 76 sit ups 60 pull ups 16
Its better to train for real world situations im 36 210 i build as much as my balls will let me get and i swim mostly breath holding deep end with the brick
You are so right about remembering to be grateful that you are able to train. I have a close friend who wants to exercise, but she is fortunate to even be able to walk some days, with pain. She has tried to do wall pushups with a slight angle, but she hurt the tendon at the elbow. Most exercises are out. Her joints and tendons are a mess from chemo and radiation.
Couple of good dudes
Those of us that might struggle or are not capable to do this, are watching you fine gentlemen, thank you. I have stage 2 COPD but I might just give this a go.
Two tough and fit men, and men of Christ!!
"A dragonfly is biting my back" has to be the the words that nobody has ever uttered in the history of humanity😂😂😂
Bodybuilder did way better than I expected. I'm glad to see that.
Most bodybuilders are full of water weight and not real muscle. This guy looks legit 😂
@@10MM-MAGAMAN-420 Exactly. Typically full of creatine induced water retention and for pictures get a big pump on using vasodilators. He is definitely in great shape. Youth has a way of doing that though.
Retaining that muscle on 20 mile rucks would be a challenge. Your body would cannibalize a lot of it.
@@10MM-MAGAMAN-420 that's some hilarious bullshit.
Still annoyed he didn't lock out his push-ups. Clear discrepancy of ROM between the two. Both in great shape, not hating, just a pet peeve
22:30 I think that EVERY single day! Even just being able to get out of bed. Thanks for reminding us to focus on our GOOD luck!
I watched you while having breakfast, even so, it was like i was doing each exercise too in my mind lol! When I was young swimming was my life, along with skating & biking. I loved being in the water, maybe that's why I'm Aquarius LOL. I love to walk fast I can do 5 MI. I cannot do pull-ups but I only tried to a couple of times. 100 female push-ups but only a few male push-ups. I can do 35 sit-ups. I'm so glad there's many people still taking care of themselves. Way to go you two & so impressed with your sit-ups!! Take care, God bless & be safe!
Der Bodybuilder hat nicht eine einzige saubere Liegestütze gemacht, das ist Kindergarten. Respekt an den Seal !!
Thank you for Serving our Country !!
Regular Navy I usually did pushups and sit ups in the 60’s and the mile and a half in 10:55-12. I switched to the swim instead of the run and did that in about 9:00. Since then I’m still as mean, but not as lean… getting back into it now and it’s tough. Being healthy doesn’t taste as good as junk food but it sure feels a lot better!
Them horse flies aint no joke 🤣🤣
@@sanandreasX had me bleeding on my channel lol
I'm impressed with Bartley's performance, especially after that swim. Lack of technique and no goggles...he was burning twice the energy!
The other dude was cheating those pushups bad
Yeah I don't think people who don't work out understand just HOW much easier those bunny reps are compared to full reps. I'm fairly out of shape these days, put I can do 40 full reps straight still. I could probably do 70-80 of those bunny reps. Those only use your chest, which is a munch larger muscle typically than your delts and tris. It's a good way to focus just your chest, and thus why a lot of body builders who focus muscle isolation to get in extra work each week with steroid use do reps that way (and generally only as a warm-up), but for the average person it's an awful way to do a rep.
you said to pause right now... I know you were talking about puttting numbers up, but I am pausing for my brothers that aren't here with me now. Thanks for this video, man.
Shock how good big boy did..hats off to both of you!
Really impressive for a dude that’s 270 pounds. Just imagine what he can squat bench and deadlift on top of all that.
That would be another way to judge fitness. And in that case the other guy would look pathetic. For some reason people think fitness means your ability to swim a great distance or jog. That's just one type of fitness.
@@spec24
yes one type. Swim, Jog, climb ropes, jump, Clean and Jerk , The functional one.
You boys are in shape. Great shape. PHENOMENAL SHAPE! Especially at your ages. Very impressive. This comes from an older Marine who got a perfect score at USMC Bootcamp in 1986 (My #'s: 20 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups, 16:50 3-mile run). I did 53 pull-ups shooting for the regimental record which was 66, a few days earler, when I took a second to catch my breath my Senior drill instructor said to drop, so I had to right then). Anyway, this inspired me to get in shape. I just lost 48 lbs in 3 mos and completed a 4-day water fast 2 days ago. I'm 6'1 and I'm shooting for 190 lbs by Jan 30th (that should give me time to stabilize my weight and be a real 190 lbs). I really liked seeing this video. I'm 57 and have some old injuries, (need a knee replacement and an ankle ligament that needs surgery). This video is going to be the fuel I need to get me through it. Thanks for your influence in my pursuit of getting healthier and improving my physical fitness. Again, GREAT JOB! God Bless!
Who knew Asmongold was a former Navy Seal?
lol I had to cntl+f Asmon to see if anyone made this comment. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that hahaha
Marine Corp PFT back in late 70's , 300 was a perfect score, 3 mile, in 18 min., 20 pull-ups, 80 sit-ups in 2 min.
There's *no way* dude was only 2 minutes behind in the swimming portion. He was basically dead after that first lap. (No judgment, he's far more fit than I'll ever be)
When I was in I always maxed out on sit ups but fell a few short of max on pushups, That's how I already know congestive heart failure will be my fate. Back in my Army days I'd do about 65 pushups (72 max for my age range), 65-68 sit ups (65 max for my age range) and ran a best 13:48 2 mile. Army didn't test for pull ups. I'm almost 43 now and couldn't even come close to any of those numbers.
Years ago I saw my uncle who is a skinny runt beat the crap out of a monster body builder that kicked his car
I have been on backpack hunting trips with guys that look like they could carry everyone on their shoulders into the rocky mountains, but no way. Ill take the skinny guy full of tenacity all day long. Its all for show, and then you turn 60 and the roids catch up.
@@boburuncle41 saw this in land scaping, BJJ, construction, longshoring, etc.......they have no gas tank and zero agility
lean. flexible with technique, beats brute strength anyday
awesome hat and a great accent. Thanks for sharing!
Chadd has a great freestyle stroke!
He was just gliding through the water, smooth. Big guy did well too for his size but was a lot thrashier and seemed to have to work harder at it. I would expect of all things though, a SEAL would do well in the water.
The only drawback is that he breathed on one side only (my coach prohibited us doing this).
