I would LOVE to see Ant Middleton....on the Jocko WIllink podcast.
Testosterone would be palpable
And possibly Rogan
I was thinking the same thing for a loooong time! Own both Extreme Ownership and First Man In. Both men are mentors in real life! It would be just too good to be true! SEAL and SBS guys together - a whole new level of awesome!
I respect Jokko but you could never just have a pint and a laugh with him ,Ant is a mans man on every level .
Two self help gurus jerking each other off while they pretend to be experts on everything.
Ant Middletons mindset is perfect
Just finished Ant's book. He's led some life and he's still fairly young. Good on him for turning things around.
I instantly became a fan of Ant after watching him on the SAS: Who Dares Win. His discipline and consistency are amazing!
@@perardua1861 Ant Middleton is a hero. That's what I emphasized mate.
Good man ant. Looking forward to reading your book the fear bubble. I'm 6,3" built well but struggle with fear but don't know what I'm afraid of. Keep going you warrior. Thanks to you both..
You're afraid of death big guy. If you can genuinely say you are not, you will have no fear.
Reading his new book plus seen him live in Brighton. Inspirational guy.
Great advice. Very generous soul
Would love to see Ant and Goggins going at it
Yessss
Skip to 7:12 for the fitness part
Cheers
Words of Wisdom to live by
I recognise every point of his argument. I once laughted at a body-builder who could only do 8 pull-ups. To which he said they were hard for him do to his weight - so I added discs slung around my neck to equal him - and managed 8.
Like Ant, as a young guy I did everything to the extreme - learned from my time in the Royal Navy - and I'm paying for it all now in my 60's.
Take up yoga !
Yea that always makes me laugh when a bodybuilder who 6 stone heavier than yourselve out lifts u with weights, they think they the hulk, but when it comes to the punch bag or press up, dips, pull ups, its cos they to big ha ha ha some body builder are helmets lol 😂
@@paulwatkins142 'Helmets' hahahahaha!
I give them 90 seconds to punch out on the bag but they never last that long.
8 is good, what you on about pussy internet geek?
It's just so true. All the people who love teaching their environment and can't take any different opinion or critizism are exactly the ones who have stopped developing
Best thing about this guy is his Accent...So so cool
Bloody loose austin powers backtrack ffs,,distracting.
LOL
Objection :D I could happily enjoy a shower to that.
When it comes to leadership, I'm glad i watched this video, which is free, instead of spending tens of thousand in a MBA.
Don’t get the back ground music thing people are moaning about, to interested in listening to Mr Middleton , excellent advise 👍
Absolutely bang on the money about the being a good leader. Have integrity, be humble and concentrate on bonding the team not the cause whether it be in the army of being a gaffer in the local factory.
inspiring man
Awesome!
It's true about age but what you eat and suppliment to get optimal health and performance is very important. I hit my late 40s and noticed things go down hill but exercise, good nutrition helps me big time, a 2 mile run is no problem for me and I feel alot better after it. I listened to my body, it hates sugar now days, I have all sorts of side effects from even a bar of choclate so I try to keep it under 5mg a day and watch for the hidden sugars.
Retro Wrath you’re right, sugar is the poison, not fat or carbs (in moderation of course).
Great post !
Ant is a nice guy!
Ant Middleton, Goggins and Wilink in one interview would be 😍
@@tamilblackboy7282 are three ideas inside her mind actually 😁
Good press-ups
BEAST
Does anyone know the song at the beginning of the video?
This vid doesn't need the silly background music. I'd rather listen to what they have to say without the guitar..
Podcast with Joe Rogan was suggested, but what about Jocko Willink too?
Recommend you also read 'The Fear Bubble'. Good intel balanced with interesting anecdotes. Decent read, that...
Steve Lesson in the middle of reading it now, would recommend.
Listening to Ant talk about leadership being ownership just really makes me want to see him on Jocko Willink's podcast
Heavy! This guy got ripped since his days on late night with ant and dec! Almost didn't recognize him without his hosting partner standing next to him.
Cowboy Animal ..............
@@razadaza1557 Sorry I don't speak morse code.
😂
Can Joe Rogan grab this man for a chat please
What shoes is her wearing?
There is always one winner. Thats Father Time
Ant and Ross Edgley collab would be amazing!!
Well, I'm almost 62 and have been doing press ups and some weights on a regular basis for a few years. Depending on the day as well as my mood, I can do anything between 160 & 200 push ups in a single set. Occasionally, I will do a set of 120 wearing a 10kg sports vest. The most push ups I've achieved in around 1hr 20mins was approximately 1800 over several sets. Was getting into more weights recently but had to stop due to a shoulder/ac injury whilst curling. Was struggling with 4 reps @ 54kg and in a lot of pain, but was hoping to achieve 60 or even 70 kg curls on the E-bar.
You fucking beast. Make a video please
@@jakemorrison8507
Yeh..I should do that..just never think about it. I would do the SAS challenge but there's an upper age limit. I think Ant & Co should do a one off program to test if guys in their 60's can achieve combat fitness. I was in an artillery TA unit 32 years ago. Did my basic training at Woolwich and went on to start my commando training. Was 6 wks into my commando course and my wife kicked off over the TA, and gave me the ultimatum: it was either her or the TA. Lots of other crap going on and I handed my kit in. My sergeant was a decorated Falklands War hero who served in the Paras, and then transferred to 148 Command when he was involved in a raid on the Islands. He wouldn't accept my resignation and suggested I spent 2 weeks to reconsider my resignation. He said he had no issues with me and that I just got my head down and got on with it. But my wife walked out on me and took our three daughters. After 2 weeks out I handed in my kit..my sergeant said that it was too serious a situation and he wouldn't allow the army to split up a marriage.
I wonder what hair gel he uses
SAS spunk.
Good video but the double up of obnoxious subtitles is un-ncessary.
All good training thoughts, minus the situps! I was surprised, after all the other sound choices. If you don't know why, look it up; important concept, even the US military is starting to change it.
Yea, I thought the entire fitness industry had moved on from sit-ups.
@@30m3 I see martial artists still do these for whatever reason
What's wrong with sit ups?
Everybody should be able to lift theyre own bodyweight. Functional training isnt just about training for the sport you are practicing. Its about beeing better to do the everyday jobs tasks and so on. But train as you feel fit. Its the same as music. The best music in the world dosent exsist. Its what you enjoy most that is the best for you. What makes you feel like the best you. Just my opinion
This would of have been a more viral, inspirational video with the right backing music... What have they done to poor Ant with that backing music!
its got almost 300 000 views wanker.cant you concentrate on what Ant is saying?Too hard for you???
So true what good are you if you can’t lift your own weight
Yahhhhhoooooo.....FINALLY - SOMEONE WHO EMPLOYS & PROMOTES THE FUNCTIONAL FITNESS MYTHOLOGY THAT IVE TAUGHT PARA's FOR YEARS
He's former SAS lol 🍻
@@KumaBean yes but you would be surprised at how many people don't actually employ this!
@really sore knee check your facts first!
@really sore kneewhatever.
DROP BOX AD CAME UP
The David Brent of the special forces community.
Oh right. Which unit were you in?
Fuck me I was literally about to comment this 😂 "they say never make the same mistake twice.... no, make that mistake 20, 30 times... as long as your learning something... yeah" haha classic Brent
@@thejc5350 ooh, your hard.
Genuinely funny comment. John Coles reaction is even funnier. Unit? Funny as f@#k. I never got posted to a unit. Ex SAS, must know everything about life.
Dave 101 what are you talking about you mong?!
what happened to clive on menshealth forum
What about kettlebells?
I thought elbows needed to be tight to hips when doing RM press ups?
He wasn't even using full range of motion.
@@30m3 I didn't want to say that.....
Strange how he looks at the floor and avoided eye contact so much
Carn5haun 85 guessing because he’s making most of this up
@Marcus Ant has no reason to lie or embellish anything, the guy is former SAS, he climbed down from the summit of Mt. Everest in a snowstorm for crying out loud, this man has done and seen things you or I probably can't even imagine.
KumaBean actually he was part of the royal marines for 7 years serving four of those as an SBS sniper. But before that he was in the british army for 5 years
KumaBean but sbs operatives tend to be more experienced than sas operatives
Marcus Lea Do your parents know that you're using the internet?
music ruins , why any music at all ?
Quitting is an important skill.
Knowing when to quit and striking a balance is more important not just the being able to give up
If you quit once you will again, if you start something finish it
300 Spartans starring Ant Middleton
He has the same eye feature as Brian Blessed
his voice sounds like david beckham
Kinda has a robin williams vibes from good will hunting. #itsnotyourfault
Most INSPIRING !!! 💥🦾👍💯🙏
He is without doubt on gear
Piers joe rogan ant Middleton and mike Tyson podcast needs to happen
Throw Harry hill in there
Im 25 and already feel like Im going downhill
Your body begins to decline in your mid 20s so... Time to start saving for lifetime trt lol
I'm 48 in December I broke both my heels from a fall, 6 months in a wheel chair, today 10 months from the accident iv done 2half hours of yoga, walked 3 miles cross country, and done 10 reps of weights on arms back shoulders and 10 pull ups, this is my daily workout, don't quit everyday is a new start but once you start don't stop,
Background music ruined that interview
Ant is the perfect cross of fitness and size. Anyone know if he's on the gear or not? How is he so big?
Almost certainly not on anything IMHO, definitely has an achievable physique. Only thing potentially could be is something to help his recovery, but i personally seriously doubt he is on anything. Hard work and dedication can get people a LONG way.
@S DJ it is impressive for a natural like myself. I don't see a gut?
@S DJ I see what you mean. Although it's not garunteed. I'd still like to try and aim for his size regardless!
He definitely used to be on steroids I remember him admitting it, I think in his book, not sure he is anymore, but I guess people who previously do it are more likely to do it again, don’t think it’s that big of a deal even if he is on something TRT, not like he’s competing in a sport.
Just because hes athletic does not mean he is on steds and growth. He just puts in the work and has a solid frame which anyone can get just you have to work for it. What i call a dad bod lol, i have 1,i aint ripped but im a decent size and can open tins of jam just by looking at them when the wife is sweating trying to remove it lol.
lmao... just learned "press up" is same as push up. You learn something new everyday
I just learned despite the scientist look you're not that clever
Is he related to Kate?
_'Fall by the waist'_ ??
Poetic license perhaps?
Ah .. well yes, I suppose that is a possibility. 😊
He's David Brent .
HOCU SI RAZVOD. NEMAM MUZHA ZNACHI RAZVOD TREBA.
Interesting enough - so many leaders aren't in charge of themselves and their lifestyles.
Absolutely. Those type of leaders also tend to not notice when a team member is struggling. If you live like sh*t and feel terrible, you start to not care about yourself, and therefore others. Also, those types of leaders actually wish a hard time on their team members, drag them down to their level of living.
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS..?? MM .. .
Is ant natty? I think he is. What does everybody else think?
he is but didn't used to be, he says so in his book
Yes, he isn't big by any measure. He is clearly very fit though.
no he says in his book he was hammering steroids all throughout his late 20's. Natty now but. If you go onto his instagram there's a pic he posted of him back in the Army when he was on roids and he's as wide as a bus.
That pushup at 0:09 was pathetic, your former drill sargeant would go fucking spare if he saw that 😂
Ant stop poussin, and start the tai chi bro
Do do, do do, da da, da da =Police 😀
WTF?
Great guy but haven’t a clue what he’s talking about lol
Actully he's spot on mentioning about the balance of lifestyle and workouts mixing it up listening to your body.
A hard man that wears hair gel.ok
Functional fitness is the most misused term in fitness
His voice sounds like it should belong to some basement dork and not a hardcore SAS badass!
This beard carry
On, it's NOT 2010!!!!
Who are you to say how he should present himself?
@@nomore5668 So watching him barking and shouting at folk trying their best but because he is more able for that particular job that he has been doing for 25 years that is ok IS IT!
@@daveyeddie8176
Yes it is o.k. it's perfectly fine and exactly what people sign up for. He's maintaining a standard that must be met, that's the entire point of what he does and why people look to him for advice.
As for the beard, that's completely subjective and down to him to decide. Nobody with any self esteem gives a fook what is trendy or "right now".
The voice of someone that can't grow one, and follows trends men have grown beards from the beinging of time
@@leeillman7195 Give over, old hat.
Awful soundtrack. 😖
that goddam text all over the screen needs to go
His high voice is really annoying
Ant can't even look the guy in the eye. Watch what he's doing. It's as if he's talking to someone else. He's all show
4:46. Looks like to me Ants looking him in the eyes.
@@graysonbubb1177
Agree..although when you watch Ant interviewing the recruits for selection, he goes between looking directly at candidates and looking away. Is he observing and then evaluating and then considering the next move or question.
Stop talking and grow food
Obviously Ant can do all those pushups, but in that test, he was doing half reps and his arms were too wide. Those reps wouldn't count in the royal marines since its not the correct royal marine push-up technique they expect recruits to do. So, in that test, he would've failed.
Kill without conscience ....this is no role model, shame on you mens health , did he make the Iraq cover?
If you are at war you have to,
Wank
Oh piss off mate he was in the SBS he had to kill
