first
don’t click the scam below me please, i bet it 101% contains a virus.
Jadasa Tara stop recking the comment section
Just to let you know TRADOC just stopped this new test 😂 in other words we’re already getting rid of this test. We’re going back to traditional APFT.
As a soldier myself you guys have no idea how incredible this actually is. I know soldiers who have trained every day for years and don't break 550. To get a 598 (should've been 600) on your first try is one of the most impressive things i have seen in my life. Thank you for doing this. If i wasn't convinced you're the GOAT I am now!
@@daveaglasgow yeah the army is moving towards more of a CrossFit type fitness standard and focusing less on cardio. 13:30 should be easy but it’s harder than you would think after doing all that other stuff first.
Bruh it's 498..
I was in the Air Force back in the late 70s, early 80s... Back then our physical fitness requirement was to "run" 1.5 miles in under 14:30.... I was at my max weight for my height and constantly harassed by the Squadron Commander from our Orderly Room, (if we go to war, everyone is going to be waiting on you) he was a 2nd Lt., probably only a few yrs older than me... We ran the annual event on a 1/4 mile track... This chubby kid ran it in just under 9 minutes and posted the 3rd fasted time of all enlisted folks in my unit... on my last lap, I lapped the 2nd Lt, I quickly grabbed a cigarette from a friend, and was smoking it next to the start/finish line as the 2nd Lt ran by with one lap to go and cheering him on... you can do it!! A few days later at Commander's Call, I was brought up on stage and given a 3 day pass for a top 3 finish..... He never harassed me about my weight again... lol I hope their standard has changed, cause 1.5 miles in 14:30 was way too easy, you could probably walk it in with a fast paced walk...
@@daveaglasgow ah yes, the good old "someone is bigger/faster/stronger than me they must be on drugs" argument.
I think the much much more impressive thing is sub 1:43 800m which he ran at London Olympics.
Shout out to Michael for doing this after 15 miles
I know! He is a world class steeplechaser.
15 miles at 4:40 pace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@larrylem3582 I honestly couldn’t tell if that was a joke or not. That pace is a 1:01:08 half marathon!
@@larrylem3582 per kilometer?
@@tommy7467 He must be exaggerating a bit. Probably ran the last couple miles at that pace. He has made the Olympic Trials in the Steeple , so he is legit but unless your a 2:04 Marathoner, you are not doing 15 miles at that pace. And even then, you would be boarderline racing.
I had a PL who was like the 4th person to get a 600 his first try, two days later he wanted to see what he could get in his plate carrier.. this beast of a man got a 598. Most impressive thing I’ve seen physically!
Sounds like Urtz
This was one of your best videos. I am really impressed with your stamina and energy.
Yeah same, especially that bruh throw.
i think now he is ready to challenge the instagram fitness model that beat him...it must haunt him...but she is really a beast
Getting a 600 on the ACFT is very hard, I’m giving you credit because of that first throw!
its honestly kinda funny cuz when they started that challenge i thought to myself "what happens if they hit one of the pieces of wood up there" but didnt expect it to actually happen
Guess no matter how disabled I am, I'm still gonna have to work hard to make money and build muscle, thanks for the encouragement.
Keep grinding brother💪
💪
❤️
shit country we live in
Whatever u believe u can achieve remember that
Gabby is a beast. I like that the test is the same for men and women. Other then the run at the end, id say this favors more heavy set weight lifting style builds.
Thank you!! I struggle on the run but will keep striving to improve!
It’s probably because it’s arguably easier to get a better endurance than it is to get stronger
@@joshustaran-anderegg9399 depends on the person I’d guess
@@gabbers009 dude you’re killing it, I haven’t seen a single person in my home unit touch a score in the 500s yet, you rock!
@@RockBlockbuster kfalls_armynationalguard
I'm in the Army and have taken the ACFT several times at this point. It is a hard test, even with months of training. This video is probably the best "XX Tries the ACFT" that I've seen so far. I really appreciate the effort you put into this video and have so much respect for your abilities. A fan as always!!
I'm in the guard and completely agree with you
Why is the army so unfit, this really doesn't seem that hard. I noticed that the cardiovascular fitness levels were extremely low for these recruits. A sub 13:30 2 miles should be pretty easy for anyone who is fit and especially people that train for this.
@@daveaglasgow Do you run??? Can you run a sub 13:30 two mile???
Dave I don’t understand when your saying it’s easy bruh u should literally post a video about you running 2 miles under 13:30 I mean it’s not the hardest thing but saying it’s easy makes me think that you havnt even tried it and being cocky that u can
@@101lifeanddeath Been training for the run. Quickest I did was 16:41 2 mile
I saw a lot of fitness influencers also doing the Army Fitness test, but this time it's Nick! Great video!
He should try a run on the Currahee mountain ( 3 miles up 3 miles down ) in boots ( short military boots )
Truly amazing video brotha! Get this man to 600k!!
Get him to 1m
Yeee
Hi can you please help me I really wanna visit America 😢
@aj lapray Yo Cheeks Ok After That Pimp Slap
When I was in the Army all we did was push-ups 2:00 min, sit-ups 2:00 min, and the two mile run. To max all you needed is 60, 85 and a 13:30, so pretty easy to max out, but I'm not sure if I would have maxed out with these new challenges!
The sprint drag carry will have your legs wobblin’, especially right before the 2 mile 😂
“That’s the evilest thing I can imagine”
I almost puked one time after I did the sprint drag carry lol
It really is just pure ridiculousness
You're a beast. I would pass out after doing this
Mans a legend for doing this 🤟
It's a really fun set of challenges!!
@@nicksymmonds really, i was impressed by your performance!!! Excelente!!
Great Video Nick! The thresholds for max points in some of the events were just perfect enough where you could hit them and the others couldn't gain any extra points. Keep up the great work!
Nick is so well rounded, a true athlete indeed.
Exactly how you need to do the leg tuck, keep the rhythm going and pumping!
I just can't say enough how much I love this channel. I'd love to try this challenge. Might have to set it up.
Your energy is unmatched, dude. Keep inspiring people, you're way too good at it.
Nick this was an awesome video. As a veteran thank you for highlighting this for us. You totally killed this test. The Citizen Soldiers in this video are awesome. Thank you for your service.
ur are just an inspiration. thank u for motivating us. great job nick ,keep up the good work
Thank you for watching!!
You rock Nick! Love the video! Thank you for including me. 💪🏼
As a power lifter it took me a little while to subscribe to your channel. However, you have some really great fitness challenges, a great attitude and really encourage people to succeed in their fitness and in life! Thanks for your content!
Cap Tom was in his bag this episode. Dude killed every event effortlessly
that was fun to watch. good job guys!! and nick, you smashed it. well done!
Mad respect to you for getting that score at the age of 37!! Absolute legend
Tom crushed that Sprint Drag event. He is an all-round athlete!
A round of applause for the soldiers❤️🙏💯
Nick you lit it up 💯🔥
These military videos are really cool. I would consider doing a Navy PST test for special warfare navy. Austen Alexander does them and that would be a cool collaboration. It’s a little different starting with 500 yard swim, push-ups pullups, sit-ups, and 1.5 mile run.
That is really impressive, Nick, and everyone else
Great Test man!
Loved this one!
Your edition was my favorite out of all the ones i've watched
Just found your channel and I love it keep up the good work 👏
Great video Nick! Keep up the work
Hell yeah, bro! Made the ACFT look easy.
Subscribed 🙏🏽
I'm the biggest and slowest person on our track team and even though I do shotput and discus when we run like 100s-1 mile u are a big inspiration to go till my legs die.
This was an interesting and fun video to watch, Nick!
I've only taken the acft once since I'm reserves and it's truly a test of endurance and mental focus
Love seeing this channel go up!!!!!!!
Thank you for showing the test and your product. Take care and stay safe.
Best of luck with your endeavors.
Love how Michael just casually talked and conversed with Nick while running. Like, dang, made that look effortless.
We just did this in our Track Team with the National Guard. It was fun
The Man. The Myth. The Legend. Nick can do ANYTHING!💪🏻
Always belive in yourself never give up❤️❤️
Just always waiting for your content ❤️❤️
Nice work!
The sprint, drag, and carry is a significant emotional event. Way harder than it looks!
HEY NICK!! great video!! I was wondering if you could do a video series with all the military branches!! I LOVE THE NAVY!! And would love to see those videos!
Great content as always!!!
Absolutely enjoyed this video, crushed the ACFT Nick!
Finally some different content than the challenges! I like the challenge videos but they can get stale quickly if that’s all you do. Keep up the creativity and good quality vids nick!
that was a cool video and format, thanks yallzz;
"Can i go the Distance" Love the David Goggins reference :)
This was very interesting to watch. Nice job
Human beings are the ones who show the way with good foresight
This video is really fantabulous 🔥✨, please continue this series and also I am your big fan ....
You are the best athlete I have ever seen in my life
One of the best video 👌👌👌
Loved it
Love the narration man. Oh and btw that gymshark hoodie is cool
I love how competitive nick is. 💪💪💪
What an awesome video filled with positive vibes
You was flying through their good job mate
This is so great. Thumbs up to them all.
This was awesome. More challenges. Different ones would be fun.
Love your videos man!
Very entertaining to watch! Make more vids like this and keep up the good work, Nick!
These videos are awesome! Keep it up Nick
Thank you!!
SGT Roberts here, never knew this video was up!! Nice to see the ORARNG being represented!! SFC Z!!!!!
The older gentlemen and the woman were the shockers. Really really impressed by them
the woman finished dead last
@@drakemordred2982 It's true, head to head men of the same athletic ability will always handily beat a woman of the same ability. However, I'd wager that Gabi is stronger and more fit than the vast majority of men out there.
@@Nightweaver1 Its the Military and War. Shes going to be fighting against men.
Very entertaining video as always!
That was cool. Nicely done.
Just love this. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹.
What an awesome event, here's hoping that it becomes an annual event
Captain Tom is amazing!
Amazing!!!!
You all have my admiration. As a former Soldier it's been almost two decades since I was last in. I know that right now I could not be able to pass the new test. When I was in the military I was not the biggest guy but I did earn the PT patch and score pretty high on my PT test but I don't think I would be able to score anywhere near as high as you all did even when I was in my Prime.
I play highschool football and this morning we did this test it WAS NOT easy😅
Captain Tom is just a beast!
Im in the army done many of these never been more impressed with one I've maxed it and 1 other person max but still isn't as impressive for someone who doesn't train for theses events YOU MAKE IT LOOK EASY
A big salute to the military
That’s a sick edit for the time lapse during the two mile
Your videos are only one I click like before viewing because I am positive it will be that good!
Incredible video liked and subscribed.
Perfect
I always struggled with the ACFT, I've been training almost everyday and watched this for pointers. Nick, put me in a video, please!
that lady on the army is MAD STRONG
Thank you! ARMY National Guard Strong 💪🏼
Absolute banger vid!
Great job thanks for the video
The beast/Nick your awesome.
Rooting for you and Gabi in it.
Wanted 1, 2. (Either way) lol.
Your awesome, smashed them.
LOL I saw the shed starting the video like... wait! I know that place! Camp Wythicombe indeed lol.
MJ super out of regs with those leg sleeves btw...
Shout out to SSG Miller! Haha
Captian Tom is a beast
The new test looks way more fun
inspirational!
Another banger 💪
Bro. I was waiting for you to do this. Most guys can't achieve your score! Lol Great video bro.
that edit of you running with Michael looks so cool
Came back to watch this video after I got out of the Marine Corps in June. Now I’ve submitted my paper work to join the National Guard wanted a reminder on what I gotta do lol
This was a fun video I want to try this challenge in the near future!
This was an awesome video!
I could demolish the 2 mile. My PR is 10:55, and I haven’t ran anything under a 5k for a year, and I’ve been training hard. Still extremely impressive though! Go at it!
Lesgoo BISON we got this, let's show them how it's done 👍👍
Love it!
favorite video so far
