For the Fire and Manoeuvre segment you did have the timings wrong. You have 8 seconds to sprint between each sections, from the prone position. You then wait 8 seconds and repeat. Normally you would have a PTI stood watching and blowing a whistle every eight seconds so that you know when to move and when to stay prone. The final stretch is done in 55 seconds (15m sprint and 15m crawl) however you have to do this section with rifle, helmet, body armour and webbing totalling approximately 15kg off the top of my head which does make it harder. This gear will stay on you for all the remaining tests. The whole test is actually a really good test, it simulates a tab (tactical advance to battle) with full kit, then dropping into your fighting gear for the run to simulate moving into the fight, the fire and manoeuvre replicates actual fire and manoeuvre towards an enemy position, then everything else is either resupplying or casevac for injured soldiers. It's cheeky but very doable All in all, good effort lads

yeah, i'm no bodybuilder. By conventional standards i'm not even fit. But this essentially looks like yard work at a summer cottage to me. Pick up a stone, carry it to the other side of the property, pick up a 25kg bag of sand from the car and carry it around the house to the back yard. A neighbor some 2-3 streets from you wants some nice small stones for his garden, and I have some. Well, i could take the wheel barrow, but why make it easy, let's use 2 buckets. And finally "That 120kg stone looks much better at the other end of the property. Let's start rolling." or "My outdoor fireplace would look much better with a ring of stones around it. Better use big stones. so about minimum 50kg per stone. Also lets make the ring higher by stacking the second ring on top of the first." In conclusion. You guys need to do more yard work.

@jondawrant5081 3 жыл бұрын

Speaking as a former RMC42 I can still say after being out 15+ years that the RMC course is STILL the longest and hardest in the world for any military unit. All special forces require a "personal training requirement for fitness". There are no compulsory fitness tests once you are in the SAS or SBS, SEALS etc as they expect you to maintain the standard you need to operate. Comparing these to anyone in the forces fitness wise is laughable. These guys are muscle monsters not built for cardio or endurance, it always will be a ridiculous comparison. Just pure click bait.

I dont know about anything else, but when you carried the 25kg weights in each hand that literally was my job for quite a bit. 25Kg weights for lifts/elevators. Depending on the lift/elevator it could be anywhere between 250 to 1700kgs. I usually had to walk stairs, too. They tested if the constructions are safe. So I had to bring them from the truck inside the building, usually involved stairs down or up, and then have a 30 minute break while they do their tests, and then carry them back. Mind you Im a skinny lad, no bodybuilder. The thing why you struggle so much (with everything here) is that you have isolated strength, but not functional strength. No hating or anything, but maybe it helps putting this in perspective.

@obiwanfisher537 4 жыл бұрын

@@shubhamkatyal6391 Well, isolation only works in that very specific movement you trained it for. Its relatively unstable in other conditions. Because that very specific training your muscles never learn stability. So and now when you try to carry stuff, or pull shit up, or drag something, or whatever, it may activate muscles you have trained but the supporting muscles are relatively weak and will fail first. Your movements is only as strong as your weakest muscle. This can lead to injury, and certainly leads to big and muscly bodybuilders to barely do what a soldier half of their size does. Or me being able to carry the lift weights but being skinny as shit otherwise. (The reverse)

General Stamina Test The distance a soldier runs in 12 minutes Under 2.0 Km = bad 2.0 - 2.4 Km = fair 2.4 - 2.8 km = good Over 2.8 km = excellent 2. Muscle test Four exercises performed back to back without a break, 10 times each. Four exercises make up one series. Exercise 1 = Push ups in prone position Exercise 2 = From a squatted position move to a prone position by kicking the legs back. Exercise 3 = raise legs from a prone position on back (to build a 90° angle) Exercise 4 = From a squatted position, jump upward fully stretching the legs and body, hands behind the back of the head Grading 1 - 2 series = 0 stars 3 - 4 series = 2 stars 5 - 6 series = 3 stars 7 series = 4 stars The full training obviously includes a lot of other crazy shit like making explosives from household materials and parachuting but this is just the physical component.

I would like to see you upload a video of running over 2.8 kilometers in 12 min then. Regarding the second part you completely misunderstood it. First you perform 10 push ups, followed by 10 jumps from squat position into push up position, followed by 10 leg raises to 90° while laying on your back, followed by 10 squat jumps with hands clasped behind head with full force.1 series is therefore 40 repetitions full body exercise all performed without break. 7 series will therefore be 280 full body exercises without rest.

My background is a sports coach. I am fascinated by novel training methods but am proud too that the British army is so forward looking and is using such specific functional movement based tests for candidates, compared to say doing press-ups and running. You won't be doing press-ups in a war. You will be having to hump stuff around in a backpack over uneven terrain. You will have to potentially drag a comrade to safety. Brilliant test and brilliant effort guys. I would say about the jerry cans that they'd be even more difficult to use i reckon because of (probably) the grip shape and the fluid moving inside. I get you had to improvise. Great video!

The Fire & Movement section: The 20 tactical bounds are under the PTi’s timings. Then the 55 secs relates to a 15 crawl and 15m sprint. Has to be done in under 55 seconds in fighting order. I.e webbing, helmet and rifle.
