"I hate running"- Austen , sums up almost everybodys feelings about running

I don't think people realize how crazy it is that Austin is this big and is able to move and swim these times

I was literally just now hoping something good pops up on my feed. I wasn’t disappointed 😂

I'm not an American. But I think this guy is putting himself out and showing his best. It is inspirational. Good job. Thanks, Austen.

Best creator right now.

I’ve been training for this for 6 years. Have that 9:30 swim, 100 pushups & situps, 20 pullups, and a 10:15 run. I actually used to be 250+ lbs. changed my life fully. Going to give me dreams a real shot in 2024.

Let me start off by saying i always loved our military,always had a deep respect.But in the time that ive followed u,that respect tripled because now i know what it takes.Yall do this to serve our country and a pension.I never knew tests were this hardcore.Yall do this just so you can keep us safe on homebase.SALUTE

Yay go Sarah!!!!! She’s awesome with curl ups! Great job Austen!

I follow you from Rota, ( Spain). You're my example of overcoming, I love workout, and you manage to increase motivation levels, thank you.. 😄

Thank you Austen for putting these videos out. It really inspires us to stay fit. ❤️

I would love to see Austen participate in the Selection. That show was so good. I know he'd crush it

You're still strong Austen 💪 stay strong 🇺🇸

AMAZING QUALITY W THIS😍 & navy seal stuff is so interesting!! good job!!

You and Sara are the best! "Put a ring on it," already! The sit up bit was great!

You’re doing great with your content Austen!! Keep it up😎👍

This channel is so inspirational

Hell yea Austen u crushed it 🤙🏽

Thank you man. I'm learning a lot from you and your videos. Thank you

It was the handlebar mustache that slowed you down in the water. :)

GO SARA! 👏🏿 You killed those sit-ups. It seem so many men work so hard to have muscles yet they forget their core. Austen I don't know why you always doubt yourself when it come to running because you always do good. Good job Austen.

Awesome! keep up the great vids!

I've been waiting a long time for this!

Thanks guys! Love watching your vids. You inspire not only physically but mentally as well. See you next time!

This was fun to watch!

Really insightful videos.

That's quite impressive, good job!

Hi sir, new to the ch. I remember that burn when I first started training! Some tips, saw your running, control your breathing, example MetallicA’s Enter the sandman drum bass breath to that beat and a bit slower for control, two, as you run keep your hands straight out like knifes cutting the air helps with circulation and rhythm. Three, for that heavy leg hold your knee to your chest will take time then no support by hands, then keep leg out straight using different muscles and build strength. As you run also toe raise run to get a feel for being light, you’ll feel like a spring but you’ll get the rhythm down and run lighter. Numbers are always low starting off, but as the weeks go by, see times drop and numbers go up feels great! Max out day suck but when you see your numbers you feel great!!!

Austen challenging Sara to curl ups! The competition is on!

Sara is cray in a good way! always brings levity... recently started watching your vids. I really enjoy the "competitive" motivation. I like that you compete against yourself and also bring in others. True competition!

Okay are we not gonna talk about HER sit ups?? I want to see Sarah do the challenge!!

Good Job!! Retired Navy Diver here and I remember doing that test in bootcamp at 18 yrs old :) ... wearing Dungarees and Boondockers lol.

They completely ignored the timed rest periods( 10 min after swim, 2 min after push ups, 2 min after curl ups, unlimited time on pull ups then ten min before the run)

Goo Sara! Love when she is on the videos

Austen you should try the firefighter pt test, it’s really unique and I think it will be a good challenge and make an awesome video for you

Man... I watched your vids where an Olympic Runner and Olympic Swimmer beasted the test, and then watching you do it is inspiring.

I was thinking that Austen would get at least 70 push ups than I remembered he swam 500 yards before hand😅

you always up to something crazy!!!

Hey Austen, I just want to thank you real quick, for most of my life I have been overweight and very unhappy with my body, in fact quite insecure about it, people used to make jokes about it, then one day I found your KZfaq channel, I watched all your military fitness tests and challenges and got inspired to do them myself, I have been doing them for a while and I am seeing huge results already, my biceps a lot bigger and harder, same with my legs and core, I really am happy with my body now and promise to keep it in good condition for as long as I live, I really want to thank you for posting these videos and challenges helping inspire us and giving me a challenge to have my best go at and help other people get their bodies nice and healthy, keep doing what you are doing and don’t listen to anyone who tells you different, rock on mate! P.s: Sorry if this got a little deep 😆

Way to crush it Austen! Sit-ups are rough for us taller folk! lol Impressive that you got all 50 in the first minute basically. Same with the push-ups -- got nearly all 50 in the first minute! Dang man! Well done.

Cant wait to see it

awesome work brotha man!

Loved the video 📹

Yay Sarah! Beating Austen in sit ups 😊

This is so cool!!

Great video man!!

I'm a former Seal and watching this was very nostalgic. I hit a homerun on most things but the pullups. I was a tall, skinny kid lacking upper body strength and while I obviously hit the pullups, I did so barely. However, I did so well in the other areas I was looked at favorably overall. For those thinking of going to BUDS, the absolute best suggestion I can suggest is working on endurance. Of course, you'll want to practice these particular exercises but even if you can't (as in maybe you have no pool access like I did at that time), practice intermittent sprints and other things to build your heart up. TRUST ME! This will help you in the long run. The test is nothing compared to actually showing up at BUDS and keeping up. If you are a weightlifter, stop! The extra muscle will only make your life worse. If you must lift, lots of high rep stuff. Get slim and trim. Look at the difference in the body types between Ryan and Austen. That says it all. Major kudos to Austen. This is no easy test even for those training for this. The dude is big and he pulled it. Big props for putting it on the line for the world to watch Austen. For those of you wanting to go this path... Hooyah!

Sarah is a BOSS! I laughed out loud when she said, "That I killed it" cuz she did

Sarah did great with the sit ups, but in fairness to Austen he has more weight/muscle making him having to pull more up and he just got done with the swim and push ups. All though I’m glad to see Sarah become more comfortable on camera and it’s fun to see her push and challenge Austen to do his best😊👍

gotta work on that stroke form Austen! I think reading up or watching form videos will really help you excel at these specwar screening tests

Ryan, nice to see you gettin after it ol swim buddy!

Good luck with your journey sweetie 😘

I past my pst a week ago and now I’m just waiting go to Bootcamp 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Goated KZfaqr 🐐

Having completed Boot Camp, Aircrew School with water survival and the Helo dunker, along with SERE, it’s cool to watch these test

Combat side stroke is not easy. Excellent job!

On the sidestroke: you can do a flip turn off the wall, and glide underwater half way each length. You can easily take off 2 minutes.

In the 90's the black boots were called boondockers. Good job!

You have pass with a minimum requirement but not a competitive requirement, but still lookin good. A few more training days you can do it. Nice video!

You are the best one .i like your content Your friend from morocco

Situps was my best event in the Army. I use to knock out about 76 in two minutes.

It would be nice if you told the viewers this isn't only for seals, this test is for swcc, EOD, Diver, AIRR, and SARC I believe.

Inspiring

Everything is interesting and I hope I have a chance to involve on any training before join those interesting test...🙏 to happen

Austen, time to start up push-ups / sit-ups after every bathroom break? :) (I say as you literally crush my time on the run)

I’m actually very impressed you passed the run

I actually just did a SEAL PST on Thursday did pretty good.

Our old platoon commander was a MCIWS. He made our platoon swim damn near everyday and we all had a goal of 500M in under 11 minutes. Way easier said than done, and I am a very good swimmer.

I took asvab today and got approved for SWCC and Diver. I’m going to aim for it after bootcamp , stuck between LSS and GM.

To be competitive in Navy SO you should be shooting for 6-8min swim and run, 100 push-ups/sit-ups, 20 pull-ups.

Heading to 50 now, smoked since about 15. Following SAS personal trainer by John Lofty Wiseman for almost 20 yrs now & can do these tests except for the swim- just getting back in to it now after not much since I was a kid. Your crunches and pull ups are broken :P Bit too much work on those biceps has got you out of balance? Great vid!

Been watching you do these tests for a while! Should totally do the air force special warfare PAST. Little harder in my opinion! I’d do it with you side by side !😂

When doing sit-ups, you're wasting energy when your going back down. You ain't gonna break the ground so just slam your back on the pad and bounce back up.

Awesome

Great job on the test, the sad thing is that because of the manning for Specwar in the Navy your scores don’t even need to be competitive to get a contract anymore, people barely passing the minimum for seal or swcc, ect will get contracts. Which is doing a disservice to that applicant and the community they are trying out for. Cause now they get their contract not as prepared as they could be and the community isn’t getting quality candidates

I enjoyed this video... Thanks brother... Motivation for my 3 mile run now 😪🤦

Doing these alone is always easier but when you have other people assessing you it does for many people have a wearing down effect.

Just a quick content suggestion for future videos. Trying out every military training of different countries and establish comparisons between trainings you're used to.

Sou brasileira adoro seus vidios meu sonho era conheçer voce parabens pelo que voce faz 💞💞

i am not mad i am impressed

Looks like austen is going to buds!

Most push ups I got without touching was about 40. Nice job, I can pass the sit ups, but not the pull ups.

What shorts do you wear? I need a good pair for the gym. Great video btw!

12:30 seconds is the minimum swim time and 8 minutes is considered a competitive time for seal physical fitness test so 10 minutes is definitely a solid time

You should come to my Spec war program we use a 50 meter long pool and when we pst no googles.

I did this pre qual SEAL test back in 89 and it was a ball breaker of a test. I passed but almost lost it on the pull-ups.

ever thought about giving the firefighter PAT a go?

All this sort of confirms that the best body for the seal selection is lean since you have better strength to weight ratio. Less drag on swim, easier push ups and pull ups and sit-ups.

I remember those pst days 🤤

She crushed the sit-ups! 😂

Curl ups are a hip flexor movement. Gotta go for the full 2 minutes.

She frickin smoked you in the sit-up contest 🤣🤣🤣🤣

All these videos I've watched by Austen, I could've sworn I've subbed from the first video I saw on his channel but it said it wasn't so I'm over here upset and confused now lol.

57 push ups/8:15 500 swim/16pull ups/ 100 curl ups/9:39 1.5 mile run. I’m a amateur boxer

Wow!

my pst: push -ups:130, sit-ups: 60, pull-ups: 25, 1.5 mile run: 9:00 , 500 yard swim: 8:59. your take on this?

I wasn't even paying attention when he did push ups..I was too busy looking at cake!

My buddy just did and passed his screening the 100 push-ups isn’t true 80 is the A tier and the instructor made him stop when he hit 80 though his pull-ups they made him do full upper body pull-ups which he hit 14 out of 15. Not sure if it is different at different places or if they changed some stuff or the past year

Number 1 USA.🌎🇺🇸🦅 God bless America.🇺🇸🙏🏻

A mile in a half in under 10:30 is cooking. Thats impressive actually

What brand are your black slippers look nicer than flip flops. Great video thanks.😂
