The fact that Even hiked in the mountains for 35 hours with a 35kg pack and looked fresh as a daisy afterwards, compared to how destroyed he was after the treadmill test just shows how hard that test it.

It's punishing even with bodyweight. 12% doesn't sound like much, but at that pace it feels like a sprint

@@jonathanasdell9310 Doing this on the bicycle with a backpack on the shoulders seems a hard thing to do. Of couse that backpack makes a rider more imbalanced than the runner so great part of power is wasted and the more steeper it gets the heavier the extra weight of a bike, but still you can imagine it's easier to maintain 7km/h on the bicycle than on foots.

@@y.5107 I thought that Evan was taller but it has been a while since I watched the video so I might be wrong. Shorter people have an advantage in regards to balance. Taller people have a longer gait but also generally have a bigger body mass. I think in this case it's rather the stamina of a known exercise that makes the change than their body types. You certainly know that the body gets used to a certain type of effort and might struggle (comparatively speaking) if performing a different one.

Getting the bag dialed in has to be pretty critical. You can see when Magus was running his right strap had a lot of slack and the bag was knocking his shoulder with the worst possible timing, basically having to fight to maintain stability 50ms before he's trying to connect his right foot to the ground. That had to suck away a lot of energy. But when Evan was running everything was tight and it moved with him instead of against him.
@sherria4920

@ericastier1646
@ericastier1646 9 ай бұрын
Well pointed out about Magnus' loose bag was spreading out the kinetic energy disallowing his muscles a clear rythm of tension followed by relaxation which leads to inefficient muscle use and fatigue. Also foot stride does matter at constant speed. Magnus being shorter had to move his legs by that % more over time. Although people would correctly argue that longer limbs create more leverage resistance and tiredness, so it might not be a good point.

@@Jiggleton Simple question. Granted it's a loaded question, I'll give you that. But it's a fair question. Whenever we Americans think of South Korea we generally think of "Squid games", "Train to Busan", other zombie and cool movies and K-Pop. We think of makeup wearing, earing wearing, soft looking men in general. Though I get that it's probably a small minority like in the US. But you would think that MANDATORY training would cut off such behavior from manifesting. Like I get why it's prevalent here, but why over there?

I was in a light infantry unit in the Army 7TH Infantry Division (Light). I used to love when we were on runs and road marches training, or whatever we used to destroy other units. When our cohort first got to the unit we were thinking there was no way we were going to keep up. I actually thought I was going to have a heart attack sometimes, but no matter how bad it got you never let yourself give in. You wanted to quit but you didn't. Every minute you told yourself just one more minute then I'm done. I couldn't believe what billy goats these guys were either. We spent a lot of time in mountains and hills in California, Utah, Panama, and other places. I'm not saying we were mountaineers like these guys. We learned rappelling and stuff, but I remember climbing such steep stuff that you were barely leaned forward, and had your hands and feet on the ground at the same time. All of the sudden 3 months later it dawns on you that you're doing the same thing as the guys that you thought were superhuman, and even though it's painful you kind of learn to push the pain aside and just concentrate on the next step. But you pay for it when you get older. The number of guys with wrecked knees is pretty crazy. Other body parts too. All of us miss it, but no way my 53 year old body could perform at the level.

With the ball most people would probably throw out their back and be unable to make it to the last test and the ones that do, would most likely call it quits before the 5 minute mark.

I won't make it to 30 min but I'll go as far as I can. However in my situation now, I will never even be allowed onto the treadmill, so my willpower and determination is pointless. That's my point. I applied for police, passed everything over the 6 month selection then the last part before training (the medical) they failed me because one of my ears was damaged during birth. So all the work I put into it was worthless. Same with every other service. I also thought about flying, but I can't even pass the medical for a pilot licence. The "there's a will, there's a way" mentality is completely useless to me. Doesn't matter how hard I work for something or how determined I am. Having a disability means I'll never reach my dream so now I just don't see the point in trying to set a goal anymore.

The only people that complain are those unwilling to strengthen their body mentally AND physically. You’re not more “evolved” because you only value intellectual capacity or a sound moral compass to live by. A complete man trains both and strives to improve every aspect of his being because they’re all interconnected. I can already see you saying something stupid like “there’s more to being a man than being strong.” No shit, no one says otherwise, but that doesn’t dismiss strength as being one of the traits of a properly developed and well rounded male. An average male is stronger than an average female, so biologically alone it is considered a “manly” trait. Not that complicated. Don’t read so much into the op’s comment.

@@flyingtanks9313 That's true. That's the problem with comparisons and averages. What is "normal" anyway? Everyone is different. In my original post I only wanted to express how impressive it is to me what these guys do. To give some perspective: I did the +26kg at age 41 after one year of *very* specific pull-up training (bodyweight 79kg) and after weekly climbing for like 7 years. Without that specific kind of training, climbing and doing some pull ups infrequently I can do +10-15kg (age 46 now). Rule #1: DCY (Don't compare yourself)

My max pull up was 60kg and I just do bw exercises to stay fit. I dont see why any average young guy couldnt do 40kg with some training

@@AB-su7jt I believe there is a simple answer to that. Everybody is genetically different. Even arm length/ span makes a huge difference on pull ups. I think there simply are no "everybody should be able to..." values. To give you an example: Someone weighing 80kg with long arms without much body fat will have a hard time adding +40kg compared to someone weighing 65kg (same body fat percentage) and short arms. The 80kg guy must pull 80+40=120kg over say 70cm=28 inches while the 65kg guy must pull 65+40=105kg over say 55cm=20 inches. Thats a difference of factor 1.45 of total work both have to do. That is huge. To compare the 65kg to the 80kg guy, the 65kg guy would have to pull bodyweight plus 88kg to achieve the same amount of "pulling work" as the 80kg guy plus 40kg. Rule #1 for success: Don't compare yourself.

Fascinating to see two individuals display similar outward physiological cues and be able to tie them to the cognitive side of things. The soldier's battle to quiet everything but the mussel groups being directly used in the task, resisting the urge to run knowing it is a short time from that to collapse. Also the difference of the shouting of encouragement and how it was actually a distraction from his mental quiet required to maintain his conservation of energy.

I have worked out hard for 33 years...I train 5 days a week ...weights, endurance ,and running uphill..trained through sickness, lack of sleep etc etc... I'm 48 now and still am in better shape than all the 20 and 30 year olds I see at all the various gyms and athletic spots...with all that being said ...I would enter a test like this with a real fear of failure...I give a huge amount of respect to someone who tries this test like you did...I also give a huge amount of respect to service members who can do this test. I have learned that no matter what kind of shape I am in there are some people who are just physical marvels. I have wanted to try the military tests just to see where I'm at, but I think I would be humbled if I was able to try...the endurance portions etc are mentally taxing. I just want to give my respect to these guys
