Yeah I don't want to hear from some idiot who came to a marathon with a bottle of water and bag of crackers. I certainly don't need to learn to face down advercial things. I got my international financier of cocaine trafficking 6 foot 220 pound father to permanently stop viciously beating my 5 year old brother for pooping in his pants, when I was 8 - I remember standing in the doorway of the bathroom and telling him, "You have to go through me first!" and fully meaning that. My brother has legitimate bowel problems going back to right when he was born, and expected to die of his bowel problems, in ICU - nobody's shit smells as bad as his.
Problem is, that if you will live by this way for a long time, you will destroy your reserves. You will end up in long period, when you will feel tired and exhaused and you will not be capable of anything. Handle your vital force wisely, it is not indestructible.
So, when you think that you have watched all the RUclips videos that you can possibly watch for the day, what this really means is that you are only 40% of your way to the real limit.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky well it would be great if this applied to content that im interested ( im just consuming my abos vids ) Its less the time (for me atleast) rather then the content thats missing
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky You are probably trying to be a pedant but if your life depended on it, you would muster up 60 % of watching or even more to save your life or someone you care about.
I came to the same conclusion as a high school wrestler. It was a great lesson mentally, but now I'm living with permenant injuries because I always thought I could push a little harder. Pain isn't always weakness leaving the body, sometimes it's your mind telling you that something is really, really wrong. There are situations where quitting is the smartest and bravest thing you can do. You've got to learn to tell the difference or you're not doing yourself any favors.
Exactly! Been a daily weight-lifter / runner / etc. all my life. In my mid-50s now, I know one thing from countless repetition: ignoring pain fosters injury, and injury reduces workouts. Culturally, we exalt extremes way too much. BALANCE is the best path to a complete, happy and long life.
HS Wrestling Season starts two weeks from now. Everyday I wake up thinking there's someone faster and stronger and how I could push myself. Its only going to be my second year but I'm going to push. Cause in reality we're all 40% done.
I spent 20 years in the Air Force where every 6 months I had to run 1.5 miles within a certain time. I practiced running 2 miles, so I knew I I could do the run. My colleagues would run 10 miles or 15 miles to prepare for the run. I left the Air Force with both knees intact, while many colleagues had to get knee surgery or knee replacements. In life, there is a “stupidity rule.”
@@richardohara6698 why waste more energy to do way more than what you're required? Unless doing more would actually benefit you or others, its pointless if it won't change anything lol Also, you can be fit without fucking yourself up over time either.
Agree, there's definetely a balance between "bare minimum attitude" and overdoing it to the point it's stupid. We praise and feel inspired by people who climb the Everest, but tend to forget that people die every year trying to climb it.
hawaiidispenser I get what you mean, that's true for the normal average joe, but people like seal are pushed beyond that point regardless of the cost. There should be a clear distinction between the two.
+Loki Definitely. I think you could seriously hurt yourself if you are going from being able to do 8 pullups to forcing yourself to do 100 in one sitting.
+Loki Fair enough; there needs to be a smart decision making element to this to know WHEN you should override your brain's 40% limitation. But this video seem to be addressing more the "can I do it" portion, rather than the "should I do it".
+hawaiidispenser The mentality displayed here is appealing to me, but I have gone through injury exactly because of it. About a year ago, I did exactly the same thing with pullups that is being described here. I did pullups until failure, and then I continually rested for a little while and did just one more; again and again. It's uncanny how similar this situation is to what I did. The end result though, was quite different for me: golfer's elbow and severe pain. Something inside went "pop" and a terribly unnatural feeling went through me. I knew I had hurt myself in a very stupid way. My body just wasn't at the point where it was ready to reach such levels. In the end, my progress was set back by about a year, and only now can I do pullups again somewhat comfortably. I have heard of other people requiring *years* to heal... I feel fortunate, and I will take this lesson to heart. I'll go ahead and take Special Forces' mentality of "crawl, walk, run" instead, as Major Joe Martin suggests. in his book _Get Selected_.
+Zedek That sucks. I've been injured many times too in weightlifting and know how one bad move can set you back for weeks or months (rotator cuffs, elbows, lower back pain, for me). Especially as you get older. Definitely have to use discretion and not just blindly abuse your body every time.
Bang Tell that to my knee I fucked up when I was young. I still have a limp. Or the tendon in my big toe after a 12 inch glass pot lid gillotined just behind the nail. I cant even get half the range I used to from it. Tell that to my eyes that worsen every day. I can go on but I think my point is made.
your choice. Shattered spine , dead 15 minute declared quadriplegic at trauma center top surgeons wanting to amputate my arm etc. Refused to give legal permission for arm, told even if spine not severed still never walk again or stand again. First experience walking was dragging myself across a room till I got to the other wall with the one arm not destroyed. about two hours to do it. Today I run mountain bike swim and practice yoga. It is in your head Seraphim a lot more than you think. Oh yeah work as a tree climber too. Go further.
While the human body is amazing and can overcome many things, there ARE limits where you can't go back. I spent 8 years in a wheelchair, much of that time bed ridden not even able to have sheets on my legs because of the unbearable pain rated on a pain scale as worse than the amputation of digits, childbirth, cancer, and phantom limb pain, and I now do physical labor on a daily basis and I'm studying to be a physical therapist. However for instance somebody actually does sever their spinal cord, no amount of positive thinking heals that. Permanent brain damage? Positive thinking doesn't undo it. Cancer doesn't go away because of hopes and dreams. There are always limits. The message isn't push yourself until you die, it's "you're at 40%, push it to 100%". Know where that 100% is. Stop there.
Maxing out on squats. Me: “Man I barely got 350” Seal: “That’s only 40%” *Continues to put another 525 lbs on bar* My spine: *L I T E R A L L Y S N A P S*
+Rene Bjørnskov Try new york steaks and strawberry shortcakes. Eat one steak and a shortcake, then repeat two more times. You are a Master of Pancake fitness mentality.
I found this video totally life changing. I used to drink 8 or 10 beers a night before I gave up and went to bed, but after watching this, I thought “no, man, you can do better”. So I mange to get down at least 15 a night, for over a year. Currently being treated for liver cirrhosis. Live the dream, man.
Are we ignoring the fact that this dude googled some dude he saw at a marathon, then called him asking if he would live with his family for a month. I would've called the cops
@@Anthroid9 the SEAL was said to have broken every small bone in his foot and sustained kidney damage. Did that elude you while you formulated your comment?
What makes you think that the SEAL wasn't in need of a place to recuperate and, that this guy wasn't proposing a win/win situation or something along the payriotic/charitable lines for an elite military Veteran that could be in desperate need?
I don't think this rule applies for working hours but more for physical activities that in the end are mental but if you work 8 hours a day and think that's your 40% : You are wrong my friend, be mindful of the machine that your are controlling 😅
I once overworked the muscles in my hand and arms scrubbing and washing a deck with a hand brush. (A couple weeks before I hand spent 10 hours of the day painting the backyard fence). I spent half a day scrubbing and clenching. I was tired and worn as hell, but I was too determined to stop. I ended up ruining the nerves in my arms for over a week. I couldn’t sleep for a week. I woke up one night and it felt like my hands were on fire. I stuck my hands in the ice trough in the freezer and it did nothing. The pain wouldn’t stop and I was in tears. I had to take muscle relaxers to calm them. Moral of the story....don’t go overkill and push too much past your limit. Listen to your body. It’s better to gradually push your body over time than to go gung-ho in one shot. Otherwise your body will end up having more issues in the long run. This video is inspiring but borderline foolish.
I don't think the quote is advocating that you burn out on your first try and damage yourself, more like just push a little further than you think you can
Idiot , he never told you to push your physical limits , he told you you to push your mental limits , watch the video again bro , he says , when your MIND thinks that your are done , not your BODY , a large amount of people give up mentally way before giving their best , and he said that you are only 40% done when your mind starts to give up
Matthew Dowling honey, I watched this man break both his feet and destroy his own kidneys. I think I want to invite him to crash at our place for a bit.
Zipf law. It is mathematical law. I learnt it was used for compression algorithm in winrar and winzip. Also if you learn data transfering protocol, some of the binary also compressed even in this youtube video. That is why audio in youtube cannot above threshold 20k frequency if Im not mistaken.
i think an important part is the "just a little bit more" mentality. now, i fucking hate running distances because, let's be honest, it sucks. in highschool i played lacrosse and we had to run 2 miles every day as a warmup, then had practice, then did sprints. one of the things that kept me going was that, when i was getting tired, i'd tell myself "comeon, just a little bit more. you can keep going to that tree" or "you can make it to the end of the block" and so on, and after i'd hit these mile markers, it was like i had forgotten about how shitty i had felt before them because i had made it. i gave myself time to celebrate the little victory of making it around the block and then, when i had lost that rush, i set my next milestone. i find myself using this same mentality with a lot of other things too. dont strive to improve yourself 100% overnight, because you'll just feel let-down and discouraged. however, if you can improve yourself by 10% or, hell, even 1% every day, you can celebrate that small victory and set the next milestone.
***** it's called motivation big guy. stop trying to act like you're some high-and-mighty supreme being. the trick isnt to trick myself, the trick is to re-release 5-HT, Dopamine, and adrenaline when i need it. it's a mindset to push myself harder. have fun being an edgy little fuck though. maybe you'd understand if you had ever trained for a sport
Eric Miesbauer No. On the contrary, my brain sees through the motivation because I lack the determination. I believe. I was being a bit insulting, I'll admit, hehe...but I was also being truthful about what happens with most people. That is, their mind sees through the 'fake' motivation. It's not the best-trick in the world.
"Months later, after I thanked SEAL for teaching me a new way of thinking about goals, he left my home. I realized that all of my fine china was missing, my wife was pregnant with his baby, and he had never served in the military. Let me tell you, that was not a good day boy howdy."
It's a shame to promote effort so much without talking about the limits of humans. There is such a thing as over-training, pushing your limits can get you hurt very easily. Like that guy apparently was, and you don't want that for your health. If you hit a wall at 40 % it's for a reason, after that your chances of getting hurt is significantly higher. With proper training, stretching, you can push after 40 %, relatively safely. However there is a point where you MUST know to stop. I'd say 70 or 80 % for an athlete's training, probably 45 % for anyone untrained in the sport or movement he/she is doing. Your body CAN do it, but it doesn't mean it SHOULD do it. You might feel like a bad-ass but you'll just feel bad after.
+Kavryel You know, I'm glad you made this comment. The mentality displayed here is appealing to me, but I have gone through injury exactly because of it.

+Kavryel But for a SEAL, being able to push yourself, even getting hurt while doing it can mean saving your or somebody else's life, that is why it is important.
+Tyler Durden That's very true Tyler. Plus, I don't think the message the speaker wanted us to take from this video was to push yourself if you want something, even if you can get hurt. It was just sort of a means to let us catch a glimpse of what SEALS have to go through, and how they can achieve their seemingly impossible goals. He left it open to how we choose to use our hidden potential, which is good.
+Kavryel Consider what a SEAL does to earn him that moniker. For him, failure is death. A SEAL's mistakes have gravestones. He knows survival and that he can heal. It's not healthy, but it get's th job done. More importantly, the mentality is more about working past entitlement which is a crippling mind set in America.
I ordered ten third-pound burgers, on burger four I began to vomit - but I knew that I was only 40% done. (Edit: 3 years later, I don't even remember writing this comment, but yeah mental barriers are usually illusions and you can accomplish more than you realize - and that's a fact)
I just watched CHUBBYEMU's scary medical video on how a kid died of organ failure after forcing himself into doing too many squats, now I come across this 40% thing...I just don't know what the hell to think anymore
Simple, they said you CAN do it, but they never mentioned what repercussions it may cause. For example, take the guys kidney failure and broken bones as a hint. Something can be said about pushing past your perceived limits, but they are also there for a reason, so do it with caution.
your body is wise, do what your body tells you to do if you are tired, you should stop and rest if your arms hurts, stop lifting weights i didn't stop lifting when my arms where tired, so i ended up in hospital with rhabdomyolysis, if i didn't go to urgent care i could have ended up with kidney failure
Man , do you not understand what he said , he said when our mind thinks that we are done , not our body , meaning that when you mentally give up ,you can’t give your best , I used to be an athlete and I can tell you that I’ve mentally given up a large amount of times even though I could have won if I simply pushed a little harder
+brod2man I have 2500+ LoL games, and have to this day not pressed the surrender button, not once. If you think I'm "wasting people's time", you should take a hard look in the mirror. You just said you considered *a game* a waste of time if you are not winning.
+Tobias Hagström In boot camp or Infantry school (can't remember which one) the instructors would say to us "when you want to quit, you have only hit 10% of your physical capabilities"!
@@certifiedredditgenius I think when Goggins first was serious about the joining the military he was around 300 lb. I would say he is about 180 lb. now.
" hey bro, i was thinkin....come live with me and my wife. we can lift weights together. we can push ourselves through some uncomfortable situations..."
When you think you're done, you're not. Finish that last piece of cake even tho your belly is about to burst. When you think you're done, you're. Sleep in 2 more hours even tho you aren't even tired. When you think you're done, you're not. Watch those last 8 episodes even tho it's already 3 a.m. I believe in you, and you should too. Never. Give. Up.
I heard a different perspective from some marital arts guy (forgot the name): if your push-ups limit is ten, do six. Tomorrow you're not gonna be tired, so do another six. Repeat for a weak, and you did 42 push-ups. Now, imagine you did 10 the first day. Next day everything hurts, and you have to skip. You'll end up doing push-ups two or three times that week, it's 20-30 push-ups. So not only you did less, you also suffered from muscle pain most of your week. If it still sounds like a better way to train, I don't know what to tell you.
That is such a good idea 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Better to go for long term gains than short term improvements. Even Tour de France coaches go for 1% daily improvement (364% over a year... Great gym trainers always say better to do 6 quality reps than 60 cr*p ones... As a severely 50yr old NeuroD person trying to escape a lifetime of too high expectations, I'm gonna try running with that idea for definite. Thank you.
"Broken all the small bones in both of his feet". Lets assume he broke ALL the bones in his feet. A human foot has 26 bones, lets assume he had 2 foot, that makes it 52 bones. An adult human has 206 bones, that's approximately 25% of his total skeleton, and a whole human body isn't composed of a skeleton only. So it's safe to assume that he didn't cross that 40% limit, quite far actually :P
Agree, but he may have been 40% done but that was quite some time before the finish of the race. That if I understand the story correctly, he had to finish to qualify the Badwater 135 ultra marathon. The moral of the story is that you need to be properly trained to do ultra marathons. Otherwise, it is just plain stupid.
I like how you assume that I have to be fat because of what I said. A friend of mine recently ran a 100 mile race, but with proper training and diet, so they didn't shatter the small bones in their feet and ruin their kidneys along the way. Myself, I train 5 days a week, run marathons and do the occasional triathlon, but that doesn't mean I endorse a mentality of "do as much heavy exercise as you possibly can while completely ignoring the signals your body's sending you". That's just stupid.
Sir Psycho Sexy you think anyone is actually going to believe you do those unless you have made a name for yourself and have a wiki page you haven't got any proof
599M Views That's entirely what it's about. Of course the guy was 'capable' of 100 extra pushups, but it was at the risk of injury which the seal learned a lesson about during his little jog.
It basically means that if you quit when things first begin to get tough, then you are going to quit when it comes to everything else in your life. When he said the part about breaking the bones in his feet, he meant that the SEAL was so used to this mentality that it wasn't causing him pain, he could tolerate everything he was doing.
He's talking about David Goggins. Well worth watching more videos of him for motivation. There's also two great Joe Rogan podcasts with each of these guys talking about their experiences
LOL for sure. Have cousin who talks like this but for sure is NOT gay. A few of us really wondered for awhile, but after 20 years of marriage and 4 kids I guess he's just a funny talker. Of course we'd love him either way though. Best Wishes n Blessings Keith
I thought the same. I think Goggins used to be into weights a lot more before he started running I believe he tells the story on Rogan? If memory serves me correctly he actually did a heavy weights session the evening before this run..
Yep the kind of long-term-consequence thinking guy i'd love to have living with me and being around my wife while I'm out of the house doing some errands...
The more you know... "After several of his friends died in Afghanistan in a helicopter crash in 2005 during Operation Red Wings,[14] Goggins began long-distance running with the aim of raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which gives college scholarships and grants to the children of fallen special operations soldiers.[15] To date it is estimated that Goggins has raised over $2 million for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Goggins
Where does it say that Seals are "role models"? This is a real-life warrior, not Justin Fucking Beiber. What? HAD to find something negative to say and that's what you came up with?
That pull up story is bullshit. After reaching your peak you can't just regenerate muscle tissue and energy instantly especially while you're hanging from the bar the whole time. The only way I could see that KIND OF be a possibility is if someone lit a fire under his ass while he did it. The adrenaline rush alone would probably give him 1-2 more at MOST.
Just to clear this up, the pull up story isn't bullshit. He never said he was hanging from the bar firstly. Secondly, your ATP-PC (to put simply your fast, explosive energy) system does restore very quickly but won't provide long term energy. It won't let him repeatedly do sets of eight or 10, but one pull up then 30 seconds rest, then one more pull up? No problem. Try it yourself.
Thing is you will end up ripping your muscles apart, you may have the energy for it but structual fatigue takes its toll. Thing is once a month this isnt an issue. Do this weekly or daily and you are setting yourself up for permanent damage, tendinitis. etc. Its a way to train the will, just dont train your will beyond what is healthy for you. Slow and steady progression means peaking later, but that peak lasts longer and wont leave you with injuries ad you will fall less from your peak.
MsMi321 That's only if you try to do it all at once. You can do 100 pushups in an hour, or 100 all at once. Guess which one isn't going to tear your muscles up? Your body recovers very quickly when doing things over a long period of time.
Terra Estrahl thing is, 100 push ups and lets say you can only do 10. No matter how long you take to do those push ups it will destroy your musvles, less than doing them all at once. but still the damage is dealt. This is what stractual fatigue is, that if I take say a thin metal straw and bend it enough times, NOTE the amount is important here not the intensity, then the straw will eventually break. Our muscles are made of collagen fibers, and thin and thick fillaments namely myosin and actin. These bands exert tremendous amounts of force on each other when they contract aka the power stroke (Where myosin grabs the actin and pulls the Z lines towards each other ZZline being the ends of the sarcomere or for simplicities sake lets call it the mechanical unit). Contracting them too many times over a period of time where there is relatively constant exertion wil lead to tears, breakage and is in general just classified as overusage. But as I said doing this once a month is fine, as your body has 29 more days to recover as well as develop from this. Our bodies do not really recover directly after excercise, we do most of our recovery during sleep, hence why many athletes must get enough sleep in order to function at any sort of competetive level. As melatonin is released and the body begins its essentially ritualistic repair cycle. AKA: Medically speaking this advice of goign so far above your max that its going to ruin you for the day or even week is bad advice if done daily. One should be able to do at least half of their goal for this sort of exersion to at least be able to recover in time to get back to normal training without causing injury if they are going to apply this. ALSO NOTE: there seems to be this utter musconception that training hard and suffering is a good thing when in fact the body needs to slowly adjust to whats happening. The slower the adjustment often times it seems the beter, as the body then is able to handle the load much more effectively as all necessary adaptations have occured as well as the fact that the person is used to the load being exertedon their mind, body and nervous system. (Yes this system is also at risk in overexertion)
Couch sitting requires far more mental fortitude that running a marathon. In a marathon you just follow the crowd, and there is a defined, tangible goal in sight. Couch sitting is a long, lonely vigil, that continues in perpetuity with no end in sight. Most people cramp up and have to get up and move around within the first few days. Quitters. Meanwhile, the truly committed even bring several large, empty bottles to extend their duration.
Yes, let’s take life advice from a dude who came unprepared for a race, broke all the small bones in his feet, and damaged his kidneys. Makes sense to me.
See, this makes sense on another level. Having a part of your brain kick in once you've used 40% of your total is actually important. Think about a persons condition after finishing a marathon, they've pushed themselves all the way to empty and it will take time after that for the body to repair. You don't want to run a marathon every single day, so for regular day-to-day activity it's probably important to keep it under 40%, which is why our brains say 'NO NO!' when you hit that threshold.
His analogy to marathon running was also a ridiculous failure of arithmetic. If you're hitting the wall somewhere between mile 16 and 20 of a marathon, then you're already 60-75% done. So that "extra fifty or sixty percent or whatever the number is" is actually an extra 25-40%.
Another rule that is helpful: Things are complicated. For instance, you can really push yourself and achieve remarkable things. You can also find out 15 years later that you've ground most of the cartilage off your knees in the process.
As impressive as it is to run a 100 miler with broken bones in your food, at the same time it is damm stupid. There's nothing wrong with testing your limits, but even for elite runners the number1 rule is: stay healthy, don't get injured.
Duckman1616 The fact that he pushed himself so much to the point where he didn't stop even though he broke bones in his body. That's amazing and it inspired him because he wanted to do much more with his life and push himself.
Gary Carmine That guy who got his arm stuck between a cave wall and a bolder, who had to break his arm and then cut it off with a small knife, pushed himself in a way that was indeed inspiring. However what the guy this video talks about did is more akin to cutting your own arm off just because you can. That's not inspiring, it's insane.
He didn't wake up one day and intentionally break his bones. Breaking his bones were a result of the sport he was playing. The fact that he kept playing a sport after unintentionally breaking bones is impressive. I swear your brain is telling you to give up when you only understand about 40% of what he is talking about.
Eric Staples No, it's stupid. When you get injured, you get help, you don't ignore it and do further damage to your body. And if you do, you're not someone I want to take advice from.
So many things wrong with this video and and it's quite annoying that it's misleading and misinforming so many people on the level of mental/physical fortitude SEALs and the particular SEAL Jesse is talking about display. So let this be the comment that ends all stupid comments. First of all, the man Jesse is referring to in the video as "seal" is Navy SEAL David Goggins. He is a civilian now and was a civilian at the time this video was released, so it really doesn't make much sense at to why he keeps referring to him as "seal". It's not only misleading but quite annoying. Second, the race that Jesse and David ran in where he broke the bones in his feet/had kidney failure was a 100 mile race; a race that is intended to be broken up by multiple people. David ran the entire race by himself. This is why he experienced some adverse effects. Third, to those of you saying David is "stupid" for not listening to his body when he had kidney failure and broke the bones in his feet, this is EXACTLY what's supposed to happen in these type of races (also known as "ultramarathons"). Many of you have also stated that David will have "permanent health problems" following this and this makes him stupid, when this couldn't be farther from the truth. Kidney failure (despite what it sounds like) is something that heals relatively quickly (if treated correctly) and does not leave permanent effects. Fourth, to those of you questioning David's credibility and saying that he's "stupid" and "doesn't know what he's talking about" since he split his kidney in a race, David has been running ultramarathons for 10+ years, was a Navy SEAL, runs 100+ miles a week, and has written multiple award-winning books on running, endurance, nutrition, etc. The fact that you think you know more than him (considering he is practically the father of ultra long distance running) is absolutely laughable. It's like a 9 year old who just watched Bill Nye for the first time lecturing a 65 year old Harvard professor who's focus is general relativity on why the Earth is flat.
Last year I ran 13.5 miles without training and without taking a brake at a pretty high altitude. I've never done it before. It took me 2 1/2 hrs to get back to the starting point. Consequently I tore my lcl ligaments and had bad plantar faciitis on both legs. I was in a lot of pain. I took 3 days off work to see if my legs got better but they didn't. After my 3 days off I went straight to work. My task at work was to load and install pine trees at rich folks properties in Vail, CO. Moral of the story is that no matter how strong your mind is you still need to listen to your body bc it has a braking point. Btw I recovered two months later without seeing a Doctor or a Physical therapist. I diagnosed myself and did therapy on my own with a little bit of meditation as well.
The event was a one mile loop that you keep running for 24 hours. And try to get 100 miles. You can have your own aid station. They had a tent with a massage table and a masseuse. That sounds like a good idea. My own private live-in masseuse. Hot n sexy too.
"At the end of the race I googled him" you hadn't talked to him yet knew his name. Then you invited him to live with you over the Internet? I'm calling bullshit
Jake Smith he went and met with him, after talking to him, he asked if he could come live with him (and I'm sure there was more conversation) and I'm sure he asked him his name after the race
An hour in total As a training regime i did 100 push-up and next day 100 pull-up. The first time it took me an hour for the push ups and 30min for the pull-up. Now i can do both in under 20min, but i do more than 30sec rest. Tried a set a few times, if you like pain, go for it.
I too met 'SEAL' at a 100 mile run. I thought "I've never seen anything like it" as well. By mile 70 he weighed about 130lbs. I decided to take inspiration from him, I kept on running. I broke all my toes, they fell off. Next my feet fell away. I knew I had lost 40% of my body, So I carried on. I lost my legs due to the constant friction, and then I was using my hands to finish the run, which wore them down to stubs. I too was now a SEAL. I barked my success cry, and cold called my SEAL friend. I asked him what made him tick and various buckets of fish were thrown at me. Now I live with SEAL under the sea, and we only do the 1,500 swim, we realised that running probably isn't best suited to us.
This is pretty much my reaction to this video. What kind of jackwagon fucks himself up just for the sake of it? It's contrary to the very reason we hold that extra back-- you'll really wish you had it when you need it.
So the smart-ass in me wants to tell you that drinking hard liquor abd having a great night out is pretty inspirational. The other half of me feels compelled to tell you that if you don't feel that finding out more about yourself and your boundaries is even remotely interesting, then you're even more a waste of space than I am.
You don't have to demolish yourself in pursuit of limitations or self-discovery. Can it be done painlessly? No. Are you going to get hurt? Probably. Should you incur injuries that might put you out of work for something as mundane as a race? Well.... that's the GoPro generation.
+gallowsgradient It has nothing to do with the GoPro camera, people have been doing this for centuries for recognition, fame, status, and most importantly of all to find self worth. Tell that to every amateur sports athlete that puts their body on the line for no money at all. They'd come up with a better, more exhaustive list.
Was a joke. Anyway, the point was that any truth a person learns by putting themselves at risk for nothing is trite-- and trivial. Just because people do it doesn't mean it's not dumb.
So many people focus on the small stuff... That's why the SEALs' training is considered by many people 90% mental. Also, having the ability to continue after the brain tells you that it's done, is pretty unique that most narrow minded people in this comment section will disagree.
I think that most healthy young men are capable of doing the physical part of the SEALs work. But it's the mental part that breaks most people down. The fear and hopelessness. You have to be almost crazy to do what these special forces do. And some people do get crazy AKA PTSD from battle.
Tf? Goggins is literally god's way of giving us normies hope. He was the definition of normal until he changed how he was living. Jesus man, wtf do you watch when you see him. He does nothing but talk about how ANY of us could do what he did.
goggins was below normal when he committed to doing everything he's known for, and I bet he is way more satisfied with life now than he would be it he didn't do nothing. stop putting a cheap price on yourselves. try, then fail and do it again, for god's sake.
@@reitairue2073 "he was the definition of normal"?? Ofc he was, when i said " God's way of trolling us normal peeps" i meant exactly this that this normal dude who was a good for nothing fat piece of crap(he has said so himself, now don't start yapping about this too) just changed his life around through sheer hard work and discipline. I am just amazed by the sheer number of easily butthurt people there are on the internet who can't even understand a simple joke and just start preaching for no reason. Tf you doing reading a youtube video's comment section, go watch some cartoons.
Definitely a wise thing to do. Invite a trained killing machine who ran until his bones broke and organs started to fail,, for no apparent fucking reason, to come and live with his wife and baby son. Parent of the year right there, yeah.
Good point, I live in Phoenix and people like "SEAL" die in our mountains every week here because they bring a 20 oz bottle of water on a triple digit hike and die.
lol...I love Internet "skeptics". I'm not going to post my details here, but where I come from a place where serving in the military is mandatory. I have several close friends who served in special forces. In the trials, some fractured legs/hands and still went on. The fact you are spoilt brats who grow-up in the biggest kindergarten in the world, does not turn you into a "skeptic", just a fucking idiot with a worthless opinion.
+Oplinta Moshtak I'm the first to glorify the achievements of the mind, but we must never forget that it is altogether a product of matter. "Mind-over-matter" stops at the lasted when a bullet penetrates your brains.
"We have so much more in our reserve tank than we think we did." It is a double edged sword. I have pushed and ended with injury. It's hits and misses. A lot of me thinks it's about being able to accept and live with the decision, and of course, this comes after lessons of suffering.
People do not listen to these simplistic life advice. I pushed my self far more than I ever thought I could. Breaking the produce load 3AM to 11AM, 12 pallets 32°F for a year and a half. I ignored the pain. I lifted properly. I worked sick and sore not a day off. Had a baby boy and another one on the way. Now I have to face severe pain in my back for the rest of my life. Life can not be built on a few simple advice. There is no simple solution. Moderation is the key.
Precisely. If you want to live a healthy life, you listen to your body. Something that is a minor health issue, like back pain or numb hands will grow into nasty things, unless you take care and adapt your working habits.
I used to be an Army ROTC instructor and at 40 years old could out PT and outrun most of the 100 college cadets we had. There is no way I should physical be able to do that. I would tell the cadets this and impart upon them that the only thing that separates what I can do physically from what they can do is my mental capacity. The military does a better job than any other organization in pushing and showing ppl that they can accomplish more than they believe they can accomplish both mentally and physically.
40 can easily outrun young kids. running builds up over time. eventually the neuromuscular system becomes so efficient that getting older barely means a decline. 40 years old is just barely past running prime, and you certainly shouldn't have "fallen off" yet. On the other hand, most young guys have only been running a few years if at all.
That's great motivation for someone fighting for their life as a SEAL in a foreign country, but you can only live so long with that way of life. Your body and mind have limits. That's one reason why a Seal's tenure is relatively short.

Yeah I don't want to hear from some idiot who came to a marathon with a bottle of water and bag of crackers. I certainly don't need to learn to face down advercial things. I got my international financier of cocaine trafficking 6 foot 220 pound father to permanently stop viciously beating my 5 year old brother for pooping in his pants, when I was 8 - I remember standing in the doorway of the bathroom and telling him, "You have to go through me first!" and fully meaning that. My brother has legitimate bowel problems going back to right when he was born, and expected to die of his bowel problems, in ICU - nobody's shit smells as bad as his.
Problem is, that if you will live by this way for a long time, you will destroy your reserves. You will end up in long period, when you will feel tired and exhaused and you will not be capable of anything. Handle your vital force wisely, it is not indestructible.

I came to the same conclusion as a high school wrestler. It was a great lesson mentally, but now I'm living with permenant injuries because I always thought I could push a little harder. Pain isn't always weakness leaving the body, sometimes it's your mind telling you that something is really, really wrong. There are situations where quitting is the smartest and bravest thing you can do. You've got to learn to tell the difference or you're not doing yourself any favors.
That's where you have to learn the difference between exhaustion and real physical pain due to injury
Exactly! Been a daily weight-lifter / runner / etc. all my life. In my mid-50s now, I know one thing from countless repetition: ignoring pain fosters injury, and injury reduces workouts. Culturally, we exalt extremes way too much. BALANCE is the best path to a complete, happy and long life.
Lauren Yee same here. Lifted weights for years and ground my joints to dust. I should have just done 40% of what I did.
Rafael Soto Exhaustion is also bad if it continues for a long enough time. People need recovery and you absolutely can overtrain.
HS Wrestling Season starts two weeks from now. Everyday I wake up thinking there's someone faster and stronger and how I could push myself. Its only going to be my second year but I'm going to push. Cause in reality we're all 40% done.
If you aren't sustaining kidney damage... You're just not trying.

I spent 20 years in the Air Force where every 6 months I had to run 1.5 miles within a certain time. I practiced running 2 miles, so I knew I I could do the run. My colleagues would run 10 miles or 15 miles to prepare for the run. I left the Air Force with both knees intact, while many colleagues had to get knee surgery or knee replacements. In life, there is a “stupidity rule.”

That mental barrier is normally there as your brain is protecting you from harm, yes it can be overcome but depends on the cost.
hawaiidispenser
I get what you mean, that's true for the normal average joe, but people like seal are pushed beyond that point regardless of the cost. There should be a clear distinction between the two.
+Loki Definitely. I think you could seriously hurt yourself if you are going from being able to do 8 pullups to forcing yourself to do 100 in one sitting.
+Loki Fair enough; there needs to be a smart decision making element to this to know WHEN you should override your brain's 40% limitation. But this video seem to be addressing more the "can I do it" portion, rather than the "should I do it".
+hawaiidispenser
The mentality displayed here is appealing to me, but I have gone through injury exactly because of it. About a year ago, I did exactly the same thing with pullups that is being described here. I did pullups until failure, and then I continually rested for a little while and did just one more; again and again. It's uncanny how similar this situation is to what I did.
The end result though, was quite different for me: golfer's elbow and severe pain. Something inside went "pop" and a terribly unnatural feeling went through me. I knew I had hurt myself in a very stupid way. My body just wasn't at the point where it was ready to reach such levels. In the end, my progress was set back by about a year, and only now can I do pullups again somewhat comfortably. I have heard of other people requiring *years* to heal... I feel fortunate, and I will take this lesson to heart.
I'll go ahead and take Special Forces' mentality of "crawl, walk, run" instead, as Major Joe Martin suggests. in his book _Get Selected_.
+Zedek That sucks. I've been injured many times too in weightlifting and know how one bad move can set you back for weeks or months (rotator cuffs, elbows, lower back pain, for me). Especially as you get older. Definitely have to use discretion and not just blindly abuse your body every time.
When your back breaks and your head falls off, you're only 40% done.

I cant even get half the range I used to from it. Tell that to my eyes that worsen every day. I can go on but I think my point is made.
there's a reason why your body wants to stop
your choice. Shattered spine , dead 15 minute declared quadriplegic at trauma center top surgeons wanting to amputate my arm etc. Refused to give legal permission for arm, told even if spine not severed still never walk again or stand again. First experience walking was dragging myself across a room till I got to the other wall with the one arm not destroyed. about two hours to do it. Today I run mountain bike swim and practice yoga. It is in your head Seraphim a lot more than you think. Oh yeah work as a tree climber too. Go further.
While the human body is amazing and can overcome many things, there ARE limits where you can't go back. I spent 8 years in a wheelchair, much of that time bed ridden not even able to have sheets on my legs because of the unbearable pain rated on a pain scale as worse than the amputation of digits, childbirth, cancer, and phantom limb pain, and I now do physical labor on a daily basis and I'm studying to be a physical therapist. However for instance somebody actually does sever their spinal cord, no amount of positive thinking heals that. Permanent brain damage? Positive thinking doesn't undo it. Cancer doesn't go away because of hopes and dreams. There are always limits. The message isn't push yourself until you die, it's "you're at 40%, push it to 100%". Know where that 100% is. Stop there.
You are probably just as unmotivated in all areas of your. life.

I spent half a day scrubbing and clenching. I was tired and worn as hell, but I was too determined to stop. I ended up ruining the nerves in my arms for over a week. I couldn’t sleep for a week. I woke up one night and it felt like my hands were on fire. I stuck my hands in the ice trough in the freezer and it did nothing. The pain wouldn’t stop and I was in tears. I had to take muscle relaxers to calm them.
Moral of the story....don’t go overkill and push too much past your limit. Listen to your body. It’s better to gradually push your body over time than to go gung-ho in one shot. Otherwise your body will end up having more issues in the long run. This video is inspiring but borderline foolish.

mrninninnin how does one (decimal of fraction) ? i think i get what you mean though.
i think an important part is the "just a little bit more" mentality. now, i fucking hate running distances because, let's be honest, it sucks. in highschool i played lacrosse and we had to run 2 miles every day as a warmup, then had practice, then did sprints. one of the things that kept me going was that, when i was getting tired, i'd tell myself "comeon, just a little bit more. you can keep going to that tree" or "you can make it to the end of the block" and so on, and after i'd hit these mile markers, it was like i had forgotten about how shitty i had felt before them because i had made it. i gave myself time to celebrate the little victory of making it around the block and then, when i had lost that rush, i set my next milestone. i find myself using this same mentality with a lot of other things too. dont strive to improve yourself 100% overnight, because you'll just feel let-down and discouraged. however, if you can improve yourself by 10% or, hell, even 1% every day, you can celebrate that small victory and set the next milestone.

Eric Miesbauer No. On the contrary, my brain sees through the motivation because I lack the determination. I believe.

moyno85 it took me way too long to get that joke.
moyno85 , I'm sure he did, VERY OFTEN.
It's a shame to promote effort so much without talking about the limits of humans.
There is such a thing as over-training, pushing your limits can get you hurt very easily. Like that guy apparently was, and you don't want that for your health.
If you hit a wall at 40 % it's for a reason, after that your chances of getting hurt is significantly higher.
With proper training, stretching, you can push after 40 %, relatively safely. However there is a point where you MUST know to stop. I'd say 70 or 80 % for an athlete's training, probably 45 % for anyone untrained in the sport or movement he/she is doing.
Your body CAN do it, but it doesn't mean it SHOULD do it.
You might feel like a bad-ass but you'll just feel bad after.

Tyler Durden Sure, but you shoud decide wisely when to use that potential, ruining your feet for a race is a poor jugement the way i see it.
+Tyler Durden That's very true Tyler. Plus, I don't think the message the speaker wanted us to take from this video was to push yourself if you want something, even if you can get hurt. It was just sort of a means to let us catch a glimpse of what SEALS have to go through, and how they can achieve their seemingly impossible goals. He left it open to how we choose to use our hidden potential, which is good.
+Kavryel Consider what a SEAL does to earn him that moniker. For him, failure is death. A SEAL's mistakes have gravestones. He knows survival and that he can heal.
It's not healthy, but it get's th job done. More importantly, the mentality is more about working past entitlement which is a crippling mind set in America.

Simple, they said you CAN do it, but they never mentioned what repercussions it may cause. For example, take the guys kidney failure and broken bones as a hint. Something can be said about pushing past your perceived limits, but they are also there for a reason, so do it with caution.

if you are tired, you should stop and rest
if your arms hurts, stop lifting weights
i didn't stop lifting when my arms where tired, so i ended up in hospital with rhabdomyolysis, if i didn't go to urgent care i could have ended up with kidney failure
Man , do you not understand what he said , he said when our mind thinks that we are done , not our body , meaning that when you mentally give up ,you can’t give your best , I used to be an athlete and I can tell you that I’ve mentally given up a large amount of times even though I could have won if I simply pushed a little harder

For those wondering, the seals name was David Goggins. He has now became famous for his extreamly impressive running records.
I was just thinking, it has to be Goggins
260 though? There's no fricken way
Yes. Hes was fat and very sick once at the beginning of his journey. Google it. @@certifiedredditgenius
@@certifiedredditgenius I think when Goggins first was serious about the joining the military he was around 300 lb. I would say he is about 180 lb. now.
" hey bro, i was thinkin....come live with me and my wife. we can lift weights together. we can push ourselves through some uncomfortable situations..."

I heard a different perspective from some marital arts guy (forgot the name): if your push-ups limit is ten, do six. Tomorrow you're not gonna be tired, so do another six. Repeat for a weak, and you did 42 push-ups.
Now, imagine you did 10 the first day. Next day everything hurts, and you have to skip. You'll end up doing push-ups two or three times that week, it's 20-30 push-ups. So not only you did less, you also suffered from muscle pain most of your week. If it still sounds like a better way to train, I don't know what to tell you.
This dude be like if your limit is ten, do 15, with broken wrists.
That is such a good idea 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Better to go for long term gains than short term improvements. Even Tour de France coaches go for 1% daily improvement (364% over a year... Great gym trainers always say better to do 6 quality reps than 60 cr*p ones... As a severely 50yr old NeuroD person trying to escape a lifetime of too high expectations, I'm gonna try running with that idea for definite. Thank you.
Broken all the bones and had kidney damage? Sounds like his body was more than 40% done.
"Broken all the small bones in both of his feet". Lets assume he broke ALL the bones in his feet. A human foot has 26 bones, lets assume he had 2 foot, that makes it 52 bones. An adult human has 206 bones, that's approximately 25% of his total skeleton, and a whole human body isn't composed of a skeleton only. So it's safe to assume that he didn't cross that 40% limit, quite far actually :P
Lord Mostafa no it's not 25% of his skeleton it may be ~25% of his number of bones but not nearly the size of his skeleton
+Trash can you are just proving his point even more
Alex James I think I'd consider myself 100% done by the time my skull and spinal column were shattered. I must be weak.
Agree, but he may have been 40% done but that was quite some time before the finish of the race. That if I understand the story correctly, he had to finish to qualify the Badwater 135 ultra marathon.
The moral of the story is that you need to be properly trained to do ultra marathons. Otherwise, it is just plain stupid.
I predict about 40% of the people who follow this guy's advice will end up with chronic injuries from working out too hard.
I like how you assume that I have to be fat because of what I said. A friend of mine recently ran a 100 mile race, but with proper training and diet, so they didn't shatter the small bones in their feet and ruin their kidneys along the way. Myself, I train 5 days a week, run marathons and do the occasional triathlon, but that doesn't mean I endorse a mentality of "do as much heavy exercise as you possibly can while completely ignoring the signals your body's sending you". That's just stupid.
They do. Nobody talks about the physical therapy sessions they have to attend because they don't listen to their physical pain.
Sir Psycho Sexy you think anyone is actually going to believe you do those unless you have made a name for yourself and have a wiki page you haven't got any proof
Goggins admitted on joe roegan running 100 miles out of the blue caused him serious medical problems
Anatolian ahahahahaahaa ikr! Always that one nay sayer smh
Yeah, the seal broke every small bone in his feet, so this 40% rule clearly makes a lot of sense....
darkpill that's not what it's about and that's why you'll get no where in life
599M Views That's entirely what it's about. Of course the guy was 'capable' of 100 extra pushups, but it was at the risk of injury which the seal learned a lesson about during his little jog.
It basically means that if you quit when things first begin to get tough, then you are going to quit when it comes to everything else in your life. When he said the part about breaking the bones in his feet, he meant that the SEAL was so used to this mentality that it wasn't causing him pain, he could tolerate everything he was doing.
Dan Walsh No, he clearly said "the mind wants to quit at approx 40% of your ability" and that is complete horse shit.
darkpill then learn what for example sports is all about^^ its just overcoming barriers by training and the psychology is a big part of it
He's talking about David Goggins. Well worth watching more videos of him for motivation. There's also two great Joe Rogan podcasts with each of these guys talking about their experiences
SEAL's brain was telling him, "I'm 40% certain this guy is gay....I should live with him until I'm 100% certain".
LOL
Lol
Omg lol
LOL for sure. Have cousin who talks like this but for sure is NOT gay. A few of us really wondered for awhile, but after 20 years of marriage and 4 kids I guess he's just a funny talker. Of course we'd love him either way though. Best Wishes n Blessings Keith
+Keith Noneya Maybe he's just really terrified at the aspect of coming out.
I believe he's talking about David goggins
Not 260 pounds tho
it is him.
I thought the same. I think Goggins used to be into weights a lot more before he started running I believe he tells the story on Rogan? If memory serves me correctly he actually did a heavy weights session the evening before this run..
@@sethshirley1769 It 100% Goggins they have a few interviews together talking about it. He was 260 when he set the new pull up record he was jacked
it has to be him.
Broke all the bones in his feet. Got kidney damage? Yeah great role model. Love it.
You're only getting 40 percent of this story.
Yep the kind of long-term-consequence thinking guy i'd love to have living with me and being around my wife while I'm out of the house doing some errands...
The more you know...
"After several of his friends died in Afghanistan in a helicopter crash in 2005 during Operation Red Wings,[14] Goggins began long-distance running with the aim of raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which gives college scholarships and grants to the children of fallen special operations soldiers.[15]
To date it is estimated that Goggins has raised over $2 million for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation."

While that is actually very impressive. I wouldn't go so unprepared to a race that I cause myself kidney damage just for the challenge.
Where does it say that Seals are "role models"? This is a real-life warrior, not Justin Fucking Beiber. What? HAD to find something negative to say and that's what you came up with?

Telling his pull up story (8+6+3)/.40=42. Using the 40% rule, he should have done an additional 26 pull ups, not 100.
That pull up story is bullshit. After reaching your peak you can't just regenerate muscle tissue and energy instantly especially while you're hanging from the bar the whole time. The only way I could see that KIND OF be a possibility is if someone lit a fire under his ass while he did it. The adrenaline rush alone would probably give him 1-2 more at MOST.
Just to clear this up, the pull up story isn't bullshit. He never said he was hanging from the bar firstly. Secondly, your ATP-PC (to put simply your fast, explosive energy) system does restore very quickly but won't provide long term energy. It won't let him repeatedly do sets of eight or 10, but one pull up then 30 seconds rest, then one more pull up? No problem. Try it yourself.
Thing is you will end up ripping your muscles apart, you may have the energy for it but structual fatigue takes its toll. Thing is once a month this isnt an issue. Do this weekly or daily and you are setting yourself up for permanent damage, tendinitis. etc. Its a way to train the will, just dont train your will beyond what is healthy for you. Slow and steady progression means peaking later, but that peak lasts longer and wont leave you with injuries ad you will fall less from your peak.
MsMi321 That's only if you try to do it all at once. You can do 100 pushups in an hour, or 100 all at once. Guess which one isn't going to tear your muscles up? Your body recovers very quickly when doing things over a long period of time.
Terra Estrahl thing is, 100 push ups and lets say you can only do 10. No matter how long you take to do those push ups it will destroy your musvles, less than doing them all at once. but still the damage is dealt.
This is what stractual fatigue is, that if I take say a thin metal straw and bend it enough times, NOTE the amount is important here not the intensity, then the straw will eventually break.
Our muscles are made of collagen fibers, and thin and thick fillaments namely myosin and actin. These bands exert tremendous amounts of force on each other when they contract aka the power stroke (Where myosin grabs the actin and pulls the Z lines towards each other ZZline being the ends of the sarcomere or for simplicities sake lets call it the mechanical unit).
Contracting them too many times over a period of time where there is relatively constant exertion wil lead to tears, breakage and is in general just classified as overusage. But as I said doing this once a month is fine, as your body has 29 more days to recover as well as develop from this. Our bodies do not really recover directly after excercise, we do most of our recovery during sleep, hence why many athletes must get enough sleep in order to function at any sort of competetive level. As melatonin is released and the body begins its essentially ritualistic repair cycle.
AKA: Medically speaking this advice of goign so far above your max that its going to ruin you for the day or even week is bad advice if done daily. One should be able to do at least half of their goal for this sort of exersion to at least be able to recover in time to get back to normal training without causing injury if they are going to apply this.
ALSO NOTE: there seems to be this utter musconception that training hard and suffering is a good thing when in fact the body needs to slowly adjust to whats happening. The slower the adjustment often times it seems the beter, as the body then is able to handle the load much more effectively as all necessary adaptations have occured as well as the fact that the person is used to the load being exertedon their mind, body and nervous system. (Yes this system is also at risk in overexertion)
I sit on a couch for too long and I get super bored and I get off it. After seeing this I know I'm only 40% bored every time. Thanks! Great video!
Couch sitting requires far more mental fortitude that running a marathon. In a marathon you just follow the crowd, and there is a defined, tangible goal in sight. Couch sitting is a long, lonely vigil, that continues in perpetuity with no end in sight. Most people cramp up and have to get up and move around within the first few days. Quitters. Meanwhile, the truly committed even bring several large, empty bottles to extend their duration.
I quit a shitty job. At week five so far. Going strong. Can feel my 60 kicking in. Can do this forever.
You only quit 40% . Go back and do the other 60% of quitting

you gotta be crazy if you accept to live with a guy that has hair like that
I'm very familiar with this mindset my mind says "don't take another shot, you might throw up" but my will says "take the shot you are only 40% done"
"About 99 percent of the people who start marathons in the United States finish them. "
Where did those statistics come from, lol.
Yeah, lol. I really question the credibility of that statement.
It’s actually only 40%.
He meant 99% of the people in America who finish marathons
I think he is saying 99% who finish a marathon hit a WALL at mile 16 to 20 and their will power drives them to the finish line......... I think.....
Well, 73,6% of statistics are made up, so…

Stay hard!
@@phranque2781 that's what she said
See, this makes sense on another level. Having a part of your brain kick in once you've used 40% of your total is actually important. Think about a persons condition after finishing a marathon, they've pushed themselves all the way to empty and it will take time after that for the body to repair. You don't want to run a marathon every single day, so for regular day-to-day activity it's probably important to keep it under 40%, which is why our brains say 'NO NO!' when you hit that threshold.
But you can train your brain and body so it kicks in later, giving you better condition within the safety margin.
the trick is knowing when your body is more than 40% done. broken bones and kidney failure is your body's way of telling you to STOP
Strain Specific LTD. I think that means you should have stopped 60% of the way back.

Let's cut out the middle man; who is "SEAL"? ...never mind, I used my remaining 60% to figure out that his name is David Goggins.
Thanks!
Your post was at least 160% more useful than anything Itzler had to say. Thank you.
His analogy to marathon running alone was ridiculous.
His analogy to marathon running was also a ridiculous failure of arithmetic. If you're hitting the wall somewhere between mile 16 and 20 of a marathon, then you're already 60-75% done. So that "extra fifty or sixty percent or whatever the number is" is actually an extra 25-40%.
+beeble2003 well if your hitting the "wall" at mile 16 technically the maths is exactley right and you have %40 left?
But the video claims that when you hit the wall, you've only done 40% of what you're capable of doing, i.e., you still have 60% left.
Another rule that is helpful: Things are complicated. For instance, you can really push yourself and achieve remarkable things. You can also find out 15 years later that you've ground most of the cartilage off your knees in the process.
As impressive as it is to run a 100 miler with broken bones in your food, at the same time it is damm stupid.
There's nothing wrong with testing your limits, but even for elite runners the number1 rule is: stay healthy, don't get injured.
Is this guy seriously admiring a guy who voluntarily broke all the bones in his feet and did permanent kidney damage? What about that is inspiring?
Duckman1616 The fact that he pushed himself so much to the point where he didn't stop even though he broke bones in his body. That's amazing and it inspired him because he wanted to do much more with his life and push himself.
Gary Carmine Yep, pushing yourself to the point where you're breaking bones is definitely what everyone should do
Gary Carmine That guy who got his arm stuck between a cave wall and a bolder, who had to break his arm and then cut it off with a small knife, pushed himself in a way that was indeed inspiring. However what the guy this video talks about did is more akin to cutting your own arm off just because you can. That's not inspiring, it's insane.
He didn't wake up one day and intentionally break his bones. Breaking his bones were a result of the sport he was playing. The fact that he kept playing a sport after unintentionally breaking bones is impressive. I swear your brain is telling you to give up when you only understand about 40% of what he is talking about.
Eric Staples No, it's stupid. When you get injured, you get help, you don't ignore it and do further damage to your body. And if you do, you're not someone I want to take advice from.
So many things wrong with this video and and it's quite annoying that it's misleading and misinforming so many people on the level of mental/physical fortitude SEALs and the particular SEAL Jesse is talking about display. So let this be the comment that ends all stupid comments.
First of all, the man Jesse is referring to in the video as "seal" is Navy SEAL David Goggins. He is a civilian now and was a civilian at the time this video was released, so it really doesn't make much sense at to why he keeps referring to him as "seal". It's not only misleading but quite annoying.
Second, the race that Jesse and David ran in where he broke the bones in his feet/had kidney failure was a 100 mile race; a race that is intended to be broken up by multiple people. David ran the entire race by himself. This is why he experienced some adverse effects.
Third, to those of you saying David is "stupid" for not listening to his body when he had kidney failure and broke the bones in his feet, this is EXACTLY what's supposed to happen in these type of races (also known as "ultramarathons"). Many of you have also stated that David will have "permanent health problems" following this and this makes him stupid, when this couldn't be farther from the truth. Kidney failure (despite what it sounds like) is something that heals relatively quickly (if treated correctly) and does not leave permanent effects.
Fourth, to those of you questioning David's credibility and saying that he's "stupid" and "doesn't know what he's talking about" since he split his kidney in a race, David has been running ultramarathons for 10+ years, was a Navy SEAL, runs 100+ miles a week, and has written multiple award-winning books on running, endurance, nutrition, etc. The fact that you think you know more than him (considering he is practically the father of ultra long distance running) is absolutely laughable. It's like a 9 year old who just watched Bill Nye for the first time lecturing a 65 year old Harvard professor who's focus is general relativity on why the Earth is flat.
The best part about RUclips is the comments section .... this one by far is my favorite yet lmao ...
Indeed. I always read comments before I watch the video, its like a prologue! These are fucking gold.
Last year I ran 13.5 miles without training and without taking a brake at a pretty high altitude. I've never done it before. It took me 2 1/2 hrs to get back to the starting point. Consequently I tore my lcl ligaments and had bad plantar faciitis on both legs. I was in a lot of pain. I took 3 days off work to see if my legs got better but they didn't. After my 3 days off I went straight to work. My task at work was to load and install pine trees at rich folks properties in Vail, CO. Moral of the story is that no matter how strong your mind is you still need to listen to your body bc it has a braking point.
Btw I recovered two months later without seeing a Doctor or a Physical therapist. I diagnosed myself and did therapy on my own with a little bit of meditation as well.
How do you bring a masseuse with you during a marathon?
Step 1: Be rich
When you own a private jet company and are an owner of the Atlanta Hawks, you pretty much do whatever you want. Oh and his wife created/founded Spanx.
carry him on your back
TheLegend27 L O L !!!
The event was a one mile loop that you keep running for 24 hours. And try to get 100 miles. You can have your own aid station. They had a tent with a massage table and a masseuse.
That sounds like a good idea. My own private live-in masseuse. Hot n sexy too.
"At the end of the race I googled him" you hadn't talked to him yet knew his name. Then you invited him to live with you over the Internet? I'm calling bullshit
Jake Smith he went and met with him, after talking to him, he asked if he could come live with him (and I'm sure there was more conversation) and I'm sure he asked him his name after the race
shhh just be inspired
Revatron Prime lol yeah
I'm pretty sure the organizers of the race kept some kind of a score who finished in what place and what not...
its not bullshit. they were literally on a tvshow together talking about this
Wow so you broke all the little bones in your feet and now suffer from irreversible kidney damage? What a genius!
Yup and as a result he achieved a will power that made him 10 times more successful than you will probably ever be. No pain, no gain.
Eric Staples There's a HUGE difference between willpower and stupidity my friend.
and you know neither :O. you should watch more of these and be even more critical of success. yeahhh boi that will make you feel fulfilled
Jester411Gaming Yup, some people are judgmental of other people's success, so they don't have to admit that they themselves are underachievers.
Jester411Gaming I'm achieving success by going to college full time and working. Not by breaking all bones in my feet.
It would've been interesting to know roughly how long it took him to do the additional 100 pull ups.
If it was Goggins he's talking about, he was probably attempting that the next morning.
About three and a half injuries...
I think he is still doing to complete 100
An hour in total
As a training regime i did 100 push-up and next day 100 pull-up.
The first time it took me an hour for the push ups and 30min for the pull-up.
Now i can do both in under 20min, but i do more than 30sec rest.
Tried a set a few times, if you like pain, go for it.
@@ldorman actually i dislike pain
I too met 'SEAL' at a 100 mile run. I thought "I've never seen anything like it" as well. By mile 70 he weighed about 130lbs. I decided to take inspiration from him, I kept on running. I broke all my toes, they fell off. Next my feet fell away. I knew I had lost 40% of my body, So I carried on. I lost my legs due to the constant friction, and then I was using my hands to finish the run, which wore them down to stubs. I too was now a SEAL. I barked my success cry, and cold called my SEAL friend. I asked him what made him tick and various buckets of fish were thrown at me. Now I live with SEAL under the sea, and we only do the 1,500 swim, we realised that running probably isn't best suited to us.
Heh
why should I be inspired by kidney damage
This is pretty much my reaction to this video. What kind of jackwagon fucks himself up just for the sake of it? It's contrary to the very reason we hold that extra back-- you'll really wish you had it when you need it.
So the smart-ass in me wants to tell you that drinking hard liquor abd having a great night out is pretty inspirational. The other half of me feels compelled to tell you that if you don't feel that finding out more about yourself and your boundaries is even remotely interesting, then you're even more a waste of space than I am.
You don't have to demolish yourself in pursuit of limitations or self-discovery. Can it be done painlessly? No. Are you going to get hurt? Probably. Should you incur injuries that might put you out of work for something as mundane as a race? Well.... that's the GoPro generation.
+gallowsgradient It has nothing to do with the GoPro camera, people have been doing this for centuries for recognition, fame, status, and most importantly of all to find self worth. Tell that to every amateur sports athlete that puts their body on the line for no money at all. They'd come up with a better, more exhaustive list.
Was a joke. Anyway, the point was that any truth a person learns by putting themselves at risk for nothing is trite-- and trivial. Just because people do it doesn't mean it's not dumb.
Ironically my device is at 40%
I read your comment and thought wow.. what are the odds. Looked at my phone and im at 40%..... wut
It's coincidentally, not ironically.
Damn!! Mines too, such a coincidence!!
Notyourtypicalasian mines 42% so damn that’s also pretty fuckin weird
45% close enough
I saved this video to watch later 7 1/2 years ago and just finished it... never give up
So many people focus on the small stuff... That's why the SEALs' training is considered by many people 90% mental. Also, having the ability to continue after the brain tells you that it's done, is pretty unique that most narrow minded people in this comment section will disagree.
COOTER!!
You can't teach a pig to fly, it'll just get annoyed and go back to rolling in its own shit.
Mark Twain said something similar
the weak minded never got mind over matter
I think that most healthy young men are capable of doing the physical part of the SEALs work. But it's the mental part that breaks most people down. The fear and hopelessness. You have to be almost crazy to do what these special forces do. And some people do get crazy AKA PTSD from battle.
I thought I was done with this bag of cheetos, ate about 40% of it, but you know what? I will finish it. Thanks for the tip buddy.
WARNING: the 40% rule doesn't apply to dieting. I tried it, now I'm 450lbs.
You need to apply the other 60% so you can get down to 0 lbs.

I'd feel pretty safe having him around to protect me.
I'd rather have him as my father than a cynic like you, by miles
It's true. I've been to the military five years, worked with special operations. Dedication and mind-over-matter is a way of life to them.
No kidding. I did a deployment with a spec ops unit and those guys are a special breed. It was definitely the highlight of my career.
+DieselSafado dude do you really believe him? Have some sense...
lol...I love Internet "skeptics". I'm not going to post my details here, but where I come from a place where serving in the military is mandatory. I have several close friends who served in special forces. In the trials, some fractured legs/hands and still went on.
The fact you are spoilt brats who grow-up in the biggest kindergarten in the world, does not turn you into a "skeptic", just a fucking idiot with a worthless opinion.

I'm the first to glorify the achievements of the mind, but we must never forget that it is altogether a product of matter. "Mind-over-matter" stops at the lasted when a bullet penetrates your brains.
"We have so much more in our reserve tank than we think we did." It is a double edged sword. I have pushed and ended with injury. It's hits and misses. A lot of me thinks it's about being able to accept and live with the decision, and of course, this comes after lessons of suffering.
ik my body is telling me to stop eating choclate
but f** it
You've only had 40% too much chocolate.
Mr Declany to
I was gonna say a gay joke.......butt fuck it
You only had 40% of the chocolate you were fully capable of eating.
if you don;t have any desire to be different from the average person then you never will be
People do not listen to these simplistic life advice.
I pushed my self far more than I ever thought I could.
Breaking the produce load 3AM to 11AM, 12 pallets 32°F
for a year and a half.
I ignored the pain. I lifted properly.
I worked sick and sore not a day off.
Had a baby boy and another one on the way.
Now I have to face severe pain in my back for the rest of my life.
Life can not be built on a few simple advice.
There is no simple solution.
Moderation is the key.
Yeah we live in a world where people think there 's some super saiyjin power deep inside them.
Precisely. If you want to live a healthy life, you listen to your body. Something that is a minor health issue, like back pain or numb hands will grow into nasty things, unless you take care and adapt your working habits.
I used to be an Army ROTC instructor and at 40 years old could out PT and outrun most of the 100 college cadets we had. There is no way I should physical be able to do that. I would tell the cadets this and impart upon them that the only thing that separates what I can do physically from what they can do is my mental capacity. The military does a better job than any other organization in pushing and showing ppl that they can accomplish more than they believe they can accomplish both mentally and physically.
Good for you
I went thru the military and all that jazz. I lost more than 40% of my long term physical and mental health because of it.
40 can easily outrun young kids. running builds up over time. eventually the neuromuscular system becomes so efficient that getting older barely means a decline. 40 years old is just barely past running prime, and you certainly shouldn't have "fallen off" yet. On the other hand, most young guys have only been running a few years if at all.
Tell yourself about how great it is in 30 years
How the hell did you quantify those numbers, Crae Z?
Man Goggin's broken foot story sounds even crazier from the third person
Bringing masseuses (that's right, more than one) to a marathon is not "over doing it a little bit".

It's still better than breaking your bones.
The comments on here are not at all what I was expecting. What is with the hate? This is a great principle to be learned.
You've only gone through 40% of it how can you make a judgement call now?
you are part of the 40% who believe this crap
No, it's a fucking horse shit principle.
That's great motivation for someone fighting for their life as a SEAL in a foreign country, but you can only live so long with that way of life. Your body and mind have limits. That's one reason why a Seal's tenure is relatively short.
