- Today I'm trying the BUD/s obstacle course! This course is used at Naval Special Warfare to train and qualify candidates during the Navy Seal and SWCC pipeline.
Thanks to the team over in Coronado for letting me come out!

That instructor gotta be Spider-Man or sum he made that look so easy
I love ur videos
Unbelievable wasn't he? Absolute respect due.
Now u gotta build that obstacle course made out of lego boi
Omg i don't know of it was a coincidence or if he saw my comment but e actually built a military training EPIK
How can a human do this?
That instructor went over those obstacles so smoothly almost like he was part of them. Amazing.
he's done the course Hundreds of times. The course and all its techniques Are a part of him at this point.
momentum is definitely a key factor in obstacles like these.
i mean...... this isnt even a hard course....
@@johndoe......I wanted to laugh reading your comment but why do you think that obstacle course is not hard?
@@kestonedwards8142anything
I liked how encouraging the instructors were. Austen is in incredible shape, but its a really difficult course. The instructor made it look easy.
That’s why they became the instructors 😂
I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted.
What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend?
How does the SEAL community feel about women joining them? Do you think women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs?
Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course.
Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. Women have smaller and thinner bones than men.
Austin actually isn’t in incredible shape, he’s fat and unconditioned. He’s just kind of strong and most of that is because he is a naturally big guy tall and broad. He would probably have trouble running 5 miles at a sub 9 minute pace id imagine.
for real. the one that did the obstacle first even checked on austen when he fll. respect to all of them
For all those women who say that the perfect match for her is a 6-foot-tall guy, the SEAL proves otherwise.
They are 5.7, 5.6 feet tall and are able to complete this course without breaking a sweat.
I love how supportive people are in the military. I did a workout with some marines in the recruiting office I go to and they were really pushing me to keep going and making sure I did it with them.
LIttle different in boot camp, tho.
DO NOT EXPECT THIS WHILE YOU'RE IN. They may have been super supportive and helpful here, but I promise you they are not giving actual candidates that. Same goes for any school or training in the military.
My grandsons are Marines. They spent time in the ROTC and did all kinds of things with the recruiters to try and get ready, but my eldest grandson said it wasn't what he expected. It was hell. I was Air Force and ours was more about mind games.
People sometimes forget how badass some of our militaries' elite soldiers really are. Did you see how easy that instructor made all these obstacles look? Super athletic.
He said he had done them over 100 times, how easy do you think he would have made it look his first time. Huge difference.
Made thee 12 minute time obviously. Or he wouldn’t be a navy seal
@@mavcomonster313 Very true, but a Navy Seal already has massive amounts of military training and has trained different. That's their advantage over Austen who trains for strength over other aspects needed for this course.
He’s not a soldier bro he’s a seal💀
it aint that hard plus they have reps on it, its hard for bigger mass guys
That instructor made it look so easy. Damn. That's a tough course! Good job!!!
fr
Of course! Instructors are seasoned Navy Seals themselves. Mad respect to Austen for giving it a shot!
That guy was agile as a cat.
Mustaches look stupid on service members.

I have tremendous respect for anyone who completes this successfully . The training coaches were very respectful and informative. USA 🇺🇸 !!!!!!!! God Bless America !!
These guys aren't just strong, they have mobility, speed, tenacity and endurance that most people cant train for in the gym
calisthenics and sprinting is the way to go
Also mental toughness
It’s an hour at the gym after work as well. But mostly pt in the morning
Thank you
Are you family with Professor Nguyen at Lamar?
I actually had the opportunity to run this course in 2013 (albeit the obstacles have changed since then). I was 35 at the time and in fairly average, maybe slightly better than average shape. A BUDs student, an Ensign who was absolute hulk of a guy and in the shape of a straight up V from the waist up, came out and talked to us about how it's usually the smaller guys who do well in BUDs, and the bigger guys usually fail. He demonstrated the course in about 5 minutes flat. Came across the finish line perfectly fine, not even out of breath or looking tired. I thought to myself okay, this guy is a little younger, and in a little better shape than me (I was lying to myself), if he can do it in 5, I'll give myself 10. A HALF HOUR LATER I literally crawled across the finish line on my hands and knees, fell over on my side and just laid there contemplating if death was really that bad for the next 15 minutes, while trying half heartedly to convince the other half dead people I was fine. One of the greatest experiences of my life, but you could not pay me enough to ever do it again!

Grown up jungle gymnastics. Sign me up,i wanna do it! Especially the high jumps as a shorty. Thanks dad and grandpa for your service ❤
I'm scared of heights and watching this I was sweating. Love that the instructors were so kind and encouraging, they seem like really great dudes who were eager to share their profession. Love that.
I like how the instructor kept on encouraging him to push through it, when you have someone encouraging you to push through it, it makes a world of difference! Thanks for your service to this great Nation
No one there to give you a warm and fuzzy during war.
Yes, I remember being positively encouraged to complete my training as well.
They definitely were not yelling the most vulgar and colorful words in our language.
Is this satire? 😂😂😂😂
“OMG NAVY SEALS SO MUCH POSITIVITY YAYYY”
It's a little more like them telling you to quit the whole time.
every time they gave him polite, positive encouragement i had to smile a bit. my face hurt by the end. i don't recall ever being "encouraged" this way while running this course as a Marine. and i know the BUDS students weren't either....
That was truly pathetic on his part, honestly. I say that because he arrogantly claimed (at the beginning) that he was going to beat the instructor's time, which was approx 6 min during BUDS. On top of that, he did not have to do it with blisters on his hands, chafed balls, sleep deprivation, etc. And he did it while they treated him like a baby (instead of getting treated like everyone else during training). ...The only easy day was yesterday!
Im glad that they had a SWCC instructor demonstrate the course. People dont realize that the SWCC students do alot of the same basic excersises that the BUD's students do.
90% of em
@@proported518 YES. 90% SWCC ARE BUDS DUDS......JUST SAYN!!!!!
Wait till they hear about Marine Recon, literally on par, lol.
Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. How should a woman prepare for BUD/S? How are women treated in BUD/S? Do you have any advice for preparation? I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted.
According to what some BUD/S dropouts told me, one female SEAL candidate broke her legs in Basic Orientation (BO) which is the first two weeks of BUD/S, another female SEAL candidate broke her legs in BUD/S Prep and a third female SEAL candidate got rolled back in BO for stress fractures. None of them made it. Evan Eichler told me that one of the women he trained was medically dropped from BUD/S because she broke her ankle.
According to the SEALSWCC Scout Team, most female SEAL candidates struggle with load bearing and just don’t have enough durability. Women have weaker bones and tendons than men, studies have shown that women develop stress fractures 3x more often than men. Do you have any advice for becoming more durable?
@@jasminejoy_373 You won't make it. Go be a competitive athlete instead
Thanks for this video. My brother was a navy seal. Always wanted to see what he went through to accomplish that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Thanks men for your service. God bless y’all.
OMGosh! That is a tough course! Instructor makes it look easy but then again practice makes progress and he said he had done the course many, many times. Hats off to Austin for not giving up even though he was hurting. I think he did a great job for his first time. Hey, if you're going into combat you gotta be tough! And, Navy Seals are some of the toughest!
I love how Austin pushed through and kept trying/didn't give up and survived this when he had never fone it before shows how hard it really is
He was sitting down and gasping for air by the 4th obstacle!

@@jasminejoy_373You need to carry yourself and train for 24 hours, you need to have a strong head to deal with stereotype and the course. I would suggest watching David Goggins time in navy seals and army rangers and his motivational speeches
did you become a navy seal@@jasminejoy_373
The Second coming of Christ is at hand..
The swcc instructor was so kind and encouraging throughout the course. A short king indeed!
He was really humble considering austen had beenow key insulting him a few minutes prior. Dude could definitely had gotten some payback when austen was struggling but instead he offered encouragement. Class act
@@eoinbrennan3949 absolutely! The signs of a man who’s secure because he knows he brings the heat
Indeed
Keep it in your pants 😂😂😂😂
@@eoinbrennan3949Insulting? You clearly have never played sports or exercised 😂. Playfully saying "I am better than you" is just having fun and important to staying competitive.They both knew the Swcc Instructor was better.
Good video. Respect for Austen for being real about what's hard.
Words cannot describe how impressive that was to watch.... he's in great shape, but to just walk onto a SEAL course and do that well is incredible.
Massive respect for both of the Seals, they made it look like a walk in the park tbh. He finished the entire course just in 6 minutes is crazy

@@jasminejoy_373 I am sorry but Im not a soldier or know anything about it, me saying something may cause problems for you so I hope you can find someone that can help you 👍
@@jasminejoy_373there are very few, there was one female in swcc training when I went in and she made it to tour 3 times and got med dropped. She was a monster. Don’t let your gender affect how you train or how you let yourself excuse lack of strength. She made it farther than I did, though I did these events faster than her. It’s not about winning, it’s about being resilient. Winning in BUDS just makes you not have to take as many punches sometimes
Watching the instructor doing it is insane, the dude is the definition of a sleeper build. The human equivalent of a 7 second civic
He made it look easy
absolute bitchmode of an o course.
You want a climber build for this, which he has. A rock climber would likely destroy this course.
You don’t have to be “ built” to do any of that. being in shape is a must. Mental toughness is a requirement. Your mind is your enemy and your friend. Keep the right mindset and you can push through.
@@pa_2600 yep
This channel is awesome because it demonstrates that our military Special Forces truly are special above-average individuals serving to protect our great nation! Kudos and much love!
Man imagine doing this course and having somebody yell at you to Quit😭 just makes it that much harder!! So much respect for them guys
That's why they are the 1 percent of the 1 percent. Nukes like me who sit in air conditioned rooms all day would perish before the second event.

You will break yourself trying to keep up with men. Don't do it to yourself.
@@jasminejoy_373 The soldier will have to carry the weight of weapons and equipment about 50 kg. All soldiers. How to train? There is an educational film Navy SEAL’s Workout (YiuTube). And run, run, run.

Massive respect for them! Being a big man makes it much tougher,he did great.Congratulations!
clearly being lightweight is the key to all those type of vertical exercises
@@kjizthibaultjouffroy it's only online where people equate toughness to height when in combat you'd prefer to be as small as possible so less bullets hit you lmao.
@@shinobuoshino5066you must be short lol 😆 in combat height doesn’t really matter. Bullets aren’t prejudiced.
i completed the course in 1970, there were several men in our class bigger than him. i served 16 years with one of them
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future
Respect. I did the O-course back in the 80s when my company, Weapons 2/7 went to Coronado for small boat training. The biggest difference was we were not on a timer and didn't have to push nearly as heard and it was still tough.
Good job to you all! Rooting for you Austen! Clap👏
I rewinded the video just to watch the first guy Jake run through it again! He did it so smoothly that was insane! Thank you for all you guys do!
I'm the same. Watched that dude cut through the course like he's doing ballet. Poetry in motion

A few buddies and I would run this course after duty 2-3 times a week. One was going SEAL, the other EOD. I was applying for SWCC. The BUDS instructors didn't mind as long as we stayed out of the class's way and respected the property. Only thing not available was the slide for life due to safety hazards. Much respect to the NSW community.

@@jasminejoy_373there are no woman SEALs
It cannot happen. No females. Any recruiter telling you that a female can is lying
@@jasminejoy_373 It's nothing against women but they are just not physically built for this. There are many ways you can serve and defend without being a seal. You would ultimately be a liability to your fellow seals and that could mean death for you and your team. That's why women seals aren't a thing.
@@fraj001this is a bot account. They comment the same thing on all military videos. Check their previous comments on their account

Great job guy, Thank you for your service!!!!
So we learned that the instructor is the most athletic man on the planet. Straight beast mode lol how did he make it look so easy??

@@jasminejoy_373 The key is to prepare a long time in advance. Just going 100% a few weeks or even a couple months out will basically guarantee injury. The body needs time to strengthen itself especially when it comes to bones and tendons. Definitely aim way higher than the given standards. Spend a lot of time strengthening your lower body especially and also don't neglect mobility work. The rest is just in your head. I wish you all the best.
@@jasminejoy_373 he means literally 2-3 years if you are a man between the ages of 20-26 without the athletic background. If you have 10 years of athletic background, you can learn to swim in 3 months to a year. But to go from normal person to buds shape in 2023 is a 2 year process. The seal pipeline is the most toxic thing in existence for for men in the first world. Tried and failed at 19. the things that come to mind are steroids, salt water in the eyes, and the most ridiculous cyborg-like athleticism (aka steroids). It is not a normal military pipeline due to movies/publicity. Big mistake for me, the army, af, usmc, still have great socom pipelines.
His mustache automatically gave him super strength
@@jasminejoy_373 women can’t be SEALS last I checked.
Rule of thumb: If it looks easy, it's close to impossible.
Also, Jake Foynes is a BEAST for breezing through that on camera without even breaking into heavy breathing. Nevermind his ANIMAL 6:59 personal best.
Much respect from NYC.
Was definitely heavy breathing and dragging his feet. We watching the same video? He was definitely spent.

Well done. I was in the US Army and it doesn’t even compare. This obstacle makes a man out of you.
Most people say the O Course is one of the easiest evolutions at BUDS
Nasty nick is tough.
@@ryandees419 it is
if you look are the army ranger obstacle course both are probably equally as draining they all suck in special operations
Need to do the Malvesti and Darby Queen at Benning and the Nasty Nick at Bragg. They're way longer.
Austen, You made an excellent effort for a guy who has never done that course (I know you do similar things frequently but it is not the same). Congratulations for finishing the course!
Had the humbling experience of serving alongside some SEALs in Iraq in 2005. They are an indescribable breed of capability and performance. #respect
Thank you for your service. God bless.
Hey Mike I was there in 2004 at Victory. Good times. 🤣
Thank you for ya service 🫡
Had the opportunity to meet the Greek equivalent of navy seals when serving. They're people on a whole different level.
Personally, I thought they were idiots and douchebags. Tough for sure though
Man seeing Austen just breathing so heavy & seeing going at that pace it’s surreal about the course you can see drive to finish but also mentally fighting to keep going

Nice first attemp! It really shows the difference between gym strength and functional strength!

@@jasminejoy_373 there really isn’t anything you can do other than lifting weights and increasing you calcium in take when working out as a women, to make it as a women I’d image you’d literally have to be built Different
@@jasminejoy_373 you wouldn't be able to pass unless they made it easier, no offense, it's just too much upper-body strength required. For this O course each candidate is timed and you have to get faster each time or your dropped from the program, same goes for all the timed evolutions
@@jasminejoy_373 You need to do conditioning drills. Find a standard, train to exceed it, whatever and however that may be and keep raising the standard. Embrace discomfort. Learn to recognize the difference between pain and soreness.
I disagree with Kristoff, for the record. Women are perfectly capable of lifting their own body weight. (Look at gymnastics) There were some women I heard about from guys at Ranger School that were no joke. The only place where a woman might struggle is the stuff that requires raw strength. Otherwise, the durability factor is something that can be trained and conditioned for.
You just need to train with more than your bodyweight. The huge factor is making sure your body weight doesn’t exceed what your muscles can move. Austen has a large frame, maybe a bit too heavy to be fast with obstacle courses.
Never just train with your bodyweight, that’s just a maintenance. I always train with a weight vest, or some sort of resistance in order to build endurance and strength. With courses like this, grip strength is such a huge factor. Farmers Carry and forearm exercises are needed to train for grip strength.
When I was at SFAS, we did the Nasty Nick obstacle course first thing in the morning, and all the wood and metal was still covered and dew, which added even more difficulty to an already challenging, mostly upper body and grip strength course. Even simple monkey bars became pretty difficult.
They were so encouraging pushing him to move forward and glad to him succeed through those obstacles
.. PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!!!
Omg. Lovin this. Everybody should have a more humble version of this in their garden. What fun!!!!!!!!! My heart was aching for him in the end, though.
Thank you for your service officers.
Man, hats off to you for persevering and finishing that obstacle course. Liked the video, and to those two Navy SEALs, thanks for serving our country and showing your professionalism.
PLEASE help get this video to 10K likes so they'll come out to the Hybricon Course!!!
1 closer my dude. Well done on that course too!
"My booty's too big." 🤣🤣
Hit "like" to support. May the force be with you. I could never at my strongest do the course I just watched. Much respect.
You got my vote! How do you get yourself into all this and still come out standing?!
Hooyah
The fact that he kept going and tried again and didn't give up even with everything he was feeling was really something!! That's great!!
Wow wow and kudos to the tiny mustached man! We are here impressed in Bulgaria and would want to come try now soon 🇧🇬 🤝 🇺🇸
It's a advantage being a tall guy but he's also got a lot more weight. He did pretty damn good in my opinion 👏. Most people haven't done that course and are gonna say they can do better.
5'9 is the approx. height of the most efficient operators.
@Anonymous Hippopotamus yup. And to me that's tall 😅. Smurf crew forever lol.
Done a lot of obstacle courses for fun as a big guy. I would have been done in about 30s to 1 min on what this required. Austin is about my size. To do what he did, in his time having never done that before? Crazy good shape.
"I can do better" *drops about three feet into the parallel bars*
@@MeetYourDarkSide 😂 with a mouth full of sand.
I live next door to this training facility In Coronado Shores. Watching the Navy Seals training every day is an inspiration to keep in the best shape I can.
Austin great effort!
Jw
Just watching someone go through this obstacle course is a humbling experience.
wow man, impressive! It was more gripping than many action movies! good job
The motivation and constant support made this even more impressive.
Respect!
Except that isn't what happens during BUDS the complete opposite of what happens
Huge difference between gym muscles and athletes
Mad Respect for even attempting cos even I was in shape, I would barely make the time too. these guys are Insane with their fitness. Great Job Austen.
he was in the navy lol
You know what is great about this training is all your instructors have been through this 😊
I’d love to do this course daily. Probably take me an hour the first time but each day gets better and better!
I did it one time. It was nice.
same!!!
Me too 😅
it'd take me 4 hours 💀
That's true I and wanna try out too
Just how tough you must be to pass this so effortlessly like instructor did at the beginning. What a mobility and endurance from him...
Only have to be average and do it a few hundred times.
I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted.
What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend?
How does the SEAL community feel about women joining them? Do you think women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs?
Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course.
Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. Women have smaller and thinner bones than men.
@@jasminejoy_373 I'm a 19-year-old woman, and I'm not training to join the Navy; I train because I want to be as strong as them. In my opinion, women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs, but they should overcome the same obstacle course as men. Even though men may have it easier, women entering the NAVY should perform the same duties. Making the obstacle course easier for women could be detrimental, as once they enter the NAVY, they may face the same physical challenges as men, leading to potential injuries such as broken legs or arms. While I'm just starting my journey, I hope you can overcome all the obstacles in the future and achieve your goal of becoming a Navy SEAL.
I like watching Austin’s videos before a workout to motivate myself. To see what the human body can actually do.
That course looks very interesting, and you can definitely tell those Navy Seals are agile, as well as, 💪 strong !
Those Special Forces soldiers, ALL OF THEM, are incredible physical specimens. The two people that I personally know who are in Special Forces also regularly run marathons and are pretty good Triathletes as well. Nice try, Austen.
De oppresso liber
Just the sheer fact that he didn't get injured is a victory in itself....that course is tough and can be dangerous when fatigued!
Hard work beats talent don’t get me wrong though genes help a whole lot tbh
Special operations sailors*
SEALs are sailors, not soldiers. And Special Forces is the army not the navy. But I do agree with you about them being physical specimens. You have to have a pretty good baseline for physical fitness to begin with go through the training.
In time, I MIIGHT be fit enough to try a similar kind of obstacle course-training but I'm sure it would kill me if I tried it now because like David Goggins, I used to be over 300 pounds and I was overweight. I couldn't do a single push-up or sit-up and I couldn't even run. I've since lost about 70- 80 pounds and my goal is to lose over 100 pounds and I've been doing a lot of exercising and physical conditioning. I'll start doing push-ups and sit-ups after I get down to anywhere from about 210 pounds to 200 pounds. But I still feel pretty proud of the progress that I've made in losing weight and getting back in shape and in seeing how Austen Alexander did here( who is already a pretty fit guy), he still did pretty well here!
Mad respect for those in the military.Instructor made it look so easy. Austin I was routing for you to make it
And it is easy. He just weak.

Seriously your theatrical response. Doesn't show appreciation respect to the same degree as if you said at of my respect for such a highly devoted people I am going to start living up to the pleasure potential responsibility of femininity and masculinity. And not be part of the common basic average normal low ranking civilian stupidity that has resulted in America having more school mass shootings than any other country in the world. Having the highest violent crime rate drug alcohol dependency problem in the world. At the same time the lowest standards of quality pertaining to our air water food landscapes working living environment everyday products and worst of all being the most soft lazy out of shape over fed undernourished overworked underpaid weaklings in existence. You see the difference in being theatrical versus truthful and honest.

At the old Guards Depot in Pirbright the assault course had 44 obstacles that was treated as a tactical exercise and was completed in full CEFO ie Battle Order full webbing with weapons including machine guns and helmets. It was that hard that there was a legend that did the rounds that the US Army Rangers refused to do it. It was reputed the hardest assault course in NATO.
Watching that video was very inspiring. Huge respect for your effort, and how you didn’t give up. Looks easy when we watch it on you tube. Those Navy Seals are badass. 👌

Around 1990, I was stationed in Little Creek Virginia and I used to sneak onto the EOD O- course. After doing it for a couple months, I cut my time in half. Definitely something you improve on every time you do it.
I was thinking that'd be the case. With me, i guess if i did it for about 6 months i might be able to finish it for once lol and then another 6 months maybe to go to 20mins
"you gotta overcome everything that is saying no in your head" locked in thank you.
SEAL teams the best thank you all for serving!🙏
The ropes are durable and just like the ones at the gym. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTFxba6lNeHrZaHoY_LXe6ZzmMfaipnwu Caution: I bought the 50 feet ropes and they are long and heavy so make sure you have the space (I do have the space). If I was to do it again I would probably get a shorter version as 50 feet (25 feet each side) is a little long.
I really like the way they were pushing him in a positive way like they were a team that kind of camaraderie is amazing. These guys are all brothers. It’s great.
The military breeds that. It is one of the main factors why veterans struggle so much with depression. When you're in, you hardly ever feel alone. You just vibe with people and it's an amazing experience. I was in the Marine Corps and definitely struggled transitioning back to civ div.
That weaver looked crazy.. slide for life too! That instructor was awesome!
Back again to watch this great video! Great vid Austin! To the men and women who serve our great nation! 🇺🇸

Those instructors were so smooth on those obstacles. You're moving a lot more weight through the course than them. Great job sticking with it. My HR was spiking just watching. Looks like a great challenge.
This is insane ... and seeing someone like you struggle through it really brings into perspective just how hard this actually is... if you only showed the instructors doing it . i would of laughed at it like it was a joke ... but after seeing you struggle so hard... dam this is actually seriously more insane then I could of imagined.
Courses like these really aren't that hard, if you're lean and fit. The reason it looks so hard for this guy, is that he's huge. There's only so much your forearms can handle and usually, men who are twice the size of other men, only really have about 10-15 percent more strength in their forearms. That's why this course is built the way it is. It's a great equalizer.
Another thing is that this guys cardio is almost nonexistent . About 2 minutes he’s already winded. Like come on bro. No way you’re that tired that early.
ruclips.net/video/t67jPRoykLM/видео.html
Yeah he’s got poor cardio. He was winded after the first obstacle. He’s strong but he’s so heavy that everything is more difficult. The 5’7” 140lb fit dudes would struggle way less with this. Still super challenging of course lol.

And man you did it! Plus he so much bigger than the instructor that’s a load of weight on each obstacle… props man !!!!
Great support ❤

Big Fellow!!! He showed Grit!!!❤🙏
Urrahh!!!
Mad respect to the stamina, strength and flexibility these Navy Seals have and what they endure to become NS
Yes like you have to have balance and safety
I am a civilian and watching this made me proud (even more proud) of the men and women who serve in our armed forces. The physical strength and mental toughness needed to survive - you only see a small fraction of what these soldiers do to protect our country. One of the things that impressed me is seeing size alone doesn't matter. Skill, determination and mental resilience matter more.
What a physical and mental exhaustion... It was like do this as if you life depends on it ... with practice and devotion people would be surprised what our minds can do ... This guy did awesome for his first time ...
Praise the men that do this daily. Well done Austen!
Most important thing, you didn’t quit. You always finish what you start, no matter the time. Good job 👍 💪
That instructor is no joke!!! He made it look so easy. I love how he claps at the end for him lmao 😂
I love the support and encouragement
Wow ! You are a rockstar man !
Great job !
I really loved the way the instructors were giving support and encouragement , I thought it was a real example of way of being there without sounding too much . Amazing work !
Austen, seriously, you are a freaking beast. You can be hella proud to just have finished this course. Just started training again, after a long break... Keep going brother, you're an inspiration to me!
Thank you! I appreciate that. Get in there and be consistent! You got this 👏
@@AustenAlexander. I second Shadinz Austen!
Outstanding grit, and you have excellent total body strength. I’d say maybe only 1 or 2 in 10 people off the street ( of your same size, with any sort of athletic background) could do what you did.
Being as large as you are is all the more reason to be proud!
Those two gentlemen were truly great mentors in coaching you along. Stay safe, and keep up the hard work and great content!
Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. How should a woman prepare for BUD/S? How are women treated in BUD/S? Do you have any advice for preparation? I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted.
According to what some BUD/S dropouts told me, one female SEAL candidate broke her legs in Basic Orientation (BO) which is the first two weeks of BUD/S, another female SEAL candidate broke her legs in BUD/S Prep and a third female SEAL candidate got rolled back in BO for stress fractures. None of them made it. Evan Eichler told me that one of the women he trained was medically dropped from BUD/S because she broke her ankle.
According to the SEALSWCC Scout Team, most female SEAL candidates struggle with load bearing and just don’t have enough durability. Women have weaker bones and tendons than men, studies have shown that women develop stress fractures 3x more often than men. Do you have any advice for becoming more durable?

I’m a US Navy veteran with a cousin who served in the Corps; thank you for all that you do, Jarheads! 🇺🇸
From GREECE of the ancient SPARTE,with the awesome soldiers,many congrats to all!Amazing!👍👏✌️🇬🇷
Huge men in battle have been a detriment since melee warfare went out the window......they wind easier, muscles cramp, spotted earlier by the enemy, take up too much space and eat too much.
big mussels also require more food and water. they cramp up much faster and more often than people of a leaner build, built more for endurance than outright strength.
Those who finished buds or SWCC courses are for sure top athletes. Have great admiration to them
Definitely challenging!
I was in the Navy Seabees in the mid 70s and in amazingly good shape and I don't know if I could have tackled it then. I would liked to have tried unofficially just to see.
Today with a beer belly, no F-ing way!
You'd have to be crazy to try it!
Kudos to the guys that have!
Great great job 👍 you were fantastic.. you're an inspiration Austen..❤ thanks for sharing this I couldn't have done half of this course..you should be proud of yourself. Well done. I've subscribed. Those instructors were very helpful and professional as well. This has made me feel better..❤
The key to the transfer ropes is to do it in one push. Jump and bring your legs as high as you can. Then you can do it in one leg push. It really saves time, energy and grip fatigue.
Kudos to the instructor and Austin as well. It's not a bad first time effort.
I met Marcinko on Kodiak where I was stationed in 80. DEVGRU was doing their Cold Water Exercises and I got to know and drink with some of them. It was really nice, Semper Paratus!!!!
#10 was really dangerous, especially because he's a big fella.
I feel his biggest hindrance is that he hasn't yet learned how to control his breathe, like regulate the inhale/exhale to match your effort, box breathing, horizontal breathing instead of vertical, and "Alexander" breathing. Techniques on breathing awareness just makes a world of difference, but still..MAD respect to his strong performance. He's clearly already a tough guy and now he's probably even tougher after this, thanks for sharing the excellent experience!
Well done. That's a tough course - getting through it the 1st time is awesome. The instructors were friendly and made it look easy. Good video. Keep on going.
The same course is used in other military forces around the world. The instructor did a great job going through it. Nice choice of a teacher. This is one of the challenges in which being too big, even if muscled, can play against you. Cardiovascular conditioning is evidently important.
Like what other courses?
