Hi
❤❤❤
You’re the best RUclipsr ever
You’re the best RUclipsr ever❤❤❤❤
Your are the reason why i keep on bodybuilding
"How was that?"
"A little bit harder than I expected..."
"Do it again.":D
that mans testosterone dose was off lmfao.
He was talking so much during the exercises.
I wonder if he went full out and still failed or if he was keeping loads in the tank on purpose.
26:21 yes navy seal
NOICE! Increases testosterone!!!!!!!!!!!

Respect to the swat team for not going easy on bro and giving him the real experience!
Believe me, this IS easy on him. The way he didn’t follow instructions during some of the training modules, especially during the course of fire on the range would’ve been a lot worse for an actual cop. Dude would’ve gotten kicked off the range and probably fired.
they went easy on him, i dont know about SWAT but i was in the us army infantry, is a similar environment and if you do some stuff like he did you well get destroyed.
@lorayneenriquezdominguez3411lol...I was on a swat team for 15 years. You had already had the mindset before showing up. This stuff is a waste of training time. Lemme tell ya, they dont dont pull this shit in any basic swat course.
@TryAgain-f7ibut... hey, is fun in the video jajajaj
He’s learning the difference between gym muscles and real world strength
bro thinks that the swat members dont workout or something
@sam1bamslayer73 what they probably mean is that swat members train because it’s a part of their job compared to regular civilians who work out/go to gyms as a routine or hobby. Civilians are given the option to not go to the gym. But swat members have to because it’s needed in their job to stay fit and stay strong.
@tun@tunamayoriceballf he meant that that what make no sense because he wouldnt have a point😭
What do u mean by real world muscle bro ain't they already in real life
Gym strength is for sudden burst of energy for a short duration. Gym tests your explosive strength. And these swat tests mainly test your endurance. Both are different and both have applications in the real world.
As always, the cameraman proved to be the most resilient of them all, managing to run and still shoot from different angles 💪😂😂😂😂
😆
You didn't pay attention, they showed the cameraman driving behind him in a car, and filming from above with a drone.
You can literally hear the rtv driving him
Probably had a pack on thats twice as heavy
and also got the tear gas!!!
Major respect for signing up for this, not many influencers would do this willingly.
are you sure?
@fbiagent3998 he's saying that because the character in the profile picture says "are you sure" in the film
lol only famous people can. us average joes actaully have to become a cop and meet all the requirements to be eligible. to try out for SWAT
did u ever watch magnus
@RobCars-s4b Yeah he's a real one
My brother is in SWAT... I had absolutely no idea it was like this. I actually have so much respect for him after watching this.
А до этого ты думал что служба в силовом ведомстве - это отдых на Бали?
@agentkrasnobayнет
После этого шоу? Твой брат работает с самым говном общества, чтобы ты спал спокойно, а ты его только сейчас зауважал
Jesse basically did 2-3 months worth of Swat training in 50 hours. Rappeling, swimming test, rucking, running test, shooting test, clearing rooms etc. This all takes a couple weeks for trainees to acclimate and go through all the lessons but is fast tracked so everything can fit into one video
Discipline is crucial in life, no matter what you do. Keep that in mind, people!
KajuKautf is this jesses fake account commenting for the algo, you on every comment 😂
The best things come from stuff that is hard to do.
Play smart, not hard. Eating a dozen donuts or going beyond the push-ups in 2 minutes isn't discipline.
@zachcarmichael699true. Discipline is doing hard things that benefit you but you don’t have to do to live, consistently.
Somewhat...
Discipline and being robotically programmed are different
We need a David Goggins collab!
Lol Jesse is way too goofy and unserious for goggins. If that collab happens, I want jesse to actually lock in and try without jokes.
"You dont know me Son!"
This needs to happen
goggins is gonna break jesse
Goggins is ex navy seal and fitness madman bro would not survive
Хороший дубляж на Русском,спасибо .Было интересно посмотреть ^^
Это ИИ переводит, автор даже не в курсе что есть русский перевод
@leha5345 это оригинальный дубляж, ИИ не может в многоголосый
@pentagram50хорошо, что здесь нету хохлятского дубляжа

@AndreyStu так уверенно закидываешь, будто знаешь какой именно мой родной язык, клоунесса ты)
I am currently at army basic training I get one hour of phone time a week and I love using this time to watch you. You give me so much inspiration and joy during these hard times. Thank you so much for all the things you do ❤
Enjoy basic kid it’s the best it’s gone get
Thanks Man
1 HOUR A WEEK?!?!?!?! Dam I fell bad
I wanted to join the army but now I don’t know because of that
its me a month later thanks for all the likes i changed my mind about this btw
@M36Pershing you didn't really want to join
@SergeantPerrawnyes I did
10:32 the fact that those instructors could "walk the talk" is mighty damn impressive! Often people can give instructions but not measure up
Exactly!!! 👍 👍 👍
keep in mind they did make him do a bunch of push ups and run several miles before they ran with him.
i think we are missing that these arent just instructors these are the swat team members, i would hope they are proficient in their standards.
Не критик имеет значение, не человек, указывающий, где сильный споткнулся, или где тот, кто делает дело, мог бы справиться с ним лучше. Уважения достоин тот, кто сам стоит на арене, у кого лицо покрыто потом, кровью и грязью; кто отважно борется; кто совершает промахи и ошибки, потому что никакой труд не обходится без них; кто познал великий энтузиазм и великую преданность, кто посвящает себя достойной цели; кто, при лучшем исходе, достигает высочайшего триумфа, а при худшем, если его постигает неудача, это по крайней мере неудача в великом дерзновении; и потому никогда он не будет среди тех холодных и робких душ, которым не знакомы ни победа, ни поражение.

Какой вдохновляющий ролик, спасибо ребятам!
Marine here always funny watching civilians particiapte in this type of training I give jessie props as normally candidates would train for years leading up to a SWAT course as these guys are no joke. They are 100 percent right that everything is in place for a reason the physical fitness stuff is always the easiest as you being in shape prior is in your "control" everything else is all mental.
These guys would die in USMC basic 😂😂 that sht is hell
@uncletheoneshotkid3001 Ele morreria no Treino do BOPE 😂😂😂😂
@uncletheoneshotkid3001they have an advantage.. No sleep deprivation, no mental stress over days, no others relying on you, no fear of messing up and screwing your brothers/ sisters.
@ATL4S_9Praticamente qualquer pessoa q n teve preparo morreria no treino do bope cara 🥀
можно годами тренироваться - а потом навалить в штаны когда у тебя над головой выстрелят с пулемёта над головой боевыми патронами... с близкого расстояния. Можно быть сильным но получить паралич всех мышц при наведённом на тебя автомате.... Можно быть выносливым и задохнуться от страха при беге по минному полю к огневой точке противника с которой по тебе ведут прицельный огонь.... Без практического опыта в реальной боевой обстановке - все эти знания это иллюзия безопасности и готовности. Только реальный практический опыт может показать что ты можешь, а что ты НЕ можешь... реальной, там где не сдача экзамена это смерть курсанта....
W cameraman for enduring that run!! Jesse this is extreme!! W dedication 🔥
and getting gassed too?!
@ResistUnjustLaws nah the teacher filmed everything he was the guy off the swat team watch closely
As a former competitive swimmer, it was really funny watching the swimming part 😂😂
Glad Jesse's still making over 30 minute videos, keep em coming!! 💪
More to come! This one is a movie!
@JesseJamesWesthi
These are the cops from GTA 6, we are cooked
I hope so, a bit more realism would be awsome
yess broooooo
Army Ranger Assessment & Selection Program next
Giga chad in background 00:32 😂
😂
31:30
Brother, you have my respect. I always dreamed of entering a SWAT school, but in real life I would never have such abilities that the instructors have. They are great and almost superhuman, and the fact that you lasted 50 hours is something incredible. There is no doubt that in SWAT, only the best of the best pass.
now imagine DELTA FORCE or SAS lol basically 1% of the participants manage to pass
imma tell you right now, if you really put your mind to it, you can do it. don't let some neurons making connections in ur brain stop u from doing it
"how the hell did you teleport" 😂😅
After watching so many videos of Magnus doing these kinds of things, this seems so simple in comparison and Magnus makes it look easy. It's nice to see a "normal" person trying these and see how hard it actually is.
I thought the same thing. Magnus is always mildly sweaty and does all the things really well. This really gives a false impression. Really nice to see a normal Person struggle. But even Jesse is really sporty and trained. Can't imagine whata regular, not sporty person would look like in this test.
@morikirc dafuq are both of you talking about "normal person"
sure magnus is on a whole different level regarding pain tolerence.
but jesse aint no normal human, yall must be kidding yourself :'D
Who is magnus?
@mfrekerara Magnus Midtbø, former competition climber and youtuber now. He has done military challenges like this (and much worse) all over the world.
Jesse is not a normal human being he's peak male natural bodybuilding with 10 years of training a avrg person wouldn't have even made it past the push up version
As a dyslexic, I would also forget the speech immediately after reading it.
You tuber meat came in, and the wolves were waiting, lol
When in hard exercises, gold rule, we don't talk.
0:10 Yes I hear this often
Funniest comment I seen today
Wtf
😂
😂 underrated comment
Pluh’s a menace
Seeing SWAT in action really motivates me to try harder in life.
4:53 "Alright, Maybe you could think about it" yup... You do not wanna here that lol
That was INTENSE!
See if an Karateka can survive SWAT training 😂
VERYYY!
@reiha2334 now he has, kinda....
Dude is worth the subscription
“You’re either SWAT or you’re not”
SHOUTOUT THE CAMERAMAN, HE'S A REAL G...
Mad respect for anyone in the SWAT honestly just the sheer ammount of physical training you need is insane.
The fact that you’re keeping a happy go lucky attitude and talking to us while doing this is extremely impressive
I appreciate the Miami Dade SWAT helping to make this video possible!
this is much better than movies.
I think its safe to say that Jesse won't be a SWAT officer any time soon
Not in that department, that's like top tier swat, I don't even think the SWAT I'm gonna try and join is that hard.
@monkenuts5316Te vas a unir A Swat En que Parte
Oh Jesse, it was hard to watch you push through those challenging moments like when your doing flutters as he's spraying water on your face. Or the moments when your beat red while pushing through it. Hats off to you for doing this difficult challenge. Respect!!!
camera man should try swat academy
As a Cop and as someone who has been through SWAT school, you have my respect. They went a little easy on you though. Or their SWAT school isn't as hard as the one I went through. But the point is proud of you bro for not giving up. You're definitely SWAT material by not giving up. But the tactics and fitness you have to work on brother😂especially shooting haha
It's just for content of course they'd go easy on him 😂
i want to be a police officer or a swat officer for a career what are some things i could do to prepare me
@Michael-xn5udif youre old enough start training your body and take the right classes to learn about law and what classes u need for a degree, aps also help
You made all of that up, didn't you Batboy?!
wait cops do harder shit than that,how come there is fat as fck cannot run 10m wihtout dying cops exist,pls explain
Bro said my hairline is burning, i guess he got hit with that MILITARY SPICEBALL!!!
Swats were really chill guys.
33:01 HELP STEP BRO 😂
I wanna join S.W.A.T in the future. This is a great insight into what I should be expecting. Thanks, Jesse.
Are you already a cop now ???? If I were you if'd start my own PT/swim fitness program-ASAP-so if/when you decide to enter any cop/tactical profession,at least you'll be in the proper physical condition.
This is a fraction of what you can expect lol.
No it's not, unless you're joining Miami-Dade directly. throw that shit out of the window. Different jurisdictions, and departments mean- well a huge difference in training cirriculum. Every Depts SWAT academy is different. and that's AFTER you've been on the force doing PATROL long enough. these are VERY unrealistic expectations.
@mac5894 Yeah I don't think people understand this concept. I wanted to be SWAT for a long time before I realized they aren't all built the same. A few city SWAT teams are awesome and get cool training, but most are underfunded and don't really get a whole lot. My local SWAT team only trains once a month, and the dude I spoke to didn't even look to be in that great of shape. No shade to him specifically, just the reality. Federal teams are a lot cooler. If I were to go SWAT, I wouldn't settle for anything less than a USMS team.
go big or go home
6:40 🗿🗿 Again 🗿🗿
😂😂😂
0:00 ALREADY A BANGER
This is video is a banger and really awesome video Jesse
-ТЫ ЧТО ПОБЕЖИШЬ С НАМИ?!
-РЕСПЕКТ ОПЕРАТОРУ! 1!1!1
😂😂😂
36:27 reminds me of when I first got gassed in Basic Training back in 2019. We were prepped in two stages, first stage was expose you, and then the next room, was the more potent, and amplified room. My cuts from shaving, and my bald ass head from getting it cut by the barbers there at the PX were just on fire. In the 2nd stage, they had us wait by the exit, told us to be ready to remove our masks and sound out the soldier's creed. None of us could get past the first three words until we were all coughing our lungs out and our eyes were burning. Sure enough though, my sinuses were cleared that day.
This makes me so much more appreciative of our swat members and the people who protect us. I could never do this so thank you to the men and women who go through this for our safety
Memorizing would be awful for me because I have dyslexia and ADHD. I am terrible at memorizing whole paragraphs. Especially learning it in one day😂
Bros getting ready for WW3
Best comment 😂
Always crazy seeing videos like this cause who else gets this opportunity, glad you’re not wasting it and making great content🙏
I appreciate that!
19:33 go team go😂
Try firefighter academy next
13:40 ‘’ you see that , oh shitt ‘’ got dying 🤣🤣
The jujitsu was just a combination of Jesse getting choked❤
Can’t believe you did this
so basically you are a quitter 18:42🤣🤣🤣
“How the hell did you teleport”😂
Proud of ya. That was tough
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
I love the Magnus content approach, definitely entertaining and insightful
4:43 I had that same issue in the army getting down the worriers ethos 😂 don’t feel bad just one thing we have to work harder on.
"Give me the speech" while on the gas LOL
One of the best videos on RUclips right now. Dang, kept me captivated!
I came in expecting to cringe and to be unimpressed, but this has made my evening! Glad I accidentally discovered your channel.
the title should be Gen Z recruit trained by Gen X instructors
BRO!! This looked tough af. Proud of you for kicking through it! Great vid per usual 👏🏼🙌🏼
"All those muscles and you can't handle a thing", LOL!
Just wanted to say thanks your for your videos man. They actually inspired me to get back in shape after being out of the Marines for 8 years. Going strong after 2 months so far and already down 25 pounds! Keep up the videos man they are a huge motivation not only for myself but also many other so thank you!
Please share your secrets
@nlrenzo9432 Dieting and just putting in effort man. I work out 2 hours a day minimum for 5 days a week and have been super strict with my diet. Just do workouts thats keep your heart rate up and dont consume more calories than you need to a day. I'm 6'3 220 and dont intake more than 1500 calories a day. Once Im at the weight I want to be at is when Ill start intaking more calories to maintain that weight. Make sure you get all the protein and other nutrients you body needs within that window. I would say dieting is the most important and hardest part to stick to but working out also helps to stay in shape and burn even more calories.
Refreshing to see someone take orders with such class. It is this mindset and dedication that creates warriors. Hence why when these teams are called into action, it's over fast. In 50 hours, you just became year's worth of a stronger person mentally.
"dude you so red" was personal 💀
oh man i loved how the officers put you in pain but actually took care of you love it!
15:24 you looked like a cooked Crab lol😂
Hahaha, “help stepbro” that one made me laugh so freaking hard. 32:55
Having a little experience with most of these things (to some degree) over 15 years in the Army, I can't imagine trying to do all of this in such a short period, with zero experience. lol We call it "crawl, walk, run" phases for training. You were capable of "crawl," but you were being tested for the "run" phase. Funny to watch, but it also hit me in the feels to remember what it's like to not know a damn thing about what I was doing in the beginning. All that said, your stamina is far better than mine is now, so you definitely crushed a lot of the physical aspects of this challenge. Nice work!
Thank you for your service. My son is at almost 4 yrs.
The way he was shocked again?😂
Was literally just wondering where is my Jesse James West video!
Felt like it had been a while and there it is!
Jesse is actually so crazy for not quitting, that’s how we know he’s the Goat 🐐 🔥
The camera guy is a pro no joke jajaja
Great job man, you can actually see how the SWAT officers started to gain respect as you were pushing through.
Do a vid with Mike O'Hearn next🤣
He advertising the watch while almost drowning 😂😂
Jesse all your videos make my day!
Thanks for the Turkish dubbing
This guy is stronger than the average man
15:11 - 15-14 the tan lol
27:23 & 27:40 W Orlando and Dennis, I actually felt what they both told Jesse!
the marines recently switched from a jar of marbles to a jar a crayons
Do BOPE training from brasil next
❤️🔥💙🖤‼️
Currently 30+yrs LE/Tactical / SWAT/ K9 instructor here
Through the years, we won competitions in the south for $hit like this … BUT these guys are BEASTS … our training doesn’t come close to what these bada$$es put themselves through ‼️
“The credit goes to the man that’s actually in the arena” ‼️
thank you for serving our country in the Law Enforcement Community
Lo primero que tratan de hacer es romperte mentalmente este chico aguanto bastante hasta que empezó a nadar mis respetos
Now let"s test the Navy Seals
How about marine
@Thebestdihriderhow about the army
@Violet.Behnke the Marines are worse
@Thebestdihrideryea the boot camp is hell
@ThebestdihriderYou realize BUDS is significantly harder than Marine boot camp.
To enter Miami you have to be physically and mentally well educated.
Making a commercial treading water 😂 and thank goodness he ain’t working in public safety
Thanks for the service of those men and women, and another banger of a video !! Inspiring
Best freaking video ever!!! We all wonder what it’s like to me on swat and you showed us! You did great man!
"Stepbrother, help!" XD
28:01 The only easy day was yesterday
