I should be studying, but a guy trying the british military test seems more important to me.
Priorities spot on mate
Me too
Me too 😂
Me too
Bruh that would make for a good video
this is the amount of times Mike fell
Hahaha! Don't know if the like counter goes that high
@@MattDoesFitness your my most watched youtuber
Abdulla hello there!
Take a drink every time he falls
Hey he still got back up everytime
For the Fire and Manoeuvre segment you did have the timings wrong. You have 8 seconds to sprint between each sections, from the prone position. You then wait 8 seconds and repeat. Normally you would have a PTI stood watching and blowing a whistle every eight seconds so that you know when to move and when to stay prone. The final stretch is done in 55 seconds (15m sprint and 15m crawl) however you have to do this section with rifle, helmet, body armour and webbing totalling approximately 15kg off the top of my head which does make it harder. This gear will stay on you for all the remaining tests.
The whole test is actually a really good test, it simulates a tab (tactical advance to battle) with full kit, then dropping into your fighting gear for the run to simulate moving into the fight, the fire and manoeuvre replicates actual fire and manoeuvre towards an enemy position, then everything else is either resupplying or casevac for injured soldiers. It's cheeky but very doable
All in all, good effort lads
Gym training: Strength + Aesthetics
Army training: Strength + SURVIVAL
late reply but i'd argue the army training is more useful sounding lol
You know he's british because there's always bad weather in his videos.
And the accent but yea go with what u daid
Yeh
Britain has great weather mate
@@pugmensuperstar7175 right? Seems like great weather to me.
Pug men Superstar ikr beautiful
do a fitness test with actual professionals.
firefighter test with actual firefighters
army with actual people in the army
etc etc.
May well happen
But he'd get slaughtered by them
@@chloehoul9638 that's the point
@Arthur Pilgram Agreed, but "actual firefighters" would kick his ass. P.s, it's a joke incase you didn't get it
I'm attending mpct and we do fitness all the time I'm pretty sure I can do somewhat good
I was in the British army and to do this we had a Bergen with webbing, water and a rifle to carry and we were wearing combat boots but the video is interesting as it lets the general public and others see how much you have to push yourself in the forces, I was in the parachute regiment and it was the best years of my life keep it up guys
Love how much effort you put into the vids mate especially with the tracks and camera angles
If you want to do that test correctly I will facilitate you coming to my camp and taking part with serving soldiers.
GET IN TOUCH
Charlie Page thank you for your service
do it MattDoesFitness
I’d love to see that!
That's what I want to see! Thx Charlie! Hope it happens!
Well said boss. Make these numties do it correctly
Matt: Squats 600lbs
Also Matt: struggles to pick up 20kg backpack
Hahaha!
Well, adaptation from training is specific!
Matt omfg I love u
yeah, i'm no bodybuilder. By conventional standards i'm not even fit. But this essentially looks like yard work at a summer cottage to me. Pick up a stone, carry it to the other side of the property, pick up a 25kg bag of sand from the car and carry it around the house to the back yard. A neighbor some 2-3 streets from you wants some nice small stones for his garden, and I have some. Well, i could take the wheel barrow, but why make it easy, let's use 2 buckets. And finally "That 120kg stone looks much better at the other end of the property. Let's start rolling." or "My outdoor fireplace would look much better with a ring of stones around it. Better use big stones. so about minimum 50kg per stone. Also lets make the ring higher by stacking the second ring on top of the first."
In conclusion. You guys need to do more yard work.
Steroids my friend steroids
When they’re running it’s hilarious how unathletic they look because they have so much muscle
bob saget they’re not really fit and athletic they are muscly
Danny Kettle they’re consider athletes u good
difference between condition and muscle
They’re not very big, the only reason they look this way is because of how little cardio they do.
Look at phil heath running, he has no problem
not going to lie, your bag carry tests would be somewhat easier if you had actual hiking packs which you could clip around your waist, takes a portion of the weight off of the shoulders
They’d Have to wear boots aswell though
The weather makes this so much more British
And dutch
If is rain than 100% British
If it ain't raining, it ain't training.
Next challenge idea: Re-visit all the failed exercises and try to achieve a pass in them
@@lakinnenlako6883 oh? fr?
Big boys but maybe a repeat of failed test
Matt will definitely not be able to beat royal marine fitness test it’s harder than seals
Get them on bottom field, or a good mud run then the Tarzan course that should bring on some tears
In my opinion the seal test is harder than RMC test I’ve done the RMC lymstone exmouth training twice back in 80s wen I was in usmc the RMC are gung ho as phuk good lads top blokes but I didn’t find training any harder than usmc training but I did do a lot of training with rok marines of South Korea and their training is gruelling, I would say SBS training would be equal to navy seal training which both are higher level SF training
@@edsalais1263 I always thought SEALS where considered as a US special forces team anyways so yeh SBS would be close match but in terms for training Bootnecks have a good old slog and the Army BFT doesn’t even come close, as for the USMC I’ve had a few run ins with them but generally good guys with some Gucci kit
Speaking as a former RMC42 I can still say after being out 15+ years that the RMC course is STILL the longest and hardest in the world for any military unit. All special forces require a "personal training requirement for fitness". There are no compulsory fitness tests once you are in the SAS or SBS, SEALS etc as they expect you to maintain the standard you need to operate. Comparing these to anyone in the forces fitness wise is laughable. These guys are muscle monsters not built for cardio or endurance, it always will be a ridiculous comparison. Just pure click bait. Per Mare Per Terram :-) Keep safe and healthy people!
@@edsalais1263 yeah but when they bring you over you don't get beasted like actual recruits, they're nice to you.

Bit harder to do with a rifle, clunky altbergs and a helmet
yo dude
nothing really secret in russian army fitness tests. i can help you to organize that, at least with info and explainations. im ex russian army sergeant, and i was doing many jobs while i served, including controlling batallion fitness stuff.
can help you with choosing correct exercises and its possible variations.
can say that you easily will pass the regular test.
questionable if you pass special units test :D
Oh God it would be interesting!
Hey can you send me the Russian army PT test standards? I'd like to pass that on my own
Give this dude more likes mattdoesfittness must see this!
Do you think a Indian navy Marco's will pass the Russian spetsnaz alfa group test or ace it?
Urine tests 🤣
Train like an ufc fighter for a day
Ha! Would be a sick video to be fair
I would watch the CRAP out of that video!!!
id try this one
I got money on Mike... sorry Matt he just looks meanier
@@MattDoesFitness you should train as a rugby player
Do the old South African “Special Task Force” fitness test
🤔
Jacques Malan You went through veld school huh?
Are you talking about the Recce (South African Special Forces) test? It does sound fun: 50 continuous push ups without breaking rhythm, 67 sit ups in two minutes, 175-metre fireman's lift run within 65 seconds, 5-kilometre run within 24 minutes, a rope climb and 40 six-metre shuttle runs in 95 seconds, scale a 10-foot-high (3.0 m) wall, complete a fifteen-kilometre march in less than 120 minutes and perform 120 shuttle kicks.
After Saturdays result have nothing to do with South Africa, too soon.
Oooo yes
And also the rifle and helmet includes into the 20 kg, the rifles 4kg itself
I absolutely love being a infantry squaddie, who has let himself go over the Last few years, to see these ripped blokes falling to pieces over these buckshee tests 😂
Lizard
Should never be buskshee if your are doing 100℅ you should always be fucked
British Royal Marines PJFT (pre joining fitness test)
👇🏻
RageSquirrel23 he won’t manage 😂😂
Think it's pretty similar to the ones we've already done mate
The biggest difference will be push ups , sit ups and pull ups to the beep . Make it a lot harder . Or if you're looking for something different try attempting one of the commando tests ..
MattDoesFitness na it’s absolutely not the same as the army marines are on another dimension bro
Should 100% attempt the PRMC stuff as it looks solid with the press up, sit ups and pull ups to a beep and it’s all on the Royal Navy website so it’s easy enough to follow
Said it last time, say it this time - Royal Marines test.
All in boots, after a week of minimal sleep and thrashings.
Too samey mate
@@MattDoesFitness You are wrong. The RM test is way and above the Army's. Give Lympstone a call; I'm sure they'd be only too pleased to set you right.
Yes
@Guy Fergus definetly
The Russian PT included an obstacle course, a six-mile run in 20 pounds of combat gear, chin-ups while carrying ammunition, a rope climb without using legs, a grenade throw and a hand-to-hand combat drill.
Are you allowed to disclose that?! Haha, because Russians do sign a contract that they can't reveal what goes on in their training
@@mpnl21 since he hasnt replied i can only assume he wasnt allowed to share that.
@@bradturner7678 Haha, yes, and he's probably on the run now...
😂😂 I did all these tests at just 16 years old like many others, I weighed 8 stone wet and still managed to pass these tests. What I learned was it’s all in your head and you just need to switch off. This video has enhanced what the news is saying about Army recruitment only 10% actually make it all the way through training........ you have to want it enough.
These tests have only been implemented recently, infantry got them first and support branches have to so them as of April 1st 2021, it replaces the AFT (8 miles in 2 hours carrying a set weight)
@@totalgaming206 do you know if they’re still around i start basic training in 2 weeks?
My father was in the Russian army many years ago. I could ask him what fitness test they had to do.
Love you're videos mate
Noice
Do it
It was probably some crazy stuff like wrestle a bear, run a marathon, and wingsuit onto a moving tank.
Would be interested to know mate
@@robroberts1473 that for a warmup :))
Mike slipped this many times in this video:

Yeah. He's kinda clumsy but adorable
Pussy Wagon you defo flick your bean to these videos
Faux lmao
More like first minute trailer thing
Y
As someone from quite a big military background, at 13:00 in the vid you are basaically doing a technique called pepper potting. It is very doable in 55 secs beacuse we literally throw ourselves at the ground and jump back up in a matter of secs. We use ( I’m up - he sees me - I’m down) so you run dive jump run dive jump. Love these type of vids man. 💪👍
I think that would kill me. Never mind the enemy ...
@@MrPoupard Aha, its better than u think
Used in RTR ?
@@jakebloomfield4935 work the box. Saftey check, magazine pouch.
It's called individual fire maneuver, pepper potting and Caterpillar are types of such action, these tests are very half cocked and somewhat disappointing
These are fun to watch. You guys should totally do the school gym test that you had to do when your kids rope climbing and all that stuff.
Spetsnaz GRU (Russian Special Forces Physical Test)
1. General Stamina Test
The distance a soldier runs in 12 minutes
Under 2.0 Km = bad
2.0 - 2.4 Km = fair
2.4 - 2.8 km = good
Over 2.8 km = excellent
2. Muscle test
Four exercises performed back to back without a break, 10 times each. Four exercises make up one series.
Exercise 1 = Push ups in prone position
Exercise 2 = From a squatted position move to a prone position by kicking the legs back.
Exercise 3 = raise legs from a prone position on back (to build a 90° angle)
Exercise 4 = From a squatted position, jump upward fully stretching the legs and body, hands behind the back of the head
Grading
1 - 2 series = 0 stars
3 - 4 series = 2 stars
5 - 6 series = 3 stars
7 series = 4 stars
The full training obviously includes a lot of other crazy shit like making explosives from household materials and parachuting but this is just the physical component. Like so they can see it!
source?
@@dpcater
You run half marathons and you're cririsizing the running requirements of soldiers who have to do many other things than just running. I would like to see you upload a video of running over 2.8 kilometers in 12 min then. Regarding the second part you completely misunderstood it. First you perform 10 push ups, followed by 10 jumps from squat position into push up position, followed by 10 leg raises to 90° while laying on your back, followed by 10 squat jumps with hands clasped behind head with full force.1 series is therefore 40 repetitions full body exercise all performed without break. 7 series will therefore be 280 full body exercises without rest. I would like to see you do it before calling it a joke. My guess is you will be crying on the floor soon into the exercise.
Im firefighter and on cooper's test day i run 3.2 km in 12 minutes
@@ludigracic
There's a reason firefighters are among the fittest professionals;)
Re: the 'muscle test' - is there a time limit to that or do you just do them till you physically can't do any more?
Oh I thought it would be luca trying it, cuz it said “Bodybuilders”
Hahaha!

Good effort lads, it's not an easy task! I've been tabbing and doing this for a good 2-3 years and it still kills me every time 😂
0:26 **After my first exercise on leg day**
Hahahahaha!
Train like:
UFC fighter
Boxer (Joshua's training regime)
Swimmer (Adam peaty)
Try those lads
You know that's totally waste? They all have condition and worked up lunges/oxygen which Mike and Matt don't have. Its pointless. Mike or Matt, or in this case any human, can't swim 10k without any training, or fight for 30minutes. You'd die faster.
Yes please
Ooh I want to see these
Jeeses99 I hear where you’re coming from (& I agree that conditioning is important), but in Matt’s defense, I think he, too, acknowledges the benefits to conditioning & exercises for cardiovascular health, but it’s hard for him (calorie-wise) to maintain his muscle that he’s worked hard to grow, so performing strictly cardio exercises could dwindle his muscle mass. (which he obviously wouldn’t want to lose) + Your heart rate can still be ramped up whilst lifting weights depending on your intensity.😊👍🏼
I think you'd be surprised at Adam peatys training , it would be be gym circuit based with a 2 hour swim session. Would be fun to see them in the pool even if they lasted 30 mins. Joshua training they would more likely handle better
The reason it was so difficult with the bags, was because they had no hip support. If you look at the military backpacks, they have shoulder and hip straps. Those hip straps make a world of difference lol
We had a bunch of us marines challenge our regiment on fitness. The us marines was like these to gym queen's, we killed them. You get to big size you becomes a issue. Soldiers are a different breed
Both of y’all do a triathlon or an Ironman!!! Like so they see
They defo wouldn't be able to
They can't even run. Wtf u talking about. Triathlon is no no.
Triathlons and the Ironman are best suited for us thin people. All that muscle will not help. It's for us runners and cyclists.
I prefer these challenges they're doing because we get to see if all that lifting in the gym can translate to better times in these sorts of fitness tests.
do it
@@jacksonm.6549 who says ironman are only suited for thin people go search for nick bare as he look even huge than Matt but still able to complete a full ironman match better than most thin people out there

@@zippolink another soldier currently serbing said yes in the comment
They look so tired when they FAIL. The crazy thing is that in the Army, it has to be done all over again, IMMEDIATELY
Its not immediately. Its re-done between 24-72 hours after the failed attempt unless injured on the first failed attempt
@@JohnSmith-ex9gu get yourself to the med center first. Then get lost in the system and never do the retest.
Not true. You can try again the next day, if you fail again they send you home. You can try again in a few months time. You get 3 chances. Although you should do it on the first attempt.
The hardest part about this was the gaps between exercises. The army allow 5 minute between 1-3. 15 minutes after 4 then 5 minutes after 5 & 6
Underrated comment. Recovery = Fitness!
the guys a fool but from my experience in army you get the most experience when u fail and they kinda mocking it the way they look like little grockas after they ran we use to run have at most 5 minuites do again and after 2 more years i’m in sas and u do 8 mile jog in 90 mins
without stopping
do the beep test and try to get the max level
Can confirm a max score would not be attained
@@MattDoesFitness hahahahahha guess we do like to see you guys suffer😂
@@MattDoesFitness I feel better about myself now
As a u.s marine recruit my british friend cody who is in army said that its 1 minute 25 seconds not 55 seconds
still seems fast as shit
I believe its plausible, and very do able with training and better conditions
F**k that with them stones it’s dead weight, soldiers make up their weight with actual kit which believe it or not is easier to carry than a load of stones
BULSHIT
ИГОРЬ igor Vyacheslav the russian multilingual what’s bullshit, pal I served and we never used stones or sand to make out bergans heavier it was all issues kit and water
yeah I was thinking this as well those backpacks flopping about is not helping and not realistic, same for the next step where they also had to fight for grip as they were slipping on the grass constandly
We use what ever will make up the weight some times a rock from out side is needed to be sneaked in
@@mattwiper we used lead flashing for webbing weights in the 90s. Really good as you can form it in to 'comfier' shapes, then put a bungie around the outside of the pouches to minimise bounce.
Sanitary towels on shoulder and lower back to minimise webbing burns.
14:33 can't stop laughing looking at Mike. Looking like flappy bird 😂😂😂
The Fire & Movement section: The 20 tactical bounds are under the PTi’s timings.
Then the 55 secs relates to a 15 crawl and 15m sprint. Has to be done in under 55 seconds in fighting order. I.e webbing, helmet and rifle.
Someone please upvote this man
Good effort lads, remember lads will do this in boots and carrying a weapon but great effort 👍💪 You up for a Challenge against some British Soldiers?
Drop me a DM on Instagram mate 👍
@@MattDoesFitness will do mate, also ref the bounds I'm sure how we do it is the bounds are controlled by a PTI and then the crawl and sprint is in 55 seconds but will discuss more over Instagram 👍
He should deffo do it
I would love to see this. Would be great to get Matt and Mike together with an infantry unit for a week or so doing their PT. Not sure how feasible due to timings etc but would be a sick video.
@@ConnollyUK I can make it work and hopefully he can 👍
I respect all the defences personalities for all the effort they put to train themselves to protect their country. Well done, try add a video with Indian Army training as well. Cheers!
This is the sickest video yet mate, well done!!!
These tests are also supposed to be done back to back with only five minutes in between wearing helmet, body armour, webbing and rifle!
Not all tests are you wearing all helmet, body armour webbing and rifle. RMT 1,2 and 3 don't require any body armour for example. But you're right they're missing essential equipment but considering its just some RUclipsrs and athlete they should've looked into wearing boots for the marches and a proper burgan for support with correct loading to avoid injuries at least even more so than without supervision.
How are you even suppose to do that in 55 seconds? I saw that they were not the fastest but with full gear how even is that going to be possible in 55 seconds.
Do the Germany army basis fitness test
Like so Matt can see👍
🤔
No fuck you
Monster GG lol no.
That test is going to be easy. Done this test without prep or sport for 6 months
But I am interested how he will be doing.
I dont know about anything else, but when you carried the 25kg weights in each hand that literally was my job for quite a bit. 25Kg weights for lifts/elevators. Depending on the lift/elevator it could be anywhere between 250 to 1700kgs. I usually had to walk stairs, too.
They tested if the constructions are safe.
So I had to bring them from the truck inside the building, usually involved stairs down or up, and then have a 30 minute break while they do their tests, and then carry them back.
Mind you Im a skinny lad, no bodybuilder.
The thing why you struggle so much (with everything here) is that you have isolated strength, but not functional strength. No hating or anything, but maybe it helps putting this in perspective.
This is the truth tho.. Body builders lack functionality
What's the difference between those 2 types of strength?
@@shubhamkatyal6391 functionality is bassicaly being able to move your bodyweight and/or aditional weights as efficient as possible. While bodybuilder strength is just being able to press a certain weight with your tricep
@@shubhamkatyal6391 Well, isolation only works in that very specific movement you trained it for. Its relatively unstable in other conditions. Because that very specific training your muscles never learn stability.
So and now when you try to carry stuff, or pull shit up, or drag something, or whatever, it may activate muscles you have trained but the supporting muscles are relatively weak and will fail first. Your movements is only as strong as your weakest muscle.
This can lead to injury, and certainly leads to big and muscly bodybuilders to barely do what a soldier half of their size does.
Or me being able to carry the lift weights but being skinny as shit otherwise. (The reverse)
Very interesting - it's the "never judge a book by its cover" - only made real in your case.
Guys you really made me laugh, well done to you both, i've been in the army for a long time, (36yrs and still in) I still train this way, and it bloody kills me lol. you train for what you need to train for. you did well lads and good on ya. was good to see the 100% effort you both put in. you both deserve a pint lol. Remember "Stay low move fast"
Was the time limit 55 seconds?
@Mike Povey Thank You for Your Service.

smithers and with boots on not comfortable trainers, wearing a helmet and carrying your weapon.
Lol
There’s the truth right there!
@@1MrT but boots are specifically designed to keep your feet sturdy and safe, it would be so easy for them to roll their ankles running on that uneven, slippy grass in those flimsy trainers. I agree with the helmet/weapon/other gear, but boots would probably benefit them in most challenges.

Taking weights instead of water cans is much much easier because the water in the cans swings back and forth wich makes them rlly uncomfortable to carry
Yeahhhhh absolutely, & running with them is way much tougher. Also not to forget, our hands will also be a little raised, because obviously those water cans are wide in dimension, which these weights not.
Its harder to walk with them like your supposed to do in the test, not run. Its not a speed test its a strength test
@@gazjackson3076 ive been to the military and we did both and i can say from experience that id always prefere weights over water cans. First theyre more compact and since theyre not fluid they dont swing that much with your movement. This also applies to walking. Running of course causes even more movement but if u dont believe me try it out at home u just need a bit space some weights and water cans. Merry christmas btw
@@theoneandonly3435 yes defo easier with weights, the army dont use weights for this test they use jerry cans.but on that test your not meant to run
@@gazjackson3076 sry i misunderstood u cause my phone said your first comment was an answer to mine and it seemed like u were saying that weights were as difficult as cans. I just saw it was a comment standin on its own. Sry i think i misinterpreted your writing.

How my parents describe going to school back in the day
La Leyenda
This is gold xD
Hahahaha!
this is too accurate
Too right. I did it, survived it, and am still badass enough to push a 125-kilo patient in a wheelchair the length of a football field with the brakes on. [absentminded badass, but still . . .]
Mike's falls were so artistic 😂😂😂
No idea why RUclips led me to your channel from this vid alone; but it did and quickly I liked and sub'd. It has suggested it again since the first time today.
Over two years I've grown to expect "The Lucas intro..." but I forgot he once wan't a part if it... now I remember my roots, but I still really love your videos.
Absolute kudos + fan,
Thanks
I'm moving to the US in three months.
But seeing the British countryside makes me want to move back to the UK again. It's such a beautiful place.
Do the “Bring sally up” push-up challenge Please!!
Rens which one? Pull ups?

The one on medicine balls
Great vid. Well done
2:55 That weather is amazing
The cinematography has been leveling up leaps and bounds! I feel like I'm watching "The Challenge" on MTV or something lol. Good stuff!
Matt : any last thoughts?
Mike: (just kill me now)
😂😂
Hahaha!
@@MattDoesFitness hi
My background is a sports coach. I am fascinated by novel training methods but am proud too that the British army is so forward looking and is using such specific functional movement based tests for candidates, compared to say doing press-ups and running. You won't be doing press-ups in a war. You will be having to hump stuff around in a backpack over uneven terrain. You will have to potentially drag a comrade to safety.
Brilliant test and brilliant effort guys.
I would say about the jerry cans that they'd be even more difficult to use i reckon because of (probably) the grip shape and the fluid moving inside. I get you had to improvise.
Great video!
9:03 when your late for a strict teachers lesson lol 😂
I'm sure the groundsman for that pitch was delighted with that.
jobsworth alert!
😂

nice to to see them doing this in the summer so we can get the good weather in :)
They made it look too easy
You know what, you guys reminds me of : Sgt. Michael Stonebridge (Matt) and his US counterpart : Sgt. Damien Scott (Mike) from the TV Series : Strike Back! in this RUclips video/(which is an awesome TV Series if you ask me). So well done Matt and Mike !!!. Keep up the good work, really an awesome video. Try do the : Frømands korpset or Jægersoldat fitness tests (And yes you guessed correct it's Danish special forces).
I'm just going to say the Green Beret Fitness Test once again
I just love how they plowed that beautiful field up with those weights 😂😂
Especially as that was the pitch, and like 3m to their left was off the field😂
Got distracted from the focus of the video by how beautiful Britain is. The one rounded brick wall. I'd read a book a day there.

That recovery from Mike made me laugh my ass off!
Both of you should have been wearing a pair of Alt-Bergs boots, see what difference that would have made.
Do it make it easier or harder?
@@joshcooper7 harder, a lot for my opinion
@@damianhrnak4793 running wise a lot harder, although would make the casevac drag a lot easier though as it would have allowed them to dig heals in to drag instead of slipping
Heavier on the legs and heart but traction is better--ish... plus ankle is well supported oddly making new muscle’s ache like fuch.
More grip, better ankle support, alt-bergs tabs would have worked lovely.
you've ruined the grass pulling those large heavy bags across the football field lol
they should try that on a Saturday morning...
I think it just made the grass less moist so it looks darker
they made the grass disappear ^^
Changing backpacks while running. Magic
Tab: quick walking, then jogging then back to quick walking and repeated until the distance is completed.
T.A.B tactical advance to battle not a quick walk
@@tiigertim1 that's what T.A.B stands for, but what i said is what u on a tab.
