"Going to community college, sitting in classes I had no interest in" Holy shit I felt that, exactly how I feel now. Currently trying to lose the rest of this weight so I can enlist into the Navy, I'm 255lbs down from 400lbs last year.
Honestly i wish i had that experience because i got the opposite; i enjoyed class work. I enjoyed taking tests. The problem is being good in school doesn't mean shit to your employer. I really wish i had hated school and just enlisted or started my own business
Correction: You can drop out before you swear in. If you get off the bus, you're stuck there. Also, perform the bodyweight exercises (100 total reps) at the end of each workout. Semper Untamed, Alan
I was sent home at the end of basic due to medical. Always kind of felt bad about that. Think about the dudes I trained with sometimes. Thanks for your service.
As a 56 year old retired Army Ranger, who loves to pick up heavy metal objects and fight gravity, you just moved up a few notches in my book. RESPECT!! I also subscribed to your channel. keep up the good work. Hooah RLTW
Thank you sir for your service. My son Lance Cpl. Daniel Morris was killed in Feb. 14 2007. Al Anbar Province Iraq. I really enjoy your channel and appreciate what you have done and are doing. We are in the process of opening a gym in our home town. Thanks again. Semper Fi!!
Allen, served in the Marines in Viet Nam. What I found most interesting in the segment was mention of tour as body bearer. Post Marines worked in funeral business often bringing Marines to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. So chances are good that our paths did cross. Like you, those moments graveside rank among the most meaningful in my life. Thank you-and all of us- for our service. regards and, of course, Semper Fi, Bill
i joined the Army. Ill never do that shit again. i did my time, i earned my stripes, but i could've done something better with my energy. i guess, when i was a kid, i didn't have much sense of what i wanted. but after my friends and i did some deployments, i realized i wanted to live to be an old man one day, and live life on my terms. to those of you who have served your country, all i can say is thank you for your sacrifice. i know its not an easy task. take care.
@@licktin1091 Yes dude, Im just gonna do my year of service and then I will go back to normal life. Right now im in the Base Naval de Boca Grande in Cartagena, u can look it up.
“If you can only do 1-5 pull up, you need to lose weight if you are overweight...” I love how Alan gives it straight no chaser. That’s why I think he’s the best.
Scream at the top of your lungs 5 minutes per day a month out. It will hurt after a while and you will lose your voice but it comes back stronger and the pain will be gone. Get that out of the way before you go.
@@therealamerican99.76 just sing as loud as you can, and make sure to do it from the belly for less pain, breathing exercises might help, not only for singing but for cardio and certain exercises (belly breathing does not help with most lifts or exercises, but will definitely help you stay calm in stressful situations)
I remember watching this video three years ago as a sophomore in high school. I had already made the decision to join the corps and I’m set to ship to bootcamp in less than 3 months. This video was a huge inspiration and helped me greatly I now have a pft score of 272 many thanks to you for helping me with my goal
awesome man, glad you're ready to risk your life so rich kids can party at the college. thanks for your service, if you get killed I'll be sure to vote conservative so your widow doesn't get more than the least she can. Will motivate your progeny to follow in daddas footsteps. XD
MarineCounty MCRD San Diego 1980, was just remembering how the words “but my recruiter told me” would always bring a laugh ;). Best to you and Semper Fi
probably not, because firemans in brazil are military. They are not part of the regular Military(army, navy and air force) but rather they are an auxiliary force. In practice, he is a Military Fireman.
My Brother did tomb of the unknown soldier guarding for 3 years. Badge # 651. He just finished his walks ~3 months ago. Said it was the highest honor one could receive. Mad respect.
Semper Fi, brother. In bootcamp, I was a weakling. It took me a year after bootcamp to become a stud. I was a regular 300-PFTer after that. People have no idea what kind of heart they have. USMC bootcamp will give you a very good idea. If you were company honor grad, then only fellow Marines know what that took. Respect. You're dead-on about training to be a sub-18 minute 3-miler. You gotta go fast all the time for as long as you can. When I went for runs, I freakin' ran. If I wasn't feeling particularly strong that day, then I cut it short, but I never went slow. I also did the sprint the straights and walk the curves thing on a track sometimes. You gotta get to where you're relaxed while hauling ass.
I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2007. I was an 0341 and I joined with my best friend in the buddy program. We went to Parris Island, SOI, Iraq and Afghanistan together. We had a five year contract and got out in 2012. Definitely the best decision of my life. In our case, I was the guy who called my best friend and said he had to join with me haha. Love the channel man, keep up the good work. Semper Fi.

it gets to the point of running so much you can carry a conversation for 5- 10 miles. and thats not jogging ether we are talking 6-7 min mile run speeds
he's talking about how you get comfortable enough with running that you can carry a conversation while running a 6-7 mile time... except alan doesn't talk about running 5-10 miles (or long distances), he only talks about running up to 3 miles lol
I met this guy at the gym who was on a football team in my HS, 1 year younger than me, and was in the army. I told him I was planning on joining Marines, and now I lift with him a lot. He's really strong, deadlifts 545 lbs max after a little less than a year out of the army. He runs every time he lifts, for 1 mile, 5-6 minutes, keeps his size and strength, and I run with him. cardio is good for your heart and muscles. woudnt mind Thrall spreading the wisdom of it.

Hey Brother, I stumbled onto your channel a month ago. I really enjoy it. I had no idea you were a former Marine. This video was great and very funny as most are. I also appreciate your service at Marine Barracks. I have a couple "brothers" who made their final trip home. "Last to let you down" hold's a special place for their families. Thank you and the men you served with for that. Semper Fi. ...Do Work
God bless anyone who's ever done the military I've coached high school wrestling and football for 9 years and a lot of the kids I've coached have gone into the military Navy Marines Army and one of the last kids was a Navy SEAL he said the training I put him through the wrestling is what got him through to be a Navy SEAL I was very honored about that and I told him thank you for letting me train you I feel honored for coaching honorable kids our job in life is always to give back not to always take thank you for your videos you are very motivated keep up the great work I'm a big fan thank you
I cannot thank you for the running template! I have the mindset of increasing mileage to get quicker but know that I need to get better at sprint work to be a better runner. I will be implementing this routine regularly. Thank you so much Alan.
Just saw this today. Belated Happy Birthday Marine! Began watching your channel and working out (5X5) last month. It is really hard to face the fact that my Marine service ended more than 50 years ago but I feel much better now that I am exercising again. Thank you for your service AND for the inspiration/motivation you channel provides.
So I'm guessing someone forgot their general orders while on firewatch one night and paid a heavy price for it. Yes? 1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view. 2. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing. 3. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce. 4. To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own. 5. To quit my post only when properly relieved. 6. To receive, obey, and pass on the sentry who relieves me, all orders from the commanding officer, officer of the day, and officers and noncommissioned officers of the guard only. 7. To talk to no one except in line of duty. 8. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder. 9. To call the corporal of the guard in any case not covered by instructions. 10. To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased. 11. To be especially watchful at night and, during the time for challenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.
Thank you for your service! My brother was also a Marine, he started as a radio operator and switched to combat photographer. My husband served too, in the Air Force Special Forces. We are a very pro-military and pro-America family, thanks again Alan!!!🇺🇸
It seems like you're missing the Marine Corps Alan. Allow me to be the voice to remind you that you made the right choice joining but you've also made the right choice leaving. You are very successful brother and set the standard for people getting out like myself should strive for. (not to mention my deadlift shot up 50lbs taking note of your videos) Semper Fi man.
Alan, thank you. This is the EXACT information I was looking for. Weightlifting combined with running training. I will be starting this afternoon to implement your training routine.
Great video dude! Especially the first part, holy shit you were in my head when I was 18. My best friend had already left for the Marines, I was a directionless, defiant, lost mama's boy. Couldn't find a job I liked, or keep a job for very long. My buddy came home from his A.I.T. and I was floored by; how he acted, how he got treated (he was even more of a fuck up than I was before he left), and how much pussy came out of the woodwork for him. The night he was leaving, my fuckin battery in my truck exploded, had a shitty night at work (3rd shift shit job), almost got into a fist fight at work, bla bla.... Got out of work at 7am, got my dunkins coffee, and was waiting parked in front of the recruiter's office when they opened. The rest is history. Our government may have it's issues and challenges, but our military fucking rocks! Uncle Sam straightened me right the fuck out (with a quickness), best move I ever made. 8 years active Army Engineer. retired Sgt, 62E20, promotable. Got out before I got my E-6. Great tale brother! Semper Fi.
"many of you have supported untamed strength since i had 50 subscribers" so, uh, about 50 of us? jokes aside, cool video man; I'm joining the military soon and this gives me a lot of confidence that its a good decision for me
Didn’t know you served brother. Loved you before, respect you even more now. Old Army Infantry Platoon Sergeant here. Growing my dreds out myself. It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve been out. Anyhow, you kick ass man. Keep doing what you do brother.
Hey, I wanted to thank you for this video. After being laid off from a good job and having one now that I am not very happy in, I have decided to finally get into shape and do something I've been considering for a long time, join the military ( decided on Navy). I have lost almost 50 lbs through powerlifting and CrossFit and I love both, but now I am at a point where I need to start running, and this video has some great starting points for me. Thank you for this video and others on your channel.
I just finished up with the Canadian Forces and made a vid a few weeks ago saying that I wasn't going to shave or cut my hair for a year, funny that I came across this vid. Right on man, can relate to your story a bit too.
Just finished Basic Training at RTC. This helped me out preparing for it. If I can add one thing, if you’re joining Navy, train your hip flexors and core. Learn to hold your planks and learn hip abductor endurance. That’s my biggest piece of advice.
Super interesting video, Alan. Even though I have no interest in joining the military. I've been looking for running programs to start when the weather warms up a bit and I'll definitely do that 15 min 100m sprint/100m walk HIIT.
just want to say thanks for this running program! I've applied for the Royal Australian Navy and have to pass a beep test in December, this running program is the best, most logical programs I've ever heard of. Will definitely start on it from now on! Thank you! Also your beard and hair are glorious!
This guy is talking about intervals, the best way to better your endurance. It's better to slowly jog than to walk, but it's even better to have a bit a of a fast pace while jogging, and then you start to Sprint. These are called fartleks. Another workout would be Indian runs, where a group of men in one single column would run around a track at their 10k pace (10 kilometers), about 6-7 min per mile. The last guy in the line would sprint to the front, and on and on and on. Sprint, jog, repeat.
In one of his vids. he showed a pic of him @17 y/o (4 years of training already). He had huuuge legs. He said he squat, front squat, power cleaned and sprinted.
Semper Fi! From one Marine Vet to another. I'm definitely subscribing. I was stationed at 8th & I from 2003 to 2007 as part of Marine Corps Institute Company. I was trained by the Body Bearers and made that trip to Dover, DE, very often. Counted over 800 transfers during my 3 years. #KeepGoing #USMC 💪💪
Thank you so much man. I leave July 17 for San Diego and have been having problems getting my run time under 20 mins because I would run 7 miles because that's what the recruiter told me. I will do this until I leave and will reply with my new results.18 pulls 109 crunches and 20:21 3 mile 4/6/17
Update on my run now. My 3 mile time is now 19:49 and it's only been two weeks. Getting closer to 18mins. Thank you so much on the work out. I'll keep you updated till I leave
USMC 1986-1990. Just happened across this video. Best advice I think I've ever seen. And in case anyone may have missed the emphasis, KNOW YOUR GENERAL ORDERS😂
Just stumbled upon this video and it couldn't be more perfect. I'm in the delayed entry program for the marine core and needed to see something like this. I haven't been this motivated in a long time. You really put it together for me there. I appreciate the information. Thank you for putting this video together.
Damn this man knows how to train for a 1.5 mile run. I ran track in college and used to have chiefs tell us to run 3 miles two times a week in prep for a 1.5 and when I told them it just trained you to run a slower pace and made it harder to pick up that pace when you needed to they would just not listen. It is good to run two to three longer tuns of no more than 5 miles 3-4 times a month.
Semper fidelis brother. I had no idea you served until I saw this. It sheds a whole new light for me on your videos. I've been in 12 years now and I still fight every gene in my body to maintain weight and fitness standards, made all that much harder by having to set an example for my troops. I recently had to take a promotion photo, and let's just say I had a moment of "self awareness", and decided I can't live like this any more. So I've started a journey to change my life, and in just a couple months, changes are happening and I feel like my life is so much better. Sorry for being so long winded, but I just wanted to make a point, that some of your videos have been a part of this, and now it means so much more. I'll be looking forward to more videos. Oorah! Yut! Kill!
Just Subscribed to your you tube ! I was never A marine but I did spend all most 10 years with FMF Marines as A Corpsman the best 10 years of my life ! I have so much respect for USMC IT was A honor to serve with you SEMPER FI BROTHER !
Dude?! why am i just now finding you, this video is a huge inspiration! 3 weeks to EAS and im off to go build my gym in Chattanooga! seriously glad i saw this, its very hard staying motivated with no one around you that believes in you!
Alan, can you critique my alpha male, not bald, full body chair routine? Chair rows Chair dips Chair holds Level pulls Chair press Deadchair ATC squats I do 1 set of 3 reps, once a month for each lift. I rest 10:02 between sets and chronically overeat calories to put on more muscle than any natural on Earth. That's just a simple reality.
Connor I use more weight because my high fiber diet makes me gain body weight easily. I also give dick twice a day, which is considered muscle confusion. My muscles can't tell whether my female girlfriend is actually a female, thus they are confused.
Hello Im new to the Marine Corps and about to graduate MOS school I'm glad to see a great channel from a Marine thank you for advice you have a new subscriber. Thank you for your service Sir!
thanks for your service, from one veteran to another. as a guy who is still active duty air force, I would love to see a video about how to incorporate running the 1.5 and strength training without too much sacrifice on strength gains or running time
I mean, you look at that clip of the three officers screaming at that one recruit and you have to imagine his friend made the right call. If you want to be psychologically stripped down so that the military can make you a "good soldier", then all the power to you. I'm not into kink shaming, so have at it, you weirdos.
I'm joining the British Royal Marines in 3 months and I really appreciate this workout plan and your info. The Commando's and the Corps share some pretty similar fitness ethos and while the entrance requirements are a little higher over here I have no doubt that the general fitness level you aspired to in training will be more than enough for me to work towards and pass my PRMC. Thanks dude, you're an awesome coach and a Fantastic Fucking Beard Man as well!
Best beard on RUclips.
Listens to metal.
Can cook.
What's not to love!?
what about a beard bounce / or a mustache ride?
I notice how you didn't say best hair. ;-)

God bless anyone who's ever done the military I've coached high school wrestling and football for 9 years and a lot of the kids I've coached have gone into the military Navy Marines Army and one of the last kids was a Navy SEAL he said the training I put him through the wrestling is what got him through to be a Navy SEAL I was very honored about that and I told him thank you for letting me train you I feel honored for coaching honorable kids our job in life is always to give back not to always take thank you for your videos you are very motivated keep up the great work I'm a big fan thank you
I cannot thank you for the running template! I have the mindset of increasing mileage to get quicker but know that I need to get better at sprint work to be a better runner. I will be implementing this routine regularly. Thank you so much Alan.
Just saw this today. Belated Happy Birthday Marine! Began watching your channel and working out (5X5) last month. It is really hard to face the fact that my Marine service ended more than 50 years ago but I feel much better now that I am exercising again.
Thank you for your service AND for the inspiration/motivation you channel provides.
So I'm guessing someone forgot their general orders while on firewatch one night and paid a heavy price for it. Yes?
1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view.
2. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.
3. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.
4. To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own.
5. To quit my post only when properly relieved.
6. To receive, obey, and pass on the sentry who relieves me, all orders from the commanding officer, officer of the day, and officers and noncommissioned officers of the guard only.
7. To talk to no one except in line of duty.
8. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.
9. To call the corporal of the guard in any case not covered by instructions.
10. To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.
11. To be especially watchful at night and, during the time for challenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.
Hey i had to know that in the Navy in the 90s
i got out in 95 and still remember them fuckers
Dude good job in the marines
One more week!!! I've been studying my GENERAL ORDERS.
Thank you for your service! My brother was also a Marine, he started as a radio operator and switched to combat photographer. My husband served too, in the Air Force Special Forces. We are a very pro-military and pro-America family, thanks again Alan!!!🇺🇸
It seems like you're missing the Marine Corps Alan. Allow me to be the voice to remind you that you made the right choice joining but you've also made the right choice leaving. You are very successful brother and set the standard for people getting out like myself should strive for. (not to mention my deadlift shot up 50lbs taking note of your videos) Semper Fi man.
Alan, thank you. This is the EXACT information I was looking for. Weightlifting combined with running training. I will be starting this afternoon to implement your training routine.
Dude, great video, I think it will help a lot of people! And i was just about to do a video similar to this! Hahaha great minds man...
Brian Alsruhe You went military?
Brian Alsruhe figures as much Brian. You god damn professional. This video would of helped my run so much before I went. I was strong and slow!
I sitll want to see your take on it
Brian Alsruhe I'd still like to see your take on it as well
Brian Alsruhe Brian where's the video
Great video dude! Especially the first part, holy shit you were in my head when I was 18. My best friend had already left for the Marines, I was a directionless, defiant, lost mama's boy. Couldn't find a job I liked, or keep a job for very long. My buddy came home from his A.I.T. and I was floored by; how he acted, how he got treated (he was even more of a fuck up than I was before he left), and how much pussy came out of the woodwork for him. The night he was leaving, my fuckin battery in my truck exploded, had a shitty night at work (3rd shift shit job), almost got into a fist fight at work, bla bla.... Got out of work at 7am, got my dunkins coffee, and was waiting parked in front of the recruiter's office when they opened. The rest is history. Our government may have it's issues and challenges, but our military fucking rocks! Uncle Sam straightened me right the fuck out (with a quickness), best move I ever made. 8 years active Army Engineer. retired Sgt, 62E20, promotable. Got out before I got my E-6. Great tale brother! Semper Fi.
"many of you have supported untamed strength since i had 50 subscribers"
so, uh, about 50 of us?
jokes aside, cool video man; I'm joining the military soon and this gives me a lot of confidence that its a good decision for me
i dont wanna like this comment cuz guess all 50 of them have liked it :)
Didn’t know you served brother. Loved you before, respect you even more now. Old Army Infantry Platoon Sergeant here. Growing my dreds out myself. It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve been out. Anyhow, you kick ass man. Keep doing what you do brother.
You have the best looking cover out of any recruit picture I've ever seen 😆
Burial Detail was one of the highlights of my active military time. Saw the Marine Corps. bury my Uncle and my Pops and I said I am going to do that.
Hey, I wanted to thank you for this video. After being laid off from a good job and having one now that I am not very happy in, I have decided to finally get into shape and do something I've been considering for a long time, join the military ( decided on Navy). I have lost almost 50 lbs through powerlifting and CrossFit and I love both, but now I am at a point where I need to start running, and this video has some great starting points for me. Thank you for this video and others on your channel.
I just finished up with the Canadian Forces and made a vid a few weeks ago saying that I wasn't going to shave or cut my hair for a year, funny that I came across this vid. Right on man, can relate to your story a bit too.
I became UNTAMED, because I can...
Love it!!!
Just finished Basic Training at RTC. This helped me out preparing for it. If I can add one thing, if you’re joining Navy, train your hip flexors and core. Learn to hold your planks and learn hip abductor endurance. That’s my biggest piece of advice.
As a Marine, this shit is pretty funny and motivating. Keep up the great work brother.
One of, if not THE most helpful video to all Corps hopefuls on youtube. Very thorough and even inspiring, have a like and THANKS!
Super interesting video, Alan. Even though I have no interest in joining the military. I've been looking for running programs to start when the weather warms up a bit and I'll definitely do that 15 min 100m sprint/100m walk HIIT.
just want to say thanks for this running program! I've applied for the Royal Australian Navy and have to pass a beep test in December, this running program is the best, most logical programs I've ever heard of. Will definitely start on it from now on! Thank you! Also your beard and hair are glorious!
Thanks for sharing this very personal story
Thanks for serving our country, Marine Thrall. Wonderful video and instructive.
This guy is talking about intervals, the best way to better your endurance.
It's better to slowly jog than to walk, but it's even better to have a bit a of a fast pace while jogging, and then you start to Sprint.
These are called fartleks.
Another workout would be Indian runs, where a group of men in one single column would run around a track at their 10k pace (10 kilometers), about 6-7 min per mile.
The last guy in the line would sprint to the front, and on and on and on.
Sprint, jog, repeat.
50 yr old Army veteran here ... great advice for anyone. Love your channel. Great Work. Thanks ...
Alan, I had no idea how much you knew about running! You should do some more videos about it if you have any more information.
In one of his vids. he showed a pic of him @17 y/o (4 years of training already). He had huuuge legs. He said he squat, front squat, power cleaned and sprinted.
Semper Fi! From one Marine Vet to another. I'm definitely subscribing. I was stationed at 8th & I from 2003 to 2007 as part of Marine Corps Institute Company. I was trained by the Body Bearers and made that trip to Dover, DE, very often. Counted over 800 transfers during my 3 years. #KeepGoing #USMC 💪💪
Thank you so much man. I leave July 17 for San Diego and have been having problems getting my run time under 20 mins because I would run 7 miles because that's what the recruiter told me. I will do this until I leave and will reply with my new results.18 pulls 109 crunches and 20:21 3 mile 4/6/17
Update on my run now. My 3 mile time is now 19:49 and it's only been two weeks. Getting closer to 18mins. Thank you so much on the work out. I'll keep you updated till I leave
How'd it go?
Collin Steele how did it go ????
Collin Steele ayy i shipped july 30!
RIP
From one brother in arms too another congrats on everything you have accomplished and thanks for your service
Great Video Alan! Headed to OCS in June and I've been struggling to balance lifting with my running
Thank you for your SERVICE and PATRIOTISM
GOD BLESS 🇺🇸🏋️♂️🇺🇸
USMC 1986-1990. Just happened across this video. Best advice I think I've ever seen. And in case anyone may have missed the emphasis, KNOW YOUR GENERAL ORDERS😂
Thank you for your service and all the sacrifices you have made to protect my freedom and my liberties as well as our borders.
thank you for your service I was in the R.E in uk
Just stumbled upon this video and it couldn't be more perfect. I'm in the delayed entry program for the marine core and needed to see something like this. I haven't been this motivated in a long time. You really put it together for me there. I appreciate the information. Thank you for putting this video together.
Thanks for your service brother. As a Squid, it was a pleasure giving you a ride. lol
Great video. I was there. Thank you for your service, and thank you for stepping forward when others step back.
Was you best friend Jason Blaha?
loool
They fought in the Powder wars together yea.
Which military branch did Blaha serve?
@@JoeyCentral bullshit branch
Interciiiiity
This video is pure gold Sir, I am in the german military and I will use your methods for my training. Thank you very much!
Damn this man knows how to train for a 1.5 mile run. I ran track in college and used to have chiefs tell us to run 3 miles two times a week in prep for a 1.5 and when I told them it just trained you to run a slower pace and made it harder to pick up that pace when you needed to they would just not listen. It is good to run two to three longer tuns of no more than 5 miles 3-4 times a month.
Now I know why your training videos are so awesome, clear and concise, great sense of humor as well. Take care brother Ooh Rah!
I feel honored to share birthday with such a magnificent beard :D
Semper fidelis brother. I had no idea you served until I saw this. It sheds a whole new light for me on your videos. I've been in 12 years now and I still fight every gene in my body to maintain weight and fitness standards, made all that much harder by having to set an example for my troops. I recently had to take a promotion photo, and let's just say I had a moment of "self awareness", and decided I can't live like this any more. So I've started a journey to change my life, and in just a couple months, changes are happening and I feel like my life is so much better. Sorry for being so long winded, but I just wanted to make a point, that some of your videos have been a part of this, and now it means so much more. I'll be looking forward to more videos. Oorah! Yut! Kill!
New drinking game,
Drink every time Alan says:
Sprint
Walk
Metres
oi
MrNormallan gy tr efgh5 u khd2sdhy4g fa wet Drunk
gaaaay!
jk :D
MrNormallan Ahahahah fuck yeah, and after every shot, pull ups
I love this video!! I'm a 49 year old USMC vet. Did 6 years 86 - 92. Cracked up at the "know your General Orders!" ROFL Brought back some memories...
Freaking beast. Semper Fidelis sir!
That was literally the best bootcamp preparation video of all time!!
Just Subscribed to your you tube ! I was never A marine but I did spend all most 10 years with FMF Marines as A Corpsman the best 10 years of my life ! I have so much respect for USMC IT was A honor to serve with you SEMPER FI BROTHER !
Alan Thanks for your service.
Dude?! why am i just now finding you, this video is a huge inspiration! 3 weeks to EAS and im off to go build my gym in Chattanooga! seriously glad i saw this, its very hard staying motivated with no one around you that believes in you!
I love how you have a good sense of humor even though you in the Marines hahaha. A lot of Marines aren't like that.
Boi, we have the darkest sense of humor!
Young Oorah yes we do its just dark and evil.
Demarcus Faulkner fuck yea were some sick bastards
I don't know what Marines you are talking about. They were the funniest guys I ever met
You're both a pog and a reservist. Now I understand
I'm not preparing for boot camp but this was very interesting, instructional and entertaining. Thank you sir!
Alan, can you critique my alpha male, not bald, full body chair routine?
Chair rows
Chair dips
Chair holds
Level pulls
Chair press
Deadchair
ATC squats
I do 1 set of 3 reps, once a month for each lift. I rest 10:02 between sets and chronically overeat calories to put on more muscle than any natural on Earth. That's just a simple reality.
i do chair sits all day
Shaolin Schlag Add Towel Rows for extra volume.
Shaolin Schlag you need to add a rep each month or else you aren't hitting progressive overload.
Connor I use more weight because my high fiber diet makes me gain body weight easily. I also give dick twice a day, which is considered muscle confusion. My muscles can't tell whether my female girlfriend is actually a female, thus they are confused.
Your problems seem eerily familiar somehow..
Hello Im new to the Marine Corps and about to graduate MOS school I'm glad to see a great channel from a Marine thank you for advice you have a new subscriber. Thank you for your service Sir!
thanks for your service, from one veteran to another. as a guy who is still active duty air force, I would love to see a video about how to incorporate running the 1.5 and strength training without too much sacrifice on strength gains or running time
This video is gold. Everybody should see this before enlisting.
"For the love of Chesty Puller" --> confirmed marine
Much respect......from a retired Veteran....THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR!!!
Its marine or just veteran. I doubt he's retired.
"Dude I'm out...I'm in love." 😂
I mean, you look at that clip of the three officers screaming at that one recruit and you have to imagine his friend made the right call. If you want to be psychologically stripped down so that the military can make you a "good soldier", then all the power to you. I'm not into kink shaming, so have at it, you weirdos.
I am soooo glad you all are on our side!!!
Respect!
Kickass service brother. Well done. Brian (MSG Ret.)
Great video tx for sharing.Thank You for your service. Wow, those are some prestigious accomplishments. What ever happened to the guy who dropped out?
Not sure but I bet he doesn't have a sick beard and hair! heh
I'm joining the British Royal Marines in 3 months and I really appreciate this workout plan and your info.
The Commando's and the Corps share some pretty similar fitness ethos and while the entrance requirements are a little higher over here I have no doubt that the general fitness level you aspired to in training will be more than enough for me to work towards and pass my PRMC.
Thanks dude, you're an awesome coach and a Fantastic Fucking Beard Man as well!
Wow I got this recommend me to me a whole year later I'm set for boot camp on May 12th hopefully this helps me out
How’d it go boot
