Honestly the bleep test is really really clever. Doing it as a group you have people who are faster and slower, while you're also trying to make sure you pass too. It's really tempting to slow down with the slower ones, or speed up with the faster ones due to group mentality. It's not just a show of fitness, but also how disciplined and trusting you are of what you're experiencing and your own instinct. Maybe I'm over analysing but I think it's more than just a general test

Pass my selection last week and smashed my pb on the bleep. My best before was 9.1 but got 10.9. I'm sure my adrenaline kick in and played apart, but got some great advice beforehand! Get you front foot onto the line at the bleep or as close before as possible and with out stopping spin round, using your weight to spring back and start your next leg. If you can time this right you never stop and can run slower. Also you are not using as much energy to accelerate of the line each time. Bleep test is a clever test 👍

Please don't be worried about the bleep test. I have to take one every year for work. I'm 49 years old. Im not the fittest but I do very light exercise on a regular basis, cycling, slow paced runs. I get well into level 9's and could easily go further. My son is looking towards a career in the military, he doesn't do much exercise and easily got to level 9. I'd rather do the bleep test than the distance run any day of the week. Its all about the timing, you don't want to be waiting at all. Absolutely love your vids Fabziy. You're a great role model for any young person who may face a personal struggle, you have integrity and selfless optimism.

I've just done my assessment at Westbury and one tip is to rotate the leg you push off after each shuttle. Sharing the burden on both legs will help on those later stages. And of course, practice! Another thing is if you are worried about missing the beeps because of timing, when you are all running together you run in a herd motion and it helps keeping the time/ pace.

I remember the first time I ran the bleep test at home I got a level 6 which was really disappointing considering I wanted paras really bad. But after 3 months of training 5 days a week I manged to get 11.6 and got it again at the assessment center last December. Very important to run it loads as you will learn lots of technique which helps save up the energy. Also the best and fastest way to make gains in my opinion is to do long runs (5k or more) and hill sprints. I'm now hopefully going to do prac soon. Also I just realised this is pirbright because Colin in this video oversaw my bleep test :) small world

It's nothing to be worried about. I did one in my late 20's and scored 9 point something after training but only 7.5 before training. Super-fit is generally defined as 10 or over, as in "athelete" but anything over 8 is very fit. Recovery rate was also tested after 2 minutes recovery as this also matters for an indication of cardio fitness. Special forces and marines/paras are expected to be 10 plus which is incredible! Never managed that despite being very fit!

I’ve just applied for the army, I’m 28 years of age. I’ve got around 2/3 months before I have my assessment. I’m going to start training 3 days a week along with my usual powerlifting routine. I believe I can pass it as long as I keep it consistent. Consistency is key regardless of your age and regardless of your fitness level. Just train and don’t miss a day, challenge yourself every week and you’ll pass it.

You’ll be fine mate I got 8.2 on my first attempt keep doing beep tests there decent for cardio lad. I’m going for the signals as a cyber engineer - they usually have a big in take in November time for basic training so your assessment shouldn’t be too far away now! Best of luck bud!

I have my assessment at Pirbright tomorrow and this has been a great help keep up the good work

Colin was at my selection last Friday! He was cool and supportive

I did the BEEP Test a few times in P.E during secondary school 🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️

I got to 13.2 on my PRMC and I eventually got to level 15.3 those 2 and one I did in school where I got 8.6 are the only 3 bleep tests I ever did

Excellent video as per usual Fabziy! And has definitely made me less nervous about changing from the 2km to bleep test, I'll be giving it a go tomorrow morning for sure !!!

@@Colin44500 build up your stamina, don’t concentrate on 2km first just run to improve yourself and your time then set targets along the way. Also when eventually going for 2km always run just an extra bit to be sure you’ve smashed it.

Louis Holmes thank you bro 🙏🏻

i never did a bleep test before going to the assessment centre so i was worried but the bleep test is so easy, easier then the 2k, i got level 9 as my first time, do not be worried about it, it’s as hard as you make it

You can do it!

READ TO PUT YOUR MIND TO REST!.. It’s honestly not the fitness tests that are difficult so do NOT worry about them! I’m a heavy type of guy and rarely ever run and managed to score a 7.7 only needing a bleep score of 6.6 for a driver role, people on the assessment with me chain smoked but were physically fit and managed 9+ on the bleep test.. I’d say practice your Cognitive tests if you want a certain trade as they require scores of 40 upwards to 60 and depending on how academically smart you are these you may struggle with. If you have no GCSE grades you will need to sit a very basic math and English test you have to be borderline brain dead to fail this.. The Medicine ball throw and mid thigh pull are a piece of piss not much to say in regards to them!.. You will smash it! A Medical GP will look at your entire life background however they are pretty lenient just be honest with them as they have every medical issue you have had dating back to when you was born!.. Seriously.. Lastly the interview! Prepare!. Know your CDRILS & values and standards. Along with Everything about the trade you are wanting to join. Where you go to basic training what the training consists of what you will learn in that trade!.. Learn everything about that job! The interviewer will strip you to pieces if you don’t! I hope this helped and good luck!

Hi. Many moons ago I was an ACCI in the Army. I’m now 62 and need to get 8.8 to be a Retained Fireman. I know I’m old and out of shape, but was gutted to only get 2.4 on my first attempt. Which bleep test are you using?

On Spotify, and KZread I believe, there's a beep test named '20m Bleep Test (complete test)' by Adam Howard. This is the correct audio for Retained Firefighters Assessment. I am doing the same.

Great video thanks for doing this

Colin pushed me to 11.6! Legend!
