How to prepare for officer? I’ll summarize it: 1) Don’t get visible tattoos. 2) Don’t get into legal trouble/arrested 3) Have a college GPA of at least 3.0 4) Get used to operating on no sleep 5) Prepare for homesickness and missing your woman. Make sure family is in order because you won’t have time to talk to them. 6) WORK OUT. Do pull-ups, push-ups, curl-ups, and LOTS and LOTS of cardio and HIIT training. Lifting wouldn’t hurt. 7) HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE.

I just want to let you know anytime I get discouraged about the training or my progression I come back and watch this. One day I'm going to defend my country like you. U deserve the highest respect

Love the video. Shipping out in May. You guys should do a nutrition plan for the military as well.

2 favorite military guys 💪🏾

Went to basic training at Ft. Lw in 2016. No long runs just lots of 30-60s, 60-120s, and hill sprints. We did ruck miles and miles everyday though.

2 weeks before going DO NOT EXCERSISE. Rest. If you get sick you will be misreable to the end because there is no time to recover. I know I was because of that.

I'm 350 lbs right now at the age of 19. I've started to go to the gym so I can lose weight and join the Army with an 11X Option 40 Contract to hopefully become a Ranger in the 75th. I know it's going to be hard, but I've been strict with myself so I can get mental toughness and get through it. The only thing I want to do it is be a Ranger. Hopefully soon, RLTW.

This was super interesting, you two ought to think about a podcast or maybe just a one off series of this kinda thing!

Thank you for your service Nick. I'm a jet mechanic in the Air Force and definitely have the luxury of being able to focus on strength training without having Mando pt. Cant even run half as fast at you sitting at 210 lol

Thanks Nick ...these tips are for sure going help with the Fire Academy.

Easy, get used to not getting enough sleep, unintelligent (lack of) programming for calisthenics and running which will not improve anything. Get used to your knees shins and back killing you because Monday runday tuesday run day, Wednesday push up sit up run day, and don't expect to actually be swole or gain weight unless you're able to do PT on your own.

Ice bath after the marathon to get the lactic acid out before your flight. Flight works great when you're plugged up. Thanks for that comment with your twin Nick. You rock!!

5:50 that is so smart. Brains WITH Brawn. Like it guys, great video.

Very true what they said.. on many of the points actually. You basically need to train according to what you want to be a part of. A military personnel may not be an athlete of some sport org but he or she is still an athlete, only difference being they represent what protects the country. An athlete who can still think despite prolonged exhaustion or lack of sleep. An athlete who can go on auto pilot when their brains are drained and taxed beyond limit to finish their objectives and mission. Enduring the heat, sweating, skin tearing from the weight of your rifle slings and equipment, getting wet and then cold, then drying up and having to move on the next morning it’s tough business. It makes preparing for physical tests in camp or going to the gym look like heaven sometimes. Great video anyway keep it up @Nick Bare

Great advice for preparing I wish this came out a little sooner I'm shipping out Tuesday for basic training at fort Sill, you have definitely been an inspiration to me and helped me accomplish my goal of losing 50lbs for the army.

I use to say I want to be a Marine and a FBI Agent lol. A lot of people want to see me fail and succeed at the same time. I am 23 but I don't think I am ready for a lot of stress.

this was my fight my entire time in the Marines I weighed 212 but cut 4 pounds to weigh in every time and people would call me fat haha always a first class and then all the pt leaders think that rest is over rated and especially when the Marines took on HITT the largest emphasized portion of hitt is rest and recovery!!! but not some of these other instructors.

Did you become a marine?

I want to start with saying that my following input is meant as constructive and in no way disrespectful: “Running until you puke,” this mentality works. I agree with your scientific fitness theories, wholeheartedly. But, as the Raider says, you don’t always have time to do things “appropriately,” because of field time and so on. So, military fitness have to be foundational and built on mental fortitude, going full force and breaking down barriers as you go. This builds resilience in fitness and cognitively, which you know all to well Nick, Soldiers MUST have to be effective, especially in combat. So, the “old-school” “hooah” mentality towards fitness is absolutely effective, and is a product of doing more with less to get the mission done. Also, the term “military-athlete” is good, but it means something completely different then say a football player... it means being well-rounded, have a high-level of endurance, and adaptable overall. There just is so “one-size-fits all” solution to this style of physical readiness, because the mission changes every day. I do live your “hybrid-athlete” approach to fitness, because I think it’s most applicable to military fitness. I hope all that makes sense, again just a constructive argument, this is just my take on military fitness! Love what you do man.

Where can i buy that book? I've been training to join the army and need into even better shape.

Also see your BPN poster in Audie Murphy gym at Benning haha

So for a 1.5 mile is 13:36 most of the branches under the youngest age bracket, so I have to run and destroy the 1.5 miler completely under that time if I'm following is to run 400 meter sets in sub 2 minutes per set over and over gradually increasing the work sets per week and I'll pass? Help me out if I'm wrong, no need for trolling or fuckery please.

So what would it be running a 2 mile in 15mins or less, broken down into 300 meter intervals ?

I like the BRC thumbnail.

THANK YOU

So 3:30 I should do what my High School track team does P.S. The season just ended and they have a meet today. KIL though.

I went to the gym because I can't do one pushup and thought "maybe its my form" since I can run 2 miles in 15 and do 53 situps correctly in 2 minutes... I'm trying to train to get to one pushup. I hope that sounds funny to me a couple months from now lol

At the 11 min mark when you both say you wished you had found functional fitness training (CrossFit) really needs more emphasis, CF has a stigma around it where dudes think its gay but I wish I did that shit when I was in, my career would have been totally different. Also, where I live in AZ, there is a jump school for seals and when they're here they drop into my box and do CrossFit, so don't let people tell you SF guys aren't doing it.

Hey Nick thank You for this video, I actually tried to reach out To you through BPN They told me to reach you on social media But I do not own a social media platform. I am currently 26 years old and I'm training to enlist as an infantry men As soon as I have my hand tattoo fully removed I started at 235 pounds I am currently around 195. All I was looking for were some tips and tricks to train for the infantry So this video will help me immensely again thank you God-bless.

Serious Question I have very large legs (pushing 28 inches with veins) with a 32-33 inch waist lil chubby (medically obese but barely) from years of heavy squatting and deadlifting. Should I try to lose size in my legs to be able to do more pull ups. I wouldn't be going to training for a year and a half anyway so I have time to get my pull ups up along with my cardio which is my greatest weak point. It's not long rucking it's more the running.

I do mma training , and calisthenics short bursts of hi intensity and the hills with dogs works for me
