Just to let you know TRADOC just stopped this new test 😂 in other words we’re already getting rid of this test. We’re going back to traditional APFT.

As a soldier myself you guys have no idea how incredible this actually is. I know soldiers who have trained every day for years and don't break 550. To get a 598 (should've been 600) on your first try is one of the most impressive things i have seen in my life. Thank you for doing this. If i wasn't convinced you're the GOAT I am now!

I was in the Air Force back in the late 70s, early 80s... Back then our physical fitness requirement was to "run" 1.5 miles in under 14:30.... I was at my max weight for my height and constantly harassed by the Squadron Commander from our Orderly Room, (if we go to war, everyone is going to be waiting on you) he was a 2nd Lt., probably only a few yrs older than me... We ran the annual event on a 1/4 mile track... This chubby kid ran it in just under 9 minutes and posted the 3rd fasted time of all enlisted folks in my unit... on my last lap, I lapped the 2nd Lt, I quickly grabbed a cigarette from a friend, and was smoking it next to the start/finish line as the 2nd Lt ran by with one lap to go and cheering him on... you can do it!! A few days later at Commander's Call, I was brought up on stage and given a 3 day pass for a top 3 finish..... He never harassed me about my weight again... lol I hope their standard has changed, cause 1.5 miles in 14:30 was way too easy, you could probably walk it in with a fast paced walk...

Gabby is a beast. I like that the test is the same for men and women. Other then the run at the end, id say this favors more heavy set weight lifting style builds.

When I was in the Army all we did was push-ups 2:00 min, sit-ups 2:00 min, and the two mile run. To max all you needed is 60, 85 and a 13:30, so pretty easy to max out, but I'm not sure if I would have maxed out with these new challenges!

You rock Nick! Love the video! Thank you for including me. 💪🏼

These military videos are really cool. I would consider doing a Navy PST test for special warfare navy. Austen Alexander does them and that would be a cool collaboration. It’s a little different starting with 500 yard swim, push-ups pullups, sit-ups, and 1.5 mile run.

You all have my admiration. As a former Soldier it's been almost two decades since I was last in. I know that right now I could not be able to pass the new test. When I was in the military I was not the biggest guy but I did earn the PT patch and score pretty high on my PT test but I don't think I would be able to score anywhere near as high as you all did even when I was in my Prime.
