FANCY A CHALLENGE? Want to have a go at the PRMC without the pressure of Lympstone? Come and see if you've got what it takes. THIS JUNE in Bristol! www.rmc-bootcampchallenge.co.uk
Himank Yogesth Kulkarni bro he’s slamming his back against the mat like he just got hit by a car, controlled situps are more beneficial and work the core better
They don't want to build muscle mass that's why they don't do slow controlled reps (eccentric), fast explosive reps will build strength and that's what they want, the best possible strength:weight ratio, although saying that I'm not sure if I agree with the way he slams himself back into the floor but then again they are trained PTIs and I'm sure they know more than any of us about training so there's probably reason for it🤷♂️
Himank Yogesth Kulkarni Yeah dude, I get what you mean, the way he slams his back though, even if it is a test, seems unnecessary and quite funny lol. Definitely though, quality over quantity for personal reps
@Jelloman the point of it isn't necessarily the numbers, it's the form that makes it difficult. If you want to sacrifice form you can smash hundred of shitty situps/crunches
@Jelloman oh yeah 100%. A high schooler who works out for these specific exercises and form would definitely pass. It's certainly attainable by the majority of youth who want to do it. There are no super humans in the corps, all just average people who commit themselves to the job
@@tomanthony6536 Standard training at the boxing club I go starts you off with 400-500 crunches (50 crunches per set, 20 sec rest between sets) I do 1000 tho
Josef Ryan well then move slower and say that “this is half speed” so someone can see it performed. It’s like showing someone how to shoot a puck, you do t just ring off full speed clap bombs and say do it, you slow it down and show them what to do
@@IRISHSALTMINER61 oh watch out we got a badass over here. Sit up is being look down because they damage the spine thus making crunches much better (safer and same difficult to do). How fragile is your ego? They not insulting anyone.
Only one of these bleep tests I can max out so far , the fact that you can swing your arms forwards makes this so much easier, just use them for momentum, good luck everyone else
@@user-yv8rj6ne4d put your dad on a complete sugar ban for a month and watch the change in him ( but he will have headache for two weeks ) but a few teaspoons full of pure organic coconut oil in his coffee in the mornings help the cravings 👍👍
Im not in the marines nor planning on doing so, But I think its common sense that they are no shortcuts for hard work and with a mentality like that youll be kicked off day 1
there's nothing wrong with him wanting training to be as easy as possible, we all do, and we can by putting in hard graft before hand, stop being so negative saying he'll be kicked off.. not true at all
Thats fucking retarded, There is no excuse for wanting the easy way out. You literaly have to hit the goals for these exercises, there's no way around it. To hit the numbers you have to work hard at it, no half reps, no easy way. Go up to one of the instructors and ask him/her: "Excuse me, I want it to be as easy as possible." Buddy before you can finish the sentence the authority will give you the same awnsers as I did. But no worries keep walking behind each other and Ill jog on, used to leading the pack anyway. Good day.
+Boyd you are too narrow minded to get that preparation is key to success. this fella no doubt wants to get tips and advice so he can prepare. 5 p's prior preparation prevents pis spoor performance. his attitude speaks volumes as does yours.
@@mattrowlands5751 it forces you to use abs to crunch your way up rather than hip flexors/quads. If I have someone holding my feet down I could do sit-ups with a person sitting on my shoulders. You have so much strength there. But without feet held down its incredibly difficult. My max is around 20, where with feet held down I could do hundreds, more than I have the patience for.
dfpguitar lmao you’re a shit liar, guy. no possible way that if you can do “hundreds” with support you can only do 20 without it. I saw your comment and did 25 no support with the beeper in the video just to prove you wrong and I still could have done more lmao
Umashankar Kumar my max was in elementary school it was 72 idk how but I tied with this other kid . Now I can barely do over 30 but the speed these boys going is pretty slow my p.e coach does 1-30 soo quick its 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10 etc instead of 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9..10 everyone is like bruh .
I'll put it on. Pull ups is the one that gives people the most trouble. Best advice is to train eccentrically and pull up fast, then lower to FULL EXTENSION slowly. This works the muscles eccentrically and gives quicker adaptation.
Donna Jordan thanks, I find these videos very helpful. Although whats odd is that pull ups are the one that give me the least trouble, I could do 8/9 before I started training. It’s probably because I weigh so little (too little).
Guidelines are - Full extension of the arms. Hold pull up position at the top. Legs extended at all times (no kicking your feet). Feet uncrossed. I will put on the Pull up video tomorrow morning as it is currently downloading. That way you can practice on the cadence and see if it makes a difference to your reps. You need to be a minimum of 65kg or 10st 4lbs.
King All on the same day. In the morning they do a 2.4km run as a group in less than 12 minutes, rest for 1 minute and run another solo 2.4km in under 11 minutes 15 seconds. In the afternoon they do all the gym tests, they do the VO2 bleep test, then straight away comes the press ups, then the sit ups and finally pull ups. After that there is a swimming assessment. The next they have a very rough day of gruelling fitness stuff outside, assault courses, more running and horrible stuff. I wish I had done it. Too old now!
Ninjombie Wolf hi thanks for the reply and it’s a shame your too old to do it , I’m wondering I would have to do all of what you listed , I applied for mine warefare specialist and have my fitness soon
King I don’t think so, personally I think you should aim for that level of fitness it would serve you well. Tbh i could of passed the tests at the top level when i was 18, I had the perfect frame for it, short, stocky and athletic, having shorter arms makes the upper body stuff a bit easier too. I would current get nowhere near, I used to weigh 70kg 20 years ago. I now weigh 90!! Good luck with your journey 💪
This ain't the best set up, is it? The guys who lower themselves back down to the mat slowly, are working their abs more, but have less time to rest in between reps.
What are these young lads doing zero training i can do this easy . The pulls and run well have to see but youth should be able to do this in their sleep
Its the Potential Royal Marine Course (PRMC) that potential recruits have to pass before they start training as actual recruits. Before the PRMC they also have to pass the Pre-Joining Fitness Test (PJFT) which is a mile and a half run completed on a treadmill under 12:30 mins followed by a 1 minute brake and then another mile and a half run in under 10 mins with the treadmill set to 2% incline for both runs.
I am from Brazil, and I didn't understand what is this.. Could someone explain me, if it is a class, I saw some people that look likes a military people...
Habacuque Kasuo Passos the men doing the exercises are men doing a Potential Royal Marine Course. This course measures the recruits capability with physical exercise to determine how ready they are to do marine training.
Funny you wouldn’t even get into a PRMC let alone get through the first day so I’d reel it in if you don’t want to like a right muppet. How about you go away and actually try the PJFT then if you pass that try the RM fitness assessment and come back to us letting us know how you did.
@@bradbs7523 i don`t want to be anyone muppet, so please, thanks, i don`t want to be brainwashed, i`m training everyday since i`m ten :D believe me if this is your 'marines' or soldiers :D :D :D better to jump of the cliff, instead waiting someone of this BOYS to save me up, seriously 50 push-ups and u think this is some sort of challenge ? 50 push ups it`s nothing, this is light training, and from the noises of their breathing i can recon, this was a bit too much for them, or this with the pull-ups 14 ? pull-ups, and this sit-ups wtf, this is not a proper training, please guys this is a youtube channel i can comment whatever i want and whenever i want so please train like girls and don`t bother me anymore. peace. i don`t need to prove nothing to you you are the funny ones who posting videos of some kids that can`t make 50-60 push-ups, and crying like a ladies. Look a little bit of calisthenics, this is the real thing. you`re just -3 level, at least don`t make your self stupid in internet, make it private and watch your own failure.
Ngl I’m a woman and I can do 200 with my fingers interlocked. I don’t even do any sports but if I don’t eat for about 8 hours, I get a 6 pack. Maybe it’s what’s left from my swimming days I can’t do a pushup tho😢
Here's the thing.... situps ruin the spine, pushups ruin the elbows and shoulders, amd running ruins the knees and joints. If you phase out one, phase them all out. Or just suck it up because that's what you signed up for anyway.
Lol I remember when I was like 8 I could do 100 sit-ups . So I showed off doing like 15 with my hands behind my head. This older boy who was like 11 could only do like 10 and he told me I was cheating cuz my hands were behind my head. I believed him then but not now.
