SEALFIT Academy First Day - 45 Minute Plank Hold 

that older man with the large triceps shaking impressed me the most. Never broke position, didnt look like it at least.

There was only one guy doing it correct...The guy who was shaking all over...he wasnt sagging at all

Just did 15 seconds and hit the showers, called it a day.

The girls weren't struggling, because their asses were either up or down. The big guy was having a hard time, considering he was performing an almost perfect plank.

The point was not to do a plank, just to get them so physically uncomfortable that no amount of prior physical condition was going to help them avoid falling back on their mental skills. That's what they're doing right, teaching mental strength?

respect for the dude at 1:51 , he was the only one to do the exercise in a correct form, indeed it is harder to do so, hence the shaking, but physically and mentally he is the strongest

Some of those people were doing 45 minutes of either cobra pose or downward dog

Just few days ago i did 15 seconds of plank MAX and now im proud to say that i do 95 seconds of plank easily

Mark Divine is a great trainer who knows what he's about. One of the few SEALS that didn't get fat 5 minutes after getting out.

More of a test of sheer willpower than actual strength. Obviously still incredibly important for SEALS

This is one of those great exercises that show people what a waste all that extra upper body weight/muscle does for you.

WHAT I can barely hold for two minutes without breaking perfect position! That one guy did it completely perfect!

I wonder how long they would last if they were flexing/squeezing their abs the entire time. I don't mean to doubt or discredit their effort because right now I would probably struggle holding a 6 minute plank let alone 45, but I know when I do a plank I try to contract all my musclues; quads, glutes, abs, obliques, pecs, etc. so I wonder how long they'd last doing it that way.

haa i did 5 got 40 more to go.

That's a push-up hold, not a plank

The utmost respect to all who endure the challenge. 💪🏼🇺🇸

High-plank hold. Still a plank. Except the occasional upward and downward dogs.

I definitely want to go to one of the camps, either the 3 week or 1 week. What a great lesson in mental fortitude.

more than the physical discomfort, I am put off by the sheer boredom one would have to go through while doing this.

They all dropped at least a few times, but that's the thing. Yea some did better than others, but it's not about perfection, it's about teaching you to keep going even when you fall. Can you keep going through the strain and muscular pain over and over again until you've reached the end?

My goodness that dude's triceps are insane

Did a 12 minute plank the other day. Holy cow! The fact that everyone in the group completed this shows a lot about the power of the mind and group encouragement. Update: I've since done a 25 minute plank so still super impressed these guys were able to bite off a 45 minute one first try. Meditating a lot on the value of encouragement and team efforts.

Yeah right 45 min plank.

Had to do a 20 minute plank(bows and toes) as a pledge, that was hell, had to do it on our elbows many times

So strong every one! Bravoo! Can I join you on next one? High planks are my favourite. Good for the body, good for the mind. All it takes it's to build up that body mind endurance. Love it!

Damn. This actually motivated me to get up and finally get some chips

I did a proper 4 minute plank today and I am dead rn

Love that in the Sealfit logo, the weight, it has something with 3 points, like the devils stick, and it's the logo for the swedish equivlent of the british SAS Kustjägare (Coastal Rangers), a Kustjägare that is also a Attackdykare (Attack diver) is basicly a navy SEAL. PS, there was also a competition between kustjägare and the navy seals, the kustjägare won because a seal broke his leg.

Another lifesaving excersice...

The different between this plank with elbow plank is just a variation...let me give you an example to understand... 100m sprinter and 1600m long distance run. Both are running exercise but different way and how u manage it.

0:29 Woman had a fucking banana..

Awesome! I love to see stuff like this.....

.. and yet none failed to do what was expected of them. I would have folded like a cheap card table after five minutes. The guy is a good Zen master.

Am laying down on the ground watching this and contemplating life rn......

Think I'll give it a shot tomorrow

Anyone giving the spiteful thumbs down or nitpicking the level of quality of the planks is missing the point by a spectacular distance. This challenge is about fighting through fatigue and the desire to quit. I don't care how bad their planks were, every one of those people had to fight through those minutes. You need to think bigger than technique and more about purpose.

I really want to join the seals any body know How in can do that. Please help inform

Pay us so you can plank for 45mins lol

Love this!

i thought planking was with forearms down... this is just push up position without doing any push ups

Should try the royal marine commandos plank, 45 minutes at the bottom of a press-up position! Brutal

So many people talking, criticizing and critiquing. wonder how many have taken the time to try it, even for a short period. Experience the mental and physical benefits

These men and women were tough. I can't even hold pass 5 minutes.

3:09 GOOTTTTTTDAMMM DAT AZZZ

45 minute prank*

Watch a seal fit video every day take action do the drills . action beat resistance!💪🇺🇸🗽👍 one nation

Awesome work Mark. Nice gut check

I was shaking just watching this

The women's class at the County Jail in Las Vegas, just watched this as part of their Unbeatable Mind training in order to help them get onto the path of a purposeful and meaningful life.

At first a saw this, read it wrong, thought it said 45 seconds, thought to myself "well that's easy" then saw it said minutes "ah"

That guy with "Ebbs" on his shirt didn't even break a sweat, what a beast!

How can I join this camp ? I'm super interested !!!!

I have a 6 pack, and 5 minutes is fucking hell...

I just did 5 min of a low plank. Ive heard about this before, and I thought it was a low plank, thank god high planks are like five times easier

Open ranks... March! Half right... face! Front leaning rest position... move!

Starting my 21min plank then on to 1000 push-ups 20x HooYaH!!!

Holy cow! Impressive!

Thank you

22m10s with 20m break onto 1000 push-ups o.O glad I did the plank 1st haven't worked out in o er a year..... HarD™KohR HooRaH!!! Feel Good Lookin Good Damnit Man!!!

In the Army this position is called, the front lean rest position. This is the start position of a push up, not a plank.

I did planks while watching this video lol

How old do you have to be to do this

This is my warmup.

Nothing but respect for them ❤️

im probably really good at this particular hold cause when i got into trouble as a kid my dad would make me do this

i want to do one of their 50 hour workshops

Good example of where are they going to... (as a 1st day) :)

Hey but isnt plank like different?

I feel like the water bottle in the middle made it even harder for them

Bud/s or any NSW program is more about muscular endurance than anything else. i.e. your likely to do 25 sets of 3 pull ups as opposed to 2 sets of 35 pull-ups...20 sets of 20 pushups as opposed to one set of 100 push ups

This is a plank??? In the U.K. We have to do it on our radius and ulnas (elbow) which people can only usually hold for 5-10 minutes

I laughed so fucking hard watching this

Every single body has incredible arms

I can't do 15 seconds I swear I'm not even joking

Holy crap!

aren't planks done on the elbow not on the palm ?

Did these people go thru health screening before doing this?

1:37 "Some of you are shaking and shivering" I think it's just that one guy

that's tougher than it looks

The heck. 4 minutes already kill me and I had to distract myself after the third. Is it easier on you palms than forearms?

@SEALFIT WHERE IS THIS SCHOOL

The mind is stronger then the body

awesome

I remember at MCRD in 2000 when I went through boot camp a recruit lied about about making it up the ropes..... he was busted and the junior hat took him and when we got to he squad bay 2 hours later, the recruit was crying and Swartz g and had snot pouring from his nose. Lol man that was funny.

good lord i cant even get in the position before i pass out from the doritos i just killed

I had to do 1minute X 5 All sides, and I thought that was torture

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that the coach looks like Gordon ramsay?

a 45 min plank hold helps in developing the same muscles need to stop your body from shivering in extreme cold environs extending your survivability.

45 mins thats brutal

These individuals have decided to take on something bigger than themselves. To protect and serve our great nation, The United States Of America. And all most of you can do is criticize them. They are knee deep in probably 10 times the amount any of us in this comment section will ever acomplish.Or attempt to accomplish. I mean come on, we're literally in a RU-vid comment section. Have some respect for the real deal, people.

Isnt a plank supose to be so ur on ur arms not ur hands?

Seriously I can't even handle 30 seconds plank... ,😂

I can hold low plank for 1 minute and a few seconds. Can't imagine 45 XD

How can I do this

I hate it when people don't fucking do it right and they think they're good at this shit, while those who do it right have a hard time because they're DOING IT RIGHT DAMNIT

I love the lack of sweat

Is this a part of BUD/S or just training for it?

That dude shaking so hard like me in school

i thought it was a straight 45 min plank! i can do this if you take two breaks.

I don't know why everybody's giving them shit, do a 45 minute plank and tell me if you don't put your butt up in the air
