Love these videos. I'm disabled but it's fun to watch people push themselves and do things they aren't always accustomed to.
Thank you 🙏 and thanks for watching!
I don’t know your situation, but I do know that God has a better way. Do you know Jesus today? Will you let Jesus change your life? He changed mine. I know Jesus can change yours, too. Please come home to Jesus. It’s not too late. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 KJV
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior today?
@@michaelharris454 Dear Michael. Can you please help me
@@gernotg8480 Hi, do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ?
@@jermaineknight why you asking?
Why have him jog on a busy road? There were no empty lots or parks anywhere? That was crazy.
Bro even a residential area with sidewalks 😂
People think it is easy numbers to hit. Stack the exercises, it can become very difficult withouttraining. Great video. Good guest.
Just passed my first PST: swim 9:08, push up 85, sit-up 73, pull up 21, run 10:23. Putting that run at the end is no joke and is the reason I failed my others. Crazy to see a 38 year old crush it like that.
you’re nowhere near the standards to get a contract kiddo. a 10:23 run? jesus chris that’s pathetic
That's Amazing
I think the cut off age for SEAL eligibility is 30 as well. He’s definitely doing awesome!
Pretty awesome to see both of my favourite channels colab❤️ thank you guys!!
Thanks for watching!
I never understood how the Navy could do their situps that way. It always looked painful. Then again, I can't swim sooo yeah lol
These videos makes our days better
Happy to hear that!! Thanks for watching 🙏
Been waiting for another video like this for a while!
He did great! I was a PTL and his form on everything was better than most guys
Impressive. Personally I’m trying to perform this test myself. (Struggling with swimming & pull ups). But wouldn’t it have been easier to record this at a college campus with a pool and a track field? (Cal Lutheran University maybe)
The more interesting thing would be not to tell him what the minimum score is so that’s keeps them pushing and not quitting after they hit the mark
Love your content Austen, Been a subscriber for a long time and your new content makes me even happier
Hey Joseph. Thank you I really appreciate that 🙏
preaching fitness and inspiring people around the world
yes siiirrr! i just gave up but now i'm back on 😎
Good for this Man, like your video,. Have a happy week.
I qualified for the Olympic trials in the 100 meter breaststroke when I was younger and I can’t ever say I’ve ever swam a 500 breaststroke straight
its not even 500m its 250m
this look like clear 25m lap not 50
The lap was there and back, 25m both ways. 10 * (25*2) = 500
@@nemanjaurisic1895 yh they must have thought it was 50m pool
@@nemanjaurisic1895 it was most likely a shortcourse pool, in which case 25 yards. but its 25 down and back, totals to 500 (yards).
These videos are very interesting, I’m 17 in the dep program right now, I already have my so contract so I’m just waiting to ship pretty soon, love watching these
Same here, what branch and mos
I would love to see you do a fire academy series similar to the state trooper. That would be great
someone needs to teach Nick how to "Max" situps... if you know you know
Love your and nicks content especially recent stuff keep up the work
Thanks Cody 🙏🙏
Love these vids! Question for Nick- does Run gum help your swimming?? Time to make a new product- SWIM gum!!
His form when he runs is Perfect!
I would hope so lmao
What did you expect from a National Champion and Olympic 5th place finisher?
Fantastic video! I love watching your videos and Nick's videos and I'm going to start doing fitness vids on my second channel to see how I compete against you guys.
Thanks!! Excited to see them 👏
Congratulations 🎉 to you
He did EPIC😎
would like to see Nick do a triathlon
Nick Symonds 🐐🐐🐐 of the 800m
You should do a video of how to train for these PST's
Nick again let’s go
8:36 Austen, I don't know about others but I'm from India and I want to join the SWAT equivalent of our country. You've inspired me and it's nice to see an Olympic runner doing less push-ups than me. Thank you Austen and I definitely look forward to join the armed police. Also, since for a couple of jobs there's no physical fitness test (just the medical fitness test), I was doing the Navy SEALS PST. Now that I've applied for a job that has its own PFT, I can focus on that PFT. Thanks once again.
Good luck on dreams!
Awesome.
He crushed it
The exercises remind me of Basic Combat Training at Fort Dix, 10-14-68/10-14-70. I was a red cross water safety instructor before enlisting so the swim would have been easy.The run looked fun but we had to run in full field gear and combat boots ,Combat Engineer Demolition Spec 5.
“You’re not a minimum guy.”
beast mode!!
Dude is a beast at 38 years young
Very interesting
Watching it as a swimmer is kinda fun
These standards are food as a minimum in my opinion. I believe i could pass but its still a good all around. Well done!
Ahh yes… the awkward no eye contact sit up. Good times
Hi Austen! I'm keen to know what was the oldest person you've done this test with? Or will you see what's the oldest person you can persuade to do this test and did they pass it? 😊👍👍
Nice
I am nick symmonds biggest fan!!!! I run a lot though
"His hair smells nice" 😂
You should bring the guys from shift fire onto the battle bunker obstacle course
Man is still a beast at 38 💪🏽🔥
It would be interesting to see Caeleb Dressel attempt this.
bruh, 'attempt'? He's gonna destroy it.
If this man had proper form he'd be a pretty good swimmer too
Nick swam freestyle in HS. he probably doesn’t swim often anymore but this shows a testament to his fitness
His breaststroke time is quite respectable already
I know he passed all the minimums, but it would’ve been nice if you would’ve compared his results to the competitive results that you would actually need to get accepted into the SEAL program. Great job Nick.
Good
proper push ups too
hey can you try the arctic elite military force they say only 1% there is for passing the training and i wanna see if your strong to beat that one.
so you had to do that run in the middle of the road because....?
When’s the CHP academy video coming ??!!
I used to go to high school at oaks Christian
sup
Austen
Uh… nothing was said about the fact that it looks like he ran all UP HILL!!! 👀
My best PST scores to obtain my candidate contract were:
7:50 500 yard swim
85 push ups
92 sit ups
16 pull ups
8:20 1.5 mile run
That’s insane! You ever thought of doing one of those Ironman races? Those are intense. I’ve done one triathlon and I was dying at the end and I’m a runner.
How did you get your swim time so low? My 500 yard breaststroke is 9:40 and I've been training for months.
I still have 2 to 5 months before I ship, but for USMC Recon right now I have:
9:40 swim
50 pushups
60 situps
9 pullups
10 minute 1.5 mile
Obviously these will be much better before I ship lol
@@budgetghostbusters2567 lots of time spent in water I was a runner for a very long time so I spent most of my training doing laps in the pool and calisthenics and watching CZcams videos on mastering the stroke
@@anthonycahalanfitness1580 Lots of laps, got it. Were your scores competitive compared to your peers and did you make it through the pipeline? Thank you.
Yes, my scores were competitive enough to receive a contract.
Dear Nick Symmonds,
We have now required you to join the navy, so see ya in a week.
The navy seals.
3:58 oops, your navy side is showing.
What sunglasses are you both wearing?
Anyone else get this in their recommended page after watching Nick Symmomds video?
The hardest part of this is the run by far... I would have to train for that. The rest I could do in my sleep. The pull-ups would be a little bit of a grinder though after those push-ups.
I'm confused. When the olympic swimmer did the test it was 500 yards of swimming in 12.30min. This time it was 500 METERS of swimming in 12.30. But 500 yards = 457.2 meters. So was there some mistake, did they performe different swims or have I missed something?
It’s suppose to be 500 yards
@@x305HuStLa that was my conclusion aswell
Hm I could probably only do the swim because I am a swimmer, the run I might be able to do if I have enough stamina.
This test is not only for seal, this is all NSW jobs, seal, SWCC, EOD, diver, AIRR. The “ term” navy seal gets tossed around too much.
Video Intro: can he run? Can he swim? Can he do pull ups
*shows him running, swimming and doing pull ups
Did you rent out Oaks Christian high school???
Hey Austin I think u should try the navy seal fitness test your jacked so I think u can do
I have lol it’s a few videos back. And thanks 😁
What happens If you pass the screening test but your scores aren’t competitive enough
You won’t get a contract or a slot in the pipeline
@@AustenAlexander ok thank love your videos
How do I try this test I'm from the uk
I’m a swimmer so all these would be pretty easy I can do pull ups and push ups and everything else the running would be the hardest but I got 7:58 for my mile so I think I would probably be fine
10:30 for 1.5 miles is 7 min pace per mile. If your best mile is 7:58 right now the running part would be nearly impossible considering all these are in a row without much rest.
Yeah but I still have 6 years to gain faster speed because I am 12 so I would probably enter the military at 18 and everybody knows teenagers are faster then kids unless it is the fastest kid in the world or something
Ok of course given 6 years of practice anything is gonna be a lot easier you made it seem like it would be easy for you today
Didn’t watch the video yet, but I
Going. To say, he’s going to crush it. Pull-ups will be weak spot
Decent swim, the combat stroke would probably give him better results on the push-ups Surprised me on the pull-ups. Thought he’d bust out an 8 min run but I guess he had the “F” it moment while running :). He’s enjoying retirement. He broke 4 minutes in the Mile, that’s crazy. Kudos man on that achievement.
So do you have to have competetive scores to be considered for navy seals or do the base scores count aswell? Also what are the competitive scores I'd like to try this out at some point.
It depends on your region and where you test out your PST from. Different regions in the US are more competitive. To make it out of BUDs prep after boot camp you have to do 1000m swim with fins (forget the time) 70 push ups and 60 sit ups(I think), 10 pull ups, can't remember it's been so long. You also have to do a 4 mile run in 31 minutes. It's like a PST on steroids. Not sure if they still do this though, this was in 2013.
@@SpyderRacing thanks. Better info than nothing I need to do a lot more running for stamina and I also need to build strength. I'll be 17 in 8 days and wanna start working out don't have a gym membership so it's just gonna be calisthenics for the next 2 years
@@amazingjoe3635 That's all you need, calisthenics and a 35 to 50 lbs sandbag. Pushups, situps, pull ups, lunges, squats, overhead press + running will get you 90% of the way there. Also need access to a pool. Id shoot for 80 push ups, 80 sit ups, 8:30 on the swim, 8:50 on the run, 20 pull ups. And for a 4 mile I would shoot for 28 minutes.
@@SpyderRacing yeah but I got a long way to go thanks for the info. I just need to get a schedule worked out and find a way to get weight included. Weights aren't really cheap I'll look into a sand bag as I see it being a lot cheaper and easier to work with. As for pool there's a city pool here that I could use or the lake I need to find a job but every place where I live either gives very few work hours or is just terrible to work at. I'll find a place though I might apply to one store tomorrow and see what happens
@@amazingjoe3635 All you need for a sandbag is a trashbag, ducktape and sand. If you can find free sand/dirt somewhere just fill the bag up till it's at the weight you want and wrap the whole thing in ducktape(Shape is like a rectangle). That's how they're made in the military anyways, though in buds you won't be using sandbags, you'll be using a log.
When I was in the army push ups was my game I could do 83 in 2
Were you a ranger
It is easier than Uttarakhand police pet exam
Nick seems like your average enthusiastic clown, but clearly he´s lots more.
🤛🏾
He only swam 10 laps?
Nick did not push himself for the competitive scores I'm kinda disappointed but I do understand that for his age that's quite a feat
Doing each of those tests one after the other would tire out men half his age.
Let the man rest
U can use sidewalks to run

Incorrect pushups
Eh push-ups are bad reps
I've never clicked so fast. 1st
You cannot rest in the down position in sit-ups
Isn’t it the opposite
@@slimshady69 you are allowed to rest in the up position, not the down position... he would have failed because of that
Son unos SEXBABY.Uno de los mejoress conciertos Mañas no 10 se l 💯💞😍
I miss u daddy
It's really no big deal if you are in shape...respectable but nothing insane. Oh, to be 25 again! I've heard Green Team screening is double what BUD/s is and no minimums accepted...now that I can barely comprehend.

False, run can be done in shorts and sneakers
Yeah! NOT IN 1996!! PUSSIFICATION OF AMERICA HAS MADE IT EASIER!! @@imgreedyyy
He did good, but to be competitive he has to do a lot better, people like that would have to train more or passing would be near impossible
How much money you will give if we past this test?😆😆 my 👨 wants win some money form you
That was a 250 meter swim, not a 500. A 500 is 20 laps
Negative. down and back is 50m
a lap is out and back. a length is one way. 20 lengths would be 500. 10 laps is 500
Appeared to be counting every two laps as one.
If I was his proctor he would’ve gotten:
10:47 swim
50 push-ups
44 sit-ups
6 pull-ups
9:06 run
“All veterans cancel Nick Symmonds” 60% of the country are veterans lol that’s part of the reason our country is in such terrible debt. 2 trillion in veteran retirement and disability 95% of veterans that claim full disability have jobs that require extreme lifting it’s a huge joke
There are 17.4 million veterans living in the US with a total population of 328 million which would be closer to 5.3%. Whose the real joke here?
@@foochs 😂 he’s the perfect example of “tell me that you never served, without telling me that you never served” 🤣 but in all seriousness, i know there’s still a lot of dirtbag vets out there who’s still milking the system which is a real problem, i never claimed disability yet, but i might in the future because i have the medical records to backed up my claim, but for now since i can still work & doesn’t need any assistance, i wouldn’t do VA dirty like that 🤣
@@markosibarra5122 when I am president in 10 years I will ensure anyone who claims 50% disability or higher is also not to have a job in this country. Because you are either disabled or you are not stop taking advantage of our country you aren’t a HERO

@@anthony2800 No bitches?
Its important to note that these scores are competitive. So meeting the minimum (passing) does not mean you actually made it do waaay more
