That's me too! I am one of the worst runners, which explains why I would be a paramedic instead of a soldier, firefighter, or police officer! I can lift more weight than I can run! Also paramedics don't run at all in their jobs!
Let me start off by saying i always loved our military,always had a deep respect.But in the time that ive followed u,that respect tripled because now i know what it takes.Yall do this to serve our country and a pension.I never knew tests were this hardcore.Yall do this just so you can keep us safe on homebase.SALUTE
I’ve been training for this for 6 years. Have that 9:30 swim, 100 pushups & situps, 20 pullups, and a 10:15 run. I actually used to be 250+ lbs. changed my life fully. Going to give me dreams a real shot in 2024.
I'm a former Seal and watching this was very nostalgic. I hit a homerun on most things but the pullups. I was a tall, skinny kid lacking upper body strength and while I obviously hit the pullups, I did so barely. However, I did so well in the other areas I was looked at favorably overall. For those thinking of going to BUDS, the absolute best suggestion I can suggest is working on endurance. Of course, you'll want to practice these particular exercises but even if you can't (as in maybe you have no pool access like I did at that time), practice intermittent sprints and other things to build your heart up. TRUST ME! This will help you in the long run. The test is nothing compared to actually showing up at BUDS and keeping up. If you are a weightlifter, stop! The extra muscle will only make your life worse. If you must lift, lots of high rep stuff. Get slim and trim. Look at the difference in the body types between Ryan and Austen. That says it all. Major kudos to Austen. This is no easy test even for those training for this. The dude is big and he pulled it. Big props for putting it on the line for the world to watch Austen. For those of you wanting to go this path... Hooyah!
Going this route and coming up on this soon- used to be the kid who couldn’t do a pushup. Now my numbers blow these out of the water- my secret? Any SEALs. Never quit

GO SARA! 👏🏿 You killed those sit-ups. It seem so many men work so hard to have muscles yet they forget their core. Austen I don't know why you always doubt yourself when it come to running because you always do good. Good job Austen.
Hey Austen, I just want to thank you real quick, for most of my life I have been overweight and very unhappy with my body, in fact quite insecure about it, people used to make jokes about it, then one day I found your CZcams channel, I watched all your military fitness tests and challenges and got inspired to do them myself, I have been doing them for a while and I am seeing huge results already, my biceps a lot bigger and harder, same with my legs and core, I really am happy with my body now and promise to keep it in good condition for as long as I live, I really want to thank you for posting these videos and challenges helping inspire us and giving me a challenge to have my best go at and help other people get their bodies nice and healthy, keep doing what you are doing and don’t listen to anyone who tells you different, rock on mate! P.s: Sorry if this got a little deep 😆
@@batcountryboy93 well I mean after swimming for 10 minutes straight, my arms and legs would be worn out/ strained. I’m pretty sure almost everyone would do better on the push ups and sit ups if they didn’t swim prior but that’s why the seals are the elite.
@@thedecentgamer4358 nope progressive fatigue is a thing. I it's what I had to do and I still got 80 and I went in fat. And it's 10 minutes of rest, your body recovers from maximum effort events in that time, it's certainly plenty of time to rest.
@@batcountryboy93 I agree, I think it takes around 3 minutes for your heart rate to return normal after exercise so yes 10 minutes is plenty of time to rest muscles but if you run 5 miles prior and take a 10 minute rest, your legs will still be tired
@@thedecentgamer4358 I mean I've done it lol I also had to take the human performance test for my selection and that was a 800m swim, 3 mile run right after, deadlift, bench, long jump, pull up, agility run, shuttle run. So I've done this stuff lol, and with a 24% body fat build too
They completely ignored the timed rest periods( 10 min after swim, 2 min after push ups, 2 min after curl ups, unlimited time on pull ups then ten min before the run)
Sarah did great with the sit ups, but in fairness to Austen he has more weight/muscle making him having to pull more up and he just got done with the swim and push ups. All though I’m glad to see Sarah become more comfortable on camera and it’s fun to see her push and challenge Austen to do his best😊👍
Sara is cray in a good way! always brings levity... recently started watching your vids. I really enjoy the "competitive" motivation. I like that you compete against yourself and also bring in others. True competition!
Hi sir, new to the ch. I remember that burn when I first started training! Some tips, saw your running, control your breathing, example MetallicA’s Enter the sandman drum bass breath to that beat and a bit slower for control, two, as you run keep your hands straight out like knifes cutting the air helps with circulation and rhythm. Three, for that heavy leg hold your knee to your chest will take time then no support by hands, then keep leg out straight using different muscles and build strength. As you run also toe raise run to get a feel for being light, you’ll feel like a spring but you’ll get the rhythm down and run lighter. Numbers are always low starting off, but as the weeks go by, see times drop and numbers go up feels great! Max out day suck but when you see your numbers you feel great!!!
@@1ice3690 It’s harder to become a SEAl than the rest of those, their pipeline is longer and tougher, that’s why people prefer say to SEAL for clickbait because people would rather watch SEAL videos than SWCC or EOD or whatever else even though those are badass themselves and tough to get into as well.
Our old platoon commander was a MCIWS. He made our platoon swim damn near everyday and we all had a goal of 500M in under 11 minutes. Way easier said than done, and I am a very good swimmer.
Swim-9:25 Push-ups 73 Sit-ups-53 (need to get that up) but still competitive Pull-ups 15 Run- 9:46 You have to pass two PSTs to get put into the draft and the mentors are more than willing to work with anyone that shows they want a contract even if you do poorly on a PST.
Way to crush it Austen! Sit-ups are rough for us taller folk! lol Impressive that you got all 50 in the first minute basically. Same with the push-ups -- got nearly all 50 in the first minute! Dang man! Well done.
@justalittlebitmo think my best for all of these, despite me being a distance runner in HS, was 62 push-ups in 2 minutes, 64 sit-ups in 2 minutes, 8:36 in 1.5 mi. Run.
pullups take the most time to increase. I just take my maximum and divide it by two, then do 5-6 sets of half max every day 3-4 times per week. Then max again at the end of the week
When doing sit-ups, you're wasting energy when your going back down. You ain't gonna break the ground so just slam your back on the pad and bounce back up.
Good that she has a girlfriend who understands the mental and physical challenges he has ever went through as she is a probably an athlete or traininer herself
@@AustenAlexander ayyy let’s go dude! Can’t wait to be living your life!!! Lol. One can only dream. Just keep having fun and sharing dude. Love watching the journeys
Great job on the test, the sad thing is that because of the manning for Specwar in the Navy your scores don’t even need to be competitive to get a contract anymore, people barely passing the minimum for seal or swcc, ect will get contracts. Which is doing a disservice to that applicant and the community they are trying out for. Cause now they get their contract not as prepared as they could be and the community isn’t getting quality candidates
12:30 seconds is the minimum swim time and 8 minutes is considered a competitive time for seal physical fitness test so 10 minutes is definitely a solid time
All this sort of confirms that the best body for the seal selection is lean since you have better strength to weight ratio. Less drag on swim, easier push ups and pull ups and sit-ups.
Heading to 50 now, smoked since about 15. Following SAS personal trainer by John Lofty Wiseman for almost 20 yrs now & can do these tests except for the swim- just getting back in to it now after not much since I was a kid. Your crunches and pull ups are broken :P Bit too much work on those biceps has got you out of balance? Great vid!
Just a quick content suggestion for future videos. Trying out every military training of different countries and establish comparisons between trainings you're used to.
he had way, way too much break between the exercises.doing one right after another is part of the difficulty. also, he was looking at his watch while running, i don't think that is allowed during the real test. he did well but the break times and being able to see your watch while running makes a huge difference.
We were on our way back from deployment in 1989 when the ship announced that they were looking for a replacement for a rescue swimmer to replace one that was transferring once we got back. We got back to Long Beach thanksgiving week. Those that put their name in the hat were given a Ships pre test 2 weeks later. I got the “Chosen” one. Had 3 weeks to prep, not knowing what to prep for, so I just worked on times and amounts. First day at “School”, there was probably close to 50 people there. Day 2, we had 28. Graduated with 17. What I guess I’m trying to say is forgo the weight room. Work “Isometric” aka body weight. Run, swim, push-ups, curlups and pull-ups multiple times a day. It will pay off in the end. Do that, then you get to do underwater sprints with your dive mask filling up with snot with people screaming at you 🤣💯🤬😎😁
Routinely swam (need to get back into it) a mile for years so would be fine here (could do most of the laps underwater with one breath). It's FAR more difficult than you think. Also, try hauling up 25 pounds (dead weight, no buoyancy) from the bottom of a lake (20 or so feet down). That said, I've seen a number of other Seal tests that I would fail miserably at so not trying to seem like some badass.
Been watching you do these tests for a while! Should totally do the air force special warfare PAST. Little harder in my opinion! I’d do it with you side by side !😂
My buddy just did and passed his screening the 100 push-ups isn’t true 80 is the A tier and the instructor made him stop when he hit 80 though his pull-ups they made him do full upper body pull-ups which he hit 14 out of 15. Not sure if it is different at different places or if they changed some stuff or the past year
For a SEAL contract, since there is a-lot of competition, you need atleast: 9:30 500 yard swim 75 push-ups 75 sit-ups 15 pull-ups 9:30- 1.5 mile run -These are auto qualification scores for the contract, but you may squeak by and get one with a slower run or a slower swim
Im in my third year of college as a juvenile i received a felony for an assault is there any possible way after i get my bachelors i can get a chance to get a SEAL contract maybe a waiver showing i have rehabilitated my self by going to college and gettinf a good score on the asvab and pt test. Thanks.
@gustavo arteaga I’ve seen people get a waiver from their recruiter’s and get a contract it just really depends on how long ago it was and the severity, just be honest with your recruiter because the FBI does a background check on everybody coming through for spec war programs
I think it puts it into perspective to understand this is the MINIMUM of requirements for screening only. For the British Army the 1.5 miles was allowed 11:30 mins, and once in a unit this went to 10:30 mins maximum. For Special forces you're looking at 8:30 mins as an average, and I've seen guys run 1.5 mile in sub 7 mins!
@@Anthony.462 to be fair, we all called him the ‘mutant’ did a lot of running and inevitably became a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) and eventually joined the PTI corps. The first half of basic training concentrated on physical training an endurance, you don’t bulk up as such but a massive emphasis on cardio. I’m no runner, I missed out on that family gene, but my personal best was 8:15 for the mile and a half, felt like I was going to die afterwards! 😂 took ages to calm my breathing and heart down. Nowadays the British army fitness is more tailored to the individual, and their own physiology, less chance injuries, heart attacks cardiac arrest etc. But a decent squaddie can still complete a mile and a half in under 9 mins, hungover, and then light up a smoke!
"I hate running"- Austen , sums up almost everybodys feelings about running
That's me too! I am one of the worst runners, which explains why I would be a paramedic instead of a soldier, firefighter, or police officer! I can lift more weight than I can run! Also paramedics don't run at all in their jobs!

yea hes also insanely strong compared to his weight
so hes fast

On the sidestroke: you can do a flip turn off the wall, and glide underwater half way each length. You can easily take off 2 minutes.

You have pass with a minimum requirement but not a competitive requirement, but still lookin good. A few more training days you can do it. Nice video!

Routinely swam (need to get back into it) a mile for years so would be fine here (could do most of the laps underwater with one breath). It's FAR more difficult than you think. Also, try hauling up 25 pounds (dead weight, no buoyancy) from the bottom of a lake (20 or so feet down).
That said, I've seen a number of other Seal tests that I would fail miserably at so not trying to seem like some badass.
Loved the video 📹
The worst thing no one mentions about the PST is that you cannot wear goggles while swimming. Completely throws you off the first time you do it
I heard from another former seal that its optional
With that mustache, how can you fail? 😂👊🏽🇺🇸
Been watching you do these tests for a while! Should totally do the air force special warfare PAST. Little harder in my opinion! I’d do it with you side by side !😂
I wasn't even paying attention when he did push ups..I was too busy looking at cake!
Everything is interesting and I hope I have a chance to involve on any training before join those interesting test...🙏 to happen
My buddy just did and passed his screening the 100 push-ups isn’t true 80 is the A tier and the instructor made him stop when he hit 80 though his pull-ups they made him do full upper body pull-ups which he hit 14 out of 15. Not sure if it is different at different places or if they changed some stuff or the past year
For a SEAL contract, since there is a-lot of competition, you need atleast:
9:30 500 yard swim
75 push-ups
75 sit-ups
15 pull-ups
9:30- 1.5 mile run
-These are auto qualification scores for the contract, but you may squeak by and get one with a slower run or a slower swim
Im in my third year of college as a juvenile i received a felony for an assault is there any possible way after i get my bachelors i can get a chance to get a SEAL contract maybe a waiver showing i have rehabilitated my self by going to college and gettinf a good score on the asvab and pt test. Thanks.
@gustavo arteaga I’ve seen people get a waiver from their recruiter’s and get a contract it just really depends on how long ago it was and the severity, just be honest with your recruiter because the FBI does a background check on everybody coming through for spec war programs
@@patrickdayton7782 sounds good I appreicate the feed back.
@Gustavo Arteaga No problem man, goodluck!!
my pst: push -ups:130, sit-ups: 60, pull-ups: 25, 1.5 mile run: 9:00 , 500 yard swim: 8:59. your take on this?
I think it puts it into perspective to understand this is the MINIMUM of requirements for screening only. For the British Army the 1.5 miles was allowed 11:30 mins, and once in a unit this went to 10:30 mins maximum. For Special forces you're looking at 8:30 mins as an average, and I've seen guys run 1.5 mile in sub 7 mins!
Cap
@@juanmendoza2746 nope, genuinely!
1.5 in 7 mins is crazy fast. I don’t doubt it tho the level of conditioning soldiers get at is crazy
@@Anthony.462 to be fair, we all called him the ‘mutant’ did a lot of running and inevitably became a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) and eventually joined the PTI corps. The first half of basic training concentrated on physical training an endurance, you don’t bulk up as such but a massive emphasis on cardio. I’m no runner, I missed out on that family gene, but my personal best was 8:15 for the mile and a half, felt like I was going to die afterwards! 😂 took ages to calm my breathing and heart down.
Nowadays the British army fitness is more tailored to the individual, and their own physiology, less chance injuries, heart attacks cardiac arrest etc. But a decent squaddie can still complete a mile and a half in under 9 mins, hungover, and then light up a smoke!
She crushed the sit-ups! 😂
