Yeah, push-ups were just utter crap. That's what happens when you go with quantity over quality - try doing quality push-ups, you'd do way less because you'd be doing them properly, all the way.

Half of them? I didn’t see a single proper push-up, the guy cheated from rep one. Same with the sit-ups. Maybe on or two good pull-ups. Maybe.

Not really... He is hugely fit for his age, probably more then even any olympians, but there is a reason why people can only waiver to do this test to enter while max 30-31. Even if you keep a body as in shape as you can, age does not change that it would be difficult to keep up the requirement. He could pass it, but crush it is really too much. Imagine that people who lived breathe for this a big part of their life, the elite of this training cannot do it at this age.

@@opscore92 I found it common to have that form amongst swimmers

@1 for his age his run was pretty solid. He hit 9 Kipling pull-ups. He’s an Olympic athlete, give him a month and a great pull-up workout and he’d meet/exceed the standard. I don’t think he prepared specifically for this. He just did it based on his current workout regimen which clearly includes a lot of swimming. But if he concentrated on pull-up, push-ups, and run he’d do really well.

@1 like I said I think he got 9. I think he’d be good for 12-15 strict pull-ups in a month. Run could have been faster but ain’t a spring chicken either. Most guys trying out for BUDS are 22-26 years old. It’s a young mans game.

I'm one of your subscribers. How fun to see you over on this channel!

I have a friend that was an Olympic swimmer. He never medaled or anything but he made it to the games and competed on a world level for years. We are about the age of Rogan now, maybe 4 or 5 years older. In everyday life he’s the most low key ever. But once you put him in some sort of athletic situation his training takes over (both mental and physical) and he’s usually the most naturally skilled one out there, no matter what the sport. He’s also ultra competitive, but not in a cocky dickhead way. He takes it more as a personal challenge to be the best and basically kicks into this mode of “unh huh, not today, you’re not going to beat me today.” It’s incredible - thousands of hours of training to build confidence and drive that will never go away his entire life.

Wasn't even close to going as close to the ground though..

He didnt do it properly

And if he had training for the tests

@@rebeccafoster-faith6647 Just make sure the ordinary human takes drugs. Most Olympian’s use performance drugs so don’t tell me that doesn’t help them recover faster. They are able to fit in 3 to 4 workouts in a day just look at why Michael Phelps got where he was in his prime, because of drugs and also lots of good food. I’m not saying this dude used drugs, but the sport world is full of them so something to think before we put any ordinary human with the sharks

Agreed on the mental toughness thing. I have a pretty good friend, she was a neighbor of mine growing up, who is an Olympic gold medalist swimmer. I know how hard she trained from childhood to make it happen. She also failed to make the Olympic team several times before she finally made. It was heartbreaking to see her get so close every four years during the Olympic trials, but she never gave up. I remember watching the Olympic trials on TV when she finally made it, and watching the emotional outpouring was amazing (I was cheering out loud for her). Seeing her win gold a month later was so much fun. But yeah, the perseverance she had to keep going back and trying was inspiring.

I wondered if anyone else noticed. haha

The run, push-ups, pull-ups, and sit ups are standard PFT exercises. The swim isn't part of the PFT but a swim qual is required for both Navy and Marine personnel. This is easier to do than a Marine Corps PFT with the exception of the minimum pull-ups (6 vs 10). The swim has to be the biggest disqualifier if people actually need 3-4 attempts at this.
