The United Stater Marines are TOUGH! It was an honor to visit Camp Pendleton and train with them for a day. In this video we attempted the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and the Combat Fitness Test (CTF). Normally these are done six months apart, we did them BACK TO BACK!

Which did you find more impressive: the all out 3 mile or the 800m in boots? Also how impressive is Corporal Kubinski?? He's a true competitor and a very impressive athlete. He's on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/zjonti.k
I served 4 years in the USMC Infantry as an
0311 rifleman. Now I’m not trying to take anything away from the Marines in this video, they are all my brothers as well, but I’ve seen Marines run sub 18’s after drinking all night. I’ve seen a low 17’s runner light up a cigarette immediately after finishing the 3 mile run. I think we even had runners in the mid to upper 15’s range. Great video Nick, see if you could make it over to the infantry side of the base or even against recon or SS (scout sniper).
I am 11 and my best sit-ups in 2 minute is only 118 my goal is 120 by the end of October ?
Used to do the CFT at this exact track lol (paige fieldhouse) not a good time
Omg Kubinski I went to boot camp with him congrats
Correction it’s *880
My coach made our team do some of this with marines at football practice it was horrid ?
Shout out to the USMC!!!!!
gunny needs a copenhagen
Gotta try this in okinawa
0:15
Good job Fellas.
Stay Sharp
Stay Smart
the ammolifts the marine guy hes not doing it right.. Nick is going all the way down for perfect reps, the Marine is stopping at his chin not under it, so that doesnt count
this is surprisingly similar to the test my martial arts teacher made us do for the conditioning part of our black belt test
Ayy I graduated boot with Robles
Got 3 minutes in maneuver under fire and 150 ammo crate presses
That 800 was godlike.
When I was like 7 I did 5 min and 40 seconds now I can do 2 min
Im run 2 miles for 12minuts
LCPL Chamblis’s we were in the same BootCamp platoon and mct that’s my boy lol
I can’t stand to watch people run long distances after one year my school made me run 800 meters when we were like 10-12 with bad training, like no training just pace yourself and don’t give up
Damn kubinski is an actual monster. He has so much endurance throughout the whole thing and he clearly is using the best of his abilities all the way through.
The 800 m is probably my least favorite of any distance that I've ever ran.
Is that really acceptable form for the sit-ups? The chair force has stricter requirements for form on the crunches. That's crazy.
Oohrah. Semper Fi 04-08 1371
Kibinski is an absolute UNIT
so wtf dos shoes have to do with this? i dont get it… shure combat boots weigh more (maybe 200g ?/ boot) but still…
They should were spikes in to battle bc it is easy to run in and you can kick people
For my meritorious Sergeants board I was told the day before the event that I had to run a PFT and CFT back to back. It was no easy task. Ended up with a 298 and a 300 respectively. Props to you for giving this a go and doing so well with it.
Try british army❤️
This guy is good at running :0
How bad was it?
That’s pretty bad ?
It's alot easier doing pullups when a person weight is 145 pounds
Not really fair on your side. These boys they are young and they are in their prime. Not to say that u are old, but someone in their late 30s arent going to be as strong as they are in their 20s.
COOL
The entire thing is different when you change the clothing entirely as well. You seemed to be doing that in your usual workout gear, and the CFT is done in our usual work stuff. Hits a lot harder, different pinch points, and breathing. If you want rough, give that a run but either way. In NO fashion can I undermine how well you did. It was great to see you experience this and I am so glad you got to, and pushed as hard as you did.
Kubinski is so impressive
Out of every nick symmonds video, this is one of them
