His scores as a 42 year old male:

>3x trap bar deadlift - 345 pounds
99 points

>Hand release push ups - 41 reps
87 points

>Sprint-Drag-Carry 2:34
62 points

>Plank 3:22
100 points

>2 Mile Run - DNF
0 points

Mr Mike failed the test and scored 348 points out of a possible 500.

Standards listed here.
https://www.army.mil/e2/downloads/rv7/aft/AFT_Scoring_Scales_250601.pdf

Stats summarized here on the old ACFT which had one extra event, the standing power throw.

Subtracting the SPT from their scores the male averages are 417 points for active duty, 380 for national guard, and 375 for reserve. So Mr. Mike scores far below the average fitness of guardsman or reservist.
https://www.military.com/daily-news/how-do-you-measure-heres-how-soldiers-are-scoring-army-combat-fitness-test.html

Mr. Mike says that they should add a long jump and pull ups to the test he failed. What do you think?
>>
He sandbags these sorts of things for whatever reason. I would guess any fit lifter could do them if they really tried
The pylometric stuff seems stupid and pointless. It should be a 405 deadlift, 12 chins, and 2 mile run in 12 minutes

The army fitness standard

This is extremely boring, everyone knows he's Jewish. Stop trying so hard to make your forced meme.

By doing zero cardio, but having 100 pounds of useless roid muscle.

>4pl8 diddly and 12 min 2 mile minimum to get shot out of a cannon for israel
are you fucking retarded LOLLL?

I beat him in every event, scored 126 points above him, and I don't even have a PhD.

Should I not get a PhD?
>>
>>77244184
Why
>>
>>77244110
>>Plank 3:22

That seems pretty good?
>>
>>77244223
That is pretty good.
>>
I was actually throughly entertained by this, it was also very informative. Pretty good stuff.

Also I can see why the average youth can't qualify for the military anymore.
>>
>>77244110
So he mogged them on strength, but sucked all the dicks on cardio? That's pretty much what I would expect of him
>>
why is he such a pussy? why doesn't he just try his best for the video? he must have some kind of humiliation kink
>>
>>77244110
>345 pounds deadlift
>99 points
wtf? 99% of population can't even do 300 one time.
>>
>>77244110
I'm not surprised he can't run, but why is he so fucking weak?
>>
How old is Jocko? Would love to see him do it
>>
>>77244110
>>2 Mile Run - DNF
>0 points
What?
As in he couldn't run for 10-15 minutes? Did he get injured or something, or he literally just didn't have the stamina and had to tap out?
>>
>>77244110

So if he'd have completed the run in a reasonable time he'd have probably scored around the average.
So basically he's a fucking staminlet walking testicle.
Let this be a reminder to you. If you can't fucking run 5k in 25 mins you're not fucking fit by any measure... Doesn't matter how much weight you can lift.
>>
>>77244173
>STOP NOTICING GOY, I DONT LIKE FEELING FOUND OUT!
>>
>>77244399
yeah but i look fit.
>>
>>77244181
Cooper is a 12 minute run though, you will always have a result.
>>
>>77244266
>why is he so fucking weak?
>wondering why bodybuilders are weaker compared to people who train for strength+endurance
it amazes me people still can't tell the difference between all of the disciplines in fitness.
>>
>>77244737
he barely even trains
just takes cattle sized doses of drugs
>>
jewish worship general
>>
>>77244173
I fucking hate jews and I appreciate that anon for reminding the class. Its better for your health to notice.
>>
>>77244110
I don't think he knows how to lift good. I put like 60lbs on my ohp 1rm learning how to pretend like I'm not jumping it or leaning away from the weight. I'm sure there are similar technique hacks for deadlift.
>>
>>77244899
Something about obsessing over Jews makes people lose their minds. It is a genuine monomania.
>>
>>77244110
So it turns out that this muscle man is just a weakling? Thank god.
>>
>>77244911
I thought for a second that he was actually way stronger than me. By a lot.
>>

bent rows with 350 for 8 with probably the strictest form ive ever seen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGIdWBWPTKg
550x2 deficit deadlift

275x8 OHP

These are elite lifts, he was very very strong at one point. You don't just forget how to get and be strong if you've reached these numbers. He just got lazy and has trained like a complete pussy for the past decade letting the gear do all the work
>>
>>77244924
This is somewhat cope, but given everything else he lied about, I don't care about these until I see his comp numbers. I am too lazy to google though.

>>77244110
If nothing else, this should all be incredibly depressing to all lifters insofar that fitness is incredibly specific.

In my magic world, fitness should be universal, you should be able to run 2 in 12 and do 20 pull ups WHILE benching 3 plates and pulling 5, this just doesn't seem to happen irl.

I am very surprised by his plank, I also wonder if he cheated, but I am not giving him a view.

> His scores as a 42 year old male
Anyone "elite" should be judged by the strictest standard, iirc that's the youngest usually.

If I wanted to be a PJ when I am 40, I will be judged at the 18 year old standard.
>>
>>77244986
What is cope? He was very strong 12 years ago and now he isn't. I don't get what you're saying.
>>
>>77244993
I don't even believe he was that strong back then. If I am wrong, I am coping with a complete piece of shit liar being stronger than me.
>>
>>77245012
What do you mean you don't believe it? There are 4 videos of him performing the lifts linked here >>77244924. Are you high or something?
>>
>>77245015
Muh fake plates is the cope I am going for until I see comp numbers. Actually, if he doesn't have comp numbers, then I am genuinely not believing that shit.
>>
>>77244986
>this should all be incredibly depressing to all lifters insofar that fitness is incredibly specific
This is like thinking you should be able to run like a sprinter if you are practicing how to swim. Or be able to do high jumps if you train like a martial artist. Only an absolute dyel would say some stupid shit like this
>>
>>77245021
https://www.youtube.com/@laborwage/videos
There are videos of similar numbers from multiple gyms so your cope is unfortunately not materializing. I hate him too he's insufferable but it is what it is.
>>
>>77245034
Except I hit 2/3/4/5. I am just upset about the lack of carry over. I agree that specialization is specialization, I am saying it sucks dick.

>>77245036
Yea, fair.
>>
>>77244924
He trains like a bodybuilder now not like a powerlifter
People dunk on powerlifters for being "unathletic" but most do a lot of cardio work and sprint. Being a bber means you HAVE to be stiff
>>
>>77245041
>He trains like a bodybuilder now not like a powerlifter
Training like a bodybuilder doesn't mean you leave 7 reps in reserve on each set and then claim bar speed not slowing down is just normal for some people and that it's not indicative that the rep is easy and you're nowhere near failure.
>>
>>77245039
>I am saying it sucks dick
Then go practice the sport if you are so upset about not being able to hit 3s better in basketball. How are you just finding out training for only strength or to look good naked somehow doesn't make you better at sports?
>>
>>77245044
That has little to do with my point and is more about a pseudo intellectual debate between him and the iranian schizo
>>
>>77245050
If he didn't train like a pussy he'd be bigger AND stronger than he is right now. He's proportionally weak for his size because he never pushes and relies on massive amounts of gear to get gains that are disproportional to the effort he puts in.
>>
>>77244110
Why do they bother pretending like they actually broadly apply these standards? Drive by literally any fucking army base, 99.9 percent of servicemen are dyels or fat fucks that can do the bare minimum boot camp requirements. I always laugh when they do these sort of propaganda videos.
>>
>>77245052
Still nothing to do with my point, everyone seriously into bodybuilding is stiff no matter how strong they are and i dont mean it in a "doing splits" kind of way like that spook with long locks but general athleticism
It has nothing to do with "working out like a pussy" moreso than working out in rigid planes with the strictest pathway possible x4 or x5 a week doing the same things over and over without variability or diversification of exercises
>>
>>77244136
>>77244173
yes anon, let's just reduce the size of the military by 99.8% to satisfy the 8 year old in you who believes all soldiers are superheroes and not 19 y/os poor and dumb enough to die for zog. let's train people in distance running and resistance training for a year so they can fold parachutes and cook mess hall gruel
>>
>>77244451
He's very public about being one. Its like pointing out that Ben Shapiro is jewish.
>>
>>77244173
The army fitness standard what?
>>
>>77244924
what is that weird little hump he does before each squat?
>>
>>77244266
The deadlift event maxes out at 345x3. Any higher, you won't get any extra points
>why
Because the army doesn't need you to be particularly strong.
You need to be able to ruck medium to long distances with a 150lb pack and you need to be able to fireman's carry a fellow soldier for a few hundred yards. Any strength past that doesn't really serve any purpose
