    Dude are you sure you’re ready to commit to army basic training?? That’s like almost half a year. In exchange for 200,000 likes on this video? Seems out of proportion. Would the army even let you go through boot camp without an enlistment? Seems like a major liability for them. There must be something I’m missing.

    I could absolutely do this obstacle course. I was in the active Marine corps from 2000 - 2004 always got a high 1st class Physical Fitness Test. I use to do very similar courses with weapons and ammunition... I believe I could still do this course efficiently at my age of 43...😂

    To finish the Army Infantry course (before you even go through Ranger Assessment and Selection) the final test was the "Field Training Exercise", using all skills learned, during a week long excursion that culminated with an 18 miler with full ruck and equipment. Even the Expert Infantry Badge requires a 12 Miler with 60 pound ruck in 3 hours or less with a functions check of your service rifle. If you mess up your functions check, you have to repeat the 12 miler and functions check again

    Hey guys, genuine question because you’d probably know more about this than I do. I saw Austen downing that fuel drink with 140mg of caffeine, and my friend told me that consuming caffeine before going on a run can cause a heart attack. Was is dangerous to consume this drink before going on the obstacle course? Austen, mad respect to you man. I appreciate your willingness to share your strengths as well as weaknesses. It’s way more encouraging than just showing what you can do. Watching your videos helps me get through my little treadmill runs. Love suffering with you brother. Thank you.

    • @nickkirchoff1872
      @nickkirchoff1872 4 години тому

      It wont cause a heart attack unless you're consuming an EXCESSIVE amount of caffeine and doing very high intensity exercise. Even then, the odds of a full blown heart attack are pretty low. I would try not to worry about it too much haha! If you are about to do exercise that is going to spike your heart rate, consuming a ton of caffeine really isn't a going to benefit you in any way. If you must have caffeine before your cardio, keep it low. Under 100mg. In his case, it really isnt dangerous most likely because he is a bigger dude, in shape, and most likely has a high tolerance for caffeine. He drank it mainly due to a sponsorship and him promoting the product. Hope this helped !

      Hello! I am pretty caffeine sensitive. I used to be that guy who'd down 300mg of caffeine before a heavy leg day or workout...not anymore lol at 150mg or below I am good during any intense exercise. It really helps blunt the effects of training on your nervous system, like a cushion. My best advice is to start with half of a serving or maybe up to 100mg, to see how you feel during a workout. I'd never recommend anything over 150mg (personally) although I know some guys that will slam 300mg or more and do an intense workouts. Hope this helps! Thanks for your support and thanks for watching!
