looks like he's gonna roast me but it's okay i'm gonna do my best shot let's rock and roll
hey everybody bk here former air force pararescueman and i'm here today to give
austin alexander a physical agility and stamina test this is the first test on the path to
becoming an air force special warfare operator let's see what he's got all right austin first
event is the pull-ups and we're gonna do as many pull-ups as possible if your feet come and hit off
the ground or if you let go of the bar the event is over we've got some gazimo and the grass in the
background so if you guys hear the lawnmower don't roast me in the comments i'm gonna start like this
and we're gonna go up and over chin over the bar down easy okay minimum eight minimum of eight we
want a lot more than that though i would say to be competitive you're gonna wanna hit at least
14. prepare to mount the bar mount the bar and hang begin one two three nine keep it going
that's ten let's go you got a few more get up get up i'll count that 12.
got one more come on you got it get up austin all right 12 good ones though it was pretty good
good job more than i thought i could do all right so the this next rest is for two minutes and then
we're going into push-ups yep this is the push-up it's all the way up all the way down uh no butt in
the air nothing like that we're gonna go regular push-up straight back we're gonna go down one
down two copy that okay no there's none of this there's no resting in the air if you
want to the only authorized rest position is the starting position this is the starting position
so if you got to take a minute that's fine but then go back to work
and do it okay got you and you have two minutes to do this exercise as many as you can ready go
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

and that's a conclusion 57 push-ups just to the deck ruined me probably should have
been a little more conservative on those those push-ups i'm going to go ahead and take a lay
yeah you got you got a minute and 10 seconds to rest
all right start getting focused austin all right so for air force special warfare for pear rescue
we do sit ups where i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm going to hold your ankles you get two minutes
you have to lace your fingers behind your head the fingers cannot come unlaced that's different
and it's going to be basically very simple you're going to be laying this is the starting position
and when i say go you're going to come up one okay you want your body all the way at least at
least uh perpendicular to the ground okay keep your fingers on your lace behind your head and
i'll be holding your ankles give you a little bit more support on that i've never done a test
where my fingers are locked behind my head i'm usually doing collars that's the navy yeah the
navy does that but in the air force they still do it old-timey uh if you don't don't rest on a
laid-back if you rest more than like a second or two they'd call the test so get once you get down
your back hits the ground get right back up okay all right we got two minutes i'm gonna hold your
ankles interlace your fingers behind your head ready go one all the way up two there you go three
four five fourteen thirty seconds gone fifteen 16 21 don't lay on the ground let's go 22

strong all right 30 minutes 30 minutes and then walk starts now we'll go to the swims underwater
let's get to that pool when i got to the navy you know i was like blindsided by a bunch of stuff
you know how it is you know coming out having to develop my own schedule having to pretty like kind
of reestablish relationships with people and form new relations people it's not it's it's completely
different and i gained a little weight last year over the course of october november december
january february kind of stressing stressing about the conversion out of the navy and
and everything but april may came around and i feel like i came back strong i'm down about 20
pounds now doing these tests running a lot more and it's people like you that that comes here and
helps me get into the zone and helps legitimately train me so i appreciate you a lot for coming out

way to push it out at the end taking the the physical agility and stamina test for the air
force unofficially actually because i'm not trying to go into any branch or this doesn't qualify me
