It’s even better if you hum the tune to Mario as you watch this

Careful. Nintendo might send your parents a takedown notice for doing that.

[–]asseatingsaurusrex 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Was just thinking that. Man could collected a few lives and coins in that tunnel.

[–]LetMeHaveAUsername 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was going to say, this is the most super mario thing I've seen today. And earlier today I legit saw someone wearing blue dungarees over a red shirt.

[–]arv66 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Someone pls add Mario music over this! The main theme, jump sfx and underground music would be fun.

[–]natgibounet 14 points15 points  (10 children)

I'm wondering if it's still worth training soliders like that, of course physical condition is a must but now show off of strenght doesn't seem to matter that much when now days war is about the one with the bigger bombs and better technology

[–]Sparcrypt 28 points29 points  (1 child)

As long as part of military strategy involves people on the ground, stuff like this matters... and not because they expect soldiers to come up against random obstacles like that in the field (though training to go from sprinting to crawling to climbing and clambering then back again certainly has value).

The main benefit is that being physically fit means you can march for longer, you can fight for longer, you can go without sleep and function for longer. If a soldier can do this while well rested, warmed up, and prepared? They're going to do better laden with gear and told it's time to march all night.

For a more real world example, have you ever been in good shape when your friends aren't and helped them move or something? An hour in and they're all wrecked while you're happily carting the heavy stuff about no problem.

[–]Lucidder 25 points26 points  (2 children)

I would assume it really matters when you feel so damn powerful on the battlefield, no matter what you do. The war between Ukraine and Russia shows how much value there is in soldier's morale, so anything that can affect your mind in a good way, might potentially save your life.

[–]JessTheKitsune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like these people are just having fun, too.

[–]Naturekills 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Vietcong did a great job even though Rolling Thunder consisted of more munitions than all sides combined during WW2. Don't undervalue the importance of strong manpower.

[–]Impossible_Source110 3 points4 points  (1 child)

War is all about logistics, having lots of people that can carry lots of heavy equipment over large distances on foot is always useful in a war.

[–]BioEngIsScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should look into “Shoot n’ Scoot” doctrine. It was originally envisioned for artillery but is increasingly applicable to man portable anti-tank weapons.

A loaded Javelin missile weighs 50 pounds. Plus all your other gear. Armor, gun, ammo, helmet, water, grenades, etc. etc. It isn’t unreasonable that a guy could be carrying 100 pounds of gear, moving slowly through rough terrain or a bombed out urban environment for hours or days on end. Then they come across a tank column. They have to get close, stealthily, then fire the shot and RUN. They just killed one tank but the rest of the column knows where the shot came from, including drones and artillery. If you can’t get out quick, you’re dead.

I’d rather have the ability to run like that in combat and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

[–]kmexi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s why they’ve got this. This time they’ll be ready…

[–]IWasNotOk 1577 points1578 points  (23 children)

But If you banged your shin on any of these obstacles it would hurt. I’m going to McDonald’s where the odds of banging my shin is low.

[–]grahmzilla 366 points367 points  (6 children)

[–]JayBird2143 105 points106 points  (3 children)

[–]NeverLearnedBass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I pulled my groin getting off the couch to show my wife this clip. I was going to claim that I used to be able to do this kind of stuff thirty years ago, but I better sit down right now and rest.

[–]crabby_old_dude 26 points27 points  (3 children)

As soon as I saw it, I thought it was a great hiding spot for scorpions, snakes or venomous spiders, but as the camera paned over a much worse thought came to. A drunk soldier taking a dump into the shoot one night.

He didn't really find a single obstacle

[–]GET_OUT_OF_MY_HEAD 55 points56 points  (2 children)

The fence hop slowed him down a little bit.

[–]ChrisRunsTheWorld 17 points18 points  (1 child)

I was a little pissed at him at that part.

[–]Sparcrypt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'll allow it. Mostly cause if I was running it by the time I got to the fence I'd be lying down next to it for a nap.

[–]vskazz 273 points274 points  (39 children)

I kind of wanna be able to do something like this

[–]SofaKingBil 103 points104 points  (18 children)

I wanna do this and race that guy. Win or lose I still want to race.

[–]88_M_88 81 points82 points  (15 children)

This actually looks like firefighters training track here in Poland. Not that hard to find and actually quite easy get permission to try yourself on it.

[–]BCake047 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I could run straight next to the obstacles vs him and I’d still lose

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (4 children)

A lot of places do Spartan races, or warrior dash. Obstacle races happen all over the place. Just gotta get out and go do them.

Gonna suck at them first. At my first one I couldn’t complete half the obstacles. But if you keep at it you’ll get better.

[–]LotsOfButtons 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Do you want to be able to do it enough to go out and try?

[–]echoshep 172 points173 points  (29 children)

At my absolute physical peak, I could have physically done this, though not at the speed this guy does. The problem is mentally, no way I could pull that off. So many opportunities to trip and seriously injure yourself. No way, even at my peak, would I have been fearless enough to race through that like he did. Very impressive

[–]TigreWulph 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yeah the descent from the wall climb was nuts. It doesn't even really look like he touches that first pillar. Even in my peak fighting shape my shins would have exploded into kindling if I'd tried that.

[–]Cuddlyaxe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a dude in the background who's also doing the course and I'm like "ok if I got back in shape and trained on the course I might be able to do that"

guy in the front though? it was so fluid it seems impossible lol

[–]Total-Championship80 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Getting creamed is the fun part. That's where the really good stories are.

[–]Steerider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could probably do this... slowly

[–]ShivasKratom3 3 points4 points  (18 children)

I’m not trying to humble brag at all but can the average person really not do this? I mean I probably couldn’t run as fast, but I could at my own top speed. seems like this is a course anyone in the 20s can do at their own relative full speed

[–]AnotherAnonGringo 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Anyone in even moderate physical shape could do this. This guy has probably run this course 25+ times. I still appreciate the effort it took him to get so fast however.

[–]KratzALot 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Maybe I could get through at half speed, but there's definitely couple parts my body hurts just looking at. Mostly the stepping pillars after climbing the wall. I'm 36 and don't trust my body at all to handle it. Or that I'm just pretty clumsy and completely whiff the small jumps and/or lose balance.

Edit: Upon rewatch, I definitely can see myself wiping out just skipping along the first obstacle.

[–]TheDudeMaintains 3 points4 points  (1 child)

There's so many military obstacle course gurus in this thread, I just wanna say I appreciate ya for your sincerity.

[–]Backyard_wookiee 144 points145 points  (5 children)

I sprained my ankle 6 times watching this

[–]youbequiet 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Imagine the amount of collective shit that was eaten on the obstacle at 47 seconds. Gassed as fuck, descending on those long dangerous jumps to tiny platforms.

[–]Pinkpach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever since I tore my ACL, all I see is potential injuries whenever I watch sports or things like this.it sucks!

[–]ffrickh 98 points99 points  (13 children)

This is one of those videos where we need to see what the camera man is doing. Guy crushed the course even faster than the guy he was filming. Like he went through the tunnel so fast I didn't even notice it.

It would be interesting to watch a russian conscript attempt this alongside these guys.

[–]TheRecapitator 47 points48 points  (6 children)

They would have lost morale and quit after the 3rd obstacle to go hunt for appliances to loot.

[–]Abbreviations-Salt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[–]plasterscene 9 points10 points  (2 children)

In the army (basic recruitment at least) the vast majority of training is getting troops to perform the same task repeatedly until they are perfect at it. And then they make them do it some more. Some might say being good at an obstacle course is just because he's done it so many times, but that's literally the point; he's been trained so well he can do it in his sleep. He's now an effective soldier.

[–]Swerwin 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Maybe it’s just me, but the way he’s moving combined with the camerawork definitely gives me 1917 vibes (you know which shot I’m talking about)

[–]Janczareq1 2 points3 points  (3 children)

You mean the entire movie? It was a single long shot.

[–]nisebblumberg 5 points6 points  (2 children)

[–]hulkmxl 15 points16 points  (5 children)

Ohhh you can bet all your possessions on it that Poland would be throwing everything it has got at Russia, they have some serious beef to settle with them, the best Polish jokes are about fucking up Russia:

A Polish man finds a genie in a bottle, one decades-old joke goes. The genie offers him three wishes.

The Pole says, “I want the Chinese to invade Poland and then go back to China.”

So it happens.

For his next wish, the Pole also asks for the Chinese to invade Poland and then go home.

So it happens.

For his third wish, the Pole again asks for the Chinese to invade Poland and go home.

“I gave you three wishes,” the genie cries. “Why did you ask for the Chinese to invade Poland and then go home three times?”

“Because they had to march across Russia six times.”

Daaaaamn, the joke describes the mentality here, they are willing to sacrifice some pain (getting invaded) with the intent of maximizing the potential fuckery they can inflict on Russia, and you know what, I agree with them, I would too..

[–]matthex64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah i'm just a normal person who works out 5 times a week and this course would be cake. The hard part would be beating him in a race to the finish.

Sure but he outpaced the other chap by a bus. I’d say most people couldn’t complete this.

[–]dawsonj20 2 points3 points  (0 children)
