  • "IN" 85 USMC I did the required pull-ups: 25, instead for show-off I had to stop at 40. And he's fu*k**g w/ number ten. I wonder if he could beat me in 3 mile run at my best time 16:23. Well Special Forces, Rangers, & SEAL couldn't. Oh well.

  • Its 4, not 10

  • Is that a joke? :D

  • Good to see some proper chin ups on youtube (in stead of rocking up and down like so many others)!

  • BALLAYER ET SARPIER CEST L ENTRAINEMENT DE LEGGIONAIRRE.

  • i bet he was sore for a whole week after doing that haha.

  • lol this guy is not a legionnaire, He look like an american soldier : just a little fat and doesn't get determination ;)

  • @me1004me1004

    I'm a Brit, and there's no greater haters of the French then the Brits! Now that does not mean I don't respect them, I respect them more than any other country (except perhaps Russia). Also please note that many of the French Foreign Legion, are in fact, not french. I think there's a clue in the title?

    @hugglebear69

    On a different note what do you have to get on the bleep test in pre-selection? I'm currently running 13.2 but improving all the time!

    Thanks for the video mate! :D

  • The most people I know cant do even a couple

  • I dont think this guy has been in the french foriegn legion as he never shown any of his photos. You would think if he was the real deal he would a least show a video or photos. Any preson can do some chin ups with a shirt off. Most people that have been there would not sit in front of the camera unless it was a documentary officially or at least with uniform on french foriegn legion base unofficially. Doing to the chin ups at the age fourty is pretty poor efort for a ex legion.

  • u suck i can to 16

  • I find it funy how every sad civvi can gob off about the legion you will not know fuck all untill u try it and do it for urself! U all have no idea what use are talking about, get a fucking Grip u bunch of oxygen wasting pricks... Nous sommes les hommes du gaurre, vous ete rien, vous ete meme pas les shit de sous mes rangers! Airborne forever......

  • that was poor

  • Awesome, just awesome. Well done.

  • lool

  • Most of the silly little pricks here that think they can do 20-40 pullups......can't.

    The can do 20-40 half motion kipping spastic pull ups. This guy is trying to do proper pull ups at age 40. Give him a break.

  • atm im at pull ups: 5 chin ups: 25

    aiming 30 chin ups and 7 pull ups by christmas

  • @MrAlfonzo93 - Where do you make the distinction between pull and chin ups. Do you mean over and/or under hand?

    Either way, it's looking good. Well done!!!

  • @hugglebear69 pull ups i class as over hand and chin ups underhand, btw im going for royal marines im not brave enough for the legion, give it a few years and a few hard blows to the head and ill consider it : P

  • @MrAlfonzo93 - My Advice:

    Quit training on Chin Ups! You'll always be able to do more under, than over hand. Always train overhand and the underhand will take care of itself. Also, do it after a run!

    You have the right attitude

    1. You're not just talkin' but already doin! Good sign. 5x *****

    2. You've evaluated your performance, decided on improvement and set goals. 5x*****

    3. You're asking advice from people who can help you! No point asking the Brick maker about Jewellery! 5x*****

  • @MrAlfonzo93 I think either way is good and brave, good luck!!

  • That is it ? Are you a fag, or all the french army are a bunch of fags?

    You've got do it at least 20 times in the U.S. army for the fitness test... Fag Frech

  • @me1004me1004 - Part 1.

    Hi! Thanks soooo much for your input on my video about FFL Fitness.

    To answer your question..... Yes, THAT was it...!!! No, I'm not a fag...! Again no, I don't think all Soldiers in the French Army are Fags....I Exactly what the requirements are for the U.S. Army, Marine Corps or even the Navy Seals for that matter. I have absolutely no idea. Why? Because of the difference between you and me.... I, talk about what I know...

  • Part 2.

    It's o.k. though I understand. I was young once too! Of course, in those days we didn't have "Internet" lol. Strangely enough, we didn't have "lol" either..... :-)... Or smiley faces!!! Anyway, what we did have was.... Doorbells!!! Yup! And we rang 'em, and then run away!!!! Oh, such fun!!!! Well, Youtube is the modern day doorbell! I get it! Really, I do!!!! Ha ha funny funny. Sure, no problem. But know this..... One day you'll get laid, and it'll ALL change!

  • Part 3.

    You'll find much more fun in.... Grown Up games! :-))) Trouble is, with Adulthood comes responsibility. Death etc...!!!! It's a big world out there kiddo', and much of it is bad! Trust me..... I know! So, yeah, go ahead VIRGIN, ring my "bell"!!!

    *I remember now why I put my comments option to "Approval Only"! Thank you for confirming my decision. :-)

  • @me1004me1004 you do realize this man would tear you a new asshole were you face to face. Tell ya what tough guy,stop nursing from mommy's nips and join up.As a combat vet I say for those who have served,you have my respect. Well done Bear! We know the first bullet fired in his direction would leave him with shitty pants. Peace

  • @me1004me1004 lol 20 dead hang pulls for basic in the us army? ur a MORON, army fitness test is the most basic test in the world, some fo the recruits can not even do 2 pull ups, and they still graduate boot

  • @me1004me1004

    Actually, the US army requires ZERO pullups. They only have to do 42 pushups (lol) to pass.

  • nice lats

  • I hated doing these after a nice run before breakfast. However i was very accomplished at doing push ups and picking up cigarette buts! The best time of my life although i didnt realise it at the time. R.I.P. Alex you were a good friend and i shall never forget.

  • LOL

  • LOL, only 8 pull-ups and 2 half-pull-ups... I am not legionar, but I´m much more better!

  • @Lesumir69 - You'll be posting your response video soon then!???

  • @hugglebear69 Nice video, 8 real pull ups, passed.

    The idiots commenting on this video claiming to be able to do alot more must be extremely fit, or probably never even seen a pullup bar in their entire 15 year old lifes and no doubt can not even hold their own body weight :)

  • good idea is to do pullups right after run, thats the way you do it in selection, depending on how hard you try in running you might be capable of doing only 50% of your norm, though dont waste to much time tryng to get your body in shape, just enough to pass tests, heres what probaly get you pass: peep lvl 8, 8 pullups and climb rope 1 time

  • @vendla1 - VERY good suggestion.

    Take note ALL potential candidates. It makes a hell of a difference climbing a rope/pull ups AFTER a run. Talk about arms of jelly!!!! 5 star comment vendla. Thanks for your input!

  • i want to join but i cant even do one pullup but i have great cardio, do you have any suggestions on how to strengthen my upper body so i can do atleast 7 pullup

  • @HerroHerrar Get a spotter. Have your spotter hold your feet on his chest while you are on a pull up bar in base position so that you can assist your pull up with your legs when needed, do as many as you can for about two weeks, then, you should be able to do a few pull ups without a spotter. Now, begin doing several sets of your max number of reps once every day. after only a week or two of this, you should be able to do ten pull ups easy.

  • @infantrypfc EEEY thanks marine, really appreciate your reply

  • @HerroHerrar I am a infantry soldier, not a marine. You are welcome, good luck, hope to see you there!

  • @infantrypfc - A spotter or partner to workout with, is a good idea on a number of levels (motivation, form or correct execution of exercise, pause between reps etc...)

    Though do be careful not to push with your legs against the spotter. This is an arm/ shoulder/ back exercise. Isolate or focus on these muscles in your mind during the pull up.

    If you are on your own though, use a chair and start in the "Up" position. Hold for as long as possible, SLOWLY descending, and repeat.

    GOAL: 6x6

  • ok 4 is minimum, but like u might already be tired and then hav to do 4, so your max wud need to be higher as the man sed.

    btw thats an achievement on its own being in the legion

  • It says you only gotta' be able to do 4 on the website to get in....

  • @ShitMovies2000 - You're absolutely right!!! 4 overhand pull ups is all that is required, but 10 more the norm.

    What's really funny is the abuse I receive here just because I want to share my experiences with the world!!!!..... Go figure!

  • @hugglebear69 Yeah the more the better of course, 4 is a MINIMUM requirement.

    How many do you think a normal person of 17 years old should be able to do?

  • @ShitMovies2000 - In todays "Playstation" society I'd honestly be happy if the average 17 yr old could do ANY!!!!

    However, I think that 10 is a fair and reasonable achievement. I once read in Men's Health (I believe), that... "If you can do 10, you can consider yourself a strong guy!". Well, pull ups alone "maketh not a strong man!"....but 10 is a good number!

  • @hugglebear69 i play ps3 and i do weight lifting but 10 is easy , i think where you read that from is a way way underachievement don't you?

  • @Oster910 - You make my point exactly. At 16 you SHOULD find 10 easy, but trust me, at 40 things get a little harder. Kudos to you for keeping your life in balance. Keep it up!!!

  • @Oster910 im about to attempt for 40

  • @Oster910 idiot i bet you do the standerd bicep pull up he is doing lat pullup

  • @Victim6889 - Thanks so much for your considered input! ;-)

  • i do 10 with 20 kg additional weight on my body, this is the best way to train yourself. try it, add some kg more every week and try to do 10 - 12 lift-ups and lifting up your own weight 20 times is not a problem anymore.

  • @sleepovernightmare - Hi, and thanks for the tip! I imagine the safest place to put extra weight, is around the upper body!? WDYT?

    I personally stay away from weights, for fear of injury. I'm always looking for ways to exercise with just my bodyweight and gravity. Though I believe your method to be very effective.

  • @hugglebear69 hey, i put the weight to a special belt that i wear. either one you get in a gym, those that are used by professionals or a simple leather belt with an additional rope or something (creativity is the key ;) )

    your training philosophy is probably the most healthy, as you can't fry your cns. it always depends on the aim you've got. if you wan't to get real strong (like 220 lbs benchpress and stuff) there's no other option :) muscle growth is rather caused by big weight than many reps

  • Ce qui a à voir avec la Légion étrangère?

  • @persenko009 - Salut, Je suis desole, ma Francaise n'est pas aussi bien qu'avant. Pour entre au Legion, il faut faire quattre tractions. Mais Dix fois et bien vue.

  • Your not legionnaire nor were you ever. Where is the proof?

  • im moving to toulouse france in october for at least 5 years..im thiking about learning french first then trying to join...i tryed joinging the british army but they wernt haveing it as my medical recoreds had a cocaine overdose on...u live and learn

  • Not a legionnaire. ex-US Navy. The highest i ever got was 16. right now i stopped for 2 weeks. right now 11 is my average :(

    Raikavino could apparently kick my ass.

    Was recently stationed in Djibouti and sometimes worked with 13 DBLE. Thought about joining myself. Any thoughts?

  • @Rac665 - Hi, and congrats on surviving Djibouti :) Personally, I'd say kick back and enjoy civvi life, let someone else get shot for the glory!!!

  • oi dickead get a life

  • You are lacking on one thing that all legionnaires(former and current) must remember:

    Article 5

    You are an elite soldier who is rigorous with himself. You consider your weapon as your most precious possession. You constantly maintain your physical fitness.

  • this makes the legion look weak as fuck. :/.

    stop trying to represent them.

  • 9 is for Legion etrage not enough.

    Legionar must make 3 x 60 lift ups

  • @rakijaivino: I have no idea which planet you are living on. But if you visit the Legion website (See Description for the link), you can find a free ticket back to Earth.

  • @hugglebear69 Thanks for making me smile with that statment, I would love to see that delusional guy on the bar

  • @rakijaivino Not true, because that is hardly, humanly possible.

  • this ha nothing to do with the legion :-|

  • 9!!, not being funny but thats fucking pathetic! I know fat civvy women who can do more!

  • and you?

  • do 25 straight arm pull-ups 4 times a week as part of my workout, and incase you're wondering how much I weigh its 87kg. Obviously when I first started working out I couldnt do this many

  • @vinepez: Haye89 and I, would be most happy if you could post a video response showing your 25 pull ups.

    It's one thing talking the talk, but can you walk the walk?

  • @hugglebear69 Come on man, 25 straight arm pull ups isnt that difficult, but sure no probs about the vid of me doing it, will send it directly to you on here later in the week.

  • agree with you man its nothing i went from being able to do 8/9 to 20 in a little over a month of hardcore training! thats after if he served 5 years as a legionnaire he should be smashing them out!

  • definately, I've seen 16yr old army recruits that can do 15-20 straight after a 5 mile run, like you say, if this bloke is ex legion he should be doing a shit load more than a struggling 9!!!

  • @vinepez

    yeah i use to do 16 average. no i cant even get to 12. :(

  • the lad does indeed have a point however, 9 is just embarrassing... I could quite easily jump myself up 9 rungs of a ladder doing pull ups only doing "training" once a week if that.

    before you mention it, you'll find my video on my channel

  • I can do 14 atleast :D

  • im wanting 2 join next september..i will be 35 yrs old ,,,do u think that is 2 old,,i will be training up b4 it offcourse and is it a good life

  • lol

  • how long dose the application stages take like from the moment you go to france to the moment you start basic. providing you pass it all ?

  • @TrilogyLive

    From personal experience, it took about five weeks.

    I was one week at a satellite post, and then traveled to Aubagne.

    It may take longer, or shorter depending on the intake numbers!

  • oh right thats good. i have served a short time in PWRR 2nd battalion and was set to join the royal marine commandos but ive taken a big intrest into this

  • So do you just sort out a short stay (90 day) visa and go from knocking on the door to starting selection?

  • If we wanted to eat we had to do 10, If we couldn't we had to run round the parade ground...then do it again....and again.... Then if we failed they kept us in the dark and fed us pins... They made us eat bricks!! Sometimes we had to climb a rope instead.

    That was in the 80's. It's easy now!

  • lol

  • I am thinking about joining and was wondering what if you could briefly shed some light on the following based on your experience:

    what are some common reasons for being disqualified from the initial recruitment?

    what kind of security questions etc. do they ask you about your past?

    from your personal experience, what were some reasons people did not make it through training?

    merci beaucoup! et merci pour votre temps!

  • Hi ekhatch1435,

    Common reasons for disqual. - 1. Criminal history. If you stole something, prob. no big deal! If you killed someone, very big deal! 2. Heavy drugs, no go!!! 3. Failed fitness/ psychological evaluation. (Srange 'cause they're mostly crazy fuckers anyway)

    Security Questions - Specific questions I cannot remember, but they ask you to recount your life history, and then they ask you to do it again, and again etc... Any discrepancies will be noted and jumped on!!!

  • Cont...

    Training Failure! - No-one that I knew "Failed" training, I'm not sure that you can! If you just stick with it, you're in!!! However, many run away (Desert), Others are injured and are Med. discharged.

    Bon Chance et de rien! Je n'ai pas de problem avec les bon questions!!!

  • dont do it. i joined after serving ten with the royal marines and not enjoying civvie street and was really dissapointed. just a bunch of badly trained bullies with an ego bigger than there abilities

  • you say that because you failed

  • by what measure is serving ten with the RM considered a failure? As you might of worked out from other posts, fitness tests in the FFL are a bit lame and their idea of soldiering is just not up to the mark of what a some people expect. if its to easy whats the point?.

  • Who Marines or Legionaires?

  • this is the basic fitness traning to the french foreign legion? 9 1/2 pull up? come on...

  • Yup! I know it's hard to believe,but it's true! In fact the test requirement is 4, amongs other things of course.

    10 however, is seen as acceptable though. Kinda' like an unofficial rule!

    If you are, as I imagine from your name, a rock climber. Then this is laughable, as you folks do more with just your fingers!!!

  • that look like a romanian village ! are u from Romania?

  • I am sorry but I must disagree with Arcane1Soldier. A healthly lifestyle i.e. eating heathly, working out, working out smarter by utilizing good running shoes etc, listening to your body and having the attitude and heart of a champion will take you along way.

    At 47 (old man that I am) I can run a 10k in 46:00 min flat, bang out 20 dead hang pull ups and do MMA 2-3 time a week.

    Age ain't nothing but a number.

  • Welcome Allrangefighter:

    Please post more about your workout plan, we would all like to hear more!!!

    Even better... Post a video! If people go to the Legion, they should be fit! It would be a valuable resource for those in training!

  • i'm only 19 and i know that. just look at bernard hopkins, shane mosley. one decides when one becomes old, i think. hopefully i can keep that outlook for awhile.

  • You needs 4 fore come in the legion so you are good. 40 situps,climb 5 meters in roap ect

  • Lie about the shoulder if its not a problem. You can apply up to the age of 40. Thats not to say they wont reject you because you're too old. Most guys who apply are young.

  • What the fuck ? Is that seriously the fitness needed for the french foreign legion ? I HOPE NOT ! I can do 20 of those perhaps a few more if i really push my self and i 16 years old. Sure I train a lot bot still i hope the FFL has got much higher standards then that !

  • no its not the fitness standards are very high and i sincerely doubt you can do 20 but if you can then thats an achievment to be proud of

  • one guy from our rouge section did over 20 and afterwards climped the rope with no feet when we did the test sportif

  • we`ve a guy here in 2eme REI who can do 29 pullups 150 pushups and 277 situps the guys a machine

  • im not that good at pull ups, but I can do situps until I get bored and pushups, I wouldnt know how many now... but all the ramassage I got in castel back then I could do around 118 119 as I was nearly always down en position (or corvée de chiot xD ).. now I could probably do 60 or 70 if I really tried hard and break a sweat.

  • When i was your age at 16, i to could do shit load of sit ups and push ups and pull/chin ups, but guess what. Wait till you get to my age of 25 and than see how well you do. Trust me, the more you age and older you get, no matter what, the less you can do with pull ups/chin ups especially

  • Not true, and allrangefighter is correct. If you maintain your fitness level as you age, your strength does not subside. At 43, I'm fitter than most men in their 20's.

  • Pour entré dans la Légion c'est 4 minimum...

    Bravo mec ;)

  • would having mild asthma prevent you from joining the legion,if so would you be able to sneak an inhaler in to get round it?

  • There might be a chance you could join up with the mild asthma if you be up front with them and ask to take the trials to show how well you can do and if you do good enough, they may take you, but you might not be in Infantry role, but maybe a Admin Guy or Driver. Thats my guess.

  • Hey Singhouse!

    Just do those 5 everyday... you'll get better, I promise!

    Check out my 6x6 workout comment!

  • I can barely do 5

  • adtd13 i feel sad for you.This guy is been somewhere where many many many people never can go and never feel how it feels.

    Do you get your "hat" back if you accidently lost it ?

    Respect!

  • You can easily buy replacement kepis at the foyer, which is the Legion shop on base! They get old and sweaty, and though you can wash them, it's sometimes just easier to buy a new one. Especially if there is an asshole at the "Post de sécurité" or guardroom.

    Though I really wouldn't recommend losing it in the first place, you've got to get back into camp somehow! Without a Kepi on your head..... You're screwed!!!

  • easy solution, go out in tenue civile ;)

  • when i got to the legion i ouldnt do one of those. spent a week hanging out in the excercie yard during selection and could do 4 but failed the run. that sucked donkey balls

  • do I need to know french to be a legionaire ?

  • No!........ But the more you learn before you join, the easier it will be. Trust me!!!

  • why would you post a video showing tht you cant even do ten pull ups, weak as fuck, sas are 10x better

  • I posted my lame 9 1/2 pull ups, because I can! Please feel free to post a response video showing how much better YOU are!!!

    Also, what the hell do you know about the SAS with your tender - barely out of diapers - 20 yrs? Are you even in the Military or are you still living with Mummy?

    I can make no comparison with the Special Air Service, because I've never served with them. Though in this instance you are probably right!

    Tip: Talk about what you know, and you'll look a lot less stupid.

  • I wonder if i join the FFL, how can i make it so that most of the pay i get from there is transfered here to the states and converted to us dollars for a family member, would they set up the account or ,etc. Im sure they will let me know, but i need better info on people who been there and done it. I mean, i get mixed info. Some say i cant email or call or write to family in 1 year, while others say that you can after BCT. Dammit, i fear if i join im fucked and my fam wont hear of me.lol

  • ....... For those that can't do one overhand pull up. Get a chair, stand on it and then hold your chin above the bar as long as you can, repeat 6 times. Do this for a month, then see how many regular pullups you can do.

    Always warm up, drink plenty of water and adapt as necessary. Most people can do way more situps than any other exercise, so the 6x6 rule doesn't apply.

    NOTE! Don't be ashamed if you CAN'T do it... Be ashamed if you DON'T do it. Nothin' wrong with tryin' your best!!!

  • You'll understand if I decline. I'm not in the habit of making videos of my workouts just to post on Youtube. Hell, many have already said this was boring, who wants to see me running around a track for 12 mins.

    Looking for a workout? I suggest the 6x6 workout. That is... 6 pullups, then another 6, then another 6..... x 6. Do the same with push ups and dips.........

  • Can you put more films excercises you have to do in the FFL on youtube?

  • Can you put more of armée etranger gymnastics here. I'm french-dutch so got the need to serve both

  • I don't entirely understand your question. Please clarify?

  • I say Welldone Huggle !!

  • Thank you! :-)

  • You're quite right mferi92, I cheated with the legs. Also, I am but a tender 39yrs old. The 69, refers to my Year of birth. Thanks anyway for your comment. Say! Can you post a video response showing how it's really done?

  • u did only 4.5 correct, u shouldn*t raise ur legs, just use your arms still fu*ken awesome for 69 year old

  • I really don't know anymore, and I don't want to waste my time, doing your research. However...

    Somethin' like say 50 push ups, 10 pull ups and 6 or 7 laps of the 400m track in under - I think - 12 minuets Google "Cooper Test", and you'll be just fine.

    Those are just the physical test! If you're a crazy fuck (one candidate asked the Gestapo if the Legion still ran their own Bordels/ Brothels? Didn't stay long. LOL!). Then they send you home, killing you on the way back to Aubagne train station.

  • So what exactly are all the requirements to get accepted to go to the foreign legion training?

  • just go to the Foreign Legion website

  • May believe me or not but in my platoon we had a 35 years old guy and he did 150 of this in one go! His weight was 50kg.

  • First, you need long distance running and swimming, in order to loose some weight.

    If you just go for liftings you'll gain upper muscle mass, then, your legs will have to carry more...

  • Good point @ Combattoino! Did a little Sub-Aqua Diving (BSAC). The Dive Leader said "There's two types of fitness, land fit and water fit. When was the last time you saw a skinny Olympic Swimmer?"

    Many of the Russians don't get in simply because they're carrying around too much muscle mass!

  • thats wrong, millitary fitness in general isnt about being able to run, or to lift its about being ADAPTABLE having no upper muscle mass isnt going to make that happen. its about weather it be sand, sea land or mountain, thru wateva that u can crack on and get the job done.

    mark 1 leather personal carrier

  • Sorry, I missed the point of your post. Which part is wrong? Many Russians don't get in because they can't run. Little girls like you don't get in because wet paper bags pose serious resistance. Please post a video showing exactly how adaptable you are! What, no video?? Goddamn Pussy!

  • u can suck my dick m8 i posted saying u dont need any upper body strength. no im no adaptable im going in the royal marines and aint shit untill the day i pass out, but fuck u, if u even are ex foreign legion ud show respect.

    i said u cant say only fitness u need is running, in my tym doign sport science i met extremes in both sports, i kno long distance runners who cant do 10 pullpups. is that miltary fitness?

    ur very defense and cant read fuck u

  • i mean i responded to a post saying u dont need any upper body strength*

  • As I remember The Royal Marines don't accept men of "alternative" sexual orientation. Therefore the invitation to suck your dick will not be appreciated at all by your future comrades or superiors.

    I doubt however judging by your appalling spelling, that you will be successful in your application. I shall of course forward your illiterate posts to my diplomatic contacts in the U.K. Just to make sure! :-)) Sleep well!

  • ha ha i type in shorthand because im not writing a letter to impress u. ive passed selection thanx and have a degree ive got the mental aptitude. u dont kno me and u dont kno anything about me. ur pathetic attempts to insult my intelligence are meaningless. forward to ur diplomatic contacts ur such a loser and blatantly a fake. luckily however my dog tag wont say jonny232323 u invicile. i doubt uve ever served in the legion ur just a twat making gay videos

  • Ha ha! I type in shorthand because I'm not writing a letter to impress you. I've passed selection thanks and have a degree; I've got the mental aptitude. You don't know me and you don't know anything about me. Youre pathetic attempts to insult my intelligence are meaningless. Forward to you're diplomatic contacts you're such a loser and blatantly a fake. Luckily however my dog tag wont say jonny232323 u imbecile. I doubt you've ever served in the Legion you're just a twat making gay videos.

  • Need I say more?

  • Ha ha ha...! If you are not able to run maybe you can get a function in the army as kitchen's suply desk clerk.

  • fucking 9 i did more in lichfelid for my 2 day selction thing

  • Good for you

  • load of fucking bollocks..join the british Army.

  • Did six of nine, bought myself out

  • not even nine and a half in fact...what a chopper this guy is!

  • and you should go TO the school dum boy.....

  • Only 9,5 pulls...?!

  • The requirement for the Legion is 4 if I remember correctly. So my 9,5 'ain't that bad!

    Post a reply video with your effort!

  • hugglebear69, if you were in the legion and stuck it out i give you my full respect! im going over to nice to apply on the 25th of feb to apply ive been training for months can do 14 chins palms facing out no prob and can bust my ass for about 10km with a 12.5kg bag any info you can share about what they look for.......mentally the info would be MUCH appreciated thanks, and again much respect

  • do they let you do it with palms facing in?

  • A BIG NO!

  • My wife and I both enjoy and laugh heartily over the "Doubting Thomas'". She knows I was there too because she visited me.

    So please keep up the comments, I enjoy a good laugh!

    btw I know I'm a little chubby around the middle, but I am retired and 39 years old. So don't be toooo hard. In fact you might take a private survey of 39 yr olds, to see how many pullups can be achieved on average. I'll wager that my 9 1/2 overhanders doesn't measure up too badly after all.

  • In the legion you cant be married.....and your wife visited you ?

  • sure u can be married after the RSM or if your a caporal at least

  • You are partially right.... Until you reach the rank of Caporal Chef Just don't bother asking, though many are already married, and simply lie about it. I wasn't married at the time, but am now. She was my girlfriend then!! Would be kinda strange to say today that my girlfriend and I had a good laugh over the comments, if I married her???

  • ok folks! Just a quick login to thank you all for your most interesting comments. Though I KNOW I was in the FFL, it appears that some of you don't believe me! So, I will prove it in anyway you choose without compromising any security issues. That means that each "proof Request" will be considered carefully.

  • you expect that a man...after he served there to give you a FULL training PROGRAM?..this is an example ...it's good that you are in a better shape than him..GOOD LUCK..You don't have a little respect guys.

  • can everyone just throw out what regiment of the ffl intrests you the most im planning on attempting after i come back from my tour over seas in 2010 im stuck on 2rep of course or 2rei id like to see some combat during the 5 years.

  • we might see each other ill be finishing up my degree(accountings) by middle of 2010 leaving right after! 2rep?? ok see you there im also aiming for 2rep! Keep in touch yeah!

  • I'm 39 years old (like you)& I'm more or less in the form ... think that I can do?

  • Not unless you train, the physique tests aren't overly hard but you will have to train for them.

  • Ref. Link "more info":

    If you can't do 10 Overhand Pull ups, Go Home! Workout a little, and come back when your voice has broken an octave or two. However... I hate to say it, I believe the requisite number to get in, is 4.

    But listen when I say, You REALLY need to be able to do 10! Come on, it' not so many!

    While you're at it, climb a 6m Rope Just using your hands, No feet!(Called l'apératif. :)) The boots make the rope dirty, and we don't want dirty rope hanging around do we??

    NO LADIES :(

  • of course we dont

  • and how about running ?? how many km should you be abel to run before joining ?
