[IcePrincess619]

I downloaded that SIT UP app THANKS BROA

[xmisogyny]

Everything about the way the guy is doing the sit up looks wrong.

[666FriedChicken]

i can do 200 in one go without stop!! IM A BEAST

[kiahrogers]

@666FriedChicken How long did it take you to get to that point and how did you work up to that?

[ILLRICARDO]

@kiahrogers download an app for your android phone called sit up... it will slowly train you into doing any amount of sit ups you want to do at a time... i can do 80 at a time now

[kiahrogers]

@ILLRICARDO I appreciate it...

[ILLRICARDO]

@kiahrogers no worries.. the app is called sit ups... just use once on a daily basis and you will be able to do 200 sit ups in no time

[TheCoolisimo]

@666FriedChicken wats ur secret? fried chicken? cuz i luv fried chicken.

[666FriedChicken]

eat loads of chicken and u will go far!

[QooQwhip]

Very not impressed, if this is what Americas Army "proper" sit ups that's just sad. Everyone clearly knows hands crossed on your chest, using your arms to pull your neck up, is not only cheating but damaging your neck.

[ibelieveinsumthin]

yes it's 5 next

[almightyad]

the instructor should relax at least. anyway thanks for the tips :D

[CJYOUFCKINBUSTER]

You really shouldn't put your entire hands behind your head, should cup your ears instead. Unless you are doing it lightly, actually holding your head up can cause neck injury.

[WelloDaDon]

lol @ the comments

[Mcais2Fresh]

I was told you need to do 17 situps and 13 pushups under one minute when you go to BT.. True or false? And true some post a video

[lavatun]

anyone noticed that there are no dislikes for this vid?

[StreetTrooper]

Doing sit ups with your hands behind your head can hurt the high half of your spine, it's better to do it with your hand in an X on your chest as to not strain your neck.

[graffitivideos95]

@StreetTrooper ture if your doing them incorrectly. if you use your abdominal muscles to pull yourself up then you dont put that strain on your neck and upper back

[l3ountyhunter]

@StreetTrooper

The Army doesn't let you cross your arms.

[mtrenchandeminem]

i've been doing this for a long time but i only gain muscle at the top of my abs, and not the rest

can anybody help?

[nobeefbaby]

@mtrenchandeminem you have muscle in your lower abs too. You just can't see them because chances are there is a layer of fat there. Fat tends to build at the lower abdominal area. Do some more cardio.

[mtrenchandeminem]

@nobeefbaby alright thnx for helping, but i have allot more muscle near the top than the bottom, like around my belly button. is that normal or am i doing it wrong..

[OpticHDD]

No putting hands behind your neck has only been proven to affect you if your cheating and using them! If you place your hands behind your head and don't use them it's perfectly fine. I usually do situps with my fingers behind my ears. Showing I'm not cheating. Not allowing me too. And puts more weight on your abs to pull up (your arms).

[DryIceandAppleJuice]

wait so two situps = ONE. ?

[colesjeff12]

@DryIceandAppleJuice no

[antonyr123]

@DryIceandAppleJuice up and down is 1 set..

[dunhamnumber1]

perfect vid

[rockntroopen]

i donk know but ive been told

u.s army on the road

[jhtrico1850]

These kind of look like crunches....

[jhtrico1850]

@jhtrico1850 By that, I mean his back isn't straight. My back has problems when I try to get it straight... So, phew, now I can practice extended crunches...

[bxnyfordham]

is every rep three count?

[TheKoC101]

I thought you weren't supposed to have your arms behind your head like that because it puts pressure on your neck... It sure looks like he's putting pressure on his neck.

[moneyman10k]

@TheKoC101 THIS IS THE ARMY SON!

[HarveyRex23]

Isn't placing the hands behind the neck during a sit up bad?

[immikeurnot]

@HarveyRex23 Yeah, so is sitting up all the way like that.

[immikeurnot]

@HarveyRex23 Yeah, so is sitting up all the way like that. Both are terrible for your spine.

[deswan77]

@HarveyRex23 no hands behind the head is the wat gym teachers know you arnt cheating

thums up for our troops

[deswan77]

@deswan77 i mean way not wat

[CUjoBitME]

lol at ppl getting mad over something that has nothing to do with the video. "FUCK AMERICA!" "WHAT!? WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT AMERICA!?" "HEROES!" "PUSSIES!" "YOURE A PUSSY!" "NO, YOURE A PUSSY!" Come on guys grow up, people arent always going to share your view on life. Thats reality grow up and stop arguing like little school children over the internet.

[iwillknifeya]

@CUjoBitME Hear, hear!

[zimismyinvader]

@CUjoBitME This guy wins many many internwebz points. No but in all seriousness, this guy wins in life.

[kscraig12]

RLTW

[99F]

[jacoe99]

[OpieCavalera]

@jacoe99 the hostility is amazing....wow

[sapnyosentry]

@jacoe99

immaturity.......pretty much sums is up =\

[MrSamurojon]

@CiRcAsk8xTryant If ur not in the marines u dont diserve to bitch or cry like a lil pussy. so dont talk crap if u havent been over where our sons & fathers are risking there lifes just so they can come home. SD (619) so u can comment on this thats my area code.

[12343astronomer]

i thought you were supposed to cross your arms over your chest because this way could mess up your spine or something.

[Psyondrax1]

that looks terribly uncomfortable for the spine. moreover, if he's using his arms to pull his head over across his abdominal region, that further unecessarily puts strain on his vertebrae.

[CiRcAsk8xTyrant]

ahahahaha fuck the army, faggots Aint Ready to be Marines Yet

[4444ajw4444]

@CiRcAsk8xTyrant Hey puss, you aren't in the Marines or the Army!!!! You should shut up and think about the fact that I am in the Army and I personally knew men who have died for your right to talk shit and jack off on the internet. Shit, I knew guys who were pretty sure that, eventually, what they were tasked with doing would kill them...and they were right, but the love for country kept them focused. They did more push ups than you ever could too...they had mental toughness...FAGGOT!

[CiRcAsk8xTyrant]

@4444ajw4444 dude, fer real, do you think i give a shit about you? i dont give a fuck about you or the army or the military at that! the only people that i respect that are in the military are my dad(marines), uncle(navy), and cousin(marines), but other than that, i could care less about that shit. and i may not be in any branch of the military, but i have seen people die for reasons other than foreign affairs. so you shut your fucking mouth you fucking waste of breathe!! faggot ass pussy bitch

[compugeekmsn]

@CiRcAsk8xTyrant SUCK MY DICK!

you can sure talk but you are probobly just a weak littlte fuck.

People like you make me wanna just shove my KA-BAR up your ass. FUCK YOU! Your cousin, uncle, and dad are heros but they are not the only heros. I want to beat the shit out of you with my sig SOOOO bad. FUCK OFF!

[CiRcAsk8xTyrant]

@compugeekmsn do it bitch!! i fuckin dare you!! idgaf who tha fuck you are!! put your fucking money where your fucking mouth is pussy!

[ladyjaneheath]

@CiRcAsk8xTyrant You're not in the marines or the army, so what does that make you you? fag.

[JugAChave]

Hooah! This video is perfect. I was told the rep didn't count unless the backs of your hands touch the ground every time. I'm glad to see that isn't the case. In which case, I'm doing 75 sit ups in 1min 32sec!

11B , Follow me!

[GoWHeadShotz]

dude that is horrible.. i am 15 and i can do way more than 75 in 1min 32 secs.. average thats 25 sit ups every 30 secs for you.. and your proud?

[JugAChave]

@GoWHeadShotz yea and I'm sure your 90 pound ass is sooo hard to lift up. LOL When your close to 200lbs, even tho thats mostly muscle, its a bit harder to push that up as fast when your not a little stick. Besides, I highly doubt your doing a "MILITARY STANDARD" push up. Thats down until your chest hits the floor and back up every time. Your full of shit little boy.

[4444ajw4444]

@GoWHeadShotz put a video up of you doing more than 75 military sit ups in 92 seconds...then proceed to talk all the shit you want. I am in the Army. I am on the Combatives Team (which is more or less MMA) and I am 29 years old, 6'1'' 203 lbs and 8.5% body fat. I cannot do 75 military sit ups in 92 seconds. TALK IS CHEAP 15 YEAR OLD...PUT UP OR SHUT UP. TELL YOUR MOM I SAID "THANKS FOR THE PUSSY MA'AM!"

[ladyjaneheath]

@GoWHeadShotz Haha! you talk such bullshit, child.

[flyer203]

Don't try this without a trainer and without warm up or if you are a rookie.This exercise may cause an injury in your spine or the Intervertebral discs mainly at the lower of your spine.

So be carefull and make sure you are in good shape before do this exercise.

[GoWHeadShotz]

sure..

[jimluthra]

I have a question, Does building abs before building chest affect your chest muscles. someone told me that it affects chest muscles and we cannot build chest after strengthening abs first. plz tell me does it really affect?

[4444ajw4444]

@jimluthra I AM A CERTIFIED TRAINER AND IN THE ARMY...WHOEVER TOLD YOU THAT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU CAN STRENGTHEN ANY MUSCLE AT ANY TIME OF YOUR LIFE AND DO SO IN ANY ORDER...SOME WAYS ARE JUST MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHERS, THATS ALL. BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR BODY BUILDING EFFORTS.

[slimthugga34]

"that is how to do a military sit-up"

an army sit-up. that shit dont fly in the Marines.

[4444ajw4444]

@slimthugga34 YEAH IN THE MARINES EVERYTIME YOU COME UP YOU HAVE TO GO DOWN ON YOUR INSTRUCTOR...BITCH!

[slimthugga34]

@4444ajw4444

your so tough you can talk shit behind a keyboard eh tough guy?

[sknabbanks]

i know thats not how marines do em..thats the worst way to do a situp..

[2012rurede]

pressure on your neck because people cheat to pull their head up.

[NewYorkBound]

Or there are dozens of ways to do a sit-up

[jirm9]

haha i just watched a video telling me not to do it this way. guess they were wrong.

[TheRealTaco87]

Or that video was wrong

[flyer203]

This is wrong dude.You must be in very good shape to do the sit up this way and again you risk of an injury.
