As someone who goes to the gym, I canāt really judge someone based on a few reps that may or may not be to the point of fatigue. I donāt care if he could do 225 for 40, heās a shit head.

u/NotNice4193 Jun 19 '26
even if its his first reps...good on him for trying. neckbeard redditors should take notes.

You're sending mixed signals lol. Ehh anyways yeah exercise regimen doesn't come into it, guy is a POS regardless. Also just throwing this out there but it must be stated if your whole appeal as a person no matter what kind of person you may be, boils down to whether or not you can do basic exercises on camera then that is rather pathetic no two ways about it.

u/NotNice4193 Jun 19 '26
You're sending mixed signals lol
signal 1) judging people for being weak while trying to improve themselves is stupid.
signal 2) Pete is a pos.
Dont think that conflicts. lets make fun of him for all the valid reasons we already have instead.

u/Blacklite_01 Jun 19 '26
If they're trying to improve anything what do they need cameras for?. Idk about any other mutt who thinks how they look is more important that who they are. But physical appearance is and always will be skin deep.
If they really cared about themselves on a meaningful level they wouldn't have to project pointless things like how much weight they can lift or reps they can do at every opportunity. That lowers them into being nothing more than human figures to stare at and not people with character, true individuals with real value who do meaningful things with the status and free will they hold.

u/Apprehensive_Ratio80 Jun 18 '26
These are embarrassing and do absolutely nothing for the role he is wholey unqualified for.
I got into an argument online with someone about this last year about Hegseth. Every time I posted something negative they would respond with "BUT HE WONA. BRONZE STAR BYT HE WON A BROZE STAR".
Just to be absolutely clear, Winning a bronze or silver Star, A purple heart, a Medal of Honor still means absolutely nothing to your qualifications as the Head of the department of defense. Sure if you had a medal of Honor. I assume you know your stuff, but regardless of that all people to have held that position have been legal/logistical/accounting/ negotiating/ implementation/ experts and leadership people with additional skills that they can bring to the table. Hegseth is none of these, he is an entertainer from Fox News ffs š¤¦š»āāļø
Besides shooting a gun or doing a drill course, your physical capabilities do not make you suitable to the department of defense leadership. Your understanding of everything that makes up that department are what make you qualified.
Hegseth, like Trump, would rather go online and pick a fight with nobodies than actually do his job to resource funding to ensure that military personnel are looked after to ensure.
For instance, right now that the US military is actually having to increase production of the munitions that it needs. Trump has had to invoke some article from 1950 in order to expedite the production of ammunition such as missiles and ballistics. Because they dropped so much on Iran, they didn't realize they had nothing ready to replace it with. The US missed its deadline for producing Tomahawk missiles for Japan earlier this year because they put all their eggs in one basket. The country isn't exactly defenseless but it's it's already pushed the country into a seriously weakened position. I'm sure in years to come whistleblowers will come forward and speak about just how bad things were. I honestly don't think we've even touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Hegsetha unsuitability to this role.

He made 40 reps ... Can you ? That's a LOT.

u/AttorneyParty4360 Jun 17 '26
40 reps is standard 4Ć10 sets. is this the end of the exercise or the beginning? I can't imagine anyone who actually bench presses has noodle legs like that while lifting.
1
u/BaphometWorshiper Jun 19 '26
He does 40 reps in one set, he probably benchpress more than 99.99% of the planet.

u/VegaJuniper Jun 18 '26
40 reps and 4 x 10 reps are completely different things.
EDIT: Checked the full video, and he does 40, but he kind of half-reps them.

Guaranteed that you can't even come close to what he did during this exercise.
Anyone who's ever seriously lifted knows you've never lifted.

What do you think of the quality of his reps? People who lift seem very divided. He definitely wasn't performing up to military standard, whether that standard is right or wrong.

u/Juvat-the-bold Jun 18 '26
44 of those reps is legit.
He looks like he can bench 315, which would put him in, probably, the top 1% of all men on earth.

Dude, they're all half-reps. He does maybe 1 to lockout. Someone even shouts at him "all the way down, all the way up", with absolutely zero effect.

Ok thatās 135lbs each plate is 45 lbs and so is the bar and he doesnāt have his hands in the right spots
1
u/SignificanceGlass632 Jun 17 '26
The right spot is a narrower grip than he has, so you are working the pectoral muscles instead of just straining the rotator cuffs. It's a lot harder, so you want to use less weight. But you get a much better workout without a high risk of shoulder injury.

u/TripleRiver1863 Jun 17 '26
Dude benches like 315. He's one of the first Defense Secretaries I've ever seen actually joining with the lower enlisted. You film him while he's giving his all and he's getting tired like it's some power move on your end? It just makes you look pathetic. The last Sec Def was gone for a month without any notice and Pete trains with his men and women? Seriously you all are pathetic.

I've seen the whole set. He didn't complete a single proper rep. There was a troop right next to him doing them correctly. It shows in his other workouts too. Never does full extensions. He looks like a yoga chick doing cardio.
Now I'm a fat dude who doesn't put in much gym time, but I'm also not posting videos of myself online trying to look hard and failing to even look competent.

Have you considered its morale for the troops too see their SECDEF PT with them. Never saw Lloyd Austin PT with the people he represents. Probably because he was being a national security risk being AWOL. š¤·

Pronounced "pogue" /poŹÉ”/, POG (or Pogue) is pejorative military slang used by combat troops (specifically infantry) to describe non-combat, non-infantry, or rear-echelon support personnel. It is a retronym widely agreed across communities on Quora to stand for "Person Other than Grunt".

u/HoldenMcNeil420 Jun 17 '26
the pump refers to the temporary swelling and hardening of muscles during an intense workout. It is caused by blood and fluid rushing to the worked area, making muscles look visibly larger, tighter, and more vascular for a short time.
