Fitness Pros Rip His Technique

Several trainers publicly dissected his form. One coach said his general movement quality was poor and that the clip highlighted inexperience. Others pointed to a flawed kettlebell swing, bent wrists during presses and a tendency to rest weights on the chest during an overhead press — all signs, they said, of weak wrists, forearms and core positioning.

Family, Challenges and Backlash

Hegseth even had his teen son Gunner spot him; when his son moved to help he shouted, "Don't touch it!" Critics also recalled past comments in which he derided some troops' appearance. He previously invited colleagues to exercise with him in a now-faded "Pete and Bobby" challenge. According to sources, his position has faced scrutiny as the clip fueled social media ridicule and debate over his leadership and fitness.
