Me too. Thinking the same thing. Now I have to run faster.

@historyfellow3684 yeah running fast is not my specialty. About a 7 minute mile is best case scenario for me but then again I'm almost 34. I was faster at 20 🤣

@Xander .357 That's still faster than me. I last did that in Basic. Maybe a miracle can happen and I work my way down to that again🙂

@historyfellow3684 I believe in you dude!!

@history fellow brow what’s the time for 1.5 run?

Have you noticed any considerable changes in size/strength in your arms ever since doing push ups? Do your arms get sore now or are they used to the repetitions?

Same here. l was like "WTF?" What's next, taking a siesta in between of the reps?

SAME!

Actually it’s harder. Try maxing it.

Not active duty but I'm currently working my way there, 6'1 230 pounds, for you you will need to bleed some weight and maintain, I go to the gym everymorning and walk/jog/run 2 miles minimum, after that 5 minute rest, no sitting down yet, find a rowing machine and try to aim for 1000 meters in 5 minutes, at first you may go for 2 and half for 500 meters but try to aim for the first one, after that whatever exercise for wherever you are lacking, as for nutrition sams club sell a 3 pound rotisserie chicken for 5 dollars, another 7 follows for rice and tortillas make a bunch of chicken and rice burritos the rotisserie is already seasoned sub your lunch for that every day, sometimes dinner you can prep the entire chicken for a month's worth, keep three in the fridge at a time, and freeze the rest, only thaw when down to one, drink only water, no more soda, if you are caffeine addicted, find a pre-workout that's fairly healthy with caffeine and use that once a day, but be prepared to kill your caffeine addiction before joining or basic will suck balls initially.

1. Carb Manager is your friend. 2. 30/60s-60/120s 3. You don't particularly need to lift, it can help. 4. Make sure you have good running form. If you don't and you aren't running before you leave. You will get shin splints. They hurt. A lot. 5. Remember it's all mental. Your drills don't hate you(unless you're a blue falcon), they are there to make you better. 6. Remember to enjoy it. If you don't take time every now and then to enjoy it you will be miserable. 7. The better shape you are in when you go, the more fun you'll be able to have. 8. Eat the cake in reception, don't eat it after.

20% of physical fitness is exercising. From your stats: 20-45 mins of physical activities 3-5 days per week. Walk, resistance training, calisthenics, etc. Always perform stretching exercises prior to and after. The other 80% are hydration, sleep, and diet. This is where the results begin. 2 qts to a gallon of water a day. 5-8 hours of quality sleep. Eat in moderation. Basically, eat what your body can pay for. Fast Food cost 100 push ups, 5 min plank, 75 pull ups, and 3 mile run to burn off. I cheat by eating unsweetened oatmeal with prunes, apples and bananas with a qt of lemon water 2 hours before I eat my meal. Don’t wait til you hungry. I hope this help. Good luck #AirAssault

Few things, cut your calories low for a couple weeks, and strength training and brisk walking or jogging. Up the calories slowly week after week for a few weeks, then cut them low again. Anytime your cutting, include some carbs, anytime your upping them, include less. High protein, lower carb the whole time. Stay active, lose 30 pounds and keep strength training. Follow a program. Get a pull-up bar, do push-ups through the day then right before bed so as many push-ups as you can in 2 mins!

You’ll be good. I was very out of shape when I joined, weighing at 250 & I’m 5’9. By the end of basic I weigh in at 205 now. Basic will definitely make you stronger with all the front leaning rest positions they’ll have you in lol Good luck & just stay positive & remember basic is only temporary, just focus on the end goal.

Study well for the asvab

Better actually start to prepare, I thought the same thing to but I kept thinking well I still got 3 years well I got 2 years and now it kicked in I got 1 year so don’t lose track of time.

Fr, this takes up so much time. Dunno why the did this, but I will admit it adds consistency, so improper form isn’t really problem, although that was kinda part of the discipline in a sense.

Big boobs. Women's pushups were especially hard if your boobs hit the ground. This solves that, sort of. Now you smash them to extend the arms. But at least it counts toward a rep. Women were losing reps for touching the ground, or not breaking 90degrees.

Studs?

lol I think it’s more about “rapid generation of force” than PT studs. I see the idea they were going for. Maintaining tension is great, but you don’t shove something or someone with maintained muscle tension.

easier to administer the test and notice failures

You would surely pass but will you max out? Nah it’s not that easy LoL

@@JayKeyz2010If you cant do 67 hand release pushups you need to consider elementary school PE class, not the military💀

This is one bot out of two

I have never seen these push-ups until recently. I tried them a few days ago and I think the standard push-ups are harder.

It literally just changed this year big dawg

I tried this test, and got significantly less push-ups in (49 less). My rear delts were burning from the lactic acid. You should try it, the full stop on the ground is also what makes this difficult.

@@jiamonx2 It also requires far less than the standard push-up for minimum standards.

It’s harder.

It's not meant to be difficult...

"seems" is the operative word here. Doing a pushup over and over again is easy. Dropping a load and picking it up over and over again drains you way faster than using your momentum to go into the next push.

It’s not

I guess you’ve never done these?

@@Robert_H_Diver nope I guess you have done those and thought you were doing something right?

@@thenecessarynews9371 go see how many you can do then come back and let us know…
