@dbfordateam good work I'm 14 and I'm training for the U.S. Marines but I can do only 39 pushups 120 situps but my mile run is 7:29 how can I improve this or be as good as you?
@ZombieAlein Advice from someone who has maxed all the events on the APFT: practice at least 5 times a week. These are all meant to be a measure of how much time you put into your fitness and to see how committed you are to becoming a soldier. These events are not a measure of strength, but of endurance, and endurance comes only from practice. I suggest doing exercises in sets. I started with 10 sets of 10 pushups, 30 seconds rest. I did 82 on the test. Give it time and effort. work hard.
@getlostupig if you want to get better at push ups just get some weights and just hold them with your fists pointing outward not like when you lift for your bicep muscles amd just keep lifting and that is how pushups were easier for me
i cant finally do 43 and i think that you have 2 minutes to do it and u can rest so it isnt horrible my hardest is gonna be the 2 mile run im only 15 but i am not in shape so ive been trying to get into shape
im 15 and i am really not in shape at all i mean im short and skinny but underweight and ive been trying to work out and get fit but nothing works i finally started running the other day i get tired like after a minute lolz but now i can jog for 5 minutes straight and im going to try and up the time every week or so but im trying to do this once a day also Regular pushups - 10
@YESMAN977 yeah there is, what i like to do is; when i'm performing the push up for a high number of reps instead of pushing myself up and lowering myself down i just push myself up and completely let my body just fall then push so i don't waste energy lowering myself.
@md1997 you missed the point, it's not about getting everything you can out of the pushup, it's about passing the test. you can do pushups all day and night correctly, but when it comes down to it you'll need all the help you can get to perform well on the apft.
@YESMAN977 fuck yeah, i'm a girl but i joined and it really gets you fucking fit, i couldn't do pushups for shit and now i do like 20. and run 1 mile, this year we go for 2
I don't like that the military likes to promote cheating on push ups. Locking out a push up puts the stress that is supposed to be on the pectoral muscles, triceps, and shoulders, into our locked elbows. Go to the point right before locking, that's the way it's done. But of course, this is just my opinion.
And you obviously have to do what is accepted with the Military. So for a PT test don't listen to me, but when you're bored and feel like training for push ups, go to point before locking. That will help make military push ups your bitch.
I am currently an MS I (II next Fall) Cadet in AROTC and there has been discussion that PT standards will be modified according to occupation as opposed to gender. i.e. combat arms branch will be more physically demanding than say the medical branch
@aznyang16 because once men go through puberty there stronger than women im not trying to be sexist also women have a higher percentage of body fat so its harder to build muscle
@goldenblade212 lol the seal minimum is about 100 push ups and you should be able to do about 20 pull ups or more, so don't act like you can do that much. plus you have to be able to carry a telephone pole size log with 7 other people and you have to do sit ups with it too.
@deathcreed16 Thats bullshit you're probably not even in the seals. The minimum for the SEAls is the same as the Navy's minimum.. It is RECOMMENDED that they can do at least 80 pushups. Stop exaggerating.
@1lilcuz you're prob right about him not being a SEAL, but I'm currently training myself to become one in a few years, i've watched videos of retired SEAL's who said to aim for 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, and 20 pull ups, because that will most likely place you some where in the top of the class, so that is my goal.
alright so just curious is there a resting place for pushups? I saw in the situp video that its allowed for you to take a quick break in a sitting up position... if anyone has an answer for me could you message me back here or send a message back at dszy89@yahoo.com thanks! appreciate it
@Mousetrapers Thats great man you should join the army i'm joining right after high school i'm 17 right now so i'm almost out of here the army will be a great thing for you and well good luck with everything man
when your doing the push ups,isnt there a count that you do,that goes like so:1 2 1, 1 2 2, 1 2 3, 1 2 4...and so on, and if u are to do 3 push ups in that three count it counts as one?
@madax132 it took you four months for that? your doing something wrong(no offense)try ladders man you can get way more reps in without burning out...im 14 as well btw
Honestly, most high school athletes can do 43 push ups in a row ( they might do em' rather quickly but with legit form) however pull ups on the other hand, most college kids cant do that...so whats my point? NROTC for Marines is much more difficult compared to Army ROTC
@SuRihtanil you have to drill from 6-7 mon wed fri and it is college just that you are taking military lab classes while at the college u attend but you dont get to enjoy the social activities such as smoking, drinking and partying as much as a regular student would because you are in rotc
@rive08 dude if i were u id do the ROTC. im only a soph. in highschool, but iv thought about it a lot and ROTC seems the most reasonable. u get ur education and become a 2nd Lt., y not do it u kno? and if u dont get a scholarship, and u end up not liking it, u dont have a service commitment
I'm going to do ROTC in college but I'm not sure If I should do AFROTC or ARMY ROTC. Any suggestions, I dont want to get all my info from a recruiter.
I agree. I was enlisted, but my experience with the Army was for the most part great. Of course every branch is fantastic, just go with what feels right for you.
take it from someone who barely endured the horrors of spf changes from active duty AF to army natl guard. I am telling you this to help you. If you decide to go AF, whether active right out of high school, or through rotc, be prepared for endless mountains of paperwork that makes the other branches' paperwork like a third grade essay.
very. got a female friend who graduates basic in a week, & she can do 49 in 2 minutes. the thinner upper body of a female just means less weight to push up.
@samburger077 Your retarded "less weight to push up"... Ok just cuz were a guy doesn't mean were fat and have to push the fat up (Not alwes at least). There is a ratio for body weight and muscle. Im sure I rather pick alot of muscle to push and support my weight then just " Less weight" . Honestly do you people ever think before posting some idiotic comment?
If I'm not mistaken, the enlistment requirements are something like 13 push-ups, 17 sit-ups, & an 8.5 minute mile for males, regardless of age. If you can do the 42 push-ups, 53 sit-ups, & 16 minute 2 mile before you leave, you get an instant promotion from Recruit to Private. So while you're at basic, you're earning $1600 monthly rather than $1400, & then you get it all when you graduate.
I'm not even sure what you're responding to, but either way you're a little 14 year old douche bag. So grow up a little & then we can have an adult conversation.
What's your fascination with bastardized middle school-style text slang? Just curious. And seeing as how I'm half a decade older than you, you've got way too much extra room in your pants to talk about balls dropping. You're just a little kid who's taking advantage of the impersonality of the internet to say stuff you wouldn't even have time to think of in real life before getting your ass kicked. Oh, you also said you can do 60 push-ups in a minute. Let's see a video.
Mate the last word was a joke. Don't suppose you see many 'middle school' children with perfect grammar? If I made the video, you would just criticize me for things like 'Oh your not going down far enough' or something other stupid excuse when you realize I can do it. If you think I was joking then you are clearly mistaken.
Not many middle schoolers have perfect grammar. Most are capable of saying "Okay, thanks. Bye." And yes, I would like to critique your push-ups if necessary. If you're performing proper push-ups, I would have nothing to criticize. But even if you don't post a video of it, it's always good to watch a tape of yourself to make sure you have proper posture & a full rage of motion. It's impossible to know if you're doing something right until you see yourself do it.
Oh and if you wondered, my first comment referred to this comment 'If I'm not mistaken, the enlistment requirements are something like 13 push-ups, 17 sit-ups, & an 8.5 minute mile for males, regardless of age'.
you have to be at a certain weight or at least a minimum of 30% body fat which at meps you will be measured and weighed yeah u have to do 42 push ups between ages of 17 and 20 after basic on your PT
@kero7642 Since you're 12 I'll inform you a bit. 43 pushups are the minimum. This is a starting point. Once you've shown that you can do the basics, you continually do better until you graduate than can do 71, which is the max, or more. There is also a run and situps to do so all your energy is not going to just pushups.
@DJR492 weird in school the minimum is 20 for boys and only 2 ppl did more then 20. in class we dont do pushups unless its a fitness test which once a year. schools are definitely failing in fitness.
I'm twelve but I'm 178cm tall and weigh 73kg. that's pretty much 5 foot 10 and 155 pounds. and my muscles aren't fully developed yet so I'm much weaker
when i was younger i could do 80, not until i video recorded my push up to find out the wrong form, now i can only do about 40-50 max, i do 40 reps 2 sets everyday
MrGreeva ur a fucking idiot people join rotc not only 4 the money of the military but to learn dicipline and pride their not brainwashing. there protecting ur sorry ass. also gangsters commit more crime. so fuk off u fat fuk. go play ur call of duty.
@smoke32123 umm ok where do i start.... YES the military brainwashes, how much honour does it take to rape a POW? to kill innocent civilians? i see no honour in these acts, and tell me this a country with not much defence is suspected of having WMDs and our countries attack, meanwhile North Korea launches 2 nukes and our leaders just look the other way??? and may i remind you we found nothing, *gasp* but we did we found that thing ummm whats it called.... oh yeah oil...fucking clown shoes!!
woop woop brainwashing in schools lmao what an amazing idea, catch kids when they are teenagers, when they are looking for acceptance, and guess where some find it.... in rotc XD thats right kids you can join the U.S military, put your life on the line for meer pennies, while you make money for facists, but its ok because you will feel accepted.... you know street gangs work in the same way by recruiting those who ned acceptance, and they kill much less people and commit less crime LOL
MrGreeva did you ever think that some join the military not to "make money for facists" but instead because it gives them a sense of honor and pride.
I know all you do is play World of Warcraft and smoke weed and waste your life away but some people actually know what honor is and actually want to do something with their lives.
So go ahead and poke fun at those who want to risk their lives to protect your sorry ass, because it makes you look really cool.
@Spectre0160 no they dont protect me you fool, lmao you just eat out ofthe republicans hands dont you, you believe everything the media tells you, well just remember we found no WMDs, and maybe if your country hadnt been so corrupt as to sell Al qaeda weapons for oil then screw them over you wouldnt have got attacked which you WAY over reacted about btw lol
Well MrGreeva and you one of those that eat out of the liberals hands. And yes the US military doesnt always protect you since your from the UK but you guys have a military dont ya? So your military protects you so your wrong again.
Also, how the hell did we overact?!? They attacked us for no reason and killed over 3000 innocent civilians! Wow your dumb.
And for your info we didn't originally go there to find WMD's. We went there to kick out an oppressive regime.
@Spectre0160 ummm yeah you went to do that in the gulf war of the 90's lol have you not noticed there is an inquiery into the war atm? if you think back it was nothing to do with saddam's regime, and dont say they attacked for no reason! lol you fucked over al qeada years ago did you not know your country was in arms deals with them??? then you screwed them over and guess what they got there own back, and by over reacting i meant the state of fear that swept your country u shat yourselves lol
I still fail to see how we overreacted. I will say it again and hopefully you can put your ignorance aside to pay attention.
They attacked us and killed over 3000 innocent civilians, without warning, and without reason. Obviously we are going to be in a state of fear! Anyone with half a brain would be.
And yes we tried in the 90's to get rid of Saddam but the stupid politicians got in the way and made us stop. Dumb move, but that's politicians for you. So we went back and finished the job.
@Spectre0160 you over reacted because of the whole culture of fear and paranoia grew out of the 9/11 attacks, by all means i'm not saying it wasnt a terrible thing that happened coz it was...but you really could of handled it better, it was also an attack on the world banks for the evil they commit everyday, and there is no doubt saddam should have been killed along time ago, but we still shouldn't have started this "war on terrorism" it is unjust, immoral, and it ruins peoples lives everyday
@Spectre0160 my dad is in the royal marines and he has served in iraq, afghanistan and pakistan and they arent fighting a war, they are simply covering the tracks of the government, they are a front to take the public eye off the main issue, and that is the war stared to make our countries richer, but now that has really pissed off alll the insurgents and its just gunna be a vicious cycle that isnt going to end for a looong time.
Well we do agree on that for sure! If you want my honest opinion then yes the war itself is mostly wrong, and yes the government like always is fucking stuff up, and yes it wont end for a looong time. The idea of fighting terrorism to protect other is just and a good idea but the government has changed their agenda and now has "other motives" I'm sure.
In the beginning when you insulted those who risk their lives everyday is my reasoning this discussion.
you little bit** Instead of talking crap about these brave men and women, why dont you get a life and do something productive for yourself and for others like so these committed young men and women.
@swat90 commited to raping, torturing and making innocent civilians scared for theyre lives??? oh and b4 you get the wrong idea my father is in the royal marines and i still think all the things he does at work are evil, and since joining he has changed the way he thinks and acts..... brainwashing?? i think so
Its a fuckin war you dumbass, those shit happens. This world is far from being a perfect place you would like to have. Plus just because some minority group of service members are doing evil thing doesnt mean you should just assume everyone in the arm forces are doing terrible things.
@swat90 ummmm no these things dont have to happen in a war lmao, and no i dont assume all are doing these things but the fact that even 1 persons human rights are violated just to make money for all the little pies the government has its greasy little fingers in is in everyway wrong. This isnt a war WW2 was a war where we stood for good, this is just the equivelent of a bully stealing lunch money.
well, you are reasonably right. But you have to realize a lot of people join the military b/c they have to feed their family, not that they wanna go and do terrible things. As far as them being brainwashed, I mean the gov is not gonna tell them" oh guys this war is pointless and we shouldn't be here" They gonna try to motivate them and get whatever needs to get done. So that brain washing point is kinda inevitable.
@swat90 the brain washing i was talking about is the breaking down of soldiers and rebuilding them as tools for war i think my point is best portraied(spelling) in full metal jacket
Holy Crap I just figured out something, if its 40 push ups in two minutes I'm crazy fast! I did 73 in 53 sec! Holy shit

@SuRihtanil you have to drill from 6-7 mon wed fri and it is college just that you are taking military lab classes while at the college u attend but you dont get to enjoy the social activities such as smoking, drinking and partying as much as a regular student would because you are in rotc

Can you do the 43 pushups pausing?
Because I can't do 43 pushups straightforward,I have to pause.

I agree. I was enlisted, but my experience with the Army was for the most part great. Of course every branch is fantastic, just go with what feels right for you.

take it from someone who barely endured the horrors of spf changes from active duty AF to army natl guard. I am telling you this to help you. If you decide to go AF, whether active right out of high school, or through rotc, be prepared for endless mountains of paperwork that makes the other branches' paperwork like a third grade essay.

@samburger077 Your retarded "less weight to push up"... Ok just cuz were a guy doesn't mean were fat and have to push the fat up (Not alwes at least). There is a ratio for body weight and muscle. Im sure I rather pick alot of muscle to push and support my weight then just " Less weight" . Honestly do you people ever think before posting some idiotic comment?

@SNIPERRussian
damn, i thought that was AFTER basic, so you gota be in shape to enlist then
bigbadwolf3567 1 year ago
If I'm not mistaken, the enlistment requirements are something like 13 push-ups, 17 sit-ups, & an 8.5 minute mile for males, regardless of age. If you can do the 42 push-ups, 53 sit-ups, & 16 minute 2 mile before you leave, you get an instant promotion from Recruit to Private. So while you're at basic, you're earning $1600 monthly rather than $1400, & then you get it all when you graduate.

What's your fascination with bastardized middle school-style text slang? Just curious. And seeing as how I'm half a decade older than you, you've got way too much extra room in your pants to talk about balls dropping. You're just a little kid who's taking advantage of the impersonality of the internet to say stuff you wouldn't even have time to think of in real life before getting your ass kicked. Oh, you also said you can do 60 push-ups in a minute. Let's see a video.
samburger077 1 year ago
Mate the last word was a joke. Don't suppose you see many 'middle school' children with perfect grammar? If I made the video, you would just criticize me for things like 'Oh your not going down far enough' or something other stupid excuse when you realize I can do it. If you think I was joking then you are clearly mistaken.
1337NoobLord 1 year ago
Not many middle schoolers have perfect grammar. Most are capable of saying "Okay, thanks. Bye." And yes, I would like to critique your push-ups if necessary. If you're performing proper push-ups, I would have nothing to criticize. But even if you don't post a video of it, it's always good to watch a tape of yourself to make sure you have proper posture & a full rage of motion. It's impossible to know if you're doing something right until you see yourself do it.

@kero7642 Since you're 12 I'll inform you a bit. 43 pushups are the minimum. This is a starting point. Once you've shown that you can do the basics, you continually do better until you graduate than can do 71, which is the max, or more. There is also a run and situps to do so all your energy is not going to just pushups.

@smoke32123 umm ok where do i start....

woop woop brainwashing in schools lmao what an amazing idea, catch kids when they are teenagers, when they are looking for acceptance, and guess where some find it.... in rotc XD thats right kids you can join the U.S military, put your life on the line for meer pennies, while you make money for facists, but its ok because you will feel accepted.... you know street gangs work in the same way by recruiting those who ned acceptance, and they kill much less people and commit less crime LOL
MrGreeva 2 years ago
MrGreeva did you ever think that some join the military not to "make money for facists" but instead because it gives them a sense of honor and pride.
I know all you do is play World of Warcraft and smoke weed and waste your life away but some people actually know what honor is and actually want to do something with their lives.
So go ahead and poke fun at those who want to risk their lives to protect your sorry ass, because it makes you look really cool.

@Spectre0160 no they dont protect me you fool, lmao you just eat out ofthe republicans hands dont you, you believe everything the media tells you, well just remember we found no WMDs, and maybe if your country hadnt been so corrupt as to sell Al qaeda weapons for oil then screw them over you wouldnt have got attacked which you WAY over reacted about btw lol
MrGreeva 2 years ago
Well MrGreeva and you one of those that eat out of the liberals hands. And yes the US military doesnt always protect you since your from the UK but you guys have a military dont ya? So your military protects you so your wrong again.
Also, how the hell did we overact?!? They attacked us for no reason and killed over 3000 innocent civilians! Wow your dumb.
And for your info we didn't originally go there to find WMD's. We went there to kick out an oppressive regime.
Learn the facts kid.

MrGreeva 2 years ago
I still fail to see how we overreacted. I will say it again and hopefully you can put your ignorance aside to pay attention.
They attacked us and killed over 3000 innocent civilians, without warning, and without reason. Obviously we are going to be in a state of fear! Anyone with half a brain would be.
And yes we tried in the 90's to get rid of Saddam but the stupid politicians got in the way and made us stop. Dumb move, but that's politicians for you. So we went back and finished the job.
Spectre0160 2 years ago
@Spectre0160 you over reacted because of the whole culture of fear and paranoia grew out of the 9/11 attacks, by all means i'm not saying it wasnt a terrible thing that happened coz it was...but you really could of handled it better, it was also an attack on the world banks for the evil they commit everyday, and there is no doubt saddam should have been killed along time ago, but we still shouldn't have started this "war on terrorism" it is unjust, immoral, and it ruins peoples lives everyday

@Spectre0160 my dad is in the royal marines and he has served in iraq, afghanistan and pakistan and they arent fighting a war, they are simply covering the tracks of the government, they are a front to take the public eye off the main issue, and that is the war stared to make our countries richer, but now that has really pissed off alll the insurgents and its just gunna be a vicious cycle that isnt going to end for a looong time.
MrGreeva 2 years ago
Well we do agree on that for sure! If you want my honest opinion then yes the war itself is mostly wrong, and yes the government like always is fucking stuff up, and yes it wont end for a looong time. The idea of fighting terrorism to protect other is just and a good idea but the government has changed their agenda and now has "other motives" I'm sure.
In the beginning when you insulted those who risk their lives everyday is my reasoning this discussion.

@swat90 ummmm no these things dont have to happen in a war lmao, and no i dont assume all are doing these things but the fact that even 1 persons human rights are violated just to make money for all the little pies the government has its greasy little fingers in is in everyway wrong. This isnt a war WW2 was a war where we stood for good, this is just the equivelent of a bully stealing lunch money.
MrGreeva 2 years ago
well, you are reasonably right. But you have to realize a lot of people join the military b/c they have to feed their family, not that they wanna go and do terrible things. As far as them being brainwashed, I mean the gov is not gonna tell them" oh guys this war is pointless and we shouldn't be here" They gonna try to motivate them and get whatever needs to get done. So that brain washing point is kinda inevitable.
