wow for people who took over 12 mins to do 1.5 miles, wtf is wrong with you? Im only 17 and I done 3miles today, 1.5 in 10:19, 3 in 21:36, and that's only after a couple of weeks of practice, we Were running with some marines today In saltwell park.
Takes a real machine to do 25 controlled overhand pull up's, and definaetly no bigger guys will be doing more than 15 reps. The manlets have a major advantage on the pulls, little scrawny guys can be significantly weaker and do more pulls than a bloke 4 stone heavier than them.
@Supplementreviewdude Yes, its the 3 Mile Run done on Day 1 of PRMC around 0800. 1st 1.5 Mile in 12:30 and the second done in 10:30 or less. But, If you get 10:28 you still may fail if you don't dig out blind on all the other excersises. Remember they are not looking for Supermen they are looking for blokes who can give that commitment and put his mates first not some phys ninja who is jack as fuck !
Training for my PRMC now. Can only manage 40 of the Marine press-ups without stopping, though. Not so good, but i'm working on it! Only just got back into training. Can crack out 100 sit-ups in one go, and 9 pull-ups. Good luck to anyone going on their PRMC soon.
@mike0mike Your stats are good, if you can do 40 in private, you'll be able to crack out at least 45 on the day (a lot more motivation) which is more than enough to pass. When I did it, I think I got about 47 press ups, 80 sit ups and barely 1-2 pull ups (annoyingly when I tried pulling myself up, my body started to cramp up really badly so I had to drop off, wasn't to do with strength) and I passed, but I was still in school at the time so they were probably a bit more lenient with me.
isn't that bad for your arms to lower yourself every time you lifted yourself. So when your arms are completley stratched. I thougt that wasn't good for you
Seems to be some misunderstanding here. The USMC fitness test is carried out every 6 months in their careers, according to the US military websites. The INITIAL FITNESS TEST is minimum 2 pulls ups, 35 sit ups and 1.5 miles in 13:30.
The RMC fitness test is used PRIOR TO JOINING to see if you have the POTENTIAL to get through training.
Both these forces are different, so comparing them is futile. The RMC put more emphasis on endurance and strength for their commando role.
If you struggle with pullups then the best thing to do is jump up on the bar so your chin is at the top, then slowly move down and then drop, repea this and you will eventually find pullups easy.
bud, big guys usually arent worth shit if you need someone with stamina or agility. little guys keep going and ging as long as they need to. and alot of them are almost as strong as the big beach muscled fags at the gym
@chrlzbrks my apologies that we arent all over sized and useless. i lift with power lifters an wanna be body builders, and no matter if they bench 500 and squat 600 they still cant work for shit cus they have no endurance and nowhere near enough energy to power those muscles. do a summer or two as an iron worker or construction laborer and see where bein big gets your sorry ignorant ass
@str94100 it depends my friend on what your doing, if your beasting 100 pounds on ya back for miles on end being heavier and having the mussle mass on you, you will be able to lug threw it easier throw that 100 pound pack around easier, but to lift ya own body weight is harder cause ya heaver, every body type has its advantages and disadvantages.
I was just wondering mate, you know on the three mile run, what are the rules for it? I got told it was none stop but you had to complete 1.5 miles in 12:30 mins then without stopping an all out run which you had to complete the remaining half within 10 minutes, i can only get about 35 push ups in and im running about 3 miles twice a week then the other two days of workout i run 0.5 miles in about 2:40, is this a good way to work up to the standards?
No you gotta train more than that mate, I run 3-4 days a week at least 24 miles a week in total and strength training weights and body weight exercises 5-6 days a week max number of pullups and like 1400+ situps and push ups a week. You really have to work on your cardio, endurance runs few days a week like 6-12 miles each run helps build your stamina and VO2 Max.
Push ups Sit ups and Pull ups whenever you can and interval training at least 6 times a week, thats 200m sprint 100m jog recovery and so on, also do some long runs and tabs in the mornings when your muscle are still recovering.
Hello mate, best way to work the muscles for pull ups is to go to a gym, use the lateral pull down machine to strengthen your muscles until you can lift your own weight I found this helped me a lot when i was in your situation which wasn't that long ago!
I'm training at home to join the marines just getting my body fit enough.. Do they require a bleep test with heaves? If so how many heaves are you expected to do? Cheers
this is why im not joining the marines. i want to and i have the heart but not the body. i just dont think i have what it physically takes. mentally yes. physically no.
trust me man im tryin. i enjoy exercising its dieting thats hard. because i come from a family that was raised on soul food so i love greasy fried foods and such. but ive been trying, ive lost about 9 pounds over the summer.
plenty of cardio and a strict diet, they aint looking for supermen, just men who won't ever stop until ordered to. Do your best and you'll meet your goals, you can always be stronger, you can always be fitter.
i went into the mariens last year bit of fat Totally out of Shave after the course i was a monster.. i couldntt Bairly do anything For atleast week and half. You get trained thats the whole point you dont need training before hand they work you like a fucking DOG till your Marien strong its totally worth it great experince dont Let your Body Discourage you
I am not an expert at all. I got all my info from the Royal Marines website. But all I know is that the minimum requirement to pass is 6 reps. You get more points for anything you get above that and I believe you score maximum points at 16 reps. But you can double check on the website.
20 is like the max in the PFT test for the USMC. I think like 3 is. I'm gonna guess 10 is like the average, it really just depends on your body fat percentage and weight.
i have seen ppl do 40+. i know a Staff Sergeant who in one hour can do about 300 pull-ups/chin ups with our dismounting. there deff are ppl out here like that. you just gotta know where to find em
I totally agree with you on that point bweltermike. When i started pull ups I couldn't do more than 4 SERIOUSLY..now I'm on 15..so that in yur saying u can do 37..I REALLY DO NOT find that an impossible feat AT ALL.....I even trying to do muscle ups right now in fact..Cant even do a single ONE as yet but I WILL be able to some day..I just know it..
What's the average number of pull-ups required for a Royal Marine? US marines have 20 ideal, but their average is only 10, with 3 being the bare minimum.

New PRMC Scores, due to increase in numbers:
1.5/1.5 = 12:30 / 10:30
60 Press-Ups = 85 MAX
85 Sit-Ups = 100 MAX
10 Pull-Ups = 16 MAX
All must be completed in perfect form.
But beware, Failing to Prepare is Prepairing to Fail.
