Dude, I'm so sexy!

**Prussian to the Iron** · 01-30-2011, 03:49

So for a while now I've been on my self-imposed regimen of at least 30 pushups every day (morning, midday, night, and usually several sets of 10 inbetween), and at least 60 sit-ups a day, all at once in the middle of the day. Been trying pull-ups as well, but I'm garbage at those

.

But anyway, I came home tonight from baby-sitting, and immediately took off my shirt because they have several dogs and my little brother is kinda allergic. After doing this, I went into my parents room looking for a ride to my friends birthday party/sleepover (they're not here!!!!), and noticed myself, topless with jeans, in the mirror.

And man, I am a sexy dude. I mean usually I'm really modest and don't like to brag, but...damn. From what I looked like before to seeing myself like this, it's pretty awesome.

Of course I need to continue so I can do really well on the PFT when I go through OCS, since pilots have to have at least a 225, preferably over 240. Cobra Pilots, more specifically.

But still, it feels so good flexing and actually seeing like...muscles! all over the place! On cloud 9 right now, feelin really confident, like I could probably do anything right now.

Congratulations, now join those of us in the weight gain thread who have seen muscles and want more of them.

And keep your shirt on.

Why are you warming up?

**Crazed Rabbit** · 01-30-2011, 05:42

That's neat.

Back in high school, the girls on the cross country team would do 25 push ups. Two sets of 25, that is.

Get some!

It's always better to be in shape before you get in, and then it's constant maintenance.

I used to have a couple of certificates of appreciation from the Commandant for maxing that thing.

But in those days we had more events. One was a rope climb and at the moment I can’t remember the others.

They must be getting soft.

I bet they don’t even make you do the run in boots anymore.

But that was in the dark ages. The Commandant was Gen. Green

Dude! You do know that means a minimum of 75% or 80% in each event don’t you?

Also that is back to back and no breaks in between. It tests endurance. Double your pushups is about a passing score for what you want along with 66 sit-ups and 2 miles in under 14:24.

If you work at it, it is not so hard though.

**Prussian to the Iron** · 01-30-2011, 19:41

the sit-ups are supposed to be pretty easy, and i did the max today in under 2 minutes so i have that down basically, the pull-ups will be my real challenge, and it's a 3-mile run, which I could probably get in under 21:00, with enough training before hand (another 5-7 years, which is plenty of time). I'll probably add in a mile or 2 run every so often in the spring or summer.

I am gonna do Track this year though, so that will definitely help.

Fisherking I think they changed alot since you've done it; it's pull-ups, sit-ups (2-minute time limit), and 3-mile run currently. My 36 year old dad made a 280 on his last one, and tells me that most of the candidates coming through OCS score well into the latter half of the 200's. Doesn't mean I'll treat it any less seriously, but it's different now than what you think.

BTW I actually went to the current Comandants house for a party with my parents, apparently OCS got special seating and stuff; front-row seats to all the drill, as well as getting to walk through the house and meeting lots of high-up people.

I had the misimpression you were doing the APRT. But then you did say Cobra Pilot... I had forgotten about your USMC background.

Yes pull ups can be tough. That is where you need the training program.

My last PFT was in 98 and that was the 3 event model then.

My cousin was at a party at a retired general’s home some years ago and he brought up my name. He may or may not have remembered me...and the bone headed stunt he spoke of.
