30 minute spin cycle warm up
hour of free weights
30 minutes interval training on the treadmill warm down

feeling great
 
3 sets of the following to failure:

Chin ups
pull ups
bent over row
standing row
reverse curls
bicep curls

It definitely gave me the endorphin boost that I needed. My upper body is finally starting to look triangle-y but I think my traps and shoulders need more work, I'm still pretty thin front to back.

I need to hit the lower body tomorrow. My ass has all but disappeared.

last two days' workouts have been half track (drills/sprints) + half pool (strength work/mileage).

i guess my left leg is getting better (or at least not much worse), but it's really starting to frustrate me. the worst part is that i'm healthy enough to race (and near my peak for this training cycle), but i'm afraid if i just went ahead and went for it i'd push this issue from "nagging" to "acute." though at the same time, i'm not ready to just scratch the next few weeks and possibly lose fitness. i'm only really racing for time at this point (and i've put down some good ones already), but it really sucks knowing how fast i am right now and not being able to do shit about it.

grateful for ibuprofen and swimming pools i guess. people think i'm kidding when i say running is the strongest drug i've ever been addicted to.
 
3mile run
100 pushups
100 military crunches
~50 military presses with free weights
Pull ups

Its my daily routine, gettin ready for Paris Island

Shitty part is I cant take any OTC meds because I seem to have a weird reaction where they show up as drugs on my drug tests for MEPS. I was positive for PCP and Benzos and all I took was NSAIDs and Bendryl.

You want to be in good shape when you get there, of course, but really, the whole experience will be about 95% mental/ 5% physical.

Yea I was told 30% physical from my recruiter, but Fuck man I wanna be the best when there. So Imma push myself to be the best.

So far today just swam laps because I woke up with latic acid build up from working out before bed, I was bored and it was stupid.
 
^One of the biggest mistakes I made in preparing for boot camp was focusing exclusively on exercise.

If one of your goals is a perfect PFT, then I would advise you to be able to hit 20 pull ups before shipping out. Maybe a 20-21 minute run time. Don't even worry about the sit ups.

But I think the best thing you can do is learn to march and drill. I am very uncoordinated, and I often mix up left and right, and so on. And, boy, I sure paid the price for that short-coming.
 
^ I didn't know what PFT meant. According to Urban Dictionary, it means "Penis Fly Trap."

5,3,1,3,5 Deadlift
4x10 Seated Row
4x10 Bent-Over Barbell Row
3x12 Dumbell Row
3x12 Widegrip Pulldowns
3x12 Narrow-Grip Pulldowns
2x15 Good Mornings

^now that's a back workout.


PFT = physical fitness test. In the Marines, if you want a perfect score, you must do 20 chin ups, 100 sit ups (two minutes), and run 3 miles in 18 minutes.
 
The PFT that "counts" occurs at the end of boot camp, and is done in regular shorts & t-shirts.

But you do take an "abbreviated" PFT when you enter boot camp. To pass, you need 3 chin ups, about ~50 sit ups and about ~13 minutes on a 1.5 mile run. If you fail this, you go to "fat camp", which is where you'll stay till you can pass.
