Congrats man and thanks for your service!

Yes the above is correct I am 5'8 and weigh 145 and body fat I do not know. Currently, I run as long as I can at a nice pace and I drop throughout the day and push till I can't. I'm not on any kind of diet, I pretty much eat whatever the hell I want. I don't take vitamins or anything like that.

Yes I am serious. I'm not a huge eater so a lot of the time I make myself eat and its chicken or something but its not a huge amount.

Quick question to anyone..... Some of you have been saying eat a steak and by that you mean protein. The problem i'm having is I just don't eat enough of steak or chicken to really help me so is there a supplement that I can buy that is safe that helps with protein intake?

I maybe can get 2 pull ups before I drop. I know I know, i'm either half female or really really weak.

Push Ups Flat Lined Alright well the push ups have maxed out over the past few weeks. Could body weight be from me doing more? I'm 5'8 at 145. I'm not sure what normal weight is either but I have a little muscle but I can't do more than 10-15 push ups before falling to the deck.

Real college is cool and everything but call me crazy, i'd rather be at USNA.

Ahh...what I would give to be finishing my plebe year right now........

If you care about being in the military and being in the Navy then take the slots they gave you and be proud that they accepted you. There are people that want to be in the Navy bad and can't so be proud and take what they think your suited for.

No it wouldn't change my mind because I do the best I can and I study and everything. I just wanted to know if failing a class would really stick out to the Navy when I submit for BDCP or OCS, that was my main concern.

I got a 53 on my first test, mainly because I was nervous I think. There are 3 in class tests and they EACH count 20% of our grade then there is a final which is worth 30%. There is also a participation grade and thats 10% of our grade.

Has anyone here failed a class and still made it in the Navy? I ask because I started out bad in American Government and if I ace everything from now on, the highest grade I can get is a 91.

Will the Navy accept a person with a degree in geology? It only requires pre calculus so its not overly technical. Just give me some examples of degree's they have accepted and if you think geology would be a good acceptable degree.

Graduated last month and going to a junior college to get my math and science classes up to calculus and physics. Um....... I can do a mile and half in about 14 mins or so which isn't that good I don't think push i'm working on and sit ups are good. Can't think of anything else but if you need...

I have actually questions about the process. I mean I know how the process works and everything I was just going to ask what would make my application look better. I know I have to get involved with some extracurricular activities but thats about all I know right now.

Alright well thats two people, anyone else?

Yeah their pretty expensive. The thing I hate about them and probably keeps me away is that in the weight section all the guys there are sooooo much bigger than me so I would have to take off a crap load of weight. Also I don't like to be judged so I don't wanna be there just bench pressing the...

I don't go to the gym but maybe I should start.

In 10th grade I was told that I torn a part of my ACL but I think it healed on its on and since then I think my knee muscles are weak so I may need to start to strengthen them. Anything else beside riding a bicycles or squats?

I may just go out and get a top of the line running shoe to save some pain and maybe money depending on how good they are. I'll have to look and see what I find at the store and also online.

Alright i'll look into those. I'm trying to keep my budget under $70 if I can because i'll only be running 3-5 times a week.

I wear a pair of New Balance everyday. Their not no special shoe or anything their just comfortable to me. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money for running shoes because I have other stuff I need also but if I find some asics i'll jump on them.

Yeah, its late here and i've been up since 7:30am this morning so my grammar isn't going to be great, sorry for that. I meant to say that there isn't any special running store around here. We have Finish Line, Foot Locker, Champs, Dicks Sporting Goods and stores like that.

There isn't no running store around it besides Finish Line or Foot Locker and I need a motion control shoe since i'm flat footed.

Well I have some what of a flat foot but I have a little arch.

Has anyone here attended the Coast Guard Academy? Doesn't matter how long just have you attended it.

So ordering off the website isn't in the picture?

The Apple ones work fine around the house but when your running and doing all kinds of motion, its like they have oil or something on them.

When I run I can't get the apple earbuds to stay in my ear and I wear them correctly, I think.

Well i'm about to start running every day and just get back into running. I haven't been running for about 4 months and I think its time. Now my old running shoes are on its last leg and their pretty tight on my feet so i'm going to buy some new ones. I found some cheap shoes on finishline's...

I forgot what its called but I can use both my hands equally.

I wasn't thinking about it. I just tried different things and that is what I found out.

I figured something out. I can do more push ups with my hands father apart and I can do more push ups with my feet on my bed. What does this mean?

I'll probably go to one of the colleges in Arizona to get away from the parents and if I don't like it I can always transfer back to one in GA.

Yeah i've never been out west or anything and I applied to the school because I heard they have a ROTC program and its a good school. I want to go and visit the city this summer and look around the campus and see how I like the school and the weather they have.

I think someone said on here one time that its like $2,000 per eye and it depends on what doctor you go to.

Well I live in Georgia and I have a accepted letter for Arizona State and University of Arizona as well as a few in California and I just didn't really how it would be having to fly home for all holidays and then the first drive out there.

I've been accepted to some schools near here and some way out of state. I would like to go out of state but i've never lived away from home. Would it be worth it to take the risk and go across the USA for college?

I guess I'm just going to start doing some kind of routine each day and eventually i'll build up.

I think if you go to http://www.nsgreatlakes.navy.mil/otcp/ you can find a list of things that they suggest to bring but you can always bring stuff and leave in your car if you chose to drive.

Do you know how long a wait it is for childhood asthma waiver, like last symptom was 8 year old?

How many months did you do this for?

How so?

No. My front part of my shoulders begin to hurt and then my shoulders behind my neck begin to hurt.

For me it seems like my back and shoulders gives out during push ups. My triceps seem like their pretty good for the most part.

Dips?

What is the correct form?

Good luck and post your experience when your feeling up to it.

For the past few weeks i've been focusing on building up my triceps pretty good. I also heard a few people say that its all about your back and building that up so I don't know what to believe. I'll probably just try a few different things like doing the set on ever hour from doing 10 in one set...

Whats the best way to increase the number of push ups you can do?
