I have a PFT to do this evening and I just drank a cup of coffee without thinking about it. Is there anyway to make sure I don't cramp up this evening? I am probably being overly paranoid but after working 9.5 hours, a PFT is not something I am looking forward to as is so I don't want to make it worse than it needs to be.

I've heard of a lot of people who drink a cup of coffee before each and every workout. I wouldn't worry about it. But I would drink a lot of water today to get/keep yourself hydrated.

concur

Concur, I used to drink coffee an hour before a race.. there is medical research on positive benefits of caffeine prior to racing/working out.. (stimulating heart rate/blood flow etc)

Youll be fine and goodluck..

One cup should help more than hurt if you hydrate normally the rest of the time.
Don't sweat it (pun intended).

E6, Why r you running a pft for score.? Did you get into 190?

 

[E6286]

I am going for 190 at the board being held this thursday. Its a second board bc the ppl. in charge of waivers messed up so they decided to hold a second board. I ended up with a 268 - 20 pullups, 95 crunches, 22:26 run. Shoulda been over 270 but all and all not bad. Now back to waiting...........

Good Luck. I'm in the same boat. I have to do another PFT in the morning for the 9-8 board. My last one was a 291.

Hope to see you in October.

wow, you didn't get selected for an air contract with a 291 last time?

 

[stevo01]

268 isnt bad...man, those damn crunches kill too. cant hit 100, my quads give out.. Wish you the best, let me know what happens

 

[E6286]

Thanks man. Yeah, I shoulda had 100. I did 70 in a minute and then died at like 80. 95 is getting closer at least. Its my run that needs real work.......
