Taking my second PFT tomorrow and thought I'd dump a quick post on here to see if there were any tips I'm missing to get that extra pullup/crunch etc. I scored a 197 (13/67/23:48) on my first PFT. My goal tomorrow is to get the minimum to submit my app for class 190 in October. After achieving that minimum I intend to train hard as hell and work on getting it up to a competitive range before selection. Anyways, the tips I have so far:
1. On pullups, drop after your chin is above the bar. This conserves energy by letting your muscles relax before the next pullup.
2. Crunches, same idea as the pullups, let your stomach relax and your body drop to conserve energy and prepare you for the next crunch.
4. Run, start slow and finish fast. Obviously don't start super slow, but start slow enough that you'll be able to do a flat run for the last 1/4 mile.
Those are the tips I have, are there any others out there that people have found tend to help?
My goal is to get a minimum of 16/80 on the pullups/crunches. That should push me over the edge into the first class PFT rating where I can submit my app for OCS
