A question aimed at graduates of OCS, but anyone feel free to answer.
I'm trying to improve my sit up numbers using the training plan on navy-prt.com. I use a sit up bar and made moderate improvement using that plan. (28 year old male, 79 push ups, 66 sit ups) I only did 48 sit ups on my initial test.
When I was active duty I didn't like to train doing push ups since they were less comfortable and less effective (for me) when it was time to take the PRT. I lifted free weights while lying on a bench and would generally do eighty something push ups on the prt. Sit ups were always a problem though.
The question is will sit up training with weights help when I report to OCS? Is lifting free weights recommended?
Also here's a link I found on improving prt performance
