Thank you
@Anna C @godjira1 @Bunn @WhatWouldHulkDo @Don Fairbanks @Bro Mo for your tips and advices, and I would like to apologize you for not providing full information about my current training and numbers in each event. Let me write that now:
- Swim: not measured (due to the covid situation I wasn't able to go to a swimming pool)
- Run: 3k time not measured, though I'm running and working on it
- Shuttle run: not measured
- Pull-up: 10 reps
- Push-up: about 35-40 reps
- Sit-ups: about 60-70 reps
- Burpees: about 20 reps
- Row: not measured , situatuin similar to swimming issue
- Wall Ball Squat: not measured
- Broad Jump: not measured
- Dips: around 10 reps
My current weekly regime includes:
- S&S practiced daily
- Running 3x; from short distance like today's 5k to longer runs 16+ km
- Rucking 1x
- Calisthenics: Pull-ups, Push-ups, ABS, Burpees.
When it comes to time for preparation there are about 40 weeks.
@godjira1 you have right, I should have start from checking all of the requirements to see where I am and on which event I should focus more. Unfortunately the covid situation made lot of things impossible to accomplish.
@Bunn I'm building endurance like you wrote, by running and rucking, and trying to figure out how to structure the rest. I have more than 9 months and it will not be easy to meet all of the requirements, but I hope to get as close as possible.
@WhatWouldHulkDo I like long runs, even more than short fast distances, but the latter are needed too. So maybe at least one session within a week will be focused on speed. I'm thinking about focusing on Push/Pull/Squat scheme but I will avoid burning.
Do your instructors know your skill set and will they have the time to give you a different set of 8 compared to others in testing class?
Event if they know it prior to the day of tests, candidates don't, and on a test day everyone would have to complete the same 8 exercises.
If I had 8 weeks to smoke those 11 skills, my training would not come from a book. My training would come from the 11 tests.
You have right, and I'm not going to a gym and do Bench Presses or Biceps Curls. Rather I'm going to focus on those movements that are helpful, such as pushups, pullups, squats.
@Bro Mo I would like to structure my regime around principles you have wrote above. I do not know what weight should I use but I think that up to 20lbs should be good. How many sets would you recommend for movements? I understand that
anti glycolytic at the beginning for more aerobic base
is the key, and I have to admit that the idea is closer to my heart rather than burning and going all-out at every workout.
