Hello everyone,
I am an active duty Marine hoping to find some advice for prepping for my Combat Fitness Test this year and specifically the ammo can press event. Here is a link for a demo of the exercise:
To get max points this year (the standards just got harder) I have to do 120 of these with a 30lbs ammo can in 2 minutes.
My question is how would you recommend training for this? Should I GTG with this specific press and weight, do ROP, work volume on heavier kb clean and press, etc?
Background/context: I am 32, 160lbs (9%ish bf). I just finished 16 weeks of Simple and Sinister and was working with the 32kg but havent reached the standard yet. I have about 16 weeks before the test. In previous years (on old standards) I did 100 in 2 minutes but was pretty gassed by the end of it and would like for it to be easier. I will also be training loaded carries and sprints/swings for the other events.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
