Wet Army PFT

Preamble:

YHC was inspired Meltdown and The Wreck to do a little test of the Pax fitness levels to start out 2022, so Army PFT time it was…

6 pax showed up early for a 2.5 mile pre-ruck in the rain… Strong dedication amongst this group of Pax that has become quite the consistent base showing up early every day and the base of solid numbers

Warm-O-Rama:

YHC thought the Pax needed a little extra warm-o-rama after a couple of difficult days to start the week and the Army PFT coming up…

Quick mosey to the pavilion to escape the rain for a few minutes

All in cadence:

• x10 – SSH, Don Quixote, Moroccan Night Clubs, Copperhead Squats, Skol Claps
• x8 – Don Quixote, bear hugs, copperhead squats
• x7 – Don Quixote, merkins, hold a catchers stance to loosen up the legs a little more

The Thang:

YHC provided the instructions for the Army PFT and off we went

• 2 mile run (recover/stretch and a bit of Mary for the six)
• 2 minutes of merkins (all together)
• 2 minutes of big boy sit ups (pair up with one pax holding the other’s feet)

We had a few minutes remaining after finishing the PFT so…

• 21 LBC in cadence
• Queue up Thunderstruck for burpees every time they say the word Thunder (27 in total)

COT:

Pax instructed to note their numbers on the PFT so that when we repeat the test later this year we all have something to compare against.

Standards can be referenced via this LINK

Naked-Man Moleskin:

YHC proud that he would still pass the 18 year old standards with his numbers this morning…

• 2 mi run – 14:23
• 2 min push ups – 62
• 2 min sit ups – 65
