Could You Pass Army Physical Requirements?

[GobbleDog 984]

Never timed myself so I GIS mapped my neighborhood for today's run.

1 mile in 10 minutes, 5 seconds 

Didn't walk any of it. 

[dogcows 1,030]

Yes! (but not for the Rangers)

[frank 2,276]

For the sake of our country, I certainly hope not.

I felt like I may have had a topic on this years ago about what events we could actually beat Special Olympics kids in. And I think we listed like the times and results of things and it wasn’t very many. Lol.

so I’m guessing marine shiit is probably even worse

Sure, how many weeks do I get to complete it?

[BunnysBastatrds 2,318]

 Noo way. I’m my early thirties, yes, i believe I could have.

I'm in the Excellent/Outstanding range

APFT Standards – Male (Ages 37-41)

Level of Performance	Points	Push-Ups	Sit-Ups	2 Mile Run
Maximum	100	73	76	13:36
Outstanding	90	63	67	14:48
Excellent	75	49	52	16:30
Good	60	34	38	18:18
Satisfactory Medium	50	24	29	19:30
Probationary	45	19	24	20:06

I may use this as some training goals.  Before my cancer I could have done the max pushups and situps easily; the run would be the challenge -- I could do a 9 minute pace for 4 miles (training for the Pat's Run which is 4.2 miles), but never pushed a 2 mile number.  I wonder how many pushups I could do now without my pec major muscle on my left side (I may try tomorrow).

We got any Army Rangers?

Physical and health conditions yes. Push ups, sit ups, pull ups and hike - yes.

I’d fail at the run and probably the swim.

They don’t use the APFT anymore. They use the ACFT. The run time is slower, but there are 6 events now.

Thanks.  I skimmed through some of the training links; I like how they differentiate strength and power, along with other components of fitness for an overall assessment.

 I would on a good day be in the good/excellent range. PU, SU , and running I’d be right on the cusp. I couldn’t do pull ups or climb the rope, or do the pegs. Even in my twenties. I wonder what the marines gauge is?
