I did a PFT today, (USMC), with the goal of a first class score, and I did not get that lol

3 mile run: 22:21
Pull Up Max Set: 5
Plank Max Set: 2:21

I am doing another soon but the low score for pull ups on one attempt was a little humbling and a really big let down for me. I am going to work only on lifting exercises that will increase the pull ups score. Goal is to get 9 pull ups on the next one, get that plank to 3 minutes and just lower the 3 mile run a bit. I was running fast asf on the run so I doubt I'll improve that within a week much.

Did crossfit yesterday. It was a lot of Cindy where a Cindy is:

  • 5 pullups
  • 10 pushups
  • 15 air squats

So the workout was:

  • Run 300m
  • 5 x Cindy
  • Run 300m
  • 4 x Cindy
  • Run 300m
  • 3 x Cindy
  • Run 300m
  • 2 x Cindy
  • Run 300m
  • 1 x Cindy
  • Run 300m

This is 75 pullups, 150 pushups and 225 air squats. You're allowed to do the pullups or anything however you like, but kipping is generally the way to go.

Most of my peers must've thought this was too easy because they put on weighted vests. I wasn't feeling like self-harming myself too much, so scaled pullups down to 2 per Cindy, Push-ups to 9 so I could do 3 x 3 and air squats are a snooze so left them alone.

The scaled down amount of pullups were easy, the air squats a breeze, but push-ups were hard. I did a little less than half on my knees, so maybe a little over 70 strict and 60 something on my knees.

So I'm still the weakest crossfit gym member, but I didn't finish last as scaling it down gave me a time advantage 😅 and there was no time limit so although people don't dally (me included), it did give me time to catch my breath now and then and not die.
