    The ball throw tip is good
    The plank rule is you can have your feet more than a fist length away.
    For the sprint drag carry, practice running backwards, it works your calves and it’s what people usually go the slowest on. I scored a 1:15

    Elbows out will wreck your shoulders; teach good form/ technique and build strength through full range of motion, don’t rely on “hacks” to just pass. A good Soldier is fit, physically and mentally tough. This doesn’t happen in a day. Take time, build your body and team. Stay strong!

      did you know that, by regs, if the sprint drag carry is being done inside, the weight of the sled is to be doubled from 90 to 180?
      *_I didn't!_* that's more than 20 pounds over _my_ weight. worst part is I was actually feeling good right until I got to the end and turned back around, and I looked at the guy next to me. sure enough, 4 plates. then it started really hurting, lol.
