The tip of letting gravity do the work is a great one that really only works for this type of pushup. Thanks man, your channel is really helpful. I hope everyone who plans to go the RASP route arms themselves with the proper time, knowledge and body to make it happen.
For those who don’t know the microbiological mechanism behind creatine and why it’s a huge not only exercise boost but overall health boost is when your cells use atp during exercise or executive functions the P in ATP is phosphate. When your body uses energy atp donates its phosphate group to power the action then it inactivates as ADP until another phosphate group is donated to ADP to make ATP again. Creatine holds and gives that phosphate group right after energy is used maximizing energy production. This means you’ll be able to go further for longer and this is what causes the increased physical performance in creatine athletes. It’s completely safe at 5g per day and is already endogenously synthesized in the body. The fact they allow creatine for rasp is a huge game changer and you’d be remiss to not take advantage of this!
From the people who've gone through that I've talked to, it's really not required to train it specifically, especially when you're already like 3x the standard. Where you're at with pull ups is fine, I think the two most important events by far are the push ups and the run.
More pull-ups unfortunately. If you can do 14 strict pull ups, start doing weight pull-ups. Or if for some reason you’re really not into weight pull-ups, the recon Ron pull-up program bred many usmc force recon guys for years.
@@gen-zboomer appreciate the info man, yeah run and push ups seem to be the hardest I’m at 50 t push ups and a 40 min 5 mile but I still have 2 months to improve before I ship out
@@savionb.7280 yeah I’m doing weighted pull ups like once a week. I can do do 6 with 25lbs. In gonna try to add more weighted pull ups throughout the week
My shoulders feel a lot of strain on them when i do dips I can do push-ups just fine but dips are harsh on my shoulders which limits my weight i can add. Any tips on how to improve shoulder strength ?
@@kenstorm7965 thanks. I've always been hesitant to use creatine or caffeine to train for SFAS because I don't want to get used to anything that I wont have access to during selection
You should repeat the test but switch the order of which method you try just to rule out the possibility that you were just more warmed up for that second set
It bothers me that it's 2024 and we're still judging soldiers based on how many push ups they can do lol. Do you think it has any correlation to combat effectiveness? EDIT; guys I'm not saying fitness doesn't matter, I'm saying 50 vs 80-100 push ups doesn't matter for actual combat effectiveness
@@NGsaurus my point was to ask the question of whether being able to do 50 vs 100 pushups should really matter that much. Once someone can do 50 push ups I'd rather they focus on things like rucking, running, general functional strength and intelligence
Why you so fucking awesome bro?
At pre rasp, creatine is contraband. People use and don’t hydrate leading to more heat cats
Is caffeine considered “contraband”?
That’s the only reservation I’d have about creatine supplementation pre or during rasp is needing to maintain an increased consumption of water

Shipping to osut today, going to drop a packet for rasp when I get the chance! Thanks for the tips man 💪🏾

Would love a video on pull ups! I can do 14 strict pull ups right now. Ship out in two months with an option 40 and what to increase my pull ups

The Creatine plug was exactly like the Valhalla vft one lol

creatine allowed in basic?
No
I tried creatine . it made me bigger but not stronger.T he weight was just water. so i quit after a while
So for the workout plan should I substitute the 2 min amrap push up sets for t push ups?
@@nikolasekulic673 That’s probably a good idea because t push ups engage more of your shoulders and you don’t want them to burn out before your chest.
@@jstewthompson Sounds good I’ll do that then. Thank you bro!
Can you do T push ups on knuckles? I have chronic wrist pain when and i've been doing push ups/burpees on my knuckles or handles for years now.
The only reason you would do a T push-up is for the military, just try doing regular push-ups with higher intensity / volume 🤙🏻
I think he's asking if knuckle T-Push ups are allowed in military tests
Not allowed. Fingers must be extended
Do you know if creatine is allowed at SFAS?
@@ExtraRice365 I’m not sure
I think they don’t because of heat catting
No supplements allowed during sfas

@@ExtraRice365 I assure you I was warmed up for both
@@jstewthompson just my inner science nerd coming out lol
@@ExtraRice365 he would only do worse on the second set, because he probably used most of what was in his reserve on the first
RFT no longer has sit ups??
@@FreeBirdVince it’s the plank. Mentioned in the video
Hey bro I sent you 3 questions on our Google doc. If you can answer them that’d be awesome, take your time.

So you expect the Army to take people who aren’t fit to combat? Ok buddy.
yes
LOL.

How much did you weigh going threw rasp?
I was lighter around 168-170 I believe
@@jstewthompsonhow tall were you
