These aren’t cheats, just really good technique. I’ll teach you the best cheat ever that I learned in the 82nd that almost doubled my push-up score. Start doing your push-ups in the position he showed you. When you start to max out, rotate your hands slightly inward and start doing push-ups that way. When you max out in that position, rotate your hands even farther inward and go until you max out that way. After you’ve maxed out rotating your hands inward, rotate them all the way back to the way you were and continue doing push-ups. When you get tired that way, rotate them outward, so on and so forth. You’ll find this is triggering slightly different areas in your muscles and give you chest and arm strength you didn’t even know you had. My sit-up cheat you have probably already heard of. After you come up, let gravity throw your body to the ground. Never lower yourself to the ground. Sit-ups should feel like you're slapping the sh#t out of the ground with your body! Here is my 2 mile run cheat: nothing, it’s absolutely miserable and I hate freaking running. Here’s to the bad #sses who can go infantry for an entire career!
I'm prior AF but doing Army ROTC. Our pushups (AF) were designed for one minute but the Army does it for 2. I use this method during my APFT and never get less than 80 pushups. Extremely helpful
82nd has some of the fittest dudes in the military. I was a pog 63b1p and even I had 102 push ups in 2minutes as a 82nd trooper. My niece just graduated usmc boot and she can do ...12. AATW
Old Green Beret sayings: 1. If you aint cheatin, you aint tryin. If you get caught, you weren't trying hard enough. 2. Deny everything, admit nothing, and make counter-accusations!
You could peel off and hit the latrine on your first lap, then try to drift back in when the majority are on their last lap. At least that's what an E5 from our company did. He got caught and was chaptered, but its an idea.
B.s. they just stand right behind someone way taller. Used to have guys stand behind me that I was almost a foot taller than and here I am lifting their load. Because they're too short to really do anything
Best "cheat" is to do warm up pushups 5-10 minutes before you're due to go, and after that warmup just keep moving in place, moving your arms and such. The idea is to get keep your heart rate up and your blood flowing. Then when you hear the 1 minute warning of the person ahead of you who is doing the pushups, stop moving and start taking big breaths to increase blood oxygenation. By the time it's your turn to start, your body will be primed. After pushups, same thing for situps. Knock out a small set and then keep moving with the same rest and breathing before you go. Then same thing for the run. When you're done with the situps, ideally go take a shit if you can, and run to the bathroom to do so. Failing that, jog around for a minute or so and then keep moving. When you move to the starting line, rest and breath. Then when you start the run, don't try to run too hard at the beginning like everyone else does before gassing themselves.
Dude. These tips are awesome! I always flared my elbows when doing push-ups. I wish that I’d known this stuff back in the day! Too late for me now! Great stuff!
The best way to "Cheat" on situps is to throw yourself back at the top and bounce off the ground. Breath out right when you're hitting the ground and breath in on the way up. You basically use a quarter of the muscle you would otherwise use, it's 75% momentum. I always maxed out with the bounce.
BS!!! How 18X cheats on push ups is: “Hey Steve, how many do you normally do? Got it. What about you Matt? Got it. Oh, and Russ you normally do 3 more than Matt right?!? Ok, lets go work out for real and then go eat”.
Damn I've been doing sit ups wrong. When I tried the "straighten your legs" technique it actually helps build momentum coming back up. I'm an idiot. Ive been using only my ab muscles this whole time.
The push up technique should actually be based on which muscle is strongest, your chest or tri's. If your chest is stronger go wider, if it's weaker go closer. For the acft you are limited to a close stance, so if your chest is stronger turn your finger tips inward
FYI, to anyone attending Ranger Assessment and Selection...be careful doing push ups in the manner that they show in this video. When I went through we were straight up told that 'tricep pushups' would not count.
Push-up advice is on point. Unfortunately, soldiers aren't allowed to let their knees exceed 90 degrees during the sit-up event, so lengthening the legs is impossible.
If you read the army regs, your knees have to stay at 90 degrees the whole time damn near. If your legs are straight as you mentioned, they are not counted. It even says that if the knees exceed 90 degrees that they are not counted.
"No other method of bracing the feet is authorized" Or something like that, I don't remember the exact verbiage. Standing or kneeling on feet is not allowed.
We used to have the person grab your ankles, move so that their crotch was over their hands, then basically sit on their hands. No complaints from my unit.
Ah. I was doing the opposite on the situps. I thought having your butt closer to your heals was better. Thanks for the tip. I have a month to get my situps up to par for the PAST test. Thanks guys!
On the situps, which I maxed waaay back before my hot dad bod, I'd throw myself back and use the bounce to come back up. It was easier to throw the weight back and bounce up and finish half a sit-up. I'd get 80 some situps on average. Highest as 90 something. But I also learned later, once I maxed that shit, save the rest for the run. Forget what that short timer tells you about giving it your all. You already maxed it. Who cares about the rest. But I was just a mechanized leg grunt 🤷♂️
have my PAT in about a month. Hoping these tips will help me out a bit especially on the situp portion which is always the first thing they start with.
For anyone joining the navy. I reccommend you dont learn the full let go shit when your on the upper position your PO is going to show you the miracles of DOLLAR curl ups which is basically mid curl up 0.25 % curl up and 0.75% curl up.
The regulation states legs must be at a 90 degree angle during the APFT. So yes that's a cheat and if your grader does what he or she is supposed to do that repetition will not count. The other cheat would be to not go all the way down or all the way up during the pushup to be able to knock out more pushups.
I believe adding weight lifting and fast twitch exercises. With minimal iso ab work is best. Say work abs 3 times a week. 6 days weight lifting and fast twitch. Makes for a solid performing body.
It's exactly 110yrs ago to the day when I was 10th Mountain Infantry🤪😝😜 we'd always know when it was around PT test time. About a month before test, we did ONLY agonizingly slow cadence 4 count diamond pushups. So slow, you'd fart sparks on every 4th count🤣😜 BUT come PT test time, we all almost maxed out reps. Of course they take a lil here and there off for form (they have to😉 nobody's perfect). But it worked for the entire company. Nothin' but Diamonds a month before. It even worked for our 1st Sgt. Whom we lovingly called Garfield. We swore he had a PT waiver and just walked around CQ eating lasagna all day😝 Great Top, but he looked 9mths preggers daily.
Is not really a cheat for the military there is a workout for strengthening your body and one to pass the test. For the first option, there is a ton of information available while the latter is more focus on energy and efficiency. The military does not give a damn how much a proper position push up or sit-ups you do as long you meet the required position. Is better to create a push-up and sit up routine for the test that focuses on numbers since that is how everyone is graded.
If it isn’t required DONT go past 90 degrees! I see a lot of people smashing chest to ground and destroying their joints for no reason and only getting to 30 when they could have reached 50-60.
I honestly don’t get why they waste their time with sit ups. I have no problems knocking out 50 weighted crunches with a 45lb plate behind my neck. I quit doing them just because it was hard to overload and my abdominals were growing too thick. I look pregnant is i eat a lot of food. I’ve always done my push ups like that I definitely feel strongest in that position.

I've had theory in my head for a bit now and I think you've just confirmed it. Thanks for the advice!👌🏽
Taking a shit is mandatory
Warming up before a PT test is SO underrated

I think I he meant to start in the 90 degree position and allow the legs to straighten a bit...cheating, yes.
@BS Handle Created Exactly, it's about activating the flexors for the movement. You're not actually straightening them all the way out.
If you read the army regs, your knees have to stay at 90 degrees the whole time damn near. If your legs are straight as you mentioned, they are not counted. It even says that if the knees exceed 90 degrees that they are not counted.
On the sit ups just ask the guy to step on your feet!!
Easiest way and the guy can actually be light!

LMAO nice catch you see they other guy look at him like wait what?
thr pushing your leg part is killing it

have my PAT in about a month. Hoping these tips will help me out a bit especially on the situp portion which is always the first thing they start with.
Pushups are about to change if im not mistaken. Chest to floor and break hand contact with ground, then up again and repeat.
Doing sit ups like that kills my hip flexors and kills my run time😒. Great video guys
That PLF at the beginning though! 👌🏼😂
like a benchpress (properly) el bows in.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 hater... If you ain't cheating you ain't trying lol

I have never seen a man push another man with his elbows in.
Keep the elbows tight and springboard it, got 90 repetitions in basic and upped it since. Not sure how the ACFT gonna go😂
Ledgen has it, this man still in AIT.
My chest is gassed and I’m sore as hell all over so time to take a pt test at 0400, yay
If your knees exceeded a 90-degree angle, your push-ups were not supposed to count (period). Read the manual, please.
Thank you so much. I knew tue pushup thing but I never could figure the best way to do situps
It is always about the technique. Don't Sweat The Technique!

Hold the feet for push ups 😂
I did three years with the 10th SFG and can tell you that I never thought of or heard of any one cheating on the pt test it would just be so wrong
They dont mean cheating really just tips
🇺🇸Thank you for you service🇺🇸
It's just a maketing thing to get views, really they just mean technique by "cheatin" since it gets easier.
During the sit up event, the legs may not exceed a 90 degree angle. If the legs exceed 90 degrees at anytime the repetition will not count.
.....well if you are going there..
You forgot quotation marks.
That Hodge hat is lookin sweet.

It will still be in use until October 2020.
I flare my elbows when I want to isolate my chest... and it works
If the the test rule says elbows must reach the knees..then the cheat wont do if the legs are straight
that PLF after getting pushed tho lol
You know what works for Joe? FM 7-22 and practice. Nice PT belt.
there are regulations as to the positioning of the hands for a pushup to be counted on the test.
Omg my sit up numbers nearly doubled!!!
For a second it looked like he was sniffing cocaine in the thumbnail.
If it isn’t required DONT go past 90 degrees! I see a lot of people smashing chest to ground and destroying their joints for no reason and only getting to 30 when they could have reached 50-60.
The only cheat is the clickbait title.
Man good thing he has a pt belt on whew
I can do push ups like nothing but sit ups ahhh more hard for me. Maybe form?
I honestly don’t get why they waste their time with sit ups. I have no problems knocking out 50 weighted crunches with a 45lb plate behind my neck. I quit doing them just because it was hard to overload and my abdominals were growing too thick. I look pregnant is i eat a lot of food. I’ve always done my push ups like that I definitely feel strongest in that position.
kookieless oof
*They get the natives to do it for them*
BUDUM TSSS
If them knee's ain't at 90 degrees I ain't countin em
That is what the PT test requirement states.
