It may be hard to get your hands on a sled/litter to practice that part of the Sprint/Drag/Carry, but it is mainly a cardio endurance test, especially for your thighs, so working on any intense cardio that smokes you in minutes will help
Love your videos. I went from struggling to keep 15 min/miles for 12 miles solely walking to an extremely comfortable 13 min/mile pace by just jogging 1/3 of every mile. My only concern is about when the weight I need to carry will be pushed from 45lbs to 60+ in sfas. I feel like the risk of injury is greatly increased
Just keep training and putting the miles in. As you do that, you’ll also be building up Bone density, and strengthening your lower body muscles to allow you to carry heavier loads. Keep training, and you’ll be alright! 💪
Also Russian KBs are done with a full contraction of the core to where your back is bending, you don't squat. It'sa back and hamstirng dominant movement. You're doing a crossfit/American variation.
Sir I bet you were one hell of a NCO and I'm sure that's made you even more of a hell of a officer I wish I would have had somebody like you in my leadership.
Great video!! Very helpful. I appreciate the tips on HOW to incorporate them into a training plan or workout - you didn't just demonstrate the exercise and move on so thanks for taking the time on suggesting how to incorporate them
Your videos are outstanding! Thank you for sharing so much varied informaton. It's kind of funny that during Viet Nam times, if you were breathing and had a heartbeat, that was good enough.
Solid info. It's hard for me to connect that last 10% on the leg tucks, maybe I should do more flexibility movements? I'll try the lying leg lifts, they may help the most with the extra 10% connection
The sprint drag carry and run is what gets me. Wish they’d do something about it. Have either the 2 mile or the sprint drag carry but that two miles after the sprint drag is shitty. There’s no need for two cardio events.
I have 2 years left before i sign up for the military, i was woundering how many reps of each one should i do since my school has a gym and also what other tips could you give for like pull ups and etc
Quads, back, calves, forearms, knees, do some running variations like sprinting, backwards running, and the farmer's carry, that's what I'm doing to prepare for this event
225 is the bare minimum for infantry standards but always strive to max every event. Training and consistency will take you far. Every thing in this video is spot on so do your best and you'll be ok
Also my last pt test I took they switched out leg tuck to a plank so you may or may not be doing a plank instead of leg tucks so incorporate that in your training to just in case
Try it both ways and see which one you think is best. Looking down will have you tend to bend the back in the wrong way. But, I also don’t believe in any “one way,” everyone is different.
Not a fan of this testing standard. But these are the times we are in now. This is why politicians shouldn't be involved with military training ever they can't do their own job!!
Thank you for the amazing tips, went from a 515 to a 553 and still grindin 💯
Hell yeah!!!!! 💪
I’m a cadet going to IBOLC in august and your videos have been very helpful. Especially the gear videos. Thanks a lot
Thanks man I’m glad they are useful to you!

Yep. Swings are a hip hinge exercise, not a squat movement.

Brother, I sure appreciate these videos! 💯💯💯

Always looking forward to the next upload 👍🏻
Good advice thanks for sharing!
Another idea for leg tuck- if you have a TRX put your feet in the straps in push up position and do tucks like that
Nice that’s a good idea.
great tips to prepare!
Practical and effective advice! Awesome video. Thanks!

Try the leg lifts, I bet that will help. 👍
Thank you for the tip/advice🤩 you should demonstrate the acft as your next content 😂 overall, great video 🙌
Great video Sir 🇺🇸💯
Can you do a video on land nav ? I think that’s what will get me the most with training sir.
Thanks! Gonna start implementing this asap
The sprint drag carry and run is what gets me. Wish they’d do something about it. Have either the 2 mile or the sprint drag carry but that two miles after the sprint drag is shitty. There’s no need for two cardio events.
For maximum results the North Korean kettle bell swings are the best
5:00 alternate training to SPT
Could you give a recommendation of sets and reps for each exercise?
I have 2 years left before i sign up for the military, i was woundering how many reps of each one should i do since my school has a gym and also what other tips could you give for like pull ups and etc
"Be a badass with a good ass." 😂
Great info, brother. Thanks for the vid. 🤙
👊
Did not get the answer I was looking for for the sprint drag carry lol 🤣
Other than the time it takes to complete… idk why they don’t replace the run with ruck.
can you tell us what muscle groups does the sprint drag carry target and what alternate exercises would you recommend for this event?
Quads, back, calves, forearms, knees, do some running variations like sprinting, backwards running, and the farmer's carry, that's what I'm doing to prepare for this event
Any future program for the acft?
Yeah, actually one is currently in the works!
For a new person starting BCT, do they expect you to deadlift the max of 345?
225 is the bare minimum for infantry standards but always strive to max every event. Training and consistency will take you far. Every thing in this video is spot on so do your best and you'll be ok

@@tubaguy678 do is there an alt for deadlifts or every recruit needs to do it?
@@hmuphilly9129 there are know alternatives to the deadlift that I'm aware of. I'm an 11b but heard non combat mos only has to dead lift 140 to pass
@@tubaguy678 ill just do my best once the time comes
If this new pt test was the standard in the early 2000s I would of retired last month....lol
The Starting Strength model for dead lifting is look down; definitely don’t look up!
Try it both ways and see which one you think is best. Looking down will have you tend to bend the back in the wrong way. But, I also don’t believe in any “one way,” everyone is different.

I bet winning a ranger pack would help
Would you recommend a lifting program or a well rounded fitness program and incorporating these for training?
I think you could fit it into either, but I personally would defer to a more “well-rounded” fitness program for someone who is in the service.
Your deadlift form needs work. It's a deadlift not a squat. It's okay to use your back, that's what a deadlift is for.
