This staying off my feet thing is killing me, I'm going crazy. I'm gonna get me a chin up bar and some DB's so I can try to maintain

 

I'm scheduled for a physical fitness test for the Colorado State Patrol on Feb 20th, 3 minute step test warm up and 1 minute sit ups, 1 minute push ups.

99th percentile is 55+ sit ups in one minute, which I can do. Sadly, I need a way to work my push ups up to 60+ in a minute. I can do 60 flat out no stop untimed, but not in a minute, any ideas?

 

You'll be fine. Knock em out at a steady pace that way you don't burn out super fast.

 

start doing weighted pushups and it helps me to do em on my fists the weighted ones make regular ones breeze by

 

You use a weighted vest or have chains draped over your back?

 

i have a vest loaded up with 16 lbs. (has lil 2 lb removeable weights) ive heard about chains too though

 

X2.... also Id hit your tri's really hard till the test... Those will be the first thing to give out

 

You have short little arms...so fuck off.

 

well reached my weight loss goal... 35 lbs in 7 months. Lost the last 8 lbs (in 14 days) thanks to the flu. I weigh 150 lbs and I'm 5'7.5"

Now it is time to add muscle. I want to add about 10 to 15 lbs of muscle in the next 3-4 months. Any suggestions... I'm cutting back my running from 5 days a week to 2 days a week and I'm lifting A LOT more now. I want to gain that 10 -15 lbs of muscle without adding much fat. It is tough to get a lot of lean meat out here so I've added in nasty protein shakes to make up the difference...

 

he runs because the military makes you and evaluates you

 

Yes, if you don't keep up with the running, your PT scores go down. That's almost all that the SF guys do from what I've seen and heard.

 

arms and legs today, had to skip yesterday cause we got a call at the begining of the workout

 

Biggest key is making sure you are getting at LEAST 1g of protein per lb of body weight!
Without enough protein you can work out for years and gain nothing lol

 

I would shoot for about 1.5g since you are fairly light

 

Took my every 6 month pics. Will post comparisons later maybe. Lol no homo tho
