How I Lost Over 20 Pounds To Join The Army! | How To Get In Shape For Basic Training! 

How to pass acft

If you get an option 4 contract is an Airborne unit guaranteed? And in about 1 and half years I'm going to enlist most likely that or go to college and become a CO.

What was that website that you used called?

Big James tdeecalculator.net

You should go back to the way you were bro 💪🏽🇺🇸

Did you get good results?

What happened?

SneekiBreeki816 you don’t gotta be afraid of carbs, as long as you are eating in a caloric deficit you can still enjoy what you eat! But keep it up! 💪🏽💯

Snake Diet on youtube

Hell yeah bro! You got it!

Did you re-up?

How ?

I’m right there with you. Went from 320 down to 215 now to join.

What'd ya do for those sorts of results?

Lol you planning on elaborating on how you lost the weight my guy??

Any tips? I’ve lost about 15 so far, sitting at 265 atm

Thanks!

Also Special K and probiotics such as Activia, and Oatmeal (not the instant stuff) also helps. As a guy those options may seem feminine as females don't like to eat however as males we do but does work and help us curb our appetites

The thing about the military is they will give you the chance to confront those fears and get over them. For example, the Marines have a rappelling wall. If you're scared of heights, you'll probably freak out, just like I would have a while back, but once you get outside of your comfort zone, doing things you didn't think you could do previously becomes that much easier. I went flying in a helicopter with a family friend, and it was actually fun. So, don't limit yourself to what you THINK you can't do. Get out there into the unknown and go for it!

Did you go?

Travis that’s a smart move bro!

Just keep doing them you’ll get better

Yup same boar lol that dd 214 weight

What was your weight before ?

I’m 5”8 with 185 does it work for me to join ?

P.S. I am 24yrs old

You should be good to hit one up now

Mustardcat 69 even if you dont meet that weight exactly I’m sure you’ll still pass the tape test!

@@TheBenAllen. hopefully joining the army means a lot to me

Mustardcat 69 you got this! Just stay focused!

Let’s do it! 💪🏽🎉

I’m trying to be a 68w too! Did you lose the other 20?

Lose your weight and try again most of them just don’t have faith in you

Im 4 11 and i was at 140 now im at 124 it takes time and good eating habit. I enlisted for active duty in the army and my recruiter was surprised to see how much weight i lost

MyFitnessPal

Yes

You can do it Esmeralda. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you like what you see. If the answer is no, then ask yourself, whatchu you gonna do about it? You gonna let that person in the mirror win? That's what I did, 20 pounds later I feel much better, not there yet, but I'm getting there. My three tips to losing weight are: maintain a calorie deficit. You don't have to give up your favorite foods, just eat less. Cut down on junk food eat once in a while but not as often. No need to get into a diet and start eating salads an d chicken everyday, that's what causes most people to quit. 2. Cardio is your best friend. Cardio gets the heart pumping and shreds fat. Too bad I hate running with every cell in my body. Jump rope instead. Jump as long as you can at first, the goal is at least 30 min 3x a week. Do some everyday if you want crazy results. 3. it will get tough. Moments where you don't wanna work out anymore. Ask yourself why you are doing this. Your answer should always be because this is the person I chose to be. Plus, when you put on clothes that fit you now, aint no better feeling Good luck Esmeralda! You can do this!

Same here I want to join the Marine Corps I’m currently 314 pounds 5’7 and 18 before COVID I was 273 lbs I need to get to 180 pounds to join I want to join by next year so I have time to loose weight hopefully I am able to get motivated and loose weight and I believe in you and I hope you believe in me as well

Just ate 500 less calories than normal

Look up home workouts. Run outside.

Well if losing weight is your goal then lifting at a gym is not necessary, just jogging a lot around your neighborhood and eating in a calorie deficit will make you lose weight.

I personally though Practice was harder!

Big James i watched a lot of youtube videos so i could better understand why dieting and cardio work like they do! Working out becomes easier when you understand the science behind it!

Snake Diet on youtube

Hell yeah!

Nicholas Nevares not really a lot of people do that!

Lmao he just liked it and moved on

To remember why you started

You just gotta stay consistent 💪🏽

@@TheBenAllen. ight I got this

Marcus Shelton I agree!

It’s a 2 mile run and it depends on your age.

@@TheBenAllen. I think you forgot the new crossfit based pt test, the ACFT. I believe that, if not right now, then definitely by the time Papi Ambrose get to basic training, the APFT will be out and the new ACFT will be in.

golfery I didn’t forget I just assumed he was asking about right now, the ACFT isn’t standard Army wide until October, but is being implemented at some basic trainings. Either way it’s a 2 mile run for both. Not to sure on the time requirements though.

@@TheBenAllen. I imagine that some people, even with training and preparation, *ARE STILL* going to get whooped by and possibly fail the ACFT. I'm a 92G and supposedly my MOS is in the "significant" category. Looks like, for example, we have to do 180 pounds on the deadlift. No sexism, because I know some real physically strong women (they're typically larger women), but I know quite a few very small girls in my MOS that it would be pretty difficult to imagine deadlifting 180 pounds once, let alone three times (I've had one girl tell me straight up she'd fail the deadlift) My company commander told me straight up that his wife, also on active duty and is a captain, is ETS'ing this year in part because she can get a decent job outside the military but also so she won't have to deal with the new ACFT. Then there are people who still mess up the leg tuck. So it's easier to pass for some people (even if harder to max) but to other people, it's easier to fail.

golfery ohh yeah it’s definitely going to be a killer test!

Bruh likes it and doesn’t answer

I’m in the same situation

Really?!

How they heck did you not go through meps?

…how did you not go through MEPS?

​@@trinidydae I joined in Germany while I was a dependent. So there was no MEPS. My medical and all that was with my primary doctor. Everything else as far as paperwork was done by the recruiter. I just flew out from there. Took all but 1 month.

@@zacharylewis417 Hey! Did you have any issue getting H/W during basic or reception?

Push ups, incline/decline push ups, and cardio!

Thanks brother

I will recommend working with him. He has good questions and answers🤗🤗 you can Whatsapp mr DAVID through his WhatsApp number below

Finally I am amongst those who talk about the tutorials of Mr DAVID 😊 I have gone through many tutors but had no positive results till I found a recommendation about Mr DAVID, he has help me pass my ASVAB EXAM , am so glad.

All i know is eat loads of healthy food and workout

You have to eat in a caloric surplus!

Ben Allen I am, it’s just hard to meet the surplus without an appetite. And i workout an hour each morning. High weight low reps. That said I’m only on my 3rd week of working out. Hopefully my body will get used to it soon and i’ll get hungrier. My recruiter is helping me a lot by saying i’m 5’11 3/4 instead of 6ft so i don’t have to gain AS much.

JokerzheeYT2 you got this man, just keep at it!

I was in the same boat. Tried eating a caloric surplus, eating healthy, working out. Didn’t gain a pound. What finally worked for me was eating fast food everyday, twice a day. My doctor hated it but it fucking worked. Gained 25 pounds. I’m leaving for basic Monday.

Did you lose that 10-15lb on time?

@@dpaper7962 😢😩 no I didn’t

@@junelledobbs Aww so what happened? How long do you have to wait to ship out now? I'm prior service army who's in the process of reenlisting! I needed a waiver which has been approved! I'm just waiting for MEPS to do their part and give me a MEPS date. So far I'm on day 11 of waiting to hear from MEPS. Hope it doesn't take months just to get a physical 🤦

@@dpaper7962 Have you made it to MEPS yet ? I’m just recently talked to a recruiter and am scheduled to take my test on the 18th... super nervous 😩

@@mirandarobinson25 Yes, I have! 2 weeks ago. Just like my initial enlistment, they sending me to get a psychiatrist consult which I still do not have a date for. So 2 weeks and counting right now for a consult date. Awww don't be, make sure you review/study your weakness and you should be fine!

Lol 😂

@@TheBenAllen. I don’t get it.
