How To Get Fit For The Army 

Djrxp you don't know how much confidence I've got after watching ur vids and you giving me tips honestly it means a lot. Great video keep it up👍🙏

legend, straight to the point with great info! appreciate it 💥💥

This has been really clear and going to help on my training

really great viddeo thank you! glad to know im doing all the right things :D

Thanks for all the great advice! Would you consider doing some intro videos to strengths training/working with weights for people who are new to this kind of training? Or on running and developing good form/good technique?

Great video once again, i remember asking you this question on Instagram around a year ago now and your tips really helped👍

One of the most helpful videos I've seen

This is pretty sound advice guys. I’m just waiting on my date now. I would add to separate your strength training from your cardio. Give your body a clear stimulus for your sessions. If you have the work capacity you can do cardio in the morning and strength training in the evening, or do cardio on separate days.

very good advice wish I had something like this when I first joined something to mention also is your weight won't necessarily go down if you are building muscle its worth getting a composite (muscle mass) assessment as your weight may go up but fat loss goes down as it is replaced with muscle but for starters, this is very sound advice.

Love this bro prepping for army next year

good tips mate gonna do push pull legs with cardio got start date in march. CICO with high protein does bits for the weight loss for those who need it 👍

Little anxious, there's an intake next week. If someone drops out then I'll be taking their slot! You're right about the weight loss, it a double edged sword. Had a major at Pirbright tell me to lose weight during my interview, despite me obviously carrying a lot of muscle. I'd already lost 15kg at the time and if I go in a deficit then my training will suffer and increase injury risk. Get fit first, BMI does not matter as they measure your waist if youre over 28 BMI (includes muscle) which I was exactly 28 and I don't have a gut, eat properly or you'll regret it when youre not recovering. you'll lose weight at basic training like everyone else does.

wish i saw this before i injured myself. running with weight kicked my arse, ended up with ITBS from over-training and not resting enough. i was also running at a stupid pace that left me gassed out by 1km. slowing down the pace instead of stopping completely also helps.

HIIT/ CrossFit WOD’s such as (21-15-9) or (Tabatta circuits which is 20 secs work-10off) with running and cycling is a good schedule to have to get athletically fit in general for the military. I like to go on a run/cycle then do a little WOD or Visa Verse for that extra burn…just don’t burn your body out and take rest days.

Thanks

This really helps thank you. Completely off fitness things but how much time for holidays do you get and do you get weekends off.

I did the AOSB scholarship board, and from what I remember we didn’t do an icebreaker or a lecturette

2:54 What is a 'tabber' ? How much weight do you need to carry during basic (so those relevant have an idea of how much weight to gain)? What is the shortest and furthest distances one will need to run during basic? To give an idea how far to run on 'long distance' and 'medium' distance days

Doing push pull legs is not good for my cardio training so I just take the second leg day to work on my left side imbalances and then get a good heavy leg day once a week. My only issue has been knee strength but im working on it, ive been to glencorse and passed and am deffer-ed until i finish my braces but hoping to get in for march if not then, then certainly the next class for infantry after.

Wish this video came out a few months ago I'm going lichfield assessment centre this Wednesday 😂

Nice

Do you know much about the army reserve I'm struggling to find much info about the new mod 1 2 and 3 training

What happens to the BMI if you do not focus on weights at a point. According to the Army website, an applicant above 18 years should be within 18 and 29.9 BMI range. What insights do you have on this?

Would you say biking for miles will build up the right endurance for the army?

Can I gain and maintain muscle mass in the army ?

im very bad at running. I have a pt test to join the air force in Brazil and im nowhere near the time required. I gotta do about 2.2km in 12 minutes. It seems very managable but I'm doing it in 14 minutes so a long road to go to get there. I have 4 months.

What regiment are you in

Is one year enough to prepare yourself?

I am currently a few months away from 16, do you recommend me joining when I’m 16 or getting higher education, and potentially joining as an officer? 🤔🙏

I recently joined a local gym however I have no idea what weights/machines to use as I can only do about 10 good push ups and 30 sit ups and no pull ups. Any idea on what exercises I should do?

probably not the best question on a fitness video but i’m starting harrogate in a few month and can you smoke in harrogate?👍

I am joining this Sunday, I haven’t been too good with my fitness, I am naturally ‘ok’ at running, but I’m worried it won’t be enough, I have been doing 2k in an average time of 10 minutes but when I run 3.25k it took me 18. Will I be okay or will I really struggle. Brutal honesty please lol

Does masturbation help or does it make it worse?
