Goal: SO Contract(aka Special Operator) Current PST scores 848/76/86/17/921
Reason: People Told me i wouldn't amount to anything good or even great. Being an SO would show them and my self that I do have what it takes and my life isn't meaningless because upon completion, I would be doing what 99% of the US wouldn't be able to do.NGU

It's a give and Take kind of thing. A lot of military stuff here in the US at least measure you in Pushups, Situps, Pullups for strength, but that stuff is outweighed by the Swimming and Running factors. So you can try and pack on muscle before you join, but the only falter would be in my honest opinion is that you have all that extra muscle to carry around that say a 145 lb guy has to carry around while running.
One of my Mentors, a Senior Chief in the US Navy as a Spec Ops Diver, says he is around 225 and with full gear on he weighed in at over 315 lbs. With Full ammo, Armor and ruck sack. Think of how much slower you would be if you had all that extra muscle and equipment and had to run 10 miles.
It's a give and take. Get to a weight that you are satisfied with. i.e for me, max weight I am allowed to be is 186. I would be ok with 175.
Great amount of Strength or Great Numbers in your run, swim, pushups, situps and pullups?
A lot of stuff in training is bodyweight. And you might be carrying more weight than others.
once again.. this is my take on it.
I was 173, but then i dropped down to 165 so i could run faster and it cut over 40 seconds off my 1.5 mile run.NGU

Poolee for the Marines here. I leave in january. Should be sweet. Just a word of advice from my experience over in my area, for the Spec War Contracts I wouldn't deal with recruiters they bs'd me around for awhile. If you want to get into that **** right off the back take the tests in boot camp and your mos school.
If the bar ain't bending you only pretending
