Would you get a 300 PFT?

**yochino** · 04-02-2007, 07:27 PM

I know there are a bunch of Marines and fellow service members on this forum. New to the forums and so for shi*ts and giggles, i figured i'd post a topic. So... i'm sure many MANY people here can get a perfect 300 PFT that the Marine corps bases their physical fitness off of. For the fellow Marines, how many of you are iron men? And for non Marines, how many can get a perfect 300?

Each pull-up = 5 points
20 pull-ups = perfect 100 points

Each sit up = 1 point
100 sit ups = perfect 100 points

3 mile run
18:00 mins = perfect score
6 points deducted for each minute after 18:00 from 100.

My highest PFT 278

**SGT-T** · 04-04-2007, 04:21 AM

My best was a 19 minute run, 100 crunches, and 17 pullups.
That's why I'm a civilian now...haha

**yochino** · 04-04-2007, 03:23 PM

pull ups is what kills me

**Calitex04** · 04-09-2007, 07:54 AM

299....5 seconds short on my run

**LilDragon** · 04-09-2007, 07:55 PM

My PFT so far has been less than sat. Highest has only been 207. I'm in Iraq now so I have plenty of time to hit the gym, slim down, and work on my weaknesses.

**mrbusiness** · 04-10-2007, 05:16 AM

very impressive calitex. i leave for boot camp may 21st. shooting for a 300 (not there yet)

**Ryan_Cunningham** · 04-10-2007, 10:48 AM

I took PFT about a month ago to submit my packet for USMC OCC-Aviation and scored a 292.

19:20 run
20 pullups (32 if they all counted)
100 situps

Hoping to hear back later this week.

**BigMoney247** · 04-15-2007, 03:17 PM

My highest PFT was a 273 back in 2004.

**KJ6182** · 04-15-2007, 05:40 PM

When I was still active duty, my highest PFT was 294. Maxing the pull-ups and crunches were easy, but my run was always just over 18.

**tampacowboy** · 03-05-2009, 11:04 PM

Highest PFT so far is a 292....19:20 on my run. But I got one coming up on the 17th, so...

**oohrah69** · 08-01-2009, 12:38 PM

Run Time= 17:29
Pull Ups= 27
Crunches= 100
It took about 6 monthes to finally break 18 min but the pull ups keep going up. OOHRAH! My unit doesnt do Iron Men but there is only 1 other 300 and he does 21 pull ups and1754 on the run.

**L-Macc** · 08-01-2009, 01:27 PM

scored a 271 awhile back, 20 ; 100 ; 21:42 Shooting for a 280+ on the next go round

**allenlolxD** · 08-01-2009, 05:13 PM

i'm in jrotc, and our PT tests are
max = 72 pushups, 78 situps, 13:00 run (2 miles)
1 point off for each pushup/situp under max, 1 point off for every 6 seconds above 13:00
i **** on it. lol 118 pushups, 109 situps, 10:21 run. *i'm all-state in XC btw*

403/300 =P

idk about this test though...
are these wide grip pullups? or can you do chinups?

**oscarlf** · 08-01-2009, 06:03 PM

My last PFT I got a 286, 100 situps and 20 pullups. I got a 20:15 on the run i think? Were running one is August I want to break 290 def. I never really focus on my running, I feel that if I actually trained for running that a 300 is very likely...I just have to get my lazy ass out there though.

**gewaltiger** · 08-01-2009, 06:33 PM

my pft is mid 250's
20+ pullups
100 crunches
24:40 3mi run time

my best ever was 2.5 years ago in boot camp, 296 when i weighed 165lbs

i value olympic weightlifting and STRENGTH much more-so than a dumb marine corps fitness test tbh, which is why my run time sucks since my legs are big as fok and have no endurance just strength

its major fail to me when people preach run time, especially some officers ive known who can run an 18minute , but cant even get close to touching 20 pullups. wow. now uhh... who is gonna pick me up and carry me when im wounded? nobody. but i could probably handle two people myself. pretty pathetic. i think our PT is geared the wrong way

**MarineDoc** · 08-02-2009, 05:36 AM

255 on my last PFT, could have done a little better if I hadn't drank the night before. Then again I'm not a Marine, I'm a Corpsman so it doesn't really count for anything.

**ThinLikeWhoa** · 08-02-2009, 08:57 AM

The last test I took was back in June and scored a 300, however I did 79 pushups/83 situps and ran a 13min 2 mile. It's over 300 but I'm not one of those that spouts off "I have over 300 for a pt score" yadda yadda.

**CitadelMarine** · 08-02-2009, 09:28 AM

my last PFT was a 299... couldn't shave those last few seconds off the run...
Run: 18:05
Pullups: 27
Situps: 140

But I'm deffinetly with Gewaltiger... strength should be trained a lot more than it usually is... running's become an obsession I think.

Exactly...What's that you can run 5 miles in 20 minutes? Congradulations...Can you carry me if I'm wounded on your shoulders for 1/8 mile to safety? No...didn't think so.

They really do focus on running to the point where I felt it was rediculous. Running 40 miles is great but doing 10 pushups is not.

This is one of the reasons that the CFT has been created.

**Liverano** · 08-03-2009, 09:22 AM

No disrespect to the Corps, but the PFT is about as outdated as BMI measurements

women can't do pullups?

**kelfitness1** · 08-07-2009, 12:04 PM

Women don't do them in the Marines, at least not when I was in 99-03. I would have gladly. It's not quite as easy, but anyone can learn to pump them out with tons of practice.

Thanks...

its weird that they don't test on pullups for women, it just takes muscular endurance and technique.I've seen skinny kids pump out 15-20.

o excuse me dear! Running, pullups, and situps has been used since the beggining of exercise and will never be outdated you idiot

**Jtrain71** · 08-10-2009, 02:03 PM

Personal Best

**jbrennan1991** · 08-10-2009, 02:05 PM

22 Pullups

**300pft** · 05-23-2011, 03:03 PM

I am planning to perform a PFT in a couple of weeks after training for a total of 8 weeks. I am going to attempt to get a 300. Previously before I left the Corps I was getting around 280. I will post videos and pics of the event. I am working on a project to help motivators get in shape before going to boot camp. Here's a link to my project. Feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks all and Semper Fi! 300pft.com

**Loverboy** · 02-10-2013, 08:33 PM

I'm currently a poolee with the NYC Marine OSO and have been working through the application process for one year. I have ran dozens of PFTs, but my latest one was last week, ran a 292 (20 PU, 100 CR, 19:10 run). I have 18 days to get a 300 before the upcoming OCS selection panel meets to decide my fate. I want that perfect score!
