Comments: Sweet workout. Happy to hit 4 sets of 10 with 225 lbs on bench press. FYI, I current weigh in at 175 lbs. My abs started fatiguing towards the last couple sets of 30. I need to focus on abdominal endurance as well as strength. The cardio was crazy. I don't think I have ever felt what a 9.0% incline was like, but I learned today! My right lung was actually hurting a lot from this one, so I had to stop at the 4 min, 30 sec-mark.USMC: 1999-2003; 2009-Current

9/12/16: Marine Corps PFT
Chinups: 20
Crunches: 100
3-Mile Run: 25 min, 7 sec
Score: 257 out of 300
Comments: This test wasn't taken for official scoring, but as a pre-test to ensure I am fit enough to attend a formal course. The 20 chinups is needed to achieve the max score for chinups, and the 100 crunches is needed to achieve the max score for crunches. The run was nice and steady (I did not exert myself too hard).USMC: 1999-2003; 2009-Current

Comments: Outstanding workout! This was technically considered a "two-a-day" because I had to do the physical fitness test that morning. This workout was done towards the end of the day (after work), but I felt great and was happy with all lifts. Cardio work was tough as nails, but that seems to be the norm with the progressively-increasing duration with the "rolling hills" treadmill work. Once again, my right lung was killing me during this run, but hopefully I adapt and become a stronger runner. The chinups were pretty tough as well, and it caused a great stretch to my lats. The crunches and shrugs were supersetted with almost everything else.USMC: 1999-2003; 2009-Current

Comments: I kind of deviated from the normal intensity and decided to try 500 lbs on beltless conventional deadlifts. Well, it didn't turn out so well, as I barely broke a few inches from the ground. Man, I thought I had a chance of pulling it, but once I felt the weight, it wasn't going anywhere. I may have made the error and jumped straight from 405 lbs to 500 lbs - perhaps I could have benefited from acclimation rep with 455 lbs. After I miserably failed at pulling 500 lbs, I stripped it down to 475 lbs and was able to hit two singles with it. After that, I decided to do some heavy doubles with 455 lbs. I wasn't upset or too disappointed because I haven't been totally training for powerlifting or with a specified plan of progression. After that, I moved onto some doubles with squats, which was very tough as well. I was just glad that I didn't feel any pain from the squats. On a positive note, I saw improvement on my "rolling hills" cardio work. I was able to go for 7 minutes at level 6, which was virtually impossible last week (where I barely hit 4 min, and 30 sec).USMC: 1999-2003; 2009-Current

Comments: I had skipped cardio today and switched to a full-body workout because I had anticipated doing the Marine Corps CFT, but as I type this on Sunday afternoon, that did not happen. Either way, this workout was really good. I gotta say that the squats sets with 275 lbs for 4 sets of 8 virtually pushed me to my limit. This was extremely difficult, and I barely squatted back up on the last couple reps on the latter sets. Ideally, I want to hit 4 sets of 10 with 275 lbs, but judging from how this felt, I may need more time with reach this mark. On a good note, last week I hit 225 lbs for 4 sets of 10 on bench press, so I increased to 235 lbs, dropped the rep count, and increased the number of sets. As I previously mentioned, I don't necessarily have a set-in-stone progression plan right now, but I have general idea of what to lift. I'm also going by how I feel for a change, which is nice. The bench press work started getting touch after the fourth set. Everything else was great.USMC: 1999-2003; 2009-Current
