I am a Marine who volunteered and was accepted into Force Recon. The testing for entry was tough and out of 103 who tried out 4 made it, including me.
I want to requalify and attain the same standards I did during that time so long ago and am almost on track but need some inspiration and advice.
It's a simple test to many here, I know, and included:
20 Pullups in boots
50 Pushups in one minute
70 Situps in two minues
3 mile run in 18:00 minutes.
1/2 mile swim in fatigues.
There were a few other goodies but time has dimmed them from memory. Now I took that test 54 years ago and next year for my 75th Birthday I want to requalify. I'm pretty much on track and using the following workout but really need some suggestions or ideas on what to include or not include.
I'm currently 74, 5' 9" 154 lbs 12% - 10% BF
Twice a week:
All exercises 8-10 reps / 3 sets
Squats 70%-90% body weight

Thanks for any input or suggestions. I appreciate it and this forum and web site.
