Getting in Shape for the army!

[m16a2]

This depends on your age group. If your 18-21 you need 71 pushups 82 situps and your two mile under 13:08 for 100%, and you need 46 pushups, 52 situps, and under 15:56 to pass with 60%. Basic standards are lower than army standards, I think 36 pushups, 46 situps, and 16:36 on your 2 mile, i can't remember now. Passing basic standards is a joke. Where are you going to?

Do any of you know what the requirements are just to pass the PT? I'm sure I can do 80 sit-ups and running 2 miles under 13 min is fine too, the push-ups always get me. To train those should I just do more of them?
Thanks.

That's what I was thinking too. I would say Army standards are not much better.

They are trying to get normal people into decent shape. If you are already in shape you are set. For pushup practice do them everyday, as many as you can just to get your body used to the volume you will do in BT.
