I tend to lose strength easily in pull-ups unless I keep it up. 5 sets of 5 reps weighted for pull-ups is the best for me to improve strength and endurance.

I like the front squats for prehab and strength for the legs and bring on a little fatigue before my ruck march.

I do push-ups 1 day per week 10 sets of 10 weighted. With no practice I can hit 90% on the APFT so this strategy works well for me. I run quite a bit and will do my second running of the LA Marathon on 03/19/2006. It is not in line with training for Special Forces but I registered some time ago and will complete the race as I originally planned.

My time is best spent, in my research, rucking, rucking and more rucking. I will build to rucking the 11 miles over the hill by the house with my feet unscathed then work on speed on speed.

Thanks for reading.
