Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - What are you currently doing to prep for SFAS or SFRE

Maybe I am over-simplifying the solution, but I am just following the workout schedule listed in USAREC Pamphlet 601-25, In-Service Special Forces Recruiting Program. It's a 5 week, alternating hard/easy day workout designed (or so I understand) by USAREC to prepare current soldiers for success at SFAS.
I'd like to ask the opinion of anyone familiar with this publication what they would recommend doing on "easy" days. Right now I am focusing on push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups in order to improve APFT scores, but the pamphlet is unclear as to whether I should do free weight exercises on my off days as well. I appreciate y'alls time and help.
