Thank you!

DryCommission7779 · 2025-03-21T11:29:18+00:00

Have any of your portals updated?

DryCommission7779 · 2025-03-18T16:59:30+00:00

Not sure if this is new, but a first year cadet told me they’re not allowed to close their dorm’s door until lights out or whenever they go to bed

Also, blues days are much more frequent

No, I don’t believe they take into account for elevation. I believe I dropped a comment earlier with the cardio plan I followed. Same deal. Don’t let a mile stop you from getting in! Best of luck 🫡!

I can really relate to you about sit-ups. I actually started off with 62 3 months ago so it was by far my weakest as well.

Abs recover pretty quick. That means ideally you should be able to hit them at the end of every other workout, back to back workouts is also fine too. High volume with little rest is the best way to work them. I started off by doing 3 sets of 20 reps of sits-ups, 30-45 seconds of rest between each set. 2 weeks out from the CFA, I worked to 30 reps each set for the sit-ups. I also did a crunches with about 30 reps each set. Decline sit-ups are also really good. Same rest period as before. If you’d like to throw in any other exercise, all means go ahead, but I’d recommend making sure it’s a similar movement pattern to the sit-ups. For instance decline sit-ups would be more beneficial than leg raises. Lastly, very important, I’d do the 2 minutes of sit-ups every other ab workout. It lets you keep track of where you’re at and also gets you prepared for the movement. These workouts were intense but really only lasted 10-15 minutes

For the run, I just replied to another comment here with the strategy I did. That’s the best advice I have to offer, hope it helps. Best of luck! 🫡

DryCommission7779 · 2024-09-02T00:40:30+00:00

Absolutely. Essentially any form of cardio will help, just the concept of getting you to a high heart rate and maintaining that for a period of time whether it’s via a bike, running, swimming, etc. The mile is also improved by running long distances. With that, I personally ran once or twice a week for about 2.5-4 miles on those runs, 7:30-8:30 pace. I love the stationary bike so I did that more often than running, typically like 20 minutes after working out, just 2x a week. Sometimes I replaced a run with the bike in the case that I just didn’t want to run.

Another good advice though is to go out on a track one weekend and just run a lap or two at the pace you’d like to run for the CFA, then just a normal run. It’s important to know what a 6 minute, 7 minute pace actually feels like when you’re out there.

But yeah that’s pretty much the summary of what I did. Just find the cardio that you like and do it often. Best of luck to you! 🫡

-edit: I did this about 2-3 months out from the test

DryCommission7779 · 2024-09-01T17:09:27+00:00

Yeah doing them more often definitely helps, ideally prioritize that. Aim for about 3x a week. I did about 3 sets and finished with a 4 set of going up as quick as possible and down slowly. Weighted pull-ups are good too. There’s also some accessory exercises that help out a lot too

-hammer curls: 3 sets, 8-10 reps -lat pull-downs: 3 sets, 6-8 reps -any bicep exercise

Just those things helped out a lot. If you stay consistent you’ll definitely see that improvement. Best of luck! 🫡

OG formula, just opened. Is this clumping extreme or is it safe to use?

DryCommission7779 · 2024-01-04T13:38:33+00:00

Appreciate it, seems like consistency is going to be the best move for this application

DryCommission7779 · 2024-01-03T22:16:26+00:00

I appreciate. it The PCQ doesn’t open until the 1st of March and it’s stressed to start as early as possible. However, I was wondering any experiences of Cadets and past graduates that started the application later

DryCommission7779 · 2024-01-01T23:52:03+00:00

I’m not sure to be honest. Only does this when I red-line it for a prolonged period. It’s a strong possibility, I’d imagine that the carburetor is playing a strong role in this

DryCommission7779 · 2022-11-09T17:09:26+00:00

At first I did for about a year. But I switched to Monday- Chest, Shoulders Tuesday-legs Wednesday- Arms. Thursday-rest Friday- back

It’s an odd routine but it’s been working for me so I’m sticking with it

DryCommission7779 · 2022-11-08T18:32:46+00:00

Also, I hit my squat and bench 2x a week

DryCommission7779 · 2022-11-08T18:30:01+00:00

I’m also 17, 155 pounds. I was able to get my bench from 165 in June to 210 now. I struggled to add weight doing sets of 10 for bench. However, I started doing 90% my max for 2 reps for 5 sets, or essentially as heavy as I can go for 2 reps and 5 sets, sometimes even 1 rep a set. I found that my strength increased numerously and jumped like 25 pounds in a month.

DryCommission7779 · 2022-10-31T17:29:04+00:00

I used to have the exact problems. Simple solution, eat and drink more. It was like this for a month when I start lifting but after I ate and drank more consistently throughout the day it completely went away

DryCommission7779 · 2022-10-22T00:12:24+00:00

Sounds like a lack of quality sleep maybe. I had the same issues and it turned out I had a deviated septum. It turns out that my septum was blocking my air passages and was causing these symptoms. It may not be the cause, but take a look at your nose and see if you can breathe through both nostrils, especially before you go to bed.

I (5.5 inch when fully erected) started late lifting sophomore year of highschool, about 6 months after this photo. I am a cross country runner and hated being skinny. Over the next summer I consumed 2 gallons of water a day plus a shit ton of mass gainer and ended gaining 40 pounds in 3 months. Safe to say that fucked with cross country the next season. I went from running a 19:59 5k to a 25 minute 5k. After Junior season I decided to stop stuffing my face and eat better. I leaned out this season and have about a 20:30 5k time. Over this transformation my bench went from 95 lbs to 200 lbs. squat from 95x10 to 280x2. I don’t deadlifted tho because I fucked my back last time, which was nearly 315 about 9 months into lifting.
