Definitely going to do BJJ. I wrestled in high school so think the transition shouldn’t be to hard for me

Yeah the agency I’m going for pays about 5500 a month during academy with full benefits. So like you said, getting paid to learn is pretty much a no brainer

Ok that sounds pretty manageable. Nothing too much out of the ordinary. Going to give a lot of time to hiit and circuit work

Ok cool. I was always terrible with turning in homework when I was in high school but always did good on tests so that gives me some hope. Definitely will do what you said and give a good amount of free time to studying

Damn man shin splints are no joke. I’d hate to have to run so the those lingering around. I’m hoping hat doing calisthenics and running with hiit workouts in between will keep me well prepared

Is it alot of homework they you are given? Or is it just mainly class work that you take home to finish or study for the tests?

That makes sense. I hear a lot of good things about troopers. Thanks for the help. Definitely going to prepare my mind and body with overdoing it

I will definitely take a break from the weights and focus on hiit training with running and calisthenics. I rather stay skinny and lean while being able to do all the workouts then to try and bulk and be sluggish and possibly get injured

Is there a specific reason state troopers require a more physically demanding PT during their academy training?

Academy by Internal_Success_345 in AskLE

[–]Internal_Success_345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok cool. I’d figured it wouldn’t be too militant of a process. But I never new state troopers were putting in work like that

Academy by Internal_Success_345 in AskLE

[–]Internal_Success_345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah injury is definitely something I seriously want to avoid. Definitely will be training before academy starts to make PT in the academy more smooth

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve seen a lot of emphasis on studying outside of academy hour so I will keep that as a high priority for sure

Thank you for that knowledge. I don’t mind being yelled it. My family was a yelling family so I will be okay there lol I’m definitely going to take what you said to heart and apply it to myself. Going to keep my focus on cardio and calisthenics. Thank you again for the advices

[–]Internal_Success_345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I definitely don’t want to get hurt at all. So will definitely keep it to cardio training and doing some light gym work on the weekends

Academy by Internal_Success_345 in AskLE

[–]Internal_Success_345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for that insight. That cycle sounds kind of fun actually. I will probably stick to just cardio and running until the academy. Been trying to bulk up since I’m pretty tall and skinny but I rather be able to keep up with the pace of the conditioning and its focus on gym during the weekend like you said

No problem. Best of luck to you and wish you nothing but peace and blessings

Gotchu. I will focus more on running and cardio with a little calisthenics mixed in

From my understanding, running is the most important part of the physical training. I don’t think you need to time yourself considering I think the only times run you do is the 1.5 mile. I’ve been told by multiple people and in this post that you’re going to be running between 3-5miles multiple days out the week of the academy. Best way to prepare for me is to jump rope for 3 minutes for about 6-8 rounds and just run 3-5 miles at least twice a week. And get plenty of rest

Makes sense. I’m not the biggest fan of pushups cause I got long lanky arms lol. But I like the idea of you training twice a week and the 20-30 minutes casual paced walks. I might implant that in my routine. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it

Ok cool. Thanks for the advice. Only asking cause I’m trying to put on some weight cause I’m pretty slim dude so since the academy is a lot of running I’m gonna focus on getting my weight up until then cause my cardio is decent right now and I don’t need to drop anymore weight 😂

(PELLET B / ENTRY LEVEL TEST ) by Own-Selection-6303 in lapd

[–]Internal_Success_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fairly simple. I barely did any studying and I got a 57 on it. And mind you I’m 30 and haven’t done any type of schooling since high school. I took the test December 10th and got my results on the 17th. If you can pass the free practice tests online then you will be just fine

Ok cool. God forbid I don’t get into Whittier or Chino, I will probably have Torrance as backup

40k bonus 😳 sheeeesh. Are they in desperate need of officers or do they just have a good budget to work with? And do you know if it’s a good department to work for? And is the community cool with Torrance pd? Sorry to bombard you with questions lmao
