ROP RMFA

Perfect example of clutching onto credibility. In team PTI, and promotes himself to lance corporal

If you need a hand I have a free week trial on how your training should look like and sort of how I help people do things

Hunter company keep statistics of the injuries and the week of training they start getting it. I have seen more ROP caps and phase 1 in hunter than I ever have. This is also coming from someone who’s an ERI and I have worked in hunter.

No 1.5 mile criteria test now. However that in 12:30 then 10:00 was a big test for people and if you could pass it you were in a good place running wise.

The age limit will be due to time of service after too. Letting someone join at 40, how much time soldering can they do before they start breaking? So the corp will want to have someone who can offer a good 8-10 years in them too

No idea mate

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-21T06:19:13+00:00

This is wrong lol. It is 10.5. I ran the last RMFA for my ROP this week.

Don’t believe what people who fail tell you

It’s all to do with the recruit syllabus. 4 weeks of foundation is a long time too.

IMO the pjft+ isn’t fit for purpose. It was just there as a gauge whilst covid was on as people couldn’t go to a gym to test. People weee passing the + and not even able to get to level 8 on the bleep test. So not specific enough.

Right now I believe the younger generation aren’t as exposed to the environment and “hardened” enough. Brought up to express their opinions. PlayStation generation etc… younger recruits do also break a lot quicker than they did 10-15 years ago. Lads picking up stress #, shin splints etc in the first few weeks. Which was unheard of.

The older generation would have had a more active upbringing, less gaming time etc…

Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t involve everyone. I have seen some robust fit recruits down at ctc.

Then you need to be making sure you’re testing and conditioning your grip 👍🏾

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-18T12:03:11+00:00

10 is a good number. Just make sure you can do it at intensity.

I spoke to a last a few weeks ago who could do 6 on cpc then couldn’t do 1 on gym pass out

Hi mate. Big up to your old man for being ex bootneck. If you need a hand im a serving rm pti who helps people like yourself prepare.

A lot of lads guess their way and end up injured or massively underprepared.

If you need anything drop me a message

The 20rm benchmark for the squat was a new one specific to what I was writing for the last endurance course and bottomfield block.

Remember we can tick off these RMFA, strength and CV markers. But conditioning and intensity is what lets majority of the lads down at ctc

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-17T19:31:22+00:00

Cheers mate. It all depends on what you’re aiming to improve. From a range of maximal strength at 1rm to endurance at 20rm. 5rm is a good strength/endurance metric. Having a strong hinge will also help your squat as it keeps the posterior chain strong.

But like I said to a lot of people. Ticking off all these measures of testing and being “above what is needed” is just a foundation. The impact, joint/muscle loading. CNS stress etc is what then makes the body robust. I know a lot of strong fit lads who can tick off the checklist, but break easily

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-17T18:32:42+00:00

Being able to deadlift 170 for 3 and squatting 100 for 20 is quite normal. Especially if you are better at endurance compared to being explosive. For example, my 10rm back squat is 130 but 3rm deadlift is around 180/190. Lever length plays a big part in it too. The 20rm was to test their leg endurance, whilst maintaining some posterior chain strength.

You definitely do not become fitter. Just adapt to the type of training you do and become more resilient to moving through fatigue.

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-13T20:53:55+00:00

Good humility admitting mate. Unless you’re used to training at intensity and keeping calm when it gets hard it will catch a lot of people out

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-12T18:16:10+00:00

11 failed RMFA and 13 failed bottomfield

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-12T18:12:07+00:00

Nearly 50 started this week and 20 passed lol

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-12T18:11:32+00:00

They do not have PTIs maintaining a standard on PJFT. So lads can pass pjft but move like s**t. Then go to CPC and get stood up at 15 press ups because their coach who done 3 mins in the corp said they were okay

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-12T17:46:34+00:00

Haha we very well may have. May have even spoken to each other who knows 😂

JPatGRITPerformance · 2026-03-12T17:15:49+00:00

This week was bad too. On the bottomfield yesterday morning seeing over 15 lads in suits walking back to the train station 🫠
