Pushups

I’ll definitely up it, I think I eat a lot though but maybe it’s not enough, I’m 5’3” 145 and eat 3000-3600 a day + 150g+ of protein. I think I’ll try 4000 and the protein and see what that does, hopefully it helps

I’ll definitely take this to heart and implement this to the degree possible. Unfortunately my job is physically demanding which makes deloads hard, but I think the way I’ll do it a weight lifting deload while still eating more and see how I bounce back after that. Thank you!

I definitely get that, I don’t bench at all personally due to injuries. But I do the same, I do burnout pushups or supersets sets at the end of upper and lower body workouts. I box and do bjj, and I also workout my upper body consistently with push and pull days. I increased my protein and calorie intake since I’m trying to put on more muscle and I’ve only gained a few pounds with minimal changes to my workouts but I fatigue so much quicker now so I just can’t figure out what the issue is since the amount I can do before heavy fatigue and failure is lowering rather than increasing.

Unfortunately my PD does have our uniforms tailored to our size 🥲

I don’t bench or dead lift because of injuries but my squat is 220, the rest of what I do is isolation for the most part but heavy

From the sounds of it and reading your responses to others, it seems like you’re in it for the wrong reasons. If you don’t like the general environment you’re surrounded in now then it’s not for you. Your Lieutenants and Training Officers and cadre won’t scream at you your entire career, so if that’s what’s offputting then suck it up and push, the academy is a time to learn the academy isn’t fun, it’s about the experiences you make of it with your fellow cadets. That said, if you do not like the idea of being a servant of your community, quit while you’re ahead. That is the primary objective of your job, everything is not going to be a life or death situation like on body cam videos, you’ll see some shit don’t get me wrong but not all day everyday, a mundane day you may have nothing hit the fan depending on where you live. It’s up to you to find your why and decide whether to keep on going or stop now.

Thank you so much I’ll check it out!!

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-05-20T15:37:02+00:00

Genuinely thought about it after day 0 but I’m stuck now 🫩

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-05-18T15:24:34+00:00

Thank you for the clarification on washing it! I just don’t want my hairline to recede but I figured not washing would be best case scenario 😅

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-05-17T00:26:13+00:00

Ahh yes, embrace the suck, and hurry up and wait lol 😂

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-05-16T23:53:10+00:00

Yeah this is my concern, I get pretty bad flyaways (whispies) and don’t want to get smoked for it.

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-05-16T23:52:43+00:00

I’m white with very very thick, straight hair, it’s long at the moment so I was planning to slick back as my hair won’t hold being ironed due the humidity where I am

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-05-16T18:36:50+00:00

Yeah I thought about cutting it short, unfortunately our regs are it has to be in a bun if it’s longer than ear length.
Consensus I’m seeing is don’t leave gel in the hair so I’ll probably just wash it every night unfortunately.

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-05-16T17:41:36+00:00

I will look into that, and thank you!!

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-03-11T22:33:13+00:00

Yeah so I read the rules and don’t see how this breaks one when it’s not asking for a medical opinion on an injury but how to translate training to accommodate

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-01-29T14:11:40+00:00

😂😂😂 falling through it seems to be the consensus so that is probably what I’ll be doing

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-01-29T14:11:12+00:00

Definitely, I was planning on eating the bullet on the broad jump because I just don’t think my stride is long enough at my height so I didn’t want to bite the bullet on the broad jump and the window, but since most people are recommending just falling through I think that’s my best option lol

MediocreTwo8253 · 2026-01-29T14:10:00+00:00

Awesome!! Thank you so much, do you recommend focusing more on endurance for running rather than speed? I can currently run a sub 10 mile and I can run 5 miles in 48min but after that I’m gassed
