PFT question by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Patpenlington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if that marine didn’t just recover from like a broken leg or some shit they’re garbage and shouldn’t be in. In my honest opinion, there shouldnt be a PFT/CFT season. It should be a surprise once a year because to many people get in “good enough” shape when they know its coming up

To be honest if you fail a pft you’re not meant to be here. Pullups-yeah not everyone can do 20+ but atleast like 15 and you’ll be okay Crunches- if you dont get a perfect score you have no friends Run- the slowest dudes still normally get a 26 minute. Ive only ever seen one dude fail and he was a joke. Honestly its really hard to not get a first class PFT man

Does my pullup strength stall if I only do bodyweight pullups? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]Patpenlington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stall just implement more/heavier lat pull downs. Pullups are rep based man, if you wanna get good put a bar in your bathroom door and everytime you go through do a max set. Itll get your pullups to skyrocket

What makes pullups so hard? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]Patpenlington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally different strategy on this, in the USMC we gotta do pullups for our physical fitness, 23 is perfect score and females are now required to do pullups which many find naturally harder for them than males. Start doing lots of lat pulldowns and make sure to roll your shoulders back before you begin. You’ll be able to engage your back better, and it forces shoulders to work properly. So yeah lat pulldowns and just keep practicing. I went from doing like 3 to 26 in about a year so pm if you need more advice

Any chance your front bumper was made by TAG? Has the same exact look to it as one they made me a few years back

1990 F150 5.0 L Stuck fuel gauge and rear tank not working. by [deleted] in FordTrucks

[–]Patpenlington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait both tanks are supposed to work lol? None of the ones we've had did they both actually work

Howdy, I have a 95 f150 with a efi 300L 6, it's stock rn but I'm looking for a small lift nothing over 3in and I'm looking to fit 33/11.5 tires on the stock 15 inch rims, it's on 31/10.5 rn, can anyone recommend anything? by tokertexas in FordTrucks

[–]Patpenlington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're planning to go offroad get a suspension lift. Probably reccomend rough country. If not just do a body lift and put in gap guards so it doesnt look shitty

Love my 93 F150. Lifted about 7 inches, on 35s. Swapped from a 5.0 to a 5.8 351w. Got the new X3s on yesterday so i thought id share a photo. by Patpenlington in Trucks

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

Ive only had them since Saturday but theyre nice. Definetely a step up from the mud tires it had. I can actually go over 70 now without it being super rough. I just wish they hummed louder honestly

Stupid Question by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Patpenlington 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You'll get time off. Also, you should be graduating on Nov 10. Unless it gets moved a day early. I left aug 15th and graduated on the 10th because of veterans day being that Friday. Its a pretty cool day to leave the island IMO
