StaleHorseBiter :lol: -

Since I'd really rather finish enjoying this glass of red wine, instead of re-typing something that I've typed before, please refer to: DEP COMMO ZONE....scroll down to about the 26th topic, entitled "RIP Questions," by Mangino2424....read my post from 7:35pm on Mar. 13, 2003. I don't know if the older WWII barracks have weight rooms in the barracks.....the newer ones did (back in '88 ). Hope that helps. If you need additional info, let us know.

PHR-
Continue to work out, though...don't just wait for OSUT. One reason (I think) that the Drills let me run with them was because I was a good runner when I got there. I dug up some of my old OSUT paperwork today....on my Phase III APFT Test in OSUT I ran the 2 mile in 11:45....not bad for a 30 yr. old (I smoked our super-cocky 'tabbed' Lt.!).

Strider-

I don't see anything wrong with your workout, so long as your runs are good. You don't want to get so bulked up that you lose your flexibility, either. The main thing, in my opinion, is to do some type of PT (which you are doing). OSUT (again, my opinion) isn't going to whip you into shape, so you can go from butterball to Superman.

It's all about being prepared for RIP and Battalion...that's where you have got to be in top shape. Basic, AIT, and Jump School PT are all a joke. You just don't want to get to RIP and realize that you don't have what it takes.

Keep doing what you're doing, if you're comfortable with it....when the time comes, it's 90% mental anyway.

Does anyone in here know any weight lifting exercises that help with pushups?, if there is any.

Nada - pushups is a repetition exercise using a good portion of your body weight. Maybe bench press 75% of your body weight like 100 reps straight couldn't hurt. But why screw around doing that, when you could just do more pushups?
