And I would warn you that just dropping the weight isn't a guarantee of many more pullups. Do whatever you think is right but if it were me I'd concentrate on doing the training I needed to do and not worry about that fat.
That was actually going to be my next question... I still think that running is going to be easier without 15lbs of dead weight, but at the same time...OCS breaks your body down a lot, 185lb guys will come out weighing in the 160's. A lot of that, given the nature of the exercise, is muscle. If I went in there with a bit more fat stored up, do you think that would prevent any muscle loss?
