Yeah for us (Air Force) height and weight dont mean anything. The only things weighed in your score are pushups, situps, run, and waist measurement. The run counts for 50 points then the waist 30 points and situps/pushups 10 points each.

Max score waist = 32inch (30 points)
Max score pushups = 62 (10 points)
Max score situps = 55 (10 points)
Max score run = 9:36 (50 points)

Note that these are for my age group which is 18-25 I think, then after that the standards get a little easier.

Wednesday 30 May

Workout B
3x5 Squat - 165 lbs
3x5 Standing military press - 115 lbs
3x5 Bent Rows - 145 lbs
2x8 Chinups

Ab work: Decline sit-ups (1x55), Vertical Leg Raise (1x25), Medicine ball rotations (2x50), Rope-Crunches (1x25)

Todays workout went good on everything except for the standing military press. I started out with 125lbs on my first set and that was too much so I had to bring it down to 115lbs. I might have hit a wall on those so we will have to see how they work out next workout.

OH, yeah dude I was in the AF too. Back then (I won't say how far back ) height and weight could get you kicked out if you didn't bring you weight down to suit the formula. That's a big change they've made. Although I'm sure it's been in effect a long time cuz it was WAY back when I was in. The point system is new to me too.

Keep up the good work, huntor.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

Thanks man, it feels good to get a good score on the PT test. The new standards came into effect right when I joined up because when I first was talking the recruiter he measured my height and weight, but then in 2004 they changed over to the way it is now.

Monday 4 June

Workout A
3x5 Squat - 170 lbs
3x5 Bench Press - 245 lbs
2x5 Deadlift - 170 lbs
2x12 Dips - 35 lbs

Ab work: Decline sit-ups (1x55), Leg Raises (1x25), Medicine ball rotations (2x50), Rope Crunches (1x25)

Good workout. Felt good to go up in weight on the squats and deads, I feel like I can keep increasing those by 5lbs every workout. The benchpress was a challenge...I will probably get stuck at 250lbs for a few workouts, but that gives my other lifts time to catch up.

Wednesday 6 June

Workout B
3x5 Squat - 175 lbs
3x5 Standing military press - 100 lbs
3x5 Bent Rows - 165 lbs
2x8 Chinups

Ab work: Decline sit-ups (1x60), Vertical Leg Raise (1x25), Side rotations (2x25), Rope-Crunches (1x25)

Had to lower the weight on the military presses because they were hurting my shoulder. I am almost up to 185 on the squats which is exciting. The bent over rows were really challenging at that weight, I may stay at that weight for a few workouts.

I have been having a hard time making my Friday workouts the last couple of weeks. I always seemed to get pulled in another direction on Friday and miss my workout and I need to change something so this doesnt happen. I was thinking of changing my workouts to Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday...maybe that will help. I just dont want to skip anymore workouts because I feel like im losing a lot of the strength I was gaining.

So I decided to just suck it up and do the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday workouts. I will make time every Friday, even if it means everything else gets put on hold!

Monday 18 June

Workout A
3x5 Squat - 185 lbs
3x5 Bench Press - 245 lbs
3x5 Deadlift - 175 lbs
2x12 Dips - 45 lbs

Ab work: Decline sit-ups (1x70), Leg Raises (1x40), Medicine ball rotations (2x50)

Squats were pretty tough, I think Im going to stay at 185lbs for a little longer. I tried going for 250lbs on bench but it nearly killed me on my first set so I lowered it to 245lbs and I swear it felt 20lbs lighter! Maybe I will try for 250 next week. Deadlifts were solid at 175 and I upped my weighted dips by ten pounds bringing them to 45lbs now.
