Hello poolees. I'm making this thread to share my story of when I was in your shoes, since i've told it about 14148714 times.
My first IST I did 0 pull ups, 40 crunches, and I had an 18 minute mile and a half run.
What I did to overcome that? The most IMPORTANT thing is what you eat. Don't go stuff your face with a mcgriddle on your way to your pull function. Eat some rice, grilled chicken, fruit, pasta, salad. ALL of the time. You can't eat **** food all month then the day before your IST eat that and think you'll be fine.
Also, throw away the sodas. That was my #1 killer. I drank soda like a fiend. I replaced it with water, and voila, I left for boot camp running an 11 minute run.
You get as much as you put in. If you go for a run everyday, as far as you can go, and just add a little bit to it every day (For example, you run to the intersection of A street, then the next day you run past that to the gas station on the other side of the road)
As for pull ups, buy a pull up bar that you can put on your door to your room. What I did was EVERY time i left my room, i'd do a max set. You'll end up doing like, 100 pull ups in 1 day and you wont even realize you did that many.
Hope this helps you guys, have any questions feel free to message me or post here
