PFT Scores...

[Motorola07]

Okay who has actualy done the PFT.. Place your scores... times w/e...
My time is 26:50 (yes i know i need to work on it)
Pullups 17
Situps 110

Now you dont Count past 20 on the pull ups and you dont count past 100 on the situps.

Heres a Calculator for counting up the pullups, situps, and run time.

My score is... 232 which is a first class PFT, if im not mistaken someone please correct me if im wrong. Why im bringing this up.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

A 225 is first class, so you do have that. Of course, i do believe that every Marine should have a first class PFT.

You do need to work on the run, but other than that you're golden.

[grodunt]

Motorola07 try this PFT calculator out. http://semperfi.uchicago.edu/PFT%20Calculator.html

[rolive]

I did it up at the gym last night and here are the results.
Pull ups=11
Curl ups=100
run= 22:01

[hawks]

Pullups - 10
Crunches - 57 (I know)
Run - 19:10

[PatriotGirl422]

A 225 is first class? Until now I had always thought that a 250 was first class.
Well, right now I have a 264 score.

Crunches- 153
Flexed arm hang- 70 seconds
Run- 26:57 (That's the only thing I need to work on)

[chrisnica]

Wow, poolees are ready to go.

15 pull-ups
100 crunches
20:05 run

score of 269

:usmc:

[Motorola07]

Bring those crunches up hawks... thats 100 points you are missing out on.
10 pullups is okay, I mean 3 is the min to pass. But work on it. You are sitting at 200 for PFT score

[Motorola07]

Rolive you are at 230, work on the pullups and get past it. Just a few more and you will do even better.

19/102/22:20

Thats a 269. Out of curiosity, Marines, how much did your 3 mile run time improve from the beginning of Recruit Training to by the time you left?

[Smalcom]

30-40 pullups (42 personal best)
100 crunches
16:00 5k (during cross country season, however I have bad shin splints as of 3 weeks ago)

5k is 3.15 miles i believe

...300

[rktect3j]

...300

YOU"RE a freakin MACHINE. I knew I guy in boot camp that ran like that when I was in MRP. He ended up getting dropped because he couldn't do 3 pullups due to an injury. But man, when he ran it was nothing but legs flying.

I'm 39 so...

Situps 80
Pullups 20 old kip style
Run 25:45 about 2 weeks ago. 46:00, 5 mile run about 1.5 weeks ago
Run 26:30 today

[Motorola07]

He is a beast, haven't seen someone do 40 pullups yet.

[Wolfman07]

Pull ups: 21
Crunches: 126
3 mile: 21:00
282
That run time is really p***ing me off. I want it down to 18:00 before I ship and Im gonna get it.:mad:

Thats awsome. My personal best is 30 pull ups.I wish i could do 40. Anyways,
100 crunches
18:40 run
30 pull ups

[Vizior]

Pull-ups: 20 +
Situps: 100 +
Run: 21:00 I think?

That is 282, I believe. I am hoping to acheive a score of 300 by the end of 13 weeks.

[Achped]

Holy crap I've got some work to do.

Pull ups: 15
Situps 100+ easy
Run: 24:00~

[onetwothreefour]

Wasnt the record at boot broken this summer. Pullups are up to about 91 I beleive. Thats just amazing.

[jkarate212]

I understand you can do your pullups with your palms facing you or away from you. Which do you guys prefer?

[BrentAndrew]

I understand you can do your pullups with your palms facing you or away from you. Which do you guys prefer?

I start with a wide palms facing away grip, then once i start struggling a bit switch to a palms in grip.

[Achped]

For the record, a guy at my RSS can do 26 pullups, a sub 17 minute 3 mile, and 100+ crunches.

He's fourteen, and a freshman. Can you imagine what this guy will be like in 3 years when he DEPs in?

Yea, but he also has some growing to do yet! You never know how his body might change on him.

[Motorola07]

It is what ever your body can handle. When you do palms away you are working on your back muscles... Doing it with palms forward. you are using your forearm. Do what is easier.

[patlan1011]

First off let me say that I am really impressed with most of you poolees and means that I've got a little bit of work to do in the next 5 months.. (not that I wasn't going to busting my own a$$ anyway..) but also let me say that about 3 months ago when I did my first PFT ever I could only do about..

3-4 pull-ups
~85 crunches (2min)
3 mil was around 24 min..
which put me at about ~165...

now..

10 pull-ups
95+ crunches (I can never seem to get 100!)
~21:30 for the 3 mil
so that's right at the border of a 1st class.. depending on exactly how fast my run is and exactly how many crunches I do.. but I still got 5 months so I'm PTing my a$$ off!

oh yea I do my pull-ups palms out but I tried palms in the other day and I got the same number.. 10.. my goal is to be able to do 20+ both ways!

[JHSWRESTLER2007]

17 pullups
115 crunches
20:00 minute three mile

what would that be scored as? how do i score it?

[Motorola07]

I get 17 palms away.

[patlan1011]

17 pullups
115 crunches
20:00 minute three mile

what would that be scored as? how do i score it?

there was a link posted at the beginning of this thread on how to score.. but that would put you at.. 273 out of 300

[Wolfman07]

I just ran another PFT today and...
3 mile- 19:44
Pullups- 21
crunches- 126
I dropped 1 min 15 sec from my run time in about 2 weeks, hope I can do it again.

[Marine84]

DAYAM! 3 miles in less than 20 minutes?!?!?!!?!??! What are you part antelope or something???? That's GOOD!

[Wolfman07]

Not really part antelope, mostly just really ****ed off and focused! haha I was not gonna let another poolee at my RSS get a higher PFT score then me! A little motivation goes along way!

[SnowPaint078]

Oh it is on now. The second I hit 20 pull-ups I will have the highest PFT, Unless you get your time down more. But at the rate your going now you'll get a 19:00 if not 18:00 before you leave. And I bet you anything if I was running at the same time, you would have get an even better time. But get ready for PT tomorrow, Hell yaaa!

[ColtonK]

Pull-ups: 4 (horrible...I know)
Crunchs:100
3-Mile: 18:30

I have the MCROTC Scholarship PFT comming in 1 month. Does anyone know a training routine that will get my pull-ups up there within that time period?

[Smalcom]

do the armstrong pullup program

All of you guys struggling with running, and ur just barely short of sub 18 time... realize that san diego and PI are sea level and breathing will be a lot easier (unless you're already sea level) but im at almost 5,000 feet where I live, oxygen is quite thin.

Best way to get more pull-ups is to do more pull-ups. Not really much to explain for them. One exercise we do at our station is pyramid pull-ups. You do 1 pull-up, 10 push-ups. 2 pull-ups, 10 push-ups. Then you continue that till you get to the "peak" (for you that should be 5). When you get to the top of the pyramid, you continue the exercise, but start going down. 4, 10, 3, 10, 2, 10, 1, 10. That will help a lot, you may need assisted pull-ups near the top, im sure someone wont mind. Once you can do that, progress the pyramid and try doing 6 then 7 exc. One thing I just did is I went out and bought a pull-up bar, you just place it in your door. Then every time you walk by it do your max set, eventually you will be able to do more. I am at 16 & hoping to get 20 before bootcamp. The pull-up bar is only $20.00, you can get it at Dicks Sporting Goods (And im sure Wal-Mart and Target sell them too). Its deffinatley money well spent.

[isaac3451027]

30 pull ups
120 crunches
18.00min 3mile run
still try to improve crunches but preety good scores thanks to wrestling

[isaac3451027]

i wana go recon think i should train more

[Jopson]

Pullups: 25
Crunches: 125
3-Mile: 19:25

For a score of 291.

[Motorola07]

bump!!

[HurricaneRJ]

I'm going to be real honest unlike you other guys.
(Thats right, I'm ****ing jealous)

3 Miles: 23:37
Pull-ups: 2
Crunches: 112

The reason Pull-Ups are low is simple. When i work out with the recruiters, they don't let me do muscle training or pull-ups.
I'm doing carido for an hour! Got 10lbs to shed of so I can DEP in, once I DEP in, then I will concentrate on Pull-ups and Crunches and Running alittle bit more. I have to be 240 to DEP in and I have to be 225 to ship out.

[FutureMarine916]

Pullups: 18
Crunches: 64
3-Mile: 24:07 ......Ouch, i hate running.

[HurricaneRJ]

Get used to it, sooner or later you will love it.

[white9165]

pull ups-15
crunches-100
3 mile run-22 min

[Killa K]

Pull ups: 26
Crunches: 170
3 Mile: 18:00

Couldn't have done it without my motivated recruiter

[HurricaneRJ]

Put in your PFT information in here and lets see some scores.

[MCWRESTLER2006]

Pull ups:26
Crunches in 2 min:176
Mile and half run: 21:13:flag:

[MCWRESTLER2006]

Whats the best way to get your run time down because i want to get it down to atlest 20 min :usmc:

[Wolfman07]

You can open your stride up pretty far and keep it open for the entire way and get a breathing pattern down that you find that gets you enough air. Thats how I cut about 2 minutes off my time from 21:49 to about 19:21.

[MCWRESTLER2006]

Alright i'll try that thank you:)

[PatriotGirl422]

Geez since so many of us already have perfect pft scores, you'd think they would consider raising the standards. Doesn't seem like much of a challenge to me...(or maybe some of us are not scoring ourselves properly)

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Seeing a perfect score is pretty unusual. Either the people here are PT studs, or some people don't tell the whole truth about their scores. Getting 100 for pull ups and situps/crunches and then running around 20:00 or 20:30 would usually leave you among the top two or three people in my unit.

[Motorola07]

People... you need to actually run the 3 mile... Not add the 1.5 mile run time together, it doesnt count, you will most likely slow down when you run.. And im pretty sure half of you on the 1.5 mile run, sprint at the end... So ya...

[HurricaneRJ]

I've been wondering the same damn thing. We had this one Marine who couldn't do the three miles that well and sucked at pullups. After boot camp, he was fit three miles was no sweat and pull-ups was a joke to him.

He made Recon and continue to serves until this day with the 2nd Reconnaissance Bn. (I beleive, he is in LeJuene so I must be right.)

Then I see all these guys with 17 min 3 mile runs, 20+ pull-ups. And I was wondering WTF are eating??? Why haven't yah'll shipped out yet and for you dudes out there, if you don't go infantry.......Well I'm keep the statement to myself.:p

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

No reason for them to have to go infantry. We need physically fit MPs, Radio Operators, Truck Drivers, Bomb Hangers, Cooks, etc. Every Marine should be as fit as he/she possibly can be.

I'll still bet almost any amount of money that there isn't one person here that could keep up with my first platoon commander in the fleet. And she was only five foot two. (And yes, I said SHE) She made me want to die on more than one occasion, and I am sure she could do the same to most people here.

[chrisathey1989]

pull-ups: 17
cruches:175
run time: 21:05
thats a 266 and i did that at my poolee function wednesday night. (and yes that is my run time for the three mile, not the mile and a half put doubled.)

[Tovarish1]

What kind of sit ups were they? I know it's a stupid question but were they the ones where you interlock your fingers and put your hands behind your head?

[Selen]

Pull up's: 10
Sit ups: 69(I know I need to work on this):(
3 mile run time: 20:17
Score: 205 2nd class:(

I'm in great shape but I think I need some more motovation:evilgrin:

[Tovarish1]

Yeah I did 167 sit ups today (I touched my knees not behind my head), I ran 40 laps around my house which is 3 miles and I made it in 17 minutes and I don't know how many seconds, and I did 17 pull ups on a branch on a tree. Gotta do better on the pull ups.:thumbup:

[Tovarish1]

I'm only 13 so I gotta do a little better, considering I'm running the mile tomorrow. I love the mile but most people aren't very fond of it. I think we should at least run 3 miles because I wanna make it into Force Recon. Pretty nervous about that even though I should only worry about it in maybe 5 years.

[Streeter]

1.5 Mile : 12:30
Crunches: 56 in 2 Minutes
Pull-Ups: 21

Running and Crunches need definite work, If I dropped weight I would be a lot faster.

[Tovarish1]

1.5 is nothing. Yeah I get really tired when I finish 3 miles and I might have to bathe in freezing water but it's a feeling of self worth once you finish those 3 miles. Just think of it this way, run 10, 3 times, and it won't be so bad.

[Tovarish1]

You can do it. What motivates me, is singing some of my favorite songs, not listening to them, but singing them in my head.

[Tovarish1]

I think my mile might be a little faster now that I know how to control my breathing (breath through your nose and out or mouth). And also I lost 2 pounds today. We had fitness testing in my school today and I was 107.6 pounds, now I'm 105. For the record that's okay for someone whose like 62 inches.

[meallen07]

Pull ups: 20 - I wasn't allowed to go further
Crunches: 80 - Working on them, haven't done them in PFT style in a while
Run: 22:30 - Always working on that

Congratulations to that Iron Mike above in the quote!!

[blackshirts]

This thread is depressing...or motivating. Not sure which one. My run time is terrible. I can't even finish a 3 mi. without stopping for a short while. Working on it 5 times a week though.

[giveen]

My last year in as a "fat body Marine"
Score : 281
Pullups: 20 (I could do 25)
Situps: 100 (I could do 130)
