[blampe]

I would like to hear from all Marines and poolees.

Marines: Your PFT/IST score before boot camp and your PFT score at the end of boot camp.

Poolees: Your current PFT/IST score right now.

This would help me and other poolees see how much you truly improve after a solid 3 months of hard work. Thanks!

Recruiter tells me that as of now I would be competitive for officers selection board, but I hope to get as close as possible if not at 300 by the time I meet up with my OSO and start my package.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Remember your IST doesn't mean anything- train for the PFT. You'll only run 1.5 miles when you first get to boot camp- that doesn't happen as you progress. The PT runs keep getting longer until you get in the fleet- then they level out.

My final PFT in boot camp wasn't spectacular. I was recovering from a concussion and got stitches out of my head the day of the PFT (that I had to run with a different company) I maxed the pull ups and sit ups, but my run time was the worst time I had in my Marine Corps career. Could be because I spent a good amount of time throwing up and being dizzy.

[arkaryu]

Kind of makes me feel like i have not been putting out :(

I DEP'ed in 20080313 so I've only had roughly 30 days to get ready to go.
I am a tall and skinny guy (6'2, 173lbs) but not active very much anymore until recently haha.

anyways, when i first started preparing:

pull-ups: 2
crunches: 35
and I was not able to do the 1.5 mile without stopping.

As of last week i am currently:

pull-ups: 7
crunches: 60
1.5 mile: 11:35 (dont have to stop anymore, haha!)

I ship out in a couple days (20080414), so I am fairly happy with my progress.

[ChuckR30]

Pull ups - 17
Crunches - 100
1.5 mile - 9:00

[Antwan2008]

Pull ups- 4
Crunches- 85
Run-idk yet havent ran it

[bgsuwoody]

My IST was 22 pullups, 9 something run, and 100+ crunches. My final PFT was a 259 or something like that...I actually worsened...not enough PT in bootcamp...On a practice PFT the other day I ran a 20:30 and maxed out in pullups and crunches...so I got a 285. The fleet will build you up SOOOO fast.

[Spiral Man]

Pull Ups : 15-18
Sit Ups : 120 or so
Run Time : Around 10 Minutes for the 1.5 M

[SEANstaah]

First IST, two months ago, 5'8" 170 lb:

crunches ~ <80
1.5 mile - ~ >11
3 mile - 24:40

[dhenderson88]

1.5 mile - 16:00

Now roughly a month later
Pull ups- 4
Crunches - 104
1.5 mile - 13:25
2 mile - 17:40
Slowly working my way up to three miles.

[NCard0za]

DEP'd around 200803

Pull Ups - 0
Crunches - 35
1.5 Mile - 11:30

8 Weeks later - shipping in 2 weeks

Pull Ups - 3-4
Crunches - 60
1.5 Mile - 9:50

I also lost 75 pounds in the last 7 months in order to join

Went from about 240lbs to now 165lbs; I'm 5'9

I'm pretty disappointed in my performance compared to everyone else on here and in my own poolee group, but i'm proud of what i've accomplished for myself in just about half a year.

Hope I dont get myself in trouble for not performing as well as most of you here :-/

[Donut Brigade]

Initial:

Pull ups-0
Sit ups-45
1.5 mile run-16:40

3 months later:

Pull ups-5
Sit ups-60
1.5 mile run-9:30

Doing another IST this weekend, expecting another big improvement.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

NCard0za, you've made good progress. You'll continue to get better at boot camp. As long as you put 100 percent effort into everything you'll be OK. The DIs may abuse you for it, but they will get you for something no matter what. Just look at it as a chance to get better.

[SEANstaah]

First IST, two months ago, 5'8" 170 lb:
pull ups - 0
crunches - 88
1.5 mile - 12:59

Current, 157 lb.
pull ups - 8
crunches ~ <80
1.5 mile - ~ >11
3 mile - 24:40

I am now at 10 pull ups, 110 crunches. Crunches are the easiest to improve on. Running with a group of people will definitely help you increase your times. I have been neglecting that.

[JSam]

What are the PFT scores based on?

[SEANstaah]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps_Physical_Fitness_Test

pull ups, crunches, 3 mile run time.

Marine Corps PFTs are scored the following way for males: five points for every pull-up, one point for every crunch, and one point is deducted from 100 for every 10 seconds slower than 18 minutes. For females, about 1.5 points is given per second and one point is deducted from a hundred for every 10 seconds slower than 21 minutes on the 3-mile run. Crunches are scored the same way as males. A male or female Marine must score a total of 135 points between the three events to pass the PFT.

[MotivatorOfTheGuard]

You're ability to pass each event. You are graded on how well you do them ie. how fast your runtime was, how many pullups out of twenty you can do, and how many crunches out of 100 you can do. Your score is based off those numbers, and then added up to find your final score.

[ndsucandidate]

Started:

65 situps
13 pullups
31:30 3 mile

Now:

125 situps
22 pullups
23:30 3 mile

I run my thirty day PFT for OCC tomorrow so we'll see if I can improve my run.

[MotivatorOfTheGuard]

That is amazing improvment pup. Congragulations and good luck!

[Poolee1991]

*Female*

Not the best but I think it's pretty good for just starting out

Flexarm hang: 58
Crunches: 75
1 1/2 run: 13:44

[PhantomLord]

5'11"
165

pull ups : 21
crunches : 85
5K run : 21:10

My run sucks right now but its getting there. i went from a 12 minute 1 miler down to a 5:59 minute mile. I just can't sustain that speed for 2 more miles. I end up slowing down to around a 7:30 pace for the last two. Just takes more training.

Also my crunches suck. I just hate doing them, lol. but again, they have to be done so I'm getting there.

[CalahanD]

Pull Ups- 20

Sit ups- 123

Crunches- 100

1.5 mile- 10:40

Poolees, how are your IST scores compared with your fellow poolees in your area? From what I've seen on this site so far, you guys here are a lot more in-shape than most of the poolees in my area. It's pretty bad, but it's not common to see poolees from my area crank out more than 10 or 12 pull-ups and 60 crunches. The run isn't much different.

I just thought of a different theory.. maybe my area isn't out of shape, but only poolees on this site with good scores are responding to the question. Hmm...

Hmm...Or it's mainly the really motivated poolees that find sites like these because they're googling everything they can about the USMC, and thus, they're motivated enough to get their lazyass fat bodies in shape.

Anyway:
Pull-ups: 13
Sit-ups: 69
3 mile: 23:49

[benw2200]

Very true. Good thinking.. I agree.

You are right on that.
(started at) 185 Pounds

3 mile: 24:00

(Now) 162 Pounds
Pull-ups: 21
Sit-ups: 107
3 mile: 19:08

Not bad for a 2 months of training? I never ever do sit ups.. I mean never lol it is something I just dont do and some how I manage do complete them without a problem.:bunny:

[benw2200]

That's a really good improvement..

I think with crunches, it's really about 70 or 80 percent technique and timing. Some of my fellow poolees can only do like 30 or 40.. which means they're either obscenely out of shape or doing them with bad form. I was stuck around 70 for the longest time, now I can almost always do 90-100. I also think a lot of it is the person holding your legs. If the person half-asses it and doesn't really keep your legs still you waste a lot of energy that way.

ye that is true.... I can do still do 90+ with people who have no idea what they are doing and I also feel a hell of alot more tired then I do when there is someone who knows what there doing I could proble do 120 but I dont really push myself I just get them done and move on to the pull ups

[RickyV]

4 pull ups
115 crunches
11 minute 1.5 mile run

wheight: 170
Height : 6,2

[Seyborg]

Well after boot, I run a 21:00 min 3 miler and I crunch anywhere from 100-120.

Pull ups increased to 20, yes, it's possible.

[NaguYen]

After reading all of these I am ashamed to say that I am only at:

5'8" 125 lbs

Pull ups - 4
Sit ups - 75
1.5 mile - 11:00 minutes

I ship 20081027 so I still have time to work on things, but I just feel like **** cause of where I'm at.

2 months is plenty of time to improve. Your sit ups and run are decent.. but your pull ups are lacking. For the pull ups, I'd check out the Armstrong program. I've not actually tried it myself but it seems like a solid routine. It's supposed to improve your pullups by at least 8-10 in 4-6 weeks so if you start now and work hard you should definitely get better by the time you ship. You can find the Armstrong program here http://www.4mcd.usmc.mil/AOP/OSOHyattsville/Armstrong%20Pullup%20Program.htm

[Seyborg]

When I was a poolee....


I could only do three!

before I shipped I got to 15. The Armstrong program and losing wieght helped with that.

You have to run/bicycle/ellyptical SOMETHING AND do pushups/pull ups with some weight training. YOU ARE NOT BULKING.

Thanks for the routine, i'll definitely try that out.

[egbutler1]

I would like to hear from all Marines and poolees.

Marines: Your PFT/IST score before boot camp and your PFT score at the end of boot camp.

Poolees: Your current PFT/IST score right now.

This would help me and other poolees see how much you truly improve after a solid 3 months of hard work. Thanks!

In boot my IST was
10min mile and half
100 sit ups
9 pulls

In the Marines i constantly kept up with
18:30 - 19:00 min 3 mile
100 sit ups
16 - 18 pulls

Never got a 300 :-(

[Hologram]

Well after boot, I run a 21:00 min 3 miler and I crunch anywhere from 100-120.

Pull ups increased to 20, yes, it's possible.Hey! I didn't notice you were back! Congratulations Marine!:marine:

[YutYut]

My IST was

8:30 1.5mile run
80 crunches
10 pullups

Boot camp final PFT

God bless my endomorphic body.

Just wanted to motivate all you other endos/fatbodies who can't do a single pullup.

pull ups 16

[Haffner]

I also think a lot of it is the person holding your legs. If the person half-asses it and doesn't really keep your legs still you waste a lot of energy that way.

Now, I am not a man who would place the blame for his shortcomings on someone else, however, that is a damn fine point and I've ALWAYS stressed this since I've came in (besides, I can say this, I've not once gotten less than 100) If you have a lazy piece of **** holding your legs that's more worried about relaxing and sitting on his ass for a minute or two, you'll expend much more energy.

You really have to let the person holding your legs know what they're doing wrong. You don't have much time at that point, of course, but you still have to let them know. It could be the difference between (Lord I hope not this) pass or fail, or even worse, 99 and 100 (you'll catch hell for that).

Lol yah that is what my recruiter says all the time to the little f*ckers that cant hold down anyone and they end up getting under 100 when we all know they can easily do 110...

well i never really counted my before bootcamp pft so my after is:

100+ crunches
17 pullups
20:30 3 mile (and i was a smoker bdfore lol)

[Tommyray]

My current IST score

1.5 mile run - 10:24
Pull ups - 14
Crunches -54

I havn't worked on the crunches at all yet, well not counting this last week. So I'm putting alot of focus in that area. I was a very avid smoker, smoked a pack or more a day for the last 3 years. I quit cold turkey last Sunday.

A month ago I had to force myself to even be able to run a half mile. On my workout today, I did a 2.5 mile run in about 20 minutes at a moderate pace.. I had plenty left to give.. I could have sprinted the last 1/4 mile to up my time, but I wasn't going to time.

When I ran the IST yesterday and got that 10:24 I started sprinting about 300 yards from finish, but I still had a ways I could have kept up my sprinting pace when I crossed the line.. So I think next time I'll start pushing myself at about 500 yards I should be able to knock it down to a 10:00 flat.. I'm going to retest on Wednesday and see if I produce any better results.. also my IST was done with no sleep the night before.. So I'll post my new results later this week.

[duarte]

My latest IST:

10 Pull-Ups
119 Sit-ups
1.5 mile- 10:55

But just two weeks before that:
7 Pull-ups
114 Sit-Ups
1.5 mile- 10:14

The reason for the slower time in running was because its beginning to get really cold and i was wearing more clothing than needed.

Recruiter tells me that as of now I would be competitive for officers selection board, but I hope to get as close as possible if not at 300 by the time I meet up with my OSO and start my package.
