What's YOUR PT routine?

[alexpw62]

Poolees & Wannabes: What is YOUR PT routine? How are you preparing your body for boot camp? Post it here!

I'm usually out of bed at 5 every morning for an hour of cardio; usually 45 mins. running followed by 15 minutes of calisthenics. I do this every day except Sunday, because that's the day I concentrate on PT for the soul. :D I also lift weights 3 days a week; I do heavy weights and low reps. I concentrate on compound movements like bench press, squat, power clean, and deadlift. I finish off every weight workout with pushups and situps basically until I physically can't do any more of them.

I think it's a pretty good program, getting up that early sucks always but I don't even think about it anymore; whenever I think about rolling over and hitting the snooze button, I just remember that there won't be any snooze-buttons at boot camp!!:flag:

IM up at 7am, do 3 max sets of pushups, normal, incline, normal. Then I do 30minutes of 100meter windsprints at the park near my house. Depending on the day of the week, Im at class either at 1000 or 1100.

Getting to class is a 1mile endurance run, cross a 4lane hiway, then approximately a 500meter speed run. Returning is the same.

When I get out of class is the reverse run, then I either report to the RSS or a Marine comes to collect me for PT. Either we do an hour plus of IT or we do weights or a PFT. When I get home, I do 100 crunches with my legs over a preachers bench weight set.

50 full 4count pushups before bed.

Weekends are the same except I do 500pushups throughout the day and 250 crunches instead of reporting to the RSS. Pushups are a killer for me, so that takes up most of the day.

I eat mostly Protein .. And Combining that with Working out, i work out regularly, Improving upper body, and running on cardio. (after a work out it is important to drink a protien shake) I have a really high Metabolism, Weight is never a problem for me .. and i drink water during the work out .. its very important also.

[TylerA23]

yea i forgot to add, if it matters, i too drink protien shakes after these workouts, and drink water regularly throughout the day, and while workin out

My PT routine is kinda slow right now because im still in skool, but every day i run about 4 miles my road is 2 miles to the end so i run to the end and back, then i do 5 max sets of pull ups then 3 max sets of push ups then 3 max sets of crunches then i chase that with some monkey ****ers, side straddle hops, hello dolly's, flutter kicks, sun gods, mountian climbers,dirty dogs, or power squats. i mix it up from day to day except for the run, pull ups, crunches, and push ups, just so i dont get bored. when i graduate ill be living at the gym, but for now this works pretty good.

I like to keep it pretty simple. Everyday I go for 30 minute jogs in the morning and probably cover around 4 miles or so, give or take depending on my route, and at night I run at a much faster pace (not quite sprinting though) around my block for as long as I can manage. I'm currently up to 15 mins, but I'm working on it. After each run I alternate sets of 20 sit-ups and push-ups over and over again until I collapse in a sweaty pile.

Every other day I hit the bench press and do about 30 minutes of light-weight, high-rep chest, arm and back excersizes and as many squats as I can do until my legs get wobbly.

My rountine changes almost daily. I work 4 different schedules in a 5 day work week. I have poolee functions on Wednesdays. I run once or twice a day incorporating pull-ups before and after the run. I do interval training including, quarters, wind sprints, backward sprints, knee highs, heels up, and walking lunges(these babies will kill you after about 4 miles of running and doing 50 lunges every quater mile.) I include one long run a week, usually around 7-11miles.

I also do crunches when I wake up and before bed. My other ab work consists of everything from 6 inches to the bridge. I also do a 4 workout ladder system; 50 crunches, 1 pull-up, 2 dips, 3 pushups. Then I increase the pull-ups by 1 up to 10 total, dips go up by 2's, pushups by 3's, and crunches do the same. So my middle set is 50 crunches, 10 pull-ups, 20 dips, and 30 push-ups. I then go back down to 1 pullup. There is no rest in between each excercise and 90second rest between sets.
