Joining the British Army as an officer /fit/. How do I get in shape for the bag of dicks that is this fitness test?
>Beep test level 11
>44 pushups in 2 minutes (though more is better)
>50 sit ups in 2 minutes (though more is better)
>2.5km run in less than 10 minutes
I've been training for mass until now to find out thats just going to fuck up my running. Help me get those reps with ease /fit/
They usually have fitness guides.
But quit whining, atleast you're not doing the Royal Marine tests

That is easier than the minimum US Army enlisted pt standards.

Was going to but I'm too old to join as an officer.
>tfw you get told you're too old for anything at 26

My mate tried out for the marines, he got quite far into it and got really fit in the process but he got diagnosed with muscular dystrophy in a medical and ended up getting kicked out.

these are fucking low standards, get a grip on reality dude
also start running and doing push ups, that's all
If you've been training at all, you could probably pass that test fine. That's easy as shit.

Can 2pl8 bench but just tried to do 44 push ups in two minutes and I only just made it.

Want to impress though anon, I want to show that the standard reps are easy mode
>>36676198
This is how
Train to do 60 pushups in 2 minutes
70 situps

Shooting for over what you need will keep you from blowing it on the test day

Thanks Captain Obvious.
I meant how do you train to do x situps in two minutes?
I can train bench press for strength but how do I train for endurance and speed?

So you want to become the murderer of innocent Aryan, African and Middle Eastern children?
>>36676569
Do you not?
>tfw I'm Middle Eastern
>mfw the enemy is me

>how do you train to do x situps in two minutes?
how fucking stupid are you??
1. set timer to 2 minutes
2. do as many situps as possible
3. see where you are and continue to do it everyday
you are too stupid to make it thru ocs

First step at becoming an officer, USE YOUR FUCKING RESOURCES. Is it too hard for you to google a routine based around your goals? If so you should probably not try for an occupation that puts other people's lives in your hands. I know the British Army is full of a bunch of dipshits but I don't think you quite have what it takes

Why is Mosley on the bomber over Dresden? That's nothing short of fucking retarded, at least put a smug faced Bomber fukken Harris.
>>36676198
There is an official Army app
>>36676781
>use internet to find routines
>come on Micronesian furniture trading website to discuss with like-minded people
>cucklord thinks it's Yahoo answers and provides zero actual help
Thanks for the continued lack of help

Don't sweat it, the military is a joke. You'll probably be the most in shape, shredded dude during basic, everyone else will be highschool aged, also your occasional old dude who failed at life. Almost all of them will struggle to 20+ pushups, and if they complain, your staff will get in serious shit, cause thats the new Army.
