[QUOTE="boduke0220, post: 10650674, member: 82471"] PCP ( physical conditioning platoon) is the last place you want to be at USMC Bootcamp. If ya really want to prepare i reccomend going ahead and working on aceing the PFT ( 18 minute 3 mile, 100 crunches in 2 mins, 20 pullups) which is what Im trying to do. Whatever you do dont do the bare minimum, boot camp would suck so bad. Good Luck and if ya need any advice dont be afraid to PM me. As for the waiver, yea you can DEP in and get your ship date over weight but it would be in your best interest to lose it lol which im sure the recruiter would help ya with ;) As for a workout routine. Here are a few i started out with just to get my overall endurance up before i tackled the harder stuff. 5 Rounds of: 50 Jumping Jacks 50 Mountain climbers 3 Rounds of: Run 100m 20 pushups 5 burpee's 15 clap push ups 5 burpess 10 chest slap push ups 5 burpees 5 finger tip push ups 5 Rounds of 20 pull ups 30 pushups 40 situps 50 squats <---I always divided all this in 1/2 because 50 squats and 20 pulls is crazy. i could prob do it now though. Do 1 of those per M/W/F Also start running a Mile (m/w/f), even if ya cant run the full mile, walk some, just make sure ya get a Mile in and work on Pushing yourself MENTALLY, thats all running is, when you feel your legs burning tell your mind to make them burn more and like the burning, ask yourself if thats all you got etc count how many times you have to stop so next week try to run through one of the places you stopped untill you run the full mile..then do 1.5 etc Push ups will also help with the pullups ( you can also do chinups, which are easier to me) I always liked doing pyramid Pushup sets like 5,10,15,20,15,10,5. Check out the Armstrong or recon ron pull up program for Pullups. i did the Armstrong and can do about 25 now. Crunches, just do crunches lol. i always did 200 every day ( you might wanna start out at 100 every other day) just do as many as ya can like 24..then rest..do 20 more..untill you get to 100. if thats easy just grab some weight or do more than 100. Mach1usmc reccomended me a good routine that helped me as well. so check that out in my PT advice thread. [/QUOTE]
