AFPT 2: Electric Morgaloo

THE SCENE:
We did this on Friday.  I’m writing this on Monday.  It was I don’t remember degrees.

THA-THANG:
It has been 6 months since our last Army Physical Fitness Test, so time to do it again to gauge our 1stF Acceleration.

Event 1:  Push-Ups, AMRAP 2 minutes.  (See Soybean’s backblast from April’s initial APFT for the detailed explanation/instructions that were read to the PAX for all 3 events.)

Event 2:  Sit-Ups, AMRAP 2 minutes.

Event 3:  2-Mile Run.

MARY:
This was a great opportunity for me to finally break out that awesome new F3 Workout Deck, so of course I forgot and left it at home.  It wouldn’t have been used anyway; the early finishers did what HIMs do and went back to run the last part again with the Six.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
6 PAX:  Choker (QIC), Granola, Orange Julius, Sleep Number, Wall Builder, Woodpecker

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
To be honest, I was not terribly excited to Q the APFT this time around for a couple of reasons.  First, because it requires you to clipboard-Q, which is very un-F3.  Second, because it is not much of a workout for the PAX.  Running is good, but 2 minutes of pushups and situps is not terribly taxing when you are used to a regular F3 workout.

However, I was excited to see the results.  Six months of regular F3 workouts had to have a positive impact on everyone’s fitness.  Improvement doesn’t happen overnight.  It happens in small, incremental steps over a period of time. That is why taking the DRP is so important.  I really appreciate the guys who post regularly.  If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be doing it either.  By taking that DRP, you’re not just Accelerating yourself – you’re motivating your brothers to Accelerate with you.

Keep doing it.

MOLESKIN:
5 of today’s PAX also took the initial APFT in April; their scores went up by an average of 22 points.

T-Claps to Woodpecker, who improved by an impressive 52 points!
