Fitness people, in order to graduate Marine Corp boot camp, one have to do the minimum on the physical........


fitness test which is 3 pullups, 80 crunches in two minutes, and run 3 miles in around 24 minutes. i could do more than 2 pullups! if i couldnt do 3 i couldnt graduate Marine boot camp. a week before graduation was the final fitness test. my drill instructors gave me a choice on what event to do first. i figured trying to do the 3 pullups first would be my best bet, but they advised me to run the 3 miles first. i thought they wanted me to fail!!! i thought i would have been to tired after the run to do the 3 pullups. i took their advice, did the run first, and right afterwards i done 7 pullups! please fitness people explain this phenomenom to me! how could that be? lol

Interesting...the running doesn't drain your upper arm strength sooo... Perhaps running increases blood flow and oxygen to your muscles, enabling your arm muscles to perform better? Just a guess...

Running will not affect the muscles you use to do a pull up, congrats on passing...... im in the army so I know the physical conditioning it takes to be in the military. :)
