Preblast: The Brave – US Army Ranger Physical Fitness Test

Have big goals for 2015? Let me guess…. workout more, run faster, get stronger? Start your year off right with our first US Army Ranger Physical Fitness Test of 2015. We plan on running the test every 6 – 8 weeks so the PAX can measure their improvement throughout the year. The goal is to get a solid a base line tomorrow at The Brave and use the result as a measuring stick on your improvement as we head toward the Spring Mud Run and the BRR.

The Ranger PT test consists of the following:

– 2 minutes – max pushups

– 2 minutes – max situps with someone holding your ankles

– Max Pull-ups

– Timed 5 Mile Run.

We will launch at 0515 at the The Vine Restaurant in Ballantyne, come warmed up. We will mosey down to the workout trail for the push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups, then start our run near the fitness trail. See the route map above, we will make two laps.

See you in the Gloom.

Those are great goals and I think the standards to “pass” the test in the military. The important thing for the PAX is to get a baseline and improve on your baseline numbers throughout the year.

After Swift and Devil’s Turn, my legs should be in good shape for another five miles. At least my upper body is well rested. See you in the gloom with an FNG I’ve been working on.

Voodoo shows no mercy on his FNG’s.
