  push you harder? Then why does it matter to prepare for NS beforehand?

  I think more important is mentally, you are fit. That means, you are mentally prepared to go to NS, and accept the fact that it is going to be a whole different world altogether. Be prepared to wake up DAMN EARLY every day, that you will be scolded and screamed at and punished by your sergeants. That u will feel alone and helpless at times, but do remember that there are thousands of people going through the same thing with you all the time.
  
  If mentally u are not prepared, then I guess its useless even if you are fitter than fit.

  i've always had the impression that push ups, or doing more push ups or doing different styles of push ups does not necessarily translate to more chin ups.
  
  Which can be true because these two exercises and ulitising different sets of muscles.
  
  So my advice on chin ups is... do more chin ups! assisted or otherwise. Works for me =)
  
  BMT is a time to test your limits.. not only physical but mental and psychological limits... so that's why the instructors want more and more out of you. The thing is to have a positive mind set that it's all for your own good. Being fitter ultimately helps you... being more disciplined helps you in many ways too. Sometimes when they push you hard, you might want to remind yourself of a certain goal you have for NS... like getting into Command School or something.. that usually helps.
  
  cheers!

  open your arms wide while doing push up. This will train your triceps more which is a more important muscle in pull up

  make sure you know your stuff before giving advice.
  
  Contrary to popular belief, pullups is NOT all arm strength.Pullups workout out the lats, forearms and biceps go figure..
  
  Secondly, triceps are not an important muscle in pullup.It may be a stabilising muscle but not one of the primary muscles worked.

  If you can do 10 rite, you'll do 2 infront of them. so when they push you, next time you do 3.
