Pull ups......
-
I am a zero figther and i like to know what will happened if after5 months of Bmt still cannot clear 6 times?
-
recourse bmt
-
sadly but this is the truth... but you still got 4 more months to POP so meanwhile train hard...Originally posted by saintboy:recourse bmt
-
not necessarily. if u can show improvements, u may be given a conditional pass - meaning u will pass bmt, but within a stipulated time after that you have to pass ur ippt, else its recourse for u
-
Thats my worry also....what if I cannot pass the fitness test after BMT.....however is it really possible to fail after 5 months (Plus Ptp) of rigorous training....Any one here has heard of 'live' example before?
-
Can one lah, have faith dude. When i went in also like single integer one, train, train, train liao become double digit.
-
keep training... work harder

i haf witnessed extreme cases: one person who was a zero fighter in the beginning and remained one after PTP and BMT, another person who was a zero fighter at the start of BMT, and managed 9 at the end of it.Originally posted by BMEngineer:Thats my worry also....what if I cannot pass the fitness test after BMT.....however is it really possible to fail after 5 months (Plus Ptp) of rigorous training....Any one here has heard of 'live' example before?

i was a zero fighter too
once you break the duck, it'll be easier.
try changing your grip. it did miracles for me -
No BMT recourse if you fail IPPT. You'll clear it in your new unit.
HTH. -
Personal experience to share. I was a zero fighter when i went in. Then i decided to buy a dumbell and even brought it over to tekong to train using it when its lights off.Originally posted by ryangian:I am a zero figther and i like to know what will happened if after5 months of Bmt still cannot clear 6 times?
Within 2 weeks, i could do 6-8 pull ups. The benefit of using dumbell to train is that it helps u to target those muscle areas that are needed to do pull-up (under grasp), unlike push-ups which are good for building chest, not so much the arms. -
but o cos the person will haf to noe how to use the dumbbells to train those muscles, and o cos wich muscles to train to improve chin ups.Originally posted by cooleo:Personal experience to share.

nothing beats doing the real thing - get on the bar and train on it. even assisted chin ups or flex arm hangs help too. -

during my PTP n BMT days our section will do 3 set of chin up..
n do 10 set of 20 push up before we slp..
we even agree to sacrifice our free time to pace those slow runner..ive even one section mate who suppose to go disrupt after getting IPPT gold staying for a nite n pace those slow runner in 2.4 in the morning.. -
So die die must pass one lah...cannot kena downgrade 1 izzit

yes indeed. and if all of u can help each other and train together its more motivating and makes trg more bearable too, and in my opinion, there is a higher chance to succeed.Originally posted by NathanG5:n u need your section mate help..help each others..

y downgrade? just becos u cant do chin up?Originally posted by ryangian:So die die must pass one lah...cannot kena downgrade 1 izzit
u can run, u can jump..u are a healthy human being..
if u give up now..wat make u think u wont give up in other things in later life..seriously i can tell u that IPPT is the easiest obstacle to complete in Army..
i was a zero fighter when in ptp also...i never gave up...its all will power..
everybody have the strength to pull themselve up at least once..but they didnt do it in the end becos the mind gave up before they even try..its all in the mind..
once u can do 1...2 will start to come..slowly it will increase...
never never give up on this small little thing... -
no. nobody gets a downgrade simply cos he cant do chinups.Originally posted by ryangian:So die die must pass one lah...cannot kena downgrade 1 izzit -
k then... so its gonna be a mind over body thing
Thanks..... -
Sure can pass one, trust me. Right now u may feel the training damn siong, arm damn weak. But, after few weeks when body is used to the training, you feel that you'd start to gain your strength pretty fast.
At my time, lotsa 0-fighters end up doing 8-10. When i first went in, i could do 4 only, then drop to 0, then raise to 11 when i pass out.
Sad thing is i could do only 4 now, think my next in-camp sure die liao
-
try watching rocky 4...get that kick feeling and start pulling now!
-
its also consistent and regular hard work and effort. visualise the vision of being able to pass effortlessly and motivate urself towards tt goal!Originally posted by ryangian:k then... so its gonna be a mind over body thing
