Do you know what it takes to excel in the new 2018 military fitness test and how it applies to General Physical Preparedness (GPP) training? Join me, Simon Devere, as I share my personal experiences with military training, encounters with Navy Seals, and my journey with the pack test for a summer job in Montana. As we explore the foundation of power training and the importance of basic strength movements, we'll touch on John F Kennedy's views on physical fitness and how a lack of physical health can be a threat to national security.
We'll also dig into the pros and cons of the new military fitness test, focusing on power and agility, and discuss the best ways to build a foundation in power training for a top score. Learn why kettlebell training is the best for building power and why we should never be too advanced for the basics. Discover alternative exercises to the deadlift, such as broad jumps, sprints, and hand release pushups, and how to safely scale pushups for different levels of strength.
Together, let's use both the mind and body to reach peak performance when training for the military fitness test. So, join our conversation and share your experiences and insights to help us all reach our goals.
