Im a sophmore, 15, and turning 16 in june a month and plan on doing DEP my senior year in highschool for the Marine Corp. today i took my first crack at the Marines IST. I didn't do awful, but i know i can get much better in time and repition.
I play on my highschool football team, and start as an offensive and defensive tackle on the line. So its given im a pretty big guy. 6'3 220 pounds. On my first try my results were:
1.5 mile run: 12:40
Crunches- 49 in 2 minutes (not hard to do, but i havent done them frequently for awhile)
Pull ups- 4, starting with arms all the way extended. i used over hand grip.
How did some of you do on your first try?
Is this an okay start?
How can i significantly increase my amount of pull ups? (most troubled area)
I can handle running, i just need to do it more often. I only do it about 2 or 3 times a week now, so i will just run more frequently to increase my stamina and speed.
Any information and opinions are appreciated. Thanks!
