I am starting to train to day for my entry. And was hoping I could get some in sight as to my physical ability's.
I am a 6'3, 215lbs 21 year old male.
I am pretty athletic. But I worry I may be the wrong type of athlete. I have a black belt in TKD, (and about 5.5 years total. Ages 15-20) I was in shotokan for 4 years (about ages 4-8) I played a year of Junior high, and 1 year of high school basketball, and played football ever day weather allowed in school.
(no pads, full tackle)
But I have allways been more of a finesse based nimble athlete. IE, scat back, quick slashing PG, and TKD is based on explosive movements, not long gruelling, grind it out stuff.
Push ups, and sit ups are no issue. I've read up on the grip test and am not worried about that either.
The 2.4K run has be a bit worried though. I've ran some 40 yard dash, and was fairly good. But I've never done any thing timed for 2.4K. Not nearly that long.
I'm planing on going back to me 205 fighting weight. And that won't be a problem for me. I have great metabolism. But I'm built more for the lower body speed, and bursts of power.
I've been working general labour jobs since i graduated HS, in machine shops. Hauling pipes, move heavy stuff etc... So my upper body should be fine.
I'm going out running today. And I'll see how I perform. But any one go through some thing like this?
My training regiment will contain 50 push ups, 50 sit ups, running(I'll try 2.5 and go from there), and TKD for my aerobic fitness. I'll do it daily, with Saturday and sunday being days off from push ups and sit ups, and Monday and Tuesday (next) off from running. I'll do that for a week, to a week and a half then use the on line form to join.
If some one can add on stuff to help, that'd be great.
I could also use dietary help. And will being heavily double jointed/loose jointed help or hurt me? I have loose jointed shoulders, right wrist, hips, and double jointed fingers and elbows. I've learned to work with it in my life. I don't suffer in any way from them, but I've never been through PT/BT.
