Phew!
Thanks for replies, guys.

Nice one Peds!

Don't worry. I have a heart murmer and it is nothing to worry about mate. It is caused by, basically, bad timing of the SV node on your right atrium which causes your cardiac muscles to contract slightley out of time. I was found to have one the day I was born and I am fit as f@#k!

Put it this way ...

Walked into that one!

I'm up for getting a bit of shit too! Fire away..

Matrix stop hogging all the shit kid!

As somebody has already pointed out, I think, everyone has different needs in training. I personally, since failing a POC, have hit the weights hard in order to bulk up a bit after finding my self the lightest in the group- not much fun in the fireman's carry!!

I just try and maintain the press-ups ...

Well done lads!!

A press up is started on position 1 (on pic above), fully extend arms to position 2- 1 press-up and then back to position 1 to begin your second press-up with only your hands and toes to be touching the floor at any point in a set.

Yes you do get paid on the 32 weeks.

Got another Q for you guys, I have quite low arched feet and so use arch supports in shoes would this affect my application/medical at all?

You can mate, I've got shin splints and at my medical they sugested going to get orthotics which i am doin this week, which they said i'll be able to wear ...

Fair point and I see where your coming from but from my own personal experience I just wasn't progressing at all although I am not training for selection at the moment but just looking to add mass for Rugby. Weights are increasing nicely on the pulldown machine - it just wasn't happening on the bar ...

Dayans- good luck with it all anyway mate!

Humph- I would avoid using the machine for your pull-ups. I too was terrible at them when I first started training but you improve faster by doing them properly with no assisted weight. Even if you can only knock a couple of proper pull-ups out when you ...

If it's sorted then it shouldn't affect your application!?

Dayains- Alrite mate I'm from your end of the pool in Waterloo/Crosby. I took part in a POC about a month ago so if you have any questions PM me.

Letsrole- The RM Captain who took me for my pre-POC brief ended up actually taking the course ( I dont know if this is normal) and I didnt call him sir in the interview but called him sir/staff in the course. I have to go back in a couple of weeks to have a chat with him about my future and I shall ...

Some places by ours dont even sell the scum, neither do my friends!!!


On the list of hardest special forces- surely the RM shouldn't be too far behind the SBS??
