Ayup mate, what you training for?

I'm from the mighty Hednesford mate so do a lot of training up Cannock Chase.

Cheers Artist, will bare all that in mind.

LMFAO mate that's class, those kung-fu auditions are unbelievable!!!

Uncle Sam,

No mate won't be re-applying as an officer, I was told I did not have the attributes they were looking for and was recommended not to try again (bit of a wounder). However I'm going to be applying to join as a recruit and to be honest I'm really b****y looking forward to it.

Yes mate ...

Uncle Sam,

Congratulations on passing your POC, I failed my AIB yesterday so if you've got any questions mate I'll do my best to provide some advice.

All the best mate, you guys are an inspiration.

Again, - welcome to the forum, I'm sure your advice will be highly sought after.

Yep, good idea lads, - should help relax us a little too. Let's just keep each other posted on what times we're going to be arriving etc.

My last session is going to be Thursday, nothing too strenuous though on any day this week for me.

Looking forward to it now too fellas, - all the best with ...

Good stuff mate, it should be a fun couple of days

I'm planning on arriving on the Sunday sometime between 3-6pm hopefully in time for some dinner. I have not checked the train times yet though so don't know what time exactly.

What about you mate?

Birmingham AFCO for me mate. Going to purchase a pair of boots tomorrow from somewhere in Burton-upon-trent, I've been told to get a second-hand pair as they will be better worn in. Don't know how true that is?

I don't suffer too bad with my shins to be honest, what have you been doing instead then ...

Yep cheers lads. PA Greenwell, did you pass POC, I can't remember mate?

Hardy what careers office have you gone through? Also are you in your boots yet mate?

Yeah mine's very similar really, minus the bag work as I'm useless at it. I do between 6-8 mile runs depending on how I feel.

Yeah it seems like a lot of sessions but they are varied so it compensates really.

Yeah mate it's a quality workout, the last set of pull-ups seem to take forever lol.

Ah right, so how many sessions you do in total, including cardio? At the minute I manage 3 runs a week, 3 weight/bodyweight sessions, 1/2 hill sprint sessions, don't think I could manage much more

Good stuff, no not yet mate only recieved confirmation this morning. I've got my medical and pre-poc brief on the same day on 8th May.

How did your brief go mate, what did it consist of?

You definately seem on the right lines mate. When you do your morning sessions in the gym mate, what sort of rep ranges are you hitting? I think it might be worth combining you weight sessions and bodywork, and maybe do a few workouts like:

300 Workout
25 pull-ups
50 deadlifts (50kg)
50 push-ups
50 ...
