Stamina little strength

[daveitfc]

hi im going for my medical tommorrow in fact and currently i can do 60 sit-ups 45 press-ups and bout 5 pull-ups when i say this i mean proper dead hang pull-ups but i can run 3 miles in 18 and a half mins.
i have immense stamina and great mental strength but lack in physical strength, will this matter? what do they which do they look for more?
its not because i havent tried its because im just built for running and swimming!

could someone please tell me whether this should be a worry?
experiences and examples would be good thanx again.

I don't think they test your phsysical strength and endurance at the medical test, do they? I thought the medical was just a doc checking over you to make sure your heart, weight/height, bloodpressure, eyesight etc are ok.

The best way to increase your situps and pushups, i think, is to do as many as you can in 1 min (2 for situps), every mornin or before you go to bed.

This site has an excellent pullup program

I find doing 3 sets of pushups in the morning a bit too much, so I just do one max effort pushup set in the morning, then i do the pullup workout in the evening. You can do the max situp set in the morning or the evening. Good Luck!!
