Marc:

I would agree with Razor.

Being proficient at the APFT tasks, rope climbing, pull-ups, short to medium distance runs, and above all rucking cross-country are much more important to your overall potential success at SFAS than marathons, squats, or exotic exercises.

While some events have complementary lifts or exercises, there is no substitute for doing the actual events to standard, as many as you can, as fast as you can, to just short of failure.

There will be no cheerleaders or standards given at SFAS. You will hear, "Do the best that you can" a lot.

Good luck.
