Glad to hear that there are others out there doing more "intelligent" PT these days. I personally have some major back problems. I have to be very specific about how I do PT to keep me from getting hurt and also to keep me able to max the PT test and still bring some smoke to the young studs. I just took the APFT last Monday, results as follows: 80 PU/ 87 SU/ run time 13:03 - total score = 323 extended scale. Not too bad for 40. I stay away from
some of the Crossfit exercises because they are too rough on my back. I wish I had been doing that stuff since I came in the Army in 1986. My back would most likely be in much better shape at this point. The most important thing I can tell anyone out there is to stretch, stretch, stretch, and then stretch some more!! That is the single most effective thing for me to keep the pain level down and the ability level up. Even you young guys take heed. It will enhance performance, and reduce injuries. It is as important as the actual type of workouts you do.
PBF, I know money is tight in SWCS but they got kettle bells, medicine balls, and step platforms down in Key West somehow. Might have a shot at it yourself. Call the XO down there, MAJ Russo. He got all the stuff a year ago.
