I got them from http://www.usedgymequipment.com/dumbbells.htm to help prepare for Army basic training and eventually SF.
I heard it was 40 lbs ? and the guy I was talking to was current Army and not in SF and he said SF probably carries much more than weight, rucking. |
I would follow the instructions in the SWCS PT Prep handbook that your recruiter should have given you and that we reference here elsewhere.
Are you actually on a contract?
Have you spoken to a recruiter?
You are getting way ahead of yourself.
