I'm slacking physically, I can reach the minimums to get in, but I feel like I won't be able to keep up my strength while in basic training, so I want to exceed the minimum scores by a fair margin. I'm sure I will be ready by the time I'm out of the delayed entry program - this is so I can reach the minimum age requirement for my 18x contract - and ship out.

Good luck with your 18X future. Seems like you've been persistent and overcome some administrative obstacles. That's a good thing.
Now get seriously persistent with PT. Minimums for joining the Army (and making it through Basic Training) won't suffice for the 18X Selection & Assessment program. Your
minimum goal is to max all PT test events for the youngest age group... on your worst day. And become a long distance running/rucking machine. Not kidding about this. If you view yourself as "slacking physically", you'd best grab that bull by the horns right now... and get in hard shape. Before you get to Basic.
No physical tests encountered in Basic Training should seriously challenge you. If they do, you're unlikely to make the cut for SF. Army Basic Training is relatively easy. The SF accessions process is not.
