I noticed somebody recently posted their PRMC results
HERE and he just scrapes in with the running time and doesn't achieve huge amounts of push-ups and press-ups and he passed.
That was me!*text deleted*
I will just add theres a lot more to the PRMC to just the result of your gym test ie determination test,high obstacle,swim test,attitude etc.If im honest I think recently too much focus has been put on the fitness side of the PRMC and not enough on the mental side of the course on the forum
Youve got to get a good Pull up score because if you dont get the 3 good pull ups at least then they wont let you on the high obstacle course-instant fail I think,Thers now good being able to be a racing snake with high score on abs and press ups when you can only struggle to do 3 pull ups-you WILL be tired after the 3 mile,bleep test,press ups and situps done BEFORE the pull ups,plus the pull upsd are full stretch with a pause and hang before each one at the timings given by the PTI-not just banging them out quickly,if you havent trained like this then you might not get through.On that high obstacle course youve got to show confidence at height (walking/jog along some scaffolding boards with no safety net to catch you about 30ft up in the air)Loads of people were getting sent back to do this over and over again to show confidence to the instructors.
Same with in deternation test.On this you will really be hanging out and even the fittest will be struggling,if you quit then that doesnt look good at all-so this is a true test of how much you want it.
I think a lot of people have gone down to PRMC thinking about the scores you need to pass without the other bits such as the high obstacle course etc you need do-fail on one of there then youre out anyway regardless fit you are.You will be tired due to lack of sleep,running everywhere,marking time,listening out for orders-this all drains you constantly so train accordlingly.When I was down there there were fitter people than me (ran quicker times etc) but failed because they wrapped on the determination test or couldnt do enough good pull ups.
I guess what im trying to say is you can train nearly anyone to the fitness for PRMC put you cant train someone to not have a fear of heights or determination when it gets tough-you either have that or you dont.
Yes I think I did scrape through with my scores but doing all the other parts of the course correctly and not drawing attention to myself with silly behavoiur or not listening to orders and getting punishmernts from the instructors probably helped me through
Just my 2 pence
