Military fitness maintenance

GST is my top health-fitness priority after identifying mobility/joint weakness following painful SI joint sprain while serving in Korea over the spring. Injury has healed after rest/physical therapy.  I started Fundamentals this week. Plan on progressing through Foundations before I start any additional training.

I have an army physical fitness test APFT(pushups, situps, 2mile run) in September. How do you recommend maintaining strength in those exercises while beginning GST? I'm willing to sacrifice my APFT score to ensure I conduct GST appropriately, but I would love to maximize my test results.

Hi Mark, personally speaking, in order to pass the army test you need a specific planning that must be planned accordingly with your work, nutrition, lifestyle, current training, training availability,  recovery etc. My suggestion is finding first your priority that is GST vs army test and, if the priority is the army test, search for a trainer specialized in programming and periodization because this field has so much complexity that cannot be discussed in a forum..
