Don’t get the point of this? What’s wrong with the regular pushups?

Maybe after 24 years of them and seven shoulder surgeries? Same with sit ups. Several issues at both L &C spine vertebrae.

Not saying my disabilities are apft related as other combat and training injuries occurred. But it all adds up.

We can do better. In IET we loose maybe 20% simply due to too much too fast. We cannot force the nation’s youths to do PT instead of video.

All branches suffer these same losses. It costs. Many recruits wind up with VA rated disability....
