Simply put my goal is to get a 500 on my next YPFT. 500 being a perfect score. I hover around 350 now, and have had a 403 (if I remember correctly) before. To get a 500, I need to do 30 pullups, 60 pushups, and 100 sit ups. Each in under two minutes. There is also a long jump (stationary) and a run but I'm not sure what I need for a perfect score in those events.
My scores tend to fluctuate a bit, but I get about 45 push ups (have gotten 60 before), 90 sit ups (have gotten 100), a max of 24 pullups and an average of about 20, about 95 (inches I think) on my jump, and around 55 seconds on my run. I think a perfect score for the run is 45 seconds, and its either a 300m or 500m run. We don't do a constant run though. We go back and forth between two points, so we have to stop and start again constantly.
I really want get a perfect score since this will be my last year in the MCJROTC program, and as you can see I'm not too far off from accomplishing it. The thing is I don't know how to get there. Whenever I have to come up with my own workouts, I either make it too easy or too difficult. It seems I can't find a good balance.
All I have is two 20lb dumb bells, and a pull up bar, so I have to compensate with body-weight exercises. So, does anyone have any ideas on a routine I can do with what I have on hand? I tend to try to tax myself with overhead presses, hammer curls, regular curls, pull ups, and push ups. But I have no longer how many reps or sets I should be doing. Or what I should increase the reps or sets by each workout.
