Great video, I’ll just update as someone who graduated from PLC Seniors this summer. There was only 1 PFT in our 6 week course at the beginning with a 235 minimum to remain in the program. Most of the difficulty came with overall fatigue and the forge, so if you can train rucking or walking under load that’d be my recommendation. We didn’t have many PT sessions and they weren’t very difficult, so your advice on fartleks didn’t apply to our class at least. Our class didn’t do the fartlek course outside of Montford point, but being good at running and pull-ups is still a great idea. If you don’t lose your cool or get injured OCS will be a good experience.
Hey man randomly came across your videos. Pretty good gouge. I’m attempting to inter service transfer and attend in May. Curious if you’re familiar with mountain tactical OCS prep programs and your opinion?
upper body work out; I did hand stand push ups against a wall; many moons ago; I went OCS PLC (2 : 6 week Course) 83 and 84; Commission in 85; I went to Enlisted Boot Camp in 81;
30yr Marine here. One of the most helpful things to do is to use the cable pull down machine to get your reps up. Too many of my Marines would be in the weight room doing the normal 8-12 reps and wondered why they couldn’t make 20 (the max score previously). Do a heavy workout once a week with reps under 10. Then the next workout get your reps up to 15-20. I always followed the Push, Pull, Leg day routine, 4th day rest, repeat. So you’re doing each body part twice a week. It worked for me and I did 20 pull-ups my last PFT at 53yrs old. You can do it!
strengthen your calves and legs. Lose some body weight. Ultimately shin splints just happen from a sudden shock on your legs when running. Make sure you follow the 10% rule as well per week.
Fuckin beast bro, I needa get on this shit. That’s some crazy determination and dedication you got brother.

Would love to hear about your experience in the fleet post TBS
Appreciate the advice, Josh. Can you make a video outlining your weightlifting routine?
Sure, I can.
@@MrJoshHodge Great video, can you explain the sleep schedule at OCS?
Such a helpful video!! Thanks Joshua
You’re welcome. Thank you for commenting

Not familiar. I have no advice to give on that, unfortunately.
Great video! Looking to head to OCS this fall. How often were you doing your murph-type workouts?
Every day at the beginning 2 months, then 3 times a week after that
Great video! Heading to plc in a month. Trying to get ready for all the running.
Good luck my friend

You can do it!
@@johnwalsh7399very insightful, thank you!
How do you avoid shin splints?
strengthen your calves and legs. Lose some body weight. Ultimately shin splints just happen from a sudden shock on your legs when running. Make sure you follow the 10% rule as well per week.
Was this in addition to any other exercise routine?
Like I mentioned in the video. I did many things. Weightlifting, running, Murphs, etc
