Test Your Physical Fitness With This PFT Benchmark Workout

Thanks to Candidate X who graduated in the summer of 2016 for this benchmark PFT workout.

“There was a MARSOC Captain I met after graduating OCS and he took my OSS through, what he called, a good Benchmark PFT. I would have to agree. It’s very simple, but the cumulative loading effect is what makes this difficult.”

Benchmark PFT

1. 5 pull-ups (kip when you can no longer do a correct USMC pull-up)
2. 10 push-ups
3. 15 air squats
4. You continue the circuit for 20 minutes, with no rest periods.

The MARSOC Captain got 26 complete circuits for a benchmark. Personally, I got 21.
