Should I focus on specificity or overall

Post by Midrare »

Rangers,

I have been directing my focus on being overall more durable, stronger, faster and smarter. My training is catering to a few goals I have at the moment which I feel will help my path to become a Ranger. Targeting my focus to things I feel will expand my potential to perform Ranger tasks.

These goals I feel will keep my fitness extremely well rounded without dipping too far to one extreme. With an improvement in my APFT from the training.

APFT goal:
PU: 80
SU: 90
2 Mile: 10:30
Chin Ups: 30

Endurance goals:
5 Mile: 29:58
Marathon: 02:59:58
12 Mile Ruck: 01:59:58
600 4-count flutter kicks without resting

Strength goals:
Paused squat: 455 lb
Deadlift: 535 lb
Strict Standing Overhead press: 205lbs
10x 25 foot rope climbs without rest (No legs)

When I think of things a “PT Stud” would do this is my mental image.

Would this be a well rounded goal or should I rethink them.
