To stress test my self I've been ITing myself twice a day for about an hour. Doing enough to get a REALLY good sweat going.
Right now I'm jogging a two mile track around the neighborhood. I don't think it takes me 20 min to do it thought. I may need to increase the distance.. but I am doing it every day.
This may be a dumb question, but what happens if they tell you do 40 push ups and you can only do 30.. or they tell you to hold something for a minute and you can't do it... you fatigue out. Do they really get on you hard for stuff like that? I just don't wanna go there and be the guy that can't do everything they tell you when everyone else can.

Oh yeah... like air chairs (which I LOVE) which is basically like a sustained squat. Our RDCs would make us hold it for 90 seconds. A lot of people fatigue out, but they always made us start over. One time we got in trouble and our RDCs made us hold our arms out with our trainee guides for a couple minutes. Sometimes they would just drop us in the pushup position and just leave us there.
No, not really. They know people get tired. Bootcamp is a mind game. You **** up sometimes. Whats the worst that can happen? Getting dropped or getting yelled at. If you get tired while they drop you, once again, whats the worst that can happen? Get dropped and yelled at some more?
Believe it or not, your RDCs wanna see you succeed. They won't let you fall behind unless they see you're not really trying. I promise you, you won't be in a situation where everyone can succeed physically while you can't. Even the strongest people have a breaking point. Trust me, all you will hurt together lol
The people that don't succeed physically are the ones that quit during the sustained runs, or cheat during in-house PT when your RDC has their back turned.
Don't overthink it. I did a butt ton of research on bootcamp before I went. I got there and was like ... "oh... so... THIS is it?!" Super easy!
