Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it. One thing that's helping my mental health is to remember just how much progress I made with TB in such a short amount of time. It gives me the confidence to know I'll be able to get back to where I was relatively soon after.

Update: Passed PFT
Situps: 44
300M: 47s
Pushups: 30
1.5mi: 11:58

* My pushups have been dropping steadily from around 35-37 to barely getting 30 from January to June.

Scored above the minimum but still not where I need to be to pass the official test. It's been a long time since I updated this log. Had to work through several injuries here and there and was walking 15-20k steps a day for work. Now trying to refocus on the home stretch.

My recovery consisted of a ton of PT, a ton of not doing PT, and eventually the following:

Program:
Fighter + Black

Exercise Cluster:
Low Bar Squat (Never went above 95lbs) or Bulgarian Split Squats
Bench
Pullups (twice a week)
Romanian Deadlifts (once a week)
1-Sided KB Carry

Pushups
Pushups (twice a week)
Max Pushups (once a week)

Core
Minimal Core Work

Black
Fast 5 (3 miles --> 2 miles)
600M Repeats --> eventually Oxygen Debt 101
LSS 30minutes+

Mock PFT (every other week, since April)
