[QUOTE="97desertCobra, post: 11205221, member: 53488"] Obviously the best plan is being preppared well in advance but sometimes there are small tricks of the trade that can help. I have consistently maxed out the PT test for 8 years now and I work out about 15 hours per week but there are still some things you can do as extra prep to help squeeze out just a few more reps or run a couple seconds faster. Unfortunately alot of the most beneficial stuff is not authorized, like breathe right strips or compression socks, shorts and sleeves etc. So learning how to use momentum from your elbows to assist in sit ups resulting in less fatique in the hip flexors and abs can translate to a faster run so on and so on. All the other crap like shaving the legs is pointless. Provides lulz for the rest of us but beyond that pointless. Problems for people that don't work up to performing rigorous activity for long periods of time with it on. Most people that I know that have accrued back injuries from the IBA were during deployment. Considering that they previously never trained with it on save for a couple field exercises and range time. Then they get deployed, throw on the IBA and start doing foot patrols every day for a year. That will **** you up. I've been doing it for 6 years now. Along with weekly ruck marches. It is what it is, train as you fight. And thanks to all the working out in IBA from running, pull ups, push ups etc I don't feel boged down by the weight and I don't get sore or tired from wearing it. I ran a half marathon with it on a couple years ago and I would like to work up to a full, although I don't see that being realistic. I think 20 miles will be the max I do with the IBA. But I started really small, just a couple calistenics and a slow 1 mile jog and then gradually progressed to where I am now. Is it bad for me? Probably in the long run. However I have a job to do and prepare for, so my body will have to take a little punishment if I'm going to be in the best possible "combat" shape until I retire, or change my MOS and get out of a line company.
