Hmm... but running long distance seem to work for me... When I start training/running long distance, 2.4 become quite easy, as far as I can remember. Hard to imagine one who can run 5km(non-stop) but fail 2.4km. Actually if u just jog at a moderate fast pace WITHOUT slowing/stopping can easily pass 2.4 ... My biggest problem for IPPT has always been my pull-ups though...

Pull ups for me used to be a problem but I found that doing a lot of specific exercises for my back muscles and biceps really helped. So I usually go to the gym and do 3 types of exercises for the back (advice from a fitness freak friend ). The 3 exercises are:
1. lat pull down machine which is very effective as it simulates the actual chin-up motion.
2. seated pulls, where I sit in front of a machine and pull the weights to my stomach in a horizontal motion.
3. bend over while standing up (remember to keep back straight and motionless!) and raise a barbell from the floor to my stomach.
Pretty dramatic results. I went from 4 chins to 10 within 4 weeks!
For me, my weakest station is the broad jump. I still can't jump beyond 212 or thereabouts, which is the passing point. Any pointers?

For chin-ups...weights do help...BUT in a ifght way, right form n right times...i can barely do a chin-up...now i can do 12...
Try doin 3 exercise with 2 sets, 8 reps (Not too light) for biceps, triceps and forearms...
Practice with chin-ups machines...those with weight to support your bodyweight...do 4 sets of 12 reps fro 50lbs till u need no support at all...Very effective...
For running...practice makes perfect...~
Regular jog is the best...
Juz some advices from a kid~
Does doing push-ups help with chin up training?
definitely... but still need to go and pull to confirm how many u can achieve. :bsmilie:
i thought i could do 8 but when i went to pull only ended up with 6. haha... old liao.
me too...pull ups has always been a problem...sigh...
