Thread 512051003

President Trump has reinstated the Presidential Fitness test, and the New York Times published an article saying a lot of people's painful memories are being revived by this policy. A lot of people sharing their stories of failing to do a pull up and being embarrassed by the entire class.

What is /pol/'s experience with the Presidential Fitness test? Are you in favor or against bringing back the Presidential Fitness test?

>>512051003 (OP)
what you need is a fitness test for presidents. if he can't do 12 pullups, he has to vacate the chair
inb4 idiocracy: still better than the geronto-pedo-cracy you have today

>>512051003 (OP)
I used to be able to do 20 pullups in my youth, how out of shape do you have to be with your young muscles to not even do 1.

>>512051003 (OP)
No pain, no gain.

wait, they stopped making sure if kids could do a sit up? haha

How can someone not be able to do a pull up?

>>512051003 (OP)
They actually going to introduce a fitness regimen in schools too or just hope the kids stop being fat by magic

>>512051003 (OP)
I have no idea what that is, but I assume it's not the president having to do a fitness test because there's no way Trump can do a single pushup, let alone a pullup.

>>512051003 (OP)
We need to reinstate this for cops as well.
Theres way too many fatties in the field, also cut the women out of the jobs. They cant detain a full grown male.

browns don't even go outside in the US unless it's to shoot each other or sell drugs. All brown kids do is sit at home and play fortnie all day

This confounds and frustrates the gymcel.

They existed when I was a kid.
Nothing bad happens if you fail.
It's just a distraction from the Epstein files.
PE only exists in school to begin with, to get children ready for the military draft.

Fun break from learning in elementary school. Testing was outside in nice weather with various forms of running, jumping etc.
Middle school and High was done during normal gym class so not memorable. Really only part I remember was getting yelled at for doing the rope climb without using my legs and instructor saying it was unsafe

I wish they had this when I was in school. I wish there was more pressure to be fit even for non-athletes. I can bench 275 and do 14 pull-ups now but I'm pushing 40 and it will always feel like I'm playing catch up to my wasted youth.

lol Russia calling Americans pedos. 100% of all the worlds non-black, non-Chinese, non-Cambodian, non-Indonesian, non-Filipino, and non-Indian girl population comes from Russia and its subordinate states. Sorry about LS Studios.

I can smell that picture.

I got legit punished in school for trying to physically improve as a non-athlete. Like as if I was taking up space that could have gone to an athlete. The roided 60 year old gym teacher would come in and like make all this fake shit up about ke that I never said. It was weird watchign a 60 year old boomer go after a 15 year old kid for self improving too hard. Boomers are deranged.

How would that even happen, though? Surely the kid's PARENTS would get them to practice before the test.

PE is an important part of teaching children healthy exercise habits for adulthood. I sucked at the Presidential Fitness Test but it made me try harder and in my middle age I can probably pass most of the test components. If anything we need more phys ed.

Public schools should just have sport and performing arts courses. This is what the elite private schools do. They make the students take courses in sports and arts and they have to perform and be tested on them just like they have to perform and be tested on their scholarship. You don’t necessarily need a youth meeting certain arbitrary physical fitness standards when they’ve all learned what it takes to be athletes and performers.

Fat children deserve to be mocked.

I can do far more than in my youth now
If I met younger me I think I would beat the shit out of him

>>512051003 (OP)
Good. You should be embarrassed you fat fuck.

>>512051003 (OP)
The presidential award was near impossible and only two freaks won it occasionally at my school, but the national was easy peasy if you weren't a fat retard that lacked motivation.

Great. I look forward to seeing Trump completing it.

Good move, hopefully the Presidential penis inspection comes back too

I was about to post a /SIG/, as I hadn't seen one for ages. I don't know why this subject doesn't have some pinned content.

What are some of the basics for getting into military shape. There is constantly talk here of the West being invaded, basically, so why not some standing orders and indeed basic standards we could all shoot for? I have been working out consistently for nine months, but I feel a better rounded routine might be beneficial. What would this routine look like?
