SECRETS OF PASSING IPPT ... revealed!!!

Thanks dude! If only I had that when I was in the army. But anyway, I got through fine!

Easy.. I always pass without effort... but there are some things that you can do before IPPT too.

The standard tips is take good rest.
Eat a banana 3 hours before the 2.4 which is usually the killer. (My frds eat a whole bunch)

Do not over stretch.
Maintain proper pacing.
Tie your shoe laces (very stupid advice but still sometimes I kanna also...)


The rest is just train train train everyweek before that.

Oki.. heres the secret for training your pull ups.

Maintain a strict routine everyday to do 20 pumpings at least everyday. Or at least 100 pumpings if possible. I have a frd who maintains this.. boy, he was so good with the pull up.

The best is also to train and practise. Keep on pulling and someday you will break that zero. I progressed from what they call a 'zero fighter' (those who does zero chin up) to 10. hehehee..

The trick is to keep on pulling.. and be careful, never jerk or kick your leg.. cos it wount be counted. You rather do 5 lesser chin ups then to do 10 with kicks and not counted.

Steady steady man man lai!!

Yah.. if only I have the discipline. *lol...

Shucks.. IPPT soon.. What the f$$$.... Must go for train train and run run again.

the best secret is to train 1,3,5..rest on 2,4,6,7...go for runs, do tuck jumps, sit ups...must have discipline to do all these lo..and nv say die motto!

I got my money! yipee. And yes, I agree with you icyboy. Training is crucial, and so is the rest between the training. I think the most you can get out of training is 2.4km and the pull ups.

It helps to train pull ups everyday from my experience. I have no problem with the rest of the items, so I guess thats why I trained so much for pull up.

hahas..yeap..the allowance came in late today!

I need to train up for IPPT recently. Do any1 have more tips to passing the IPPT?
I want to get the bonus!
