Military Fit (an appeal for a new program "Military Fit Lite"

[Crazy Pisot]

Good Evening, I want the idea of being military fit ready if my country call for my service. However, the program Military Fit is to difficult for me? I cant do more pullups and lots of sit ups, and Pushups... What should I do?

If that's what you're interested in, you can follow the program outline and adjust the number of repetitions and sets to your level, that is, to what you can do

It's actually a popular request. I believe we already have one in the works: Military Prep

@Crazy Pisot – It’s been a while since I completed Military Fit, but looking over the program, I was reminded of the high push-up volume—especially in the first week when you’re still adjusting. Your concerns are definitely valid.

Here are a few ways to modify the program while building strength:

1. Try Military Fit Plus – This version has lower push-up volume and may be a better starting point.

2. Modify Push-Ups & Pull-Ups – Scaling these movements can help you progress while avoiding burnout:

• Incline Push-Ups – Adjusting the angle reduces difficulty while strengthening your chest and arms.

• Banded Pull-Ups – Using resistance bands of varying tension can help you build strength over time. Here’s a guide to scaffolding pull-ups.

• Inverted Rows (Australian Pull-Ups) – These aren’t a direct replacement for pull-ups, but they strengthen the lats, rhomboids, and biceps, which are key for pull-up development.

3. Sit-Up Alternatives – If sit-up volume is an issue, try crunches, leg raises, or planks to build core strength while easing strain.

These scaffolds might let you adapt the program to your current level.
