Day 1 — FIRE & FORCE
Complete in order: Resting HR → Breath Hold → Push-Ups → Sit-Ups → Pull-Ups → 12-Min Run → HR Recovery
FIRE: Resting HR / 12-Min Run / HR Recovery / Breath Hold  |  FORCE: Push-Ups / Sit-Ups / Pull-Ups
MF'ers — use a wearable heart rate monitor for Day 1. Resting HR and HR Recovery are the most honest data you have. Use real numbers:

Cardiac Baseline
Resting Heart Rate
Morning, before anything else — lower is better

Take this measurement before you get out of bed. Before coffee, before your phone. Lie still for 1-2 minutes. Take your pulse for a full 60 seconds using two fingers on your wrist, or use your wearable. Average 3 consecutive mornings for a reliable baseline.

CO2 Tolerance
Breath Hold Test
Normal breath, normal exhale, then hold
● Do not hyperventilate before the test — this invalidates the result.

Take a normal breath in through the nose, exhale normally through the nose — do not force it out or hyperventilate beforehand. Pinch your nose and hold. Start timer the moment you pinch. Stop at the first strong urge to breathe — not absolute failure. Repeat 3 times with 2-minute rest. Record your best.

Push Endurance
2-Minute Push-Ups
Max reps in 2 min

Start in a front-leaning rest position, arms fully extended. Lower until your chest nearly touches the floor, then push back to full extension. Only rest in the up position. Reps that do not reach full range of motion do not count.

Core Endurance
2-Minute Sit-Ups
Max reps in 2 min

Lie on your back, knees bent at 90 degrees, fingers interlocked behind your head. Rise until your elbows touch or pass your knees, then lower shoulder blades back to ground. The up position is the only authorized rest. Have a partner hold your feet.

Pull Strength
Dead Hang Pull-Ups
Max reps until failure

Start from a full dead hang — arms completely straight, no kipping or swinging. Pull until your chin clears the bar, lower back to full dead hang before the next rep. Overhand grip. No leg drive. Count stops when you can no longer clear the bar.

Aerobic Base
12-Min Run
Cooper test — distance in miles

Run as far as possible in exactly 12 minutes on a flat surface. A 400m track is ideal. Maximal aerobic effort — not a comfortable jog. When time is up, mark your location and measure total distance. Convert to miles. A GPS watch works if no track is available.

Recovery Speed
HR Recovery to 120 bpm
Immediately after the 12-min run — lower is better

The moment you stop running, start a stopwatch and walk slowly. Stop the timer the exact moment your heart rate hits 120 bpm. Your wearable device makes this significantly easier and more accurate. Enter the time in minutes and seconds.

Day 2 — FORCE & FURY
Complete in order: Broad Jump (3 attempts) → 300-Yd Shuttle Rep 1 → Rest exactly 1 minute → 300-Yd Shuttle Rep 2
FORCE: Broad Jump  |  FURY: Shuttle Rep 1 / Rep 2 / Delta
Day 2 — FORCE & FURY: At least 24 hours after Day 1. Broad Jump first — fully fresh, maximum intent. The 1-minute rest between shuttle reps is not optional. The degradation delta tells us exactly how well you clear metabolites. This is where your Shadow shows up. Don't let it win.
Explosive Power
Standing Broad Jump
Best of 3 attempts

Stand behind a line, feet shoulder-width apart. Bend knees, swing arms back, then explode forward off both feet simultaneously. Measure from the take-off line to the back of your heels on landing — not your toes, not where you step forward after. 3 attempts, 1-minute rest. Record your best.

Anaerobic Conditioning
300-Yard Shuttle
2 reps — 1 minute rest between — record both times
● The 1-minute rest is intentional. The delta between Rep 1 and Rep 2 reveals how quickly you clear metabolites — a critical combat fitness marker.

Set two cones 25 yards apart. Sprint from one to the other and back — one length (50 yards). Complete 6 lengths for 300 yards total. Touch the line at each turn. Record your time. Rest exactly 1 minute, then run a second shuttle at maximal effort. Record Rep 2 separately.
