@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.
