NEW Royal Marines PJFA Explained - The Old PJFT is Gone

[@C924B]

Agree that the new test will to be better with the bleep test added. Did the PJFT back in 2021 and it was pretty easy. Got to lympstone and got injured running in the 3rd week of the ROP due to lack of prep. Got sent home and told to come back in a couple of years when ready. Reapplying next year can’t wait

[@tomgunstone3430]

I went through the exact same situation as you. Strong passes on the pjft but an injury from running in rop took me out of training. Getting to the standards for PJFA will make more people well rounded so seems a better test

[@robertcumming9227]

Unfortunate that you didn't make it the first time. But hey at least you've got the advantage of knowing what to expect for next time. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum I can run for miles absolutely fine but when it comes to the press ups and especially doing sit ups to a beep I leave a lot to be desired. Good luck with the training and your application you'll smash it this time

[@baka4real338]

My recruiter sent me the new PJFT Minimum 30 press up 40 sit up 10.5 bleep test I currently max 60 sit-up 45 press up Just hope these is true 💪

[@CompleteCommando]

Correct mate but you have Pull ups in there too

[@CompleteCommando]

Max scores are: 16 pull ups 60 press ups 80 sit ups Bleep test 14 or so

[@baka4real338]

@@CompleteCommando pull up minimum 4

[@wilkezy4446]

I heard it was 4 pull ups, 16 is steep? Like the as many as possible tho.

[@Wut3225]

@@wilkezy4446 16 is the maximum.

[@robertcumming9227]

This is the best video I've seen explaining the new test. Everyone seems to be saying its just 30 press ups, 40 sit ups, 4 pull ups and a bleep test. I've got mine booked for the 17th of January

[@CompleteCommando]

Glad it’s of use mate. Take full advantage of the links in the description for the audios you need mate. There’s also a follow along training wod to help improve PJFA

[@robertcumming9227]

@@CompleteCommando will do. Already passing it comfortably just trying to get to the max reps now. Any advice on building strong legs? I live in the Highlands so I don't have access to a gym so strengthening my legs is a bit of a challenge

[@Ell_tell]

@@robertcumming9227 what kind of routine did you do to increase your press ups mate?

[@robertcumming9227]

@@Ell_tell well I don't really have a routine tbh just practice makes perfect. One thing that might help is if you do a set of 10 have a 30 second rest then a set of 9 and so on so forth. A couple additional exercises that might help are planks and tricep dips. Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on👍

Brilliant well done mate! We always try to give insights into what you need mate. Message on insta if unsure

[@JK-eb5li]

Thanks man!!

[@CompleteCommando]

No problem!

[@BrandoLewis]

What's the maximum score for these test, i.e. pull-up, press up, sit up, bleep test, run time, to give you the best chance of getting fast tracked into training?

[@edwardal7980]

Great vid, any news on YO fitness tests?

[@CompleteCommando]

Will confirm and get back asap

[@cg2bx264]

So it’s gone full circle to what it used to be? It’s all about balls-out max effort rather than what looks like learning to pace yourself(?). Those standards have to be maintained!!! 💪🏻

[@CompleteCommando]

Well said mate

[@goodcat1982]

For those already in the army, what are the official run times for the AACC. I read the 3 milers is now 1.5 miles in 15 minutes then 1.5 miles in under 11:30? Is that true??

[@JK-eb5li]

Oh sweet I think I'd rather do it like that

[@squidge4705]

Great intel. Question, does the RM beep test include the 2 metre check lines at each end? ie got to be within that at time of beep. Have seen that on some vids- or is it strictly foot needs to touch line at or before time of bleep. Thanks

[@TheSupaman98]

Is this for the reserves as well?

[@CompleteCommando]

Yes mate

[@nukenade4623]

time for me to invest in a pull up bar to get ready for this. Anyone know any good ones?

[@brewer-7711]

Hiya mate, great vid. Just one question. My next thing on my application is the PJFT, haven’t got a date yet but will most likely do it in January, February time. Will I do the new one or old one? Cheers.

[@CompleteCommando]

It should be the new one mate! 👍

[@finnmarshall6580]

Is this for the officers as well or just the commandos?

[@harryball5475]

Are pull ups, sit ups and press ups to the beep? Or just do as many as possible

To the beep

any difference for officers ?

Same for officers

Anyone completed the PJFT+ recently?? i passed mine 2 weeks ago and still waiting on a date for CPC,, just wondering how long everyone else had to wait?

My PJFT is January 8th 2024. Those this mean i should do the new PJFA or the old PJFT

[@CompleteCommando]

New PJFA mate

[@harrybradford5889]

What does it mean by max push-ups etc like as many as you can do?

[@benjoyce6133]

Yes

[@CompleteCommando]

As many as you can to the beep. Audio for it is in the description

[@tomtaylorjones2256]

What are the max scores for each test? Thanks.

Press ups: 60 Sit ups: 80 Pull ups: 16 Bleep: 14 I think

[@bananabird7584]

@@CompleteCommando these max or min? 😳

[@Sewer2K]

okay so i have a question as im currently busy with my joining application and have been preping for the pjft+ which i think they still make me d because im applying from a South Africa. I wanted to ask what are the minimum standards required for this new assessment? is that public information yet?

[@CompleteCommando]

Not pass or fail however if you do better you’ll get in way quicker than if you do crap. These are the pass marks for CPC. Bare in mind these are minimum standards that no one should be happy getting: Max press ups - pass mark: 30 Max sit ups - pass mark: 40 Max pull ups - pass mark - 4 Max bleep test: - pass mark - 10.5

[@Sewer2K]

thank you so much for the reply i really appreciate it. Thankfully i am well above the minimum standard already and will continue striving for more💪@@CompleteCommando

[@guardian2-735]

Didn't know South Africa was still in the Commonwealth mate

[@Sewer2K]

yeah it is luckily, unfortunately i am one generation to far so i cant get a ancestral visa even though both my parents can which is a bit annoying but one of those things and well i've always wanted to join the military so i said fuck a work visa and yeah a couple months into my application hopefully i will be on my way in a few more @@guardian2-735

[@asmaar566]

Dont qorry about it mate, we all started there. I used to go for a 1 mile run a few times a week, but would usually end up walking 90% of the way. Felt ashamed to walk past people in full running gear but what can you do As for increasing numbers for exercises, it all starts by moving. Make sure you are moving frequently, even if its 1 pushup an hour. Trust me, it makes all the difference Strength comes from your rest periods, so you wont notice changes until you're tired and take a few days off Finally, even if it doesnt apply im real tests anymore, the old PJFT+ test is a very useful daily workout. Even if you cant complete one 5 minute round perfectly, it still puts you in the right direction. You can find the audio online. Over time you can work on your form (pushups: elbows touching your hips, situps: elbows passing top of knee) but you dont need to work on that from day 1 Keep up the good work mate
