Good evening (or morning/afternoon depending on where your rump's resting right now)
The title is self-explanatory but I'd like to elaborate a little. I am aware that in order to be considered in the legion you need to be able to able to carry out a certain number of pull ups and push ups in a row. I am training push ups at home right now focussing on the correct form but I have found that there is a huge slump in the no. of repetitions when I try to maintain the right form- i.e., elbows unflared, chest touching the ground ensuring a full ROM, butt clenched, quads contracted etc. Now I guess that during the screening the recruiters are only interested in the number, not the form; however, I also feel that preferring number to form might hold me from attaining the strength that I would achieve with a proper form. I'd like to ask you what would you recommend me to do: focus on the form and gradually increase the number , or just ditch the form and max my pull ups/press ups?
Have a nice evening
