Lots of army units actually do crosscut for PT. it's not standard but its the choice of a lot of PT minded COmpany Officers. At least a lot had adopted it when I was in at fort Bragg. Not SF but airborne infantry and such.

In the Army (from my understanding and experience), in order to test for steroids your unit commander has to specifically request it. Otherwise they only test for the recreational stuff. This makes sense considering I've been testing while on and didn't have any problem (I was only taking an oral (turinabol). I only personally know of one incident in Army Special Forces where a guy got tested because he was pretty blatent about it, and practically advertised the fact that he was using.

This is true. I believe they can only request it if there is a very good reason to believe its happening. The test is expensive and it has to come out of the battalion budget or company budget, can't remember which one. So people aren't quick to jump on steroid tests in the army in my experience. We had one but it's because someone supposedly saw him inject himself.

Ok 1) Muscle doesn't float and you will be swimming a lot at BUDs 2) 8-10% BF is going to kill you. You really need to work on Endurance. CROSSFIT is good. For Endurance. As far as strength I just watched a Ranger buddy of mine Deadlift 555 lbs. Also do g a cycle of any sorts before. Isn't the smartest thing to do. Also Ruck Run and Ruck some more. Do cals climb rope and all. Good luck

Thanks for the input i do believe ill be leaning out a lot more and I won't be as big an bulky due to the running/swimming and crossfit so I won't be to big. endurance really comes easy to me so it's just putting in the time to dial my body in. my main concern is keeping strength an being able to be strong and have that endurance to go with it. Been working like the core movements with 5x5 7x3 for strength. as far bf% goes I think it's all mental man lil guys big guys fat skinny make it. and honestly I might do like an anavar cycle before I go and prob a lil into the training idk about that epi stuff I don't have time to run a pct an all. In buds they don't really ruck they do boats on head an log pt so I think it's a lil diff than the ranger training. They do rucks later on in training but doing it now isn't going to do much but give me shin splints I think. def going to work on rope climbs tho more for technique than anything. and it's not even 100% I'm going yet Im schedule to take a pst oct 16 then the following week my package will get submitted then it'll prob be like a month.

Just remember trying to cycle during BUDS won't be easy. You wont have time to really get away to take it. Remember High BP SIde effects. And if there was anything I would take during it would be Test. You will be so stressed and sleep deprived ur test will drop dramatically.
and also no matter how strong u r the cadre will smoke u till ur weak.
