RM BFT PART 1 - PULL-UPS<br />
1<br />
RM BFT EXECUTION<br />
The individual hangs with an overgrasp grip, hands shoulder width apart with the<br />
arms and body straight. The pull-up is performed by bending the arms until the<br />
chest is brought to the beam or bar and the chin is over the beam or bar. The body<br />
is then lowered until the arms and body are completely straight. The PTI dictates the<br />
cadence of these repetitions using voice commands. The test finishes when the<br />
individual fails to complete a proper repetition or dismounts from the beam or bar.<br />
There is no time limit to this test.<br />
