The Royal Marines are one of the world’s elite fighting forces. Any male that seeks to join the brigade as a recruit must attend a selection course that is renowned for being one of the toughest basic selection courses of NATO forces. A potential recruit must attend a 3 day selection course called a Potential Royal Marine Course (PRMC), a potential officer attends a Potential Officers Course (POC), also 3 days in duration. No matter which course a potential marine attends he can be sure that he will never have experienced anything like it before. The courses will test him both physically and mentally, only those that have the potential to meet the requirements of 32 weeks commando training will be passed.

This is an example of a recommended body weight circuit.

1st SET

2nd SET

3rd SET

This is an excellent circuit that will develop all muscular endurance of all the major muscle groups. Between sets allow a few minutes rest and then move on to the next set. Ensure that strict technique is maintained for optimal strength benefits. Performing 5 good pull ups is better than performing 8 with poor technique.
