    Just did the pare and a few things I'll say I saw in this video that they clearly tell you not to do or to do differently. 1 being when you complete the first 6 arches, you have to touch the top of the handle each time you come back up, not the middle, but the bottom. Also they tell you to not cross your feet and to have control when releasing the push pull machine, shuffling the feet is safer and easier. 2 is if you knock over a hurdle, its 2 seconds deducted but dont stop if you do, keep running! The instructor will put it back. 3 if you cannot clear the matt/box outline, its 5 seconds deducted. Stepping on the line or matt also results in a 5 second deduction. And last, #4 when jumping over the bar or fence, you have to have your shoulders touch the ground when going on your back, this guy didnt do that really. But when lying on your belly, make sure your chest touches the ground

    @slapierre7737 4 роки тому +3

    Well, I guess testing facilities may have different standards, but where I did mine, this guy’s time would look way less amazing after all the faults
    edo. Vault falls are barely controlled and shoulders not fully touching the ground. Grabbed the push/pull while doing the front/back falls. And perhaps more contentious, but some facilities do not allow feet cross overs and any appearance of even a single crossover would result in a fault requiring the redo of the arc.

      I'm in the same boat as you. I workout regularly at my gym but I did a practice PARE for the first time last night and got 6:07 (yikes!). I have my test booked for two weeks from now and I need to pass it otherwise there's a chance my application with CBSA gets terminated or (best case scenario) delayed. All of a sudden, I have two weeks to drastically improve my stamina!

    • @christinaw648
      @christinaw648 7 років тому +1

      Thanks for getting back to me. The greatest difficulty.I had was jumping over the matt. I hesitated a lot in doing things like the stair climb. Once my stamina was beat it was really hard to do the push/pull test. You do a really great job training people. People are lucky to have you in their area to help train them for this.

    • @rlconditioning
      @rlconditioning  7 років тому +2

      Here are a couple videos you can check out for the mat jump:
      ua-cam.com/video/GkQy7W0fbP8/v-deo.html (Jumping over vs stepping over)
      ua-cam.com/video/noWqj8pGvj0/v-deo.html (Mat jump tutorial)
      One last thing, you mention your stamina was beat. If you're not pacing correctly (ie running too fast at the beginning and getting slower each lap), then you will be gassed. Keep consistent lap times, even if that means running slower initially. Everything catches up to you, but at least if you start slower you will have more energy left for the push/pull machine.

      If you're consistent with training and doing what's need to be done (cardio training, especially high intensity, along with strength training), as well as running a few practices to familiarize yourself with the test and the obstacles, 2 years is more than enough time.

    • @phylippelebel5742
      @phylippelebel5742 6 років тому +1

      Yeah. I've been hitting the gym 2/3 a week (for almost 4 years ) and I did the PARE in 3;38 (+2 sec. for knocking a pole off and 7sec+ for failing to complete a pull correctly). The issue I noticed is that I was not used to high intensity (parkour) style workouts, so I was breathing heavy at the end. I also noticed that my legs were weak once I hit the push/pull part. Luckily, I could compensate with upperbody strenght. So based on my experience, I recommend that you start doing some parkour style workouts (doesnt have to be HIGH intensity, but the higher the better prepared youll be). The next thing would be to work your physical strenght. Make sure you can easily do 6 pushups and bench approx. 80lbs. Like that you can rest assured youll be able to pull off the push/pull part. You can always just follow a regular gym workout for 2 years and youll probably do fine. One last tip would be to start the parkour slower and end faster. Good Luck!

      Passing time is 4:45 (Pare#1) at Depot - almost anybody off the street should be able to run it under that time unless they are obese or severely out of shape. (There's always 1-2 cadets per troop that run it over 5 minutes and get injured and get sent home) If you fail pare #1 at depot you get feedback and cleared upon Pare #2 but honestly if you are anywhere over 5 minutes you will need to be under 4 minutes by Pare#2 to clear feedback.
      I ran it 4:40 my first attempt back in 2015 with a throat infection and fever. By the time I got to Depot I ran it around 3:40 by the end of training it was around the 2:50 mark. That's coming from somebody who generally has had shit cardio his entire life (back of the class in highschool running, near the back of my troop in running as well) But seriously if you are overweight (especially if you are a woman) please hold off on your application until you get into shape - there are far too many cadets who go there and get injured or get sent home because of shin splints/knee injuries/medical time etc. That program is so fucking hard going there out of shape will make it worse then the hell on earth it already is. I have so many problems (from an ethical standpoint) on how that program is run there and how many good people they fuck over, and if you are a fatty there I can promise you the facilitars will show no remorse and will not be nice to you.

      Start training now, laying a foundation of strength and cardio fitness. Be consistent with training, and play the long game, not how much you can lift now or how fast you can run now. That will come in time.
      In addition to training, keep a good head on your shoulders. Think twice before you do anything stupid. That can come back and bite you in the ass.
      Take steps to be a qualified candidate. Volunteer, build your skill sets, learn to interact with people, learn to resolve conflicts.

      Marc-Jason Locquiao he is choosing how to fall, they dont tell him which side, so still flawed sorry

      I could continue this discussion, but I have a feeling it's gonna go nowhere. I would like to say, though, that you are talking to a former test administrator and what is done in the video is within the rules.

      Marc-Jason Locquiao no sorry it is not well done:/

      topayo listen to the man. He knows what he is talking about and trains the best of the best. It's actually quite offensive the way you are doubting him.
