I totally respect what the army guys training routines are like, the endurance, the power of will etc
If you want to emulate military style training, a few good ideas: Long distance runs, 5k+ 4-5 minute sprints, increasing speed, get a weight vest, slowly add more weight. Alot of bench press (not pushups, although they work the same thing, the bench will give better results, if you had 2 people training for 100 pushups, the dude who did it using the benchpress would beat the person doing them on the floor) alot of chinups Alot of squats, but once you get to around 135lb (that's a full sized bar + 2 plates, not nickels or dimes, plates) start working on trying to get to 100 reps, once you get to 100 reps, up the weight a bit, work to 100, repeat. Similair to how fighters train their upper body.
So a week may look like:
Monday: 5km run Benchpress (7 sets, 5 reps, train HEAVY) Include some stretching here if you want, but you wont be training much, because the army guys don't train with alot of exercises like builders.
Tuesday: 10 sprints, all 1 minute in length. Increase weight or length, but always do 10. Chinups (5 sets of as many as you can do)
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Bench (this time do 5 sets of 20 reps, to build the endurance) Squats (method described above)
Friday: Chinups (1 set, as many as you can do) Crunches bodyweight lunges (Work on getting the reps to 100, then add weight, similair to squats)
Saturday: 10km, fastest pace possible. Increase speed and weight, not distance.
Sunday: Nothing. Something like that would simulate alot of the results.
