From what I understand, cardio and calisthenics are integral to military PT.

While I perform decently in these areas, I find that going to the weightroom hampers progress in cardio and vice versa

What are some ways to effectively balance weightlifting and cardio for military functionality?

3 days cardio with 3 days alternating lifting

Can anyone post calisthenics progression?

For pullups, I started with negatives (jumping up to top of movement, then letting down slowly, perhaps 3 sets of 10 a workout. Took a month before I could do one proper, then I began to mix full pullups in

Now I do 4x8-10 unweighted, 5x5 weighted. I've heard commonly once you can do 12 in a row unassisted, you add weight and scale up from there

I've never had a problem with pushups, though I hear knee push ups are a good way to start building upper body strength. I've moved on to decline push ups at this point, usually to failure (about 35 with feet raised 12 in)

Cardio and calisthenics are the only thing the military cares about. It's much better to start with a good base of strength, but ultimately you gotta be able to run miles and do bodyweight exercises until you puke, then keep going.
