For bodybuilders and powerlifters of the Army and USMC, what is your 2/3 mile run time and how much can you squat/deadlift?

Great question I ask you the same. I ran 13 mins consistently up until running was not able to be preformed. Walked 25min 2.5 miles after. Squts/Deadlifts up to +-500lbs. I competed in my first powerlifting comp at 40. 1260 total. 200 class

You will want to look at some of the resources from Alex Viada of Complete Human Performance for info about how to periodize and recover from the traininy required to be successful at both (because it seems that is what you are truly attempting to ascertain here).

My best 2 mile in the Army was ~13:40. Average was in the low to mid 14s. At that time, I squatted and deadlifted in the mid 3s (365-385 squat, 355-375 dead) and weighed between 165-175lbs.

Currently I’m 220lbs at 6’2 and 37 years old. My best 2 mile is 12:27 and average around 13:30 currently. My deadlift is 575lbs and squat is 465lbs. I’ve been competing in bodybuilding for 10 years and was actually Mr Michigan a few years ago. HOOAH!

I am far from a body builder, but my 2/3 mile run time is about 4.5 minutes. (I can run 2/3 of a mile in about 4.5 minutes..but I am old)

I'm 38 and weigh 150. Ran 14:15 this week on my APFT. My best raw squat is 315# and best deadlift is 375# (December 2016), and my best 2mi since beginning powerlifting is 13:58 (October 2016). I ran a 13:03 in October 2014 before I started lifting seriously.
