Most obstacles and exercises focus on upper body strength, such as pull ups, the wall, pole climbing, rope climbing, etc, you need to work out your upper body and quit focusing on push ups..You have to pass the IST before you will be placed into your platoon, if you fail it you will go to PCP platoon to build strength..I recommend you get busy on pull ups. good luck You lack upper body strength.
