I know It's technically the wrong answer but, tell him if he doesn't quit being an rear end in a top hat you'll punch him in the mouth. If he doesn't listen...punch him in the mouth. You can obviously take him.

Should I go to the gym with my basketball shorts but then also my normal belt around my waist and gun???? Should I pull it on him? I just want to not hear his lovely music.

Act like you want to put this all aside and be bros with him. Lace you work out gloves with LSD or whatever psychotropic drug you can get your hands on. Make amends and go in for a bro hug. From there he'll probably have a bad trip and never want to listen to dirt rock again. Just ensure you keep his weapon away from him. Don't need him to shoot at some imaginary demon pixies and accidentally George Lenny. Bonus points if it gets him sent home. If this is crossing the line I also have a plan that involves a firehose, three Peruvian midgets and 2lbs of milk chocolate.

Tell him you can hear his music through your headphones, and that you would appreciate it if they would turn it down. If they refuse, talk to their supervisor. You're a contractor, so your word automatically trumps them. Throw out awesome buzzwords like "disrespectful, lack of professionalism, detracting from the army/af/marine/navy image, will not compromise," etc. If that doesn't work, kick him in the throat, and crush his testicles with a 45lb plate.

Speed metal and speed punk own for lifting. Screw wearing expensive earbuds or headphones to the gym, though. I use some lovely $8 clip earphones because they're eventually going to be destroyed anyway.

Bands I like to listen to while lifting: Slayer, Municipal Waste, Cancer Bats, Pour Habit, Strung Out, Six Feet Under, Send More Paramedics, GWAR, The Locust. Bands I try not to listen to while lifting: Iron & Wine, The Decemberists, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Promise Ring, Bayside, Washed Out

3 Inches of Blood, Darkest Hour, In Flames, and the Flatliners. Also, I can't do hip-hop while lifting. I've tried, but it just makes me want to go drink instead of getting me pumped up.

A lot of people have them in Iraq and they are knock-offs sold at (I want to say "Haji Shops" because that is literally what they are called even by their owners but one of our mods thinks that is a racist term) the local nation shops on installation. Most people think they are genuine, even though they get them for $70 or whatever. People are beyond retarded. My $40 in ear headphones sound better than those pieces of junk.

I'll probably do a cycle or two after I quit working over here. As an aside, my buddy and I have been doing the "recovery week" thing or whatever, where you go half weight but do 30 reps. It's been worse than a normal workout, the preacher curls were legitimately the most painful thing I've ever done in the gym. edit; in before someone makes a joke about losing anal virginity in a gym Rrail fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Apr 11, 2012 |

"Combat Worst-Case Scenario: An Argument for Strength Training in the Military" by Maj. Ryan Whittemore "Why Does the Army Want Me Weak? Training for Combat While Preparing for the Army Physical Fitness Test" by Maj. Ryan Long I'm curious how many people in the military who are serious about lifting have read these two gems. Both strongly advocate strength-based compound lifting, Major Long's essay outlines some of the better reasons to add Olympic lifts for explosive power, and he (albeit anecdotally) illustrates how interval training is vastly superior to distance running for the average soldier. Whittemore's a FSO with the 10th SFG, Long's a Phys Ed instructor at West Point. Their combined degrees, certifications, and experience are mind-boggling. The fact that both of these guys are practically ranting, shouting this poo poo from the rooftops and it's all falling on deaf ears... It's just loving depressing.

Anecdotally, I used to get into arguments with this Captain in our office. He was a fatbody, then deployed to Colombia, and came back a runner. He ran 5+ miles every day. He hated that I couldn't run distance, but we found out at a PT that I could crush him in sprints. When I asked him to name likely/possible scenarios in which you would need to run 5 miles as opposed to 500 feet, he pretty much fell on his face. Simply put, being fast is much better (in my opinion) than being able to run long. For most people in a combat environment (read: on a FOB), what's going to save your life is how fast you can get to a bunker. I won't dare to speak for people out in the red, though.

I think it's kind of hard to find a happy medium, unfortunately. Doing a lot of distance running will break down muscle, making it difficult to keep in good sprinting shape unless you're doing squats and intervals on a consistent basis.
