So far the National Guard has proved to be a nightmare to get squared away with a physical and any sort of paperwork that isn't done by yourself.

To be fair, this has been the case with every NG unit I've worked with. Are you with a medical unit, or attached to something else?

I've attended a pre-selection course while I was stationed at Bragg on my first active duty enlistment but my selection date was canceled due to deployment. I feel pretty confident about the SFRE, plus I have some other things going for me.

I got hemorrhoids and it hurts to squat. It feels like my rear end in a top hat is going to burst out and spill onto the floor when I do rear end to grass.

No, I changed my diet and not taking in enough fiber I guess so it came back when I took a massive poo poo. I go light when I do squats. Naturally have thunder thighs, can't be getting them any bigger or I'll never be able to fit into jeans again.

Doesn't it suck? They don't make anything for us. Underarmour boxer briefs are so amazing, but not designed for our massive thighs, so it just ends up riding up after a few hours.

Same thing with boxer briefs, the elastic just gets all loose within a few hours and then those things ride up too.

Going back on mission in a bit. It'll be jailhouse kind of gym again. What are some good back exercises to substitute lat pull downs with? Besides pull ups?

Well, they're putting in a packet so I can go to RRRANGER school. We have a shitload (I'm talking only 1 tabbed PL right now) of non-tabbed Infantry officers. Us Armor officers are low priority, but my commander told us to try anyway. Anyone have any ruck training tips? I found a pretty good workout on RTB, but it goes straight into 10 milers.

Complete the first week over and over again, starting at 6 miles and upping the mileage 2 miles every other week until you get to 10 then follow the plan. Or go to military athlete and look for the Ranger School plan.

Rucking is easy man, short fast steps, lean forward, don't land with your heel (much like running).

It seems like there has been a ton of LTs not getting their tabs. Or maybe it's just the guys we get at Fort Bliss.

I had a college professor telling me about the program a few years back and I first thought it was a beginner's weight lifting and cardio class. It seems pretty cultish to me and that video is hilarious. Guy seems quite entitled to all the equipment in the gym.

One shake weight? You're supposed to do double shake weight squats and do the grunt moan each rep. I haven't seen anything weird like that at my local YMCA. The worst I see are creepy old men oogling younger guys. Nothing like looking up from your treadmill to see some dude giving you the Eagle Stare from across the room. Now just imagine if those folks did this while using a shake weight.

Other people would tell how hard you were working, but you wouldn't. Or is the point of this shirt to spend a lot of time in the mirror? Should come with a little compact mirror for our manpurse. But in all seriousness it looks kind of cool, but I've never been a fan of those form fitting shirts when I exercise. Need some airflow.

"Yep, done doing this exercise. Better take whatever I'm working out with and just throw it on the floor from shoulder height. You know, so people think I'm strong." --what seems to go through the mind of every person I see working out in the Cross-Fit room.

As much as I generally hate cross-fit faggots, I have this PL. The dude's like 5'7" and 175 pounds. He squats in the 300s, deadlifts in the 400s, and I don't know what he benches. He runs the 2-mile between 10:00 and 10:30 depending on the day. He's a total crossfit human being, but he's not actually gay about it. He properly trained his dudes up in how to do the exercises, making sure they weren't just doing poo poo "for reps" and keeping form and lifting lower weight than the biggest dude in the platoon if necessary. He also eats the stupidest gluten-free diet.

But it all loving works for him, so I dunno. My thought is that he works out at such a high level that it doesn't matter what kind of workout he does, and it probably doesn't matter what he eats either. I'm sure all the gluten-free no-milk horseshit is psychological, but whatever works I guess.

The gluten free crowd are aggravating as poo poo. I'm pretty happy eating decently about 80% then doing poo poo like buffalo wings and whole wheat pizza regularly too. Probably why I view bodybuilders as insane with their strict rear end diets. I could never eat that cleanly or I'd lose my sanity.

Everyone I know that's switched to a gluten-free diet has lost quite a bit of weight. However, they all have some varying degree of gluten allergy so it's not really voluntary.
