 My one rep max on the bench is in the 320's or 330's depending on whether or not I did any sets before I put it up. I really hope that isn't anywhere close to the highest max in GiP. My lifting buddy maxes out around 480.

I hit 265 on a whim about 3 months ago at 175 lb. It's just a lift i don't push much since I don't lift with anyone.

You can do the actual boxing training part without actually fighting with anyone. Or maybe you want to just punch some dude's in the face, which is cool, but the workouts are hard as gently caress and not horribly damaging which is awesome. So don't feel the need to go against the flyweight champion of the corner block or anything. Downside: you may get laughed at behind your back for being a pussy. Upside: you won't get parkinson's.

But the punching part is the best. I'm looking at joining the local ju jitsu fighthouse. One of my dudes who does amateur MMA fights there and he says it's pretty legit. It's like 90 bucks a month so no worries on the money, but I'm just not sure I want to take the time to go train there every evening after work.

I've never seen you, but I'm confident you could take him. He punched me once and I was unimpressed...he's too light to have a lot behind it. He fights girls ffs.

I know a guy doing D-bol. He refuses to lift while on it because he has bad shoulders and does crossfit instead. It makes no sense to me.

Right now I weigh 205 and my hair touches my eyebrows in the front if I don't comb it. When I graduated Ranger School (no recycles  ) I weighed 150 and my head was shaved.

They want me to do a 5 mile run in 35 minutes at some point. Oh gently caress... Also, found out that I might not be able to go to Ranger because you need normal color vision. I'm doing the follow up eye appointment soon.

Why the gently caress do you need color vision to go to Ranger School? It's 5 in 40, so maybe they're just trying to get you well under the time standard to make sure you don't fail. I ran it in 32 back in the day, which I could absolutely never do right now.

Does anyone know some good drills or workouts to help me ruck faster? At just a rucking pace, I can do like 3.5 miles in an hour with a 65lb pack. I have to run-walk-run in order to get under that.

I'm currently struggling with the same thing. I've been doing retarded weight 1-2 times a week (running a sub 13 mile/min mostly, which is still slow for ruck running) for the past few months and really haven't managed any improvement on time. What sucks about this is when I get too exhausted to run, I just fall apart because I haven't trained myself to walk fast. I'm going to be taking a similar approach to my running by doing shorter intervals at sustainable speeds (starting with no weight, just wearing boots), and keeping a close track on maintaining a pre-determined pace. I know it's possible to walk sub 14, 13, and even 12 minute miles with a hefty ruck because I've seen people do it. It's just a matter of practicing the correct walking form (leg strut, arm swing , and lean), and progressing in distance and weight once you get it down.

What sucks about this is when I get too exhausted to run, I just fall apart because I haven't trained myself to walk fast. I figure that it's a technique issue. The fastest ruck I ever did was 5 miles in just under an hour because the guy leading it had a very peculiar way of rucking. They say to use your hips a lot, but I'm still figuring out how to "activate" my hips. The weights not an issue for me. The heavy squats and deadlifts I do have made it so that the ruck feels like nothing to me which is a good improvement.
