Yeah watching my 150 lb Lt. running around us humping a like 80 lb pack plus another dudes pack on his shoulders up a huge hill towards the end of a literal death march was pretty  Not gonna lie the tough hikes are amongst the hardest things I've done in my life and at the end I have no idea how I made it. (Wasn't exactly leading the pack mind you, no pun intended) There was a bitch of a hill that would immediate heat cas pogs within 1/2 mile. There's about a 10-20 min gap that I pretty much blacked out on and came to when I was at the end of our group and another Lt is yelling at me Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Jan 3, 2016 |

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:i saw guys smaller than you hump more weight, you would be surprised what your body is capable of I've seen supply room chicks able to hump more weight than me on a march. Once upon a time I didn't give a gently caress and ground my vertebrae until the cows came home. I was in the best shape of my life. 2 tours and 2000 hours of doing poo poo in the back of a poo poo-hook later... I'm good and I'll take my pussy weight. Pretty much the only reason I still ruck and lift and run and condition is because like everyone here, nobody wants to be a fat lazy piece of poo poo. And well, maybe we want to be able to save our own asses when/if we have to. That's good enough for me. Looking good in clothes is a bonus. Ohyeah, what the gently caress is up with butterbars? When they pin that poo poo on do they magically get running and rucking powers, then lose it after they put a leaf on? I've never met a Lt that was bad at running.

I have wrestled with dudes who are 50 and sometimes 100 pounds heavier than me, its more about cheating with the laws of physics and being legit strong. Also i know some of you would appriciate this dumb poo poo in here:       Stay determined, you fat fucks!

Yeah the article didn't say you'd fold in half instantly with anything over 35 lbs just that you would gradually start jacking up your back the heavier and more frequently you did it. At 35 lbs. you can do it to your heart's desire without doing any damage at all. As for butterbars and running, between OCS and IOBC I'd say running was 90% of our PT. My pushups and situps only marginally improved but I could max the run by the time I was done. They seemed to have this idea that hard PT = running, anything else = shamming. In fact, I was in the marginal PT group (had to PT on Saturdays) during IOBC for pushups (couldn't do enough at Ranger PT test standard). All we did was run even though about 1/3 of us were there for pushups.

Well, I think I've succeeded in pissing something off in my foot. 5x5@315 high bar squats felt good bottoming out and bouncing off my calves, but after I finished the rest of my workout and started walking back from the gym it almost felt like I'd given myself a Jones (5th metatarsal stress) fracture and pissed off what I'm hoping is the plantar fascia in my arch. I knew there was a reason I swiped a bottle of 30mg Mobic before I left.

I was a nice 7% bodyfat in November but since the snow came I'm up ~10-15lbs. Any good winter workouts to replace daily runs? Gym time alone isn't cutting it like it used to. Should I just accept the winter weight and bulk?

I replaced running/cycling with Rowing a few years ago. Doing 30-40 minutes of rowing is always interesting and seems to burn just as many, if not more calories than cycling or running does... You of course need to have a rowing machine at your local gym of course, or throw down on one.

Practice Brazilian JiuJitsu for better cardio. That said I am looking to buy a compact and foldable stationary bike so I can do more cardio. Also gently caress running forever.

I've fat shamed myself to get back to the loving gym. It's a start but I did an hour on the elliptical. Gotta keep up on this poo poo because I'm tired of having a gut and being out of shape. Peeping butts while I worked out was a plus.

Yo, can any of you dudes recommend a decent intermediate 3 day lifting program? I've been doing a 4 day u/l split thing that I like a lot, but I need to switch back to a three day program because of time constraints. Any thoughts?

You're better off grabbing a program out of YLLS honestly. If you can already hit intermediate benchmarks you should go straight to TM, if not just do starting strength. It's Good 5x5 Stronglifts is also a pretty good 3 day a week program. You can get by with squatting every day, then alternating OHP/BenchP, Bi/Tri, and Shoulders/Back accessory work. That covers most of your bases and gives you consistent squats, which is a bomb rear end exercise. Cardio on your off days. its curtains for Kevin fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jan 25, 2016 |

NTT posted:You're better off grabbing a program out of YLLS honestly. Yeah I forget about stronglifts, I will probably just do that. I did ICF starting out and that was rough when I was trying to lose weight, but I know how to tune it down now for working out at a calorie deficit. I'm still pretty intermediate, the only lifts I have to reset on so far are my OHP and bench, but that's mostly because my right shoulder is kind of a mess, so I tend to baby it a little. I have more or less "lifted weights" for the last 18 years, but I only figured out what the gently caress I needed to be doing a couple years ago, and frankly, I let myself get into such bad shape after getting out of the Navy that it took me almost a full year to get flexible enough to not kill myself on some of these lifts. I dunno if there are any young really young dudes reading this thread, but by god, don't gently caress around with getting fat and gross, its a motherfucker to reverse.

ElMaligno posted:stretch* and lift smaller weights for a lifting warm-up. *Static stretching is the devil when done before resistance training, don't unless you want to decrease your maximal and sub-maximal output by up to ~30% if I'm remembering the numbers right. For lifting I loving love 5/3/1 warm-ups, it's based on your theoretical or if it's known then your actual training maxes. Take 90% of those maxes and do 40% of that resulting number for 5, 50% for 5, and 60% for 5 then move on to whatever you're doing. Those three sets are usually enough for the entire workout, but if you're doing two or more completely opposite kinds of movements (in my instance bench and then bicep assistance work) you might want to tack on another ~2 warm-up sets for those, given that while there's going to be a decent bit of the increased blood flow to the muscle that is needed and your connective tissues will be mostly warmed up, it's still probably not going to be firing quite on all cylinders yet. If the whole 90%/40%/50%/60% poo poo makes your eyes glaze over, there's like 15 different 5/3/1 apps you can use that will retard-proof it.

jumping rope is good for getting the blood flowing but you should really target what you're going to work that day with some dynamic movements to loosen up the joints and limber up those ligaments. I mix in short static holds for about 10 seconds each because I honestly dont give a gently caress about lifting the maximum weight everyday and I find it helps improve my range of motion when I lift as opposed to only doing dynamic warm ups. Foam rolling is pretty good too especially if you run.
