I got presented a PT badge in Korea in company formation like it was an ARCOM or some such poo poo. Then got smoked because I didn't know what it was. Then never wore it, because people who wore them all looked like boners.

Even assuming I was capable of getting 90 in each event, which I was not because gently caress running forever and a day, I think I'd have stopped like one pushup short or something just to not have to even risk someone telling me I had to wear that thing. I finished boy scouts a long time ago, I'm done with badges thank you.

I'm so glad I half-assed every dumb crossfit thing our CO wanted to do. He had a loving obstacle course of sorts set up with tire flipping, kettle bells, upside down pushups with your feet on the wall.....it was loving stupid. If I hadn't half-assed it all I probably would have come out even more injured than I am now.

Crossfit caught fire when I was deployed and quickly that fire was extinguished after the insane number of injuries idiots inflicted upon themselves trying to do the WODs Edit: also Army PT is so loving lame I permenately hate running now. Running 40-50 miles a week on dirt and uphill and at a slow rear end pace that makes it all even worse was just terrible gently caress you Uncle Sam

Crossfit in the Army was a loving virus and I hope it isn't as bad anymore. Talk about people wanting to do things they didn't have the resources for. Protip idiot O's: sandbags tow bars and various heavy objects you have lying around in a muddy PT field isn't going to be anywhere near as cool as you think it will be while you watch the Crossfit Games at Buffalo Wild Wings.

The army got me into running since the battalion scouts did a ranger pt test and if you failed the 5 mile twice (once during your tryout and if you fail it, one a month later) you get kicked back down to a regular line unit. I did my first one in 42 minute. Scouts was an amazing platoon so I started running in my offtime. I figured if I could run 8 miles continuously at any pace I could run 5 miles in 40 minutes. After I did my first 8 mile run I found out I was really good at distance running and started enjoying it. Welp that's my pt story gonna hit a bong and play video games now.

My favorite crossfit champion was a woman who, while quite fit, was perpetually grievously injured. When asked if she got hurt doing crossfit, she said no, because if doing crossfit correctly you never get injured. I guess if you do Army right you never die. mlmp08 fucked around with this message at 00:54 on May 1, 2017 |

It's not "AS" bad anymore. Each company has it's own equipment now. But it's only a squad's worth of equipment. We do have a kick rear end million dollar gym..... But 1SG banned squad level PT due to not enough heart or something. I heard that and the gym is meant for MRW purposes, not for morning PT.

The Navy doesn't have any PT award but my unit gave me a shirt that says OUTSTANDING PRT on it and volunordeered me to the fitness leadership class and running PT. We don't do any crossfit type stuff because if people do a few burpees they fall over. I got a 90 on everything on the APFT for a transfer package can I get a gay badge via correspondence?

Burpees always hosed me up with the rapid change from jumping to going down into a pushup and back up . Left me light headed after a few so I always hated them. Best platoon leader for PT I ever had jumped through the bullshit and hoops to get us pool PT once a week. If you think running is good try pool running in like chest high water, that will make your muscles loving scream the day after while not turning your knee cartilage into a fine paste.

spinal injuries are so fuckin weird. Day 2: impossible to put shoes on, barely make it to work. Day 9: still can't do PT but can walk around ok. Kind of. Endure pain. Day 14: can hide injury enough to get orders and escape the eye of SRP clinic. Day 16: if you don't work out, return to day 2, do not pass go. If you've been working out, enjoy nirvana levels of release from back pain. The days here are more or less made up but largely true to life over my last several flare ups that didn't require a neurosurgeon. I'll probably go running tomorrow. I might be an idiot.

Four months later it finally didn't hurt too much when I put on my boots or sat down to take a poo poo. I said nothing at DEMOB because I'd already accepted a new job and didn't want to rot in a WTU for a year.

mlmp08 posted:spinal injuries are so fuckin weird. My boss (army man in his 50's) was dealing with same issue. Went in for MRI (two bulging discs in lower back), went and did surgery (they went in through his back and "shaved off" the two bulges till the disks were flush with the spine again). He is a new man. No pain. No problems. It's amazing (I've known him for years). Although now if you try and ask him to do physical stuff he just laughs at you because screw messing it up again.

Running actually doesn't bother my bulged discs (in fact I usually feel better after). Now, deadlifts and squats? Absolutely. I basically can't do anything fun at the gym anymore and am relegated to doing lunges and body squats with kettle bells if I want a leg workout.

That's how it was at Bragg and honestly even though I'd much prefer to go to the gym for morning PT it's easy to see why its banned. There simply isn't enough square feet of gym space to have thousands of swinging dicks coming in to do dumbbell curls and ABZ. That, and the Brigade Commander/CSM would be upset that their morning gym PT with all their senior leadership buddies is being disrupted, of course. Seconding pool PT, though, especially when the sun comes up after PT is over so you get to shiver your balls off and get ripped as hell.

Yeah if your discs are already compromised to begin with any spinal loading is going to massively exacerbate it. Which is lovely, since building up your core (isometrically, not dumbshit sit-ups) and posterior chain through exercises that produce progressive overload can actually prevent a whole lot of back problems later on in life. And that's besides the natural side effect of gradually refining technique with both, which teaches you proper breathing/bracing as well as body mechanics.

A reverse hyper is amazing. You can actually fix your back. If your unit gym doesn't have one, try and get one. http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-reverse-hyper-2?prod_id=6315&gclid=CP_cnb6Fz9MCFUc2gQodfUUO3g

Physical therapy definitely helped after I hard core re injured it last year, but it didn't resolve the ongoing minor pain. I think we have one of those reverse hyper machines at my gym. I'll give it a shot.

mlmp08 posted:I went rock climbing over the weekend and 2 one hour sessions has made my back feel better than 2 weeks of physical therapy. Bodies are weird. Eh, not that weird if you understand the underlying concepts involved. Something as simple as using your body in the kind of natural movements it evolved for over hundreds of thousands of years can do wonders. You end up using every major muscle in your back and arms responsible for pulling plus all of the little stabilizers and synergists like the sock of muscle around your scapulae, and the stretching and decompression of your spine probably didn't hurt either. Proper biomechanics coupled with attention to balancing opposing muscle groups can make an eye-opening difference in both heading off future problems and solving or alleviating present ones. E: Besides, y'know, not doing dumb Army poo poo that will gently caress you up regardless.

It works your discs, getting bloodflow around them, and they can actually repair a bit. My doc says that compressed discs are like sponges that you can't get any water (bloodflow) to. And it's the bloodflow that repairs it.

CHICKEN SHOES posted:In what part of the army do NCOs not run pt? Last time I deployed we largely formed individual plans. In Africa the teams were joint forces so it was actually on some weird volunteer status that the other services would show up to army PT. Most mornings it was armies doing army PT and navies and airmen sleeping for another two hours. Most weeks we had a PT day for the whole directorate where you could play Frisbee, football, or futbol. Everyone had to show for that, but another couple of days a week our sections leadership wanted NCOs running PT for bullet points. It got resisted down to once a week, but it was still worthless army PT that everyone hated.
