psydude posted:I've been doing some pretty intense power-lifting (squats, DLs, DB bench/incline/military press) over the past 3 months along with non-running cardio. I don't mind running, but it really just takes up too much time at this point in my life (I only do long runs about once a week now). For those of you in this routine, what kind of trainup do you do for your PT test (applies mostly to Army and Navy guys, I suppose)? I've got one in April, so I'm about two months out at the moment. For the run, lots of people I know of had success with sprints. I used this one: rounds x distance (meters) / target time / rest interval 8x200 48-50 2:00 5x400 1:48-52 3x interval 8x200 45-49 2:00 3x800 3:42-52 3x int 5x400 1:44-49 3x int 8x200 44-48 2:00 5x400 1:39-45 3x int 3x800 3:23-32 3x int 5x400 1:34-40 3x int 5x400 1:30-36 3x int 3x800 3:13-22 3x int 8x200 38-44 2m 3x800 3:04-14 3x int

Otto Skorzeny posted:What's fish oil supposed to do? My gf's grandma gives her the stuff every time she sees her. At Christmas, she gave her two bottles of fish oil caplets, plus another bottle labled as Vitamin E that was clearly full of more fish oil caplets For exercise/diet purposes -control inflammation -promote fat oxidation -inhibit fat storage and a bunch of other "general health" benefits. Unless you eat a lot of fatty fish its hard to get outside of supplements. Its kind of like that acai berry nonsense except with actual research to back it up.

Whip Slagcheek posted:So, I'm gonna start wearing a mouth guard at the gym because I've noticed I clench my teeth on heavy squats. Can't wait to look like an rear end in a top hat. Under Armour and some others sells a "performance mouthguard" if you want to really go for the "that guy" look. http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/pid1223503-960 For what its worth the two people I know who had them said it helped a lot.

Christoff posted:Goons stick to weight lifting because muscles get chicks. Each gym is different. There's no franchise really outside of writing a check each year for the name. The lack of HQ control also means gyms are free to be better if they want to be. If the gym looks like the main site as far as workouts go I think its a waste of money.

The Casualty posted:I'm a reservist and also one of those retards that actually enjoys running. Tabata is 8 intervals of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off of all out sprinting effort. The actual exercise is up to you. Sprints, burpees, various lifts (compound generally considered better), whatever.
