What's the difficulty level? Sounds like an interesting challenge and fun way to get some PT in.

Veins McGee posted:ahahahah what a ripoff. You paid $400 for a $50 PX daypack. I have a Camelbak Trizip which is essentially a licensed (And much cheaper in price) clone of the Mystery Ranch assault pack. Fantastic bag on account of the frame that Mystery Ranch designed. Do these Goruck bags even have a real frame?

I consistently stay 5-12 pounds under my screening weight and there are only a handful of fat people in my company. In my brigade though, I recall seeing some guy at AT last Summer that had to be over 300 pounds at maybe 6' tops.  Reminded me of this guy:  although he had a pedostache if I remember right. I mean, I don't give a poo poo if someone is slightly chubby yet still generally fit overall but when you get to the point of being morbidly obese?

I think the patch on the guy on the left is WAARNG, 81st BCT according to Wikipedia.

What about doing lateral pulldowns on a machine after we do our pathetic 4-6 pullups?

What are you doing for HIIT workouts? I hate indoor cardio and only doing it for 5-10 minutes is highly appealing.

I really need to learn more about weight lifting. Pretty much my workout that isn't running sucks and consists of sets of diamond push-ups, rowers, pull-ups, various plank holds along with a few random dumbbell excercises. I don't care about being swole, my only interest is overall fitness (strength, injury prevention, not being fat) and doing better on the APFT. Also for HIIT, how do you gauge effectiveness? I use a HRM and my HR during fast intervals is > 175, sometimes up to 190ish which is above 85% for my age. Since it's cold and icy outside I've been setting the treadmill to 10% incline and running at 8-9 mph (which is the equivalent of running a much faster pace on level ground, 5-6 minute mile AFAIK) for 30 seconds and walking for 1 minute. After the first 3 repetitions I'm feeling pretty lovely.

I've done the stripped 5x5 program that was popular in W&W back in the day which was dead lifts, squats, bent over rows, pull-ups, military press and bench press so I'm generally comfortable with those movements, although gently caress squats forever. I understand the point behind compound lifts but all the strange isolation exercises I see people do, I don't know what the gently caress. Unfortunately my school's gym is cramped and only has one power cage and a few Smith machines which I've always been told are worthless for squats. Plenty of benches for everything else though.

Around 50 SU/PU and 14:40-15:30 seems to be an average run for me. Although I am in the 27-31 age group. Mediocre. I dunno about sit-ups (which is why I've been using the rower because it isolates abs, one would think hip flexors are worked out from cycling/running) but my push-up endurance is terrible. Honestly, I think my form hurts me there because I go chest to floor on every rep when I don't have to. Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Feb 25, 2013 |

So I started stripped 5x5 yesterday. Any suggestions on iPhone apps for keeping track of lifts?

Kaliber posted:This!!! I dunno about a link but I saved the PDF to my desktop when I read it. I can email it to you if you want. So now that I'm doing stripped 5x5, would it be bad to also do sets of rowers/sit-ups and plank exercises afterwards to further workout my abs/core? Also sprints/HIIT after lifting Y/N?

Yeah, same here. Being in a BCT MICO != infantry though. Even if you are infantry, I imagine that working up to rucking 28 miles you know, requires some training beforehand. Honestly though, I'd do it if given time to prepare.

I notice that if I eat a low carb diet to cut weight then eat a bunch of wheat products that I poo poo my brains out afterwards.

There have been studies of keto diets and AFAIK, most of the issues with them are unfounded.

I ran a 10k today with basically no training. It's been about a year since I ran over 3-4 miles and I finished in 1:10 or so today. Being fat and old and not caring owns, but I guess I should start running more again because drat is that slow  Running feels good as hell even if it somewhat sucks with my permanently damaged ankle (have to wear a brace basically all the time to keep it stable). Give it a shot when it's not the military making you do it. Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Sep 22, 2018 |
