I've been fighting a losing battle at work starting from the day I got here 2 years ago about how we stock the snack fund we have here. We normally have the most junior airman make the runs to the commissary, but I refused to buy all of the candy bars, chips, pop tarts, soda, ice cream, and hot pockets that they normally get. My reason being that we're in a career that requires us to be in shape, and I'd be doing a disservice to everyone else if I were to buy poo poo like that.

I even offered to go buy healthier snacks in place of the normal crap. They decided they'd rather have the junk food and kept the other guy on shopping duty.

And after all my bitching, they decided to add a box of granola bars and a case of diet soda to the shopping list. Thanks guys.

The snack bar isn't there to make you eat healthy, it's there to turn a profit.

I always found it funny how the higher ups promote fitness and health, yet stock the dining halls with utter trash. Maybe it's some kind of clever tactic to weed out stupid people by fattening them up and destroying their career with a single PT failure. Easier than waiting for all the dumbasses to get a DUI or sexual assault I suppose.

It's almost like perception is more important than results...

Paleo is the loving dumbest bullshit. The loving book admits that they don't even know what cavemen ate. It's a low carb diet justified pseudoscience. There was a picture on W&W that had a flow chart that said something like "did someone have to kill it? was it found in a nest?" If they just said "eat whole foods and complex carbs" it would be OK. Then you have the hardcore advocates saying that grains are the root of all diseases...yeah because cavemen lived such long, healthy lives didn't they?

He was kind of stumped when I mentioned that cavemen died out.

I have doors, but the frames are all trimmed in white, and at my last place, my roommate had one of those frame bars, and the padding marked up the doorframe pretty bad.

I do get to the gym 4 or so times a week, so I'll start throwing pull-ups in whenever I can.

Wrap the padding in duct tape.

I just barely hit 4. I used to be able to do 8. Time to get stronger/lose a bit of weight.

We had a PTL that levied some kind of challenge...I don't remember, it was something like if anyone in the group could beat him at pull-ups we wouldn't have to run or something. Some guy jumps up there and does about 15...I was impressed, he didn't even slow down until he was over 10. Then the PTL gets up there, gets to 12 and is really struggling. Then he stops, looks around, smiles, and breaks 20 without slowing.

How does CrossFit compare to a program like p90x? p90x currently seems pretty convenient for me as I can do it at home, but the cardio seems a bit light. Currently supplementing it with lots of running on the side and it seems to do the trick. From what I've heard being able to run fast and often is the most useful skill in the military, but this advice is coming from folks who don't exactly look like they do a lot of cardio.

Also I drank skim milk growing up as a kid =P

P.S. Another vote for dumbbells, they are great.

Crossfit is vastly superior. People who do P90x consistently come up short is both smugness and elitism, and completely fail at turning their facebook page into a lovely advertisement full of poor grammar and spelling. Crossfit is really good for combining all these aspects into a cohesive package that nobody gives a poo poo about except your Crossfit bros.

I have poo poo technique and I know it. I was ok at swimming as a kid, but in the past 15 years I think I've done normal swimming like 3 times. I couldn't believe I was having a hard time in the swimming test for scuba...it should've been cake. Fortunately the pool there is half urine, so I had good motivation to avoid drowning.
