They just moved everyone into new non-student barracks rooms. Before it was pretty poo poo where you shared one room on the upper floor of student barracks with another dude and had no personal space. Nothing more than a microwave. Now they're in these super swanky barracks with their own huge bed, room, and shared kitchenette with oven/stove/full fridge. The MA1 of our command says no one gets BAS because the money goes to our poo poo galley. I was told that wasn't even true and that he wasn't even one to sign-off on the chit. It sucks because BAS is a scam in itself (pay for food whether you eat or not? And who the gently caress spends $325 on food a month?) and the dudes who work night shift get hosed. Wait is this about fitness?

Supplements is a pretty broad term. I think everyone should take fish oil, a multi, and protein at least post workout. Maybe before and in the morning. But not 100 grams per pound of bodyweight like some people. Also I think everyone should take a vitamin-c extract and green tea extract but that's just me. Oh and oxyelite. 8-10 a day.

It's so hard to get the motivation to lift after 12 hour shifts. They sell jack3d at the NEX? No but really was Jack3d and oxyelite really banned for Military personnel? I never got an "official" email nor did we have some mandatory powerpoint training about it. I've just heard it word of mouth.

Yeah, I think the biggest thing is keeping yourself busy. They always say that when you stop smoking you gain weight (not only since nicotine suppresses your appetite) but because you have to keep your hands busy and just end up eating more than normal. Get some healthy snacks, gum (niotine gum if need be), and go workout. For those relatively new to weight lifting and not those bullshit waste of time workouts your command makes you do I highly recommend "Starting Strenght," by Mark Rippetoe. SA link here - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2509212 And I know a lot of you are trying to quit completely it's extra tough when you're in the Military and constantly surrounded by it. "hey, let's go check the weather." Because gently caress, smoking gives you a accumulative hour break by the end of the day. An excuse to dip from work. It's even worse when you're out drinking. Anyways, my e-cigarette fills that void. If I'm drunk and at a bar with friends I can't not go outside and socialize. Let's be honest most of us just smoke for the social aspect. So, if you just can't shake it. Look into an e-cigarette.

Captain Payne posted:Is it possible to take 10g of fish oil a day without spending a ton of money? http://www.dpsnutrition.net/get_item_no340.htm In fact I recommend https://www.dpsnutrition.net for all your supplement needs. Only problem is the interface sucks and sometimes you have to search for the supplement you want by clicking on the manufacture and such. 10g seems like a lot. I guess if you get the Super EPA that's only 5 pills throughout the day, though. It says to take 2 a day. The weird thing is the smaller bottle (120 gel caps) says take 2 twice a day.

Chances are if you think it's banned you probably shouldn't be taking it. Starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu again soon and Muay Thai most likely. I'm a bit intimidated to go to my first Muay Thai class though. I'm a terrible boxer and kick like a girl.

Goons stick to weight lifting because muscles get chicks. Crossfit makes dudes look normal and makes chicks hot. I'm still skeptical of the whole crossfit thing. I mean, can't complain about it getting people to get off their butt. But still. The regiments are just weird and don't seem good for your body in the long-term.

Full Battle Rattle posted:I don't know about eggs, but dairy is probably the worst. Once I gave up dairy I started slimming down dramatically. Also, in "The China Study" milk proteim was what dr. campbell used tp give rats cancer. funnily enough, he had actually set out to prove the opposite (that milk protein was good for you). Then he discovered that the group of rats given the high doses of milk protein invariably gave the rats cancer. It's a seriously mind-blowing book. Wait, what? Dairy is bad for you? Seriously man? I mean don't chug a gallon of whole milk everyday but I'd much rather drink dairy for the health benefits than worry about the possible weight gain it'd give me. Or cancer. Not all fat is bad fat. I drink skim anyways. Also, eat the loving egg yolks guys. It's where all the nutrients are. It's not loving bad for you unless you already have cholesterol issues. Go vegan? What? Bunch of loving girls. Stop worrying about denying yourself from something completely. There's something called moderation. Vibrams own. Telling people who give me poo poo for them to f off owns.

Ya'll a bunch of posers especially you vegans and vegetarians. The only way to truly be pure is to be a "Breathatarian" quote:Breatharianism is a related concept, in which believers claim food and possibly water are not necessary, and that humans can be sustained solely by prana (the vital life force in Hinduism), or, according to some, by the energy in sunlight (according to Ayurveda, sunlight is one of the main sources of prana). The terms breatharianism or inedia may also refer to this philosophy practised as a lifestyle in place of the usual diet. It's how I maintain my swoleness. Then I do crossfit and do 60 deadlifts with absolutely terrible form. Then 150 power cleans with more poo poo form. The gains, bro!

I've mentioned it before but I'm still real skeptical of crossfit. I'm not saying it doesn't make chicks hot (and dudes look normal) or kick your butt. But something about the total randomness of the workout sequence, the lack of some sort of standard amongst gym/teachers/whatever they call them. All that and the fact of doing intense compound lifts at high reps with poo poo form just for the sake of hitting a quota irks me. 45 deadlifts with improper form or whatever? I like my back.

The only way you fail the Navy taping is if you're fat as gently caress. Make all the excuses you want about it being inaccurate or whatever. You're too swole or your abnormally sized neck. But I only ever see the huge fatties fail. Not just the gut dudes.

You should be using the flattest sole possible to squat. I know you guys get all snippy when Vibram elitist act....themselves. But they're really great to squat in. More support is worse for you. I've seen dudes do it barefoot. You might feel like a douchebag but this is better than your $200 new balance  That being said. Nothing wrong with a 2.5 lb plate under your heels. Otherwise you might be leaning too far forward. I have a bum ankle and lost a lot of flexion and don't have troubles. Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Sep 14, 2012 |

Godholio posted:I like all-stars. I'm just saying a lot of people probably think dudes working out in those are douches when they're actually better for lifting than their fancy running shoes. I don't get the middle part of that bar. You should NEVER squat with any kind of paddding/support. Or any kind of machine. Always free weight barbell. Doing squats sucks and it's hard to get the technique down. You're absolutely miserable during the set and almost pass out when you're done. But obviously once you get past that you feel amazing. Watch some youtube videos of people doing it PROPERLY. Here's just a couple tips to keep in mind while squatting. Seriously, run some of these through your head and you'll literally feel the difference instantly. *Feet roughly shoulder width apart *Toes pointed just slightly outward *DO NOT LOOK UP. Common mistake. Always look straight *Back flat *Drive your hips forward. This is probably the most important thing in squatting. *Imagine your standing on a towell and while driving up you're trying to rip the towell in half with your feet *Don't flare your elbows out *Keep your breathing in mind. Once you get your breaths backwards it'll really mess yo up. (in on the way down, out on the way up) *ATG! (rear end TO GRASS) You want to touch your hamstrings to your calves. Or as deep as you can. None of this "stop at parellel" bullshit you learned in High School. (note a lot of people will probably disagree with this, go google for yourself) *Do not bounce up *imaging your squatting to take a poo poo out in the woods. Butt way down. I've been told your knee cap shouldn't go past your toes when squatting but I've also heard that it doesn't matter. Not 100% sure.  oh and this

I'm telling you man. It's the little things in compound lifts that determine if you're going push more weight and possibly injure yourself. They're just so tiring you forget the basics. Just remember to breathe and run all that poo poo I posted through your head.

vacation in kabul posted:edit: Or do that thing Christoff posted, looks like a basic HS football strength training program (which isn't a bad thing). It's called "Starting Strength" and is probably one of the most popular (well known but not like crossfit) introductory lifting programs. It provides a great foundation for whatever your goals are and teaches you the fundamentals and basics of achieving results and proper technique. There's a popular "modified" version that's floating around. Pretty sure there's a thread about it in the fitness forum.
