Completed a goruck challenge in New Orleans this past weekend. We ended up going 21.63 miles in 11 hours. Carried a log, swam through a swamp (that we discovered had alligators after the fact), and did some wacky poo poo on bourbon street. If you ever wanted to hang out with some bad mother fuckers sign up for one and go for it. We were drinking beer the entire time and going nuts.

All it really takes to approach any hot yoga girl is to already be relatively athletic and coordinated, so that you don't come off as some creeper that is only there to stare at crotches. Needless to say I'm going back this fall. this made my morning!

I've been doing crossfit for a while and did a regular heavy lift day yesterday and it was super fun an rewarding. I think I'm gonna lift at least 2 days a week now and crossfit 1 or 2 depending on how I'm feeling. Also my numbers were terrible so I want to get strong again.

Christoff posted: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 thing is, you can still do whatever you want. I don't give a gently caress if there's a workout that's 30 snatches in a row and then 30 heavy deadlifts. I'll either make the weight lighter so I can do it right, not do the workout at all and do my own thing, or just take my sweet rear end time. There are 3 dudes (out of about 140 members) in my gym who I give utmost respect and they all do the same thing. I consider my monthly membership fee to be equipment and space rental. There's just an added perk of someone coming up with workouts for me because I'm especially lazy.

Kaliber posted:This girl from my unit said she isn't going to fall for my lines to get into her pants.... Fast forward a few weeks I told her I would do a few runs with her and signed up for one. Then encouraged her to do a marathon and somehow agreed to it too.... I'm 100% positive I'm getting laid as soon as I see her.... But I'm also running 26 loving miles... I ran the 5 for the ranger thing and almost died...... Now I have to run that and 21 more... The poo poo i do for pussy. But you ran that 5 balls out. I doubt you'll be doing a 7 minute mile pace for the marathon. So long as you don't burn yourself out, a marathon is easily doable. Especially if sex is on the line.

When I was a CFL I routinely saw fatties lose upwards of 50 lbs only to still be overweight and have their bodyfat (according to the tape) go up. These guys just happened to lose a lot of fat in their neck area so the measurement decreased drastically in that area and not so much around the gut. I usually passed these guys because I can tell when someone is trying and when someone is a fat piece. I worked with this one kid who was all, "I lift cause I want to be strong. I don't need to be fast or skinny." Yeah, sure dude, you're still fat and you're not that strong.

Kaliber posted:Drank a 18 pack, haven't slept in 3days, and did a 5k this morning. Got a lovely time of 25:14 because I ran out of steam 2.3 miles into it. I was doing a 7:45 pace and then just cramped the hell up. Oh well. Back to drinking. Thursday starting at noon I drank 1.5 liter bottle of Champagne, passed out at the gym (I was the only one there, the owner had some errands to run), woke up to finish my workout and drank a guiness while doing it, then I went drinking until the midnight showing of avengers. I fell asleep during the avengers but I'd say I still had a good time. Drunk running and working out is awesome, although I felt like the shittiest poo poo on friday, which is okay because I had the day off. What I'm saying is we need more stories like yours, Kaliber.

Also, any tips on how to strengthen ones shin-bones so I don't have to run like a retard? https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...1mk0JhTdw&pli=1 This is what SF uses as a guide for people preparing for selection. It's a pretty intense program but they have some good advice in there, too. Namely: quote:a. For forced marches, select boots that are comfortable and well broken-in (not worn out). Wear lightweight fatigues and thick socks (not newly issued socks). Army issue boots are excellent if fitted properly.

I like doing heavy front squats and hate doing heavy back squat. Mostly because my back squat is 100 lbs higher than my front squat and having all that load on my back makes me all weird and panicky for some reason. It's easier to bail a hosed up front squat. Either way though, all squats are the best exercises to do.

DoktorLoken posted:What's the difficulty level? Sounds like an interesting challenge and fun way to get some PT in. If you're in decent shape it's not too bad, but by the end your feet will ache and you'll be tired as poo poo. This is assuming your team doesn't suck. If you end up carrying poo poo for your weaker people life gets a whole lot worse. They started offering easier and harder events and they have some fun events, too, like scavenger hunts and things.

I just bought my own setup. I have a bench and adjustable rack (for squats/bench press) along with 45 lb bar, 255 lbs in steel weights and 140 lbs in bumper plates. I also got some kettlebells for christmas and I can workout when the gently caress I want and don't have to deal with anyone. I'm starting this program on Monday. The only things I will have to work around are pullups and box jumps until I can build those out. Also instead of rowing I will just run more.

vacation in kabul posted:I've tried the at-home thing a few times. I always wind up selling or throwing away everything I bought. Just not the right environment for working out for me I guess, if some oiled-up beefy gay guy isn't staring me down in the gay man's temple I just can't get into working out. I like being able to do other poo poo while I'm working out. Instead of sitting there staring at the bar in between sets I'll work on some chores or play with my dog or something. And then I post about it on the internet.

Obviously I have a huge hardon for this company, but they do have lifetime free repairs on their bags. I have a few friends who had the zipper break or have some fabric tears and all they had to do was pay to ship it to the company and have it repaired for free. Then again, I make fat contractor stacks so this poo poo doesn't bother me.

I've done crossfit off and on for around 2 years now and I will come to its defense. With a good coach they will absolutely stop you flat when your form starts to go to poo poo and either make you reduce weight or just quit the workout. This also goes into the "programming" because a good coach won't program wacky poo poo that has you doing nine million snatches. That said, the "certification" process is a complete joke and any chucklefuck can become a crossfit trainer and open their own gym. I've been focusing more on strength lately with cardio maybe twice a week just to keep from getting too fat.
