This is where I'm at in my line of thought. I think most people have an overinflated opinion of how fit soldiers actually are combined with a romanticized opinion of what we actually do.

The...

Officers getting underserved recognition is hardly a new, nor is it gender specific. If this was meant to be pointless bitching it succeeded. If it was meant to be a counter-argument it was pretty...

We've allowed women into the combat arms since 1999 and I've fought alongside a few of them in Afghanistan. Over the years a few were killed in combat and once the media shock of the first female...

Oddly enough, I was a fat 200lb dude who'd be 175 lean and at one point thought I could be a natural 220.

A few years ago I read a different article with the same general premise. Rather than...

I thought the same thing, but it's just the way the lighting is hitting it.

You bumped a 4 year old thread to add that?

If you don't believe in the program then don't do it.

If you're mentally/physically drained after the AMRAP set then you need to get mentally/physically stronger.

Three things I would love to own:

1) Safety Squat Bar
2) Swiss Bar
3) Trap Bar

My pinkies are just inside the rings. I figure it's because my triceps are stronger than my chest.

I think crossfit is going through a maturing at the moment. The original mantra of constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity has been tested in competition and...

For me, consistency over time is the key. I've made progress when squatting/pressing 1x, 2x or 3x/week. Certain methods have led to short term peaks in numbers but they weren't sustainable and I'm...

Watching +60yo grandmothers deadlift more weight than most modern 20yo males can manage was impressive.

That said... watching the form on some of those deadlifts made me puke a little in my mouth....

You probably peaked for the 225. Now you're back down to "normal".

My gym is a military fitness centre. I won't list everything, but highlights are both a bodybuilding room and an olympic lifting area, cardio and conditioning equipment, a 200m indoor track, 400m...

You know that a beginner on a good training program can only put on about 2 lbs of muscle per month, right?

When I was a kid I lived 3 miles outside town and my best friend lived 3 miles outside the other end of town. I never specifically trained endurance but I used my bike to get everywhere and spent...

Pull-up, push-up, dips, squats & lunges, ab wheel, hanging leg raise, back extension and GHR. Planks and sit-ups if I'm forced to do them.

Once you get past a certain point it becomes less about...

I read an article awhile ago where someone broke down the ingredients found in the major PWOs... unfortunately I can't find it and I don't know what I typed in the first time around.

Long story...

I find creatine effective. From what I understand it'll typically allow you to get one more rep out. I find that when I take it the last couple reps require less of a grind than when I haven't take...
