    Crossfit vs Bodybuilding to prepare for marines

    hi everyone,

    so what do you think prepares you the best? best training to join the navy (dutch)?
    lets say for each of those 3/4 times a week.
    and besides that some running and some swimming on the other days.

    and what about supplements using during these training? i am not really a fan of bcaa and whey and everything, now i am just eating lots an good food, and get my proteins through quark and chicken...

    push ups, pull ups and endurance running.
    that is about the extent of it, you'll do a ton of pull ups, sit ups, push ups, mountain climbers, bends and thrust.
    the 5 or 10 mile run thou. you'll hurl if your not prepared for it. so start running, once your graduate, then body build if you want.
    but it may have changed since i was in.

    Forget 'supplements.' Forget bodybuilding training. Forget 'crossfit.'


    I have no clue about the specifics of the requirements of basic training for the Dutch Navy, but military is pretty much military wherever you go.

    This for the most part. ^

    Look into Stew Smith's routines. Or personally I like something closer to the following when I prepare for my bi-annual tests during the last 6 weeks or so.
