It's hard to take your 'I'm so tough' stance seriously when you have a yellow bird on your chest laddey.

 

[Thorwyn]

FL Colonel: Marine, what is that on your body armor?
Private Laddey: A yellow bird, sir.
FL Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Laddey: I don't remember, sir.
FL Colonel: You wear a yellow bird on your body armor. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Laddeyr: No, sir.
FL Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Laddey: Yes, sir.
FL Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Laddey: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
FL Colonel: The what?
Private Laddey: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.

Looks OK.

Wish I was 18 and had no responsibilities!

 

[soze]

I tried last night i can dead lift and bench press a lot but i could only do 2 pull ups. Guy at the gym said its not unusual they are not every day muscles and apparently anyone who climbs is suited to pull ups. But he though he could have me doing 10 in a month so i think 4 for a entrance test is not too bad. Also I think you used to have to do pull ups to get into the police force but that has prolly been changed now with positive discrimination et al.

 

[Laddey]

I'll see how many i can to at the jim tonight.


I reckon atleast 15+ in one set. Easy.

 

[Access Denied]

Actually it's hard to take him seriously not because he's got a yellow bird on this chest but because unless I'm badly mistaken he's wearing a women's top!

 

[Chronictank]

Yeah the smoking isn't a problem.

It's actually getting into shape, for example..

I personally dont think i can reach my maximum potential in cardio or any sort of fitness without somebody screaming/shouting/egging me on.

I couldn't peak without having to be pushed over the edge, i couldn't train MYSELF fit enough, solo.

Didn't you miss out on the army because of health reasons though?
Surely if that is the case this is somewhat of a bad idea

Subluxing shoulder it was, kept falling out of joint.


Strengthened the muscle around it though and its all right now!

 

[Fafnir]

My grandad was in the legion for 10 years entered in 1935 or something went thru WWII, went a bit quirky, came home re joined the swedish military, when he died and we went thru his "hidden" garage we found 30 different kind of rifles, autmatics etc, dynamite that was sweating, gunpowder, so had to clear out and call bombsquad. When one of the guys went to take a piss behind a tree he came back pretty shook up having found antipersonal mines put up in the trees around the house. He lived quite isolated so guess thats why none died in an explosion...

Did you try the pull ups after other exercises?

Bench and dead lifts are both power exercises, they use a lot of different muscle groups and will leave you feeling tired.

For a wide grip pullup you need strong lat muscles (upper back), biceps, and strong forearms for grip. The dead lifts would have fatigued your forearms heavily.

If you did a warm up of cardio and then did pull ups, then I think you could easily have doubled your 2 to 4.

Cardio warm up is baaaaad. If you do a mix of weights and cardio, you should always do cardio last

 

[Ch3tan]

Nope, matter of opinion. A real cardio session is 40 minutes minimum, doing 10-20 minutes of intensive cardio before your workout does no harm, it just gets the blood to your muscles and makes you less likely to injure yourself.

I did 2 then did the other lifting then did 2 again i could feel them burn they are just something i don't normally do. I think I could do 4 with the right motivation.

 

[Sparx]

So 6 pages in people are starting to realise that 4 isnt quite as easy as say 4 press ups

*smug*

And yes Toh that is supposed to be smug this time *thumbsup*

 

[Dukat]

The "basic standards" of any orginisation which has to recruit from the great unwashed public is almost always going to be fairly low.

I managed 14 heaves at Selection, long before I started basic training, that said, there were people who rocked up to basic hardly able to do 5 who were happily doing triple that by the end of just 14 weeks of training, so the baseline isn't really that much of a good indication of how hard something is.

Try looking at how many start and how many finish and you'll find a better indication as to the difficulty, but even then its not as black and white as that (hopefully Sparx will back me up on this), even within training establishments there are 'tougher' troops than others, tougher times to join, changes in training programs and other things which mean it's really quite hard to approach something like this and say "That's easy because of..." or "That's nails because of...".

Just thought I'd throw that out there

Cardio warm up is baaaaad. If you do a mix of weights and cardio, you should always do cardio last

I was about to say the same. Cardio before a session is a nono, in any case, its better after it (well a little 3-5min cardio on the rowing machine as a warmup is good).

Pull ups, all the variants for the different muscles (back, biceps and triceps) is the way to go for the end of a session. Try to make a series of pulls-up "till you fail" with very small breaks inbtwn, like 10-8(7)-6(5)-4(3)-2.... Your muscles will get pumped with a lot of blood and its the perfect way of finishing your work out session

Heh ^^ Did you have the possibility to keep all the guns? I think in Germany you can keep certain guns if you inherit them and show them to the police or so.

 

[Lethul]

Why is cardio as warmup bad? I have always done it . 10-15~min running.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's not lethul, but a massive cardio session (so over 40 mins) will burn a lot of calories, and you will not have the same energy levels when you push your weights.

It's a contencious point in weight lifting, and no one can really justify either way. After a work out for example, you should be getting your protein fix and eating, not doing cardio. Most agree it's better to simply do a separate main cardio session in the morning, and train weights in the evening.

Or in the inbtwn days, whenever my job allows me i use to do:

Monday: Pectoral+biceps
Tuesday: cardio
Wednesday: Back+triceps
Thursday: footy (cardio)
Friday: Shoulders+forearm
Saturday morning: footy (cardio)

Im away from the protein fixes if you were talking 'bout protein shakes. Never liked it much cuz it makes your body bulkier, plus the farts..... my gf kicked me out of bed once because of it
