Men, I was tasked with finding all the information I can about "Gym Jones" ( http://www.gymjones.com). After doing a quick search on these forums, I only found a few results under mark twight:
1. "So who's doing something new"
2."Cross-Fit workout;From Men's Journal"
3. " PT - Bodyweight Only Training"
4. "Kiss or Kill: Confessions of a Serial Climber"
...but nothing for "Gym Jones".
The 2005 kiss or kill thread was a great start to getting an idea of Mark Twight's military involvement, but TR in his infinite wisdom ignorantly shot down the thread, and it didn't go anywhere. So, I'm reintroducing this topic.
Does anyone's units here use gym jones/mark twights methods/workouts to train? His foundational start as a climber/mountaineer must reflect in some physical way in most of his workouts. I believe this would be a great way to train for Astan if he does correlate the two.
" What's unique about Gym Jones isn't the equipment Twight rolls out when workouts are in full swing. Rather, it's the frequently life-threatening nature of the jobs for which his athletes are training. The guy you're spotting or timing has more important things in mind than simply getting a pump. "There are people in there who officially don't exist, if you catch my meaning, but you sleep better because they do," John explains. "It's a whole different world when you're training with folks whose lives are on the line."

Mark has also been a DOD contracter and the internet has little to nothing about his involvement. Can anyone share anything about this?
