Look...enough already. For a college kid you aren't too smart.

Don't worry if it gets on someone's nerves enough. Suffice it to say IT HAS

You have already been given direction by MORE than one QP on this thread and been given a considerable amount of leeway and tolerance. We aren't asking you to please use the search function. We are TELLING you to USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.

Now, RE-READ ZonieDiver's post, comply with it, and READ MORE - POST LESS.

Your thought processes are back-asswards - correct them.

Based on your actions here thus far, my honest opinion is that you would be a much better asset in a Marine Corps rifle squad than an ODA.

Follow the board rules, graciously accept the advice given by the QPs, and be respectful to others here, as a guest should be.

Searching before posting or starting new threads and being polite to others are non-negotiable requirements on this forum. Your habit of posting before searching and demanding personal attention is disrespectful of our time and reflects laziness on your part.

You choosing to ignore this will result in the loss of this board to you as an asset. We don't give a lot of second chances here, make the most of it.

Best of luck.

I think it will make you look like a gurl.

Were you referencing the girl or her ankle weights?

How useful would you say wearable weights/weighted clothing is for training?

I don't think the ex would have learned to stay on the bottom of the lake without them

Stay in you're lane and ratchet down. The last thing a QP Warrior Mentor needs is me backing them up.

I'm doing it anyhow, out of Duty, Respect and Honor. Don't you ever call my Warrior Mentors anything but that.


Im a Soldier in school too. You know nothing about our Army. This is what you get from me and nothing more. You need to plan / execute and study. You want to be a real good Soldier, then have thick skin. You can start out by showing some respect. Get shit hot in you're rucking and land nav. Try to be over 300 in you're PT. Have respect and square away. My last PT score was well over 300. Be a Team player and work you're ass off for two years and study why "it's not just about kicking doors in" and you might be ready.

Take from it what you will..

Bench Press- 15 x 100- 5 x 240 or more. Max out low reps..
incline Bench Press-14 x100
military press-10 x 125 / 150
up right row-14 x 150
Barbell curls-15 x100
Dumbell curls-15 x 15 /25/ 35 / 45 / 65 Max out low reps..
Sandbag squat with dumb bell out in front- 15 x holding the top of heavy dumb bell and squat.
Deadlift with barbell -10 x 150 5 x 200
Front squat to Push UP Miltary Press -10 x 100
Dumbbell Flys on bench- 9 x 45

Strength is never a negative. Lack of flexibility is. Strength & Speed Equals Power.If muscles are not used to their maximun length, they will shorten which over time will lead to back injuries or groin pulls.Increased flexibility and proper stretching will improve a Soldier's speed and agility to Fight and Lead. Carry on..
