in the meantime I'm still doing some exercises, but I can tell I need to go harder and faster. I'm very lucky to know or at least have contact with current and former SF out in meat space. Mostly a former PJ who later did some OGA work whom I've had the privilege of getting to know very well. Based on some of the longer conversations I've had with the PJ it seems as though the primary aspect of my prep should be rucking, rucking, rucking and focusing on refusing to quit no matter how crazy shit gets. Based on what I've read, I know I need to be doing more upper body strength stuff, which is what I seem to be struggling with so far.

I've got some of my own oddball ideas about exercises, but I know enough to know I don't know enough and I'm hoping someone has a clear reference or some suggested reading on the subject. I've heard people drop "Get Selected" and another book on general fitness and exercise techniques focused on MIL/LE, the name of which is escaping me, but if there's a free and actually recommended exercise plan I'd rather start from there and adapt.

Well James character is revealed not created by any fancy workout or G2 to give yourself an edge....

All I did was ruck, run, pushups, situps and pullups the rest was me grabbing my nuts lie a man and giving it my best......all the fancy workouts and advice from GB's will not make you a GB these guys can give you the answer to the test you still have to do it.....

IMO the fact that so many young candidates come on here G2'ng the training with each other shows a character flaw and a lack of understanding of why it is important to let people go through the process alone.....Even when you get to a team your actions will be your own.

It is disheartening the constant gaming of the course no wonder the community is lacking
