Having served in the CAF, cardio, will do more than anything for you, they're going to make you run 5k every morning before breakfast and if you have to stop and pant, you're gonna make everyone else miss their meal. Get good at running chunkers, if you really want to make it, running and shooting are your survival skills, no one cares what you can bench in the armed forces - there are zero combat situations where they are gonna let you take your time to setup, pick your pump up jam, and then adjust your wrist straps 7 times before you even get a lift in.
In my humble opinion, what Dane is pointing out here makes sense: tactical athletes should strive for all-encompassing fitness. A service member that is good at calisthenics, is strong (doesn't need to be power lifter or olympic lifter strong, but can carry or drag a 100kg teammate on their back, on the ground, or on a litter) and has the endurance to breeze through a 5 mile run in under 40 minutes will be a way better asset than anyone who does ultramarathons but can't pass a pushup test, let alone carry an injured teammate. I've seen guys who are 5'4" and 135 lbs all the way up to 6'4" 240 lbs do all that. These are all very attainable goals and that fitness can be gained and maintained at relatively the same time without breaking yourself. Further, Dane's point about dudes not having explosiveness is absolutely on point. Even if you're not actively being explosive doing patrolling, the people who are explosive, flexible and fast (in short, athletic) tend to move better under load in the sticks or through buildings. Those who don't have those qualities tend to be stiff and slow moving through doorways and rounding corners, or coming up from the prone with a ruck on their back. To your credit, shooting is not emphasized enough. All the best shooters have backgrounds in competitive shooting or just shoot a lot on their own time and dime in addition to service-related training. Granted, everything changes depending on your country, branch and your specific job, i.e. if you're staff, service support, or a barrel-chested freedom fighter.
Right, but it’s easier to ruck 15km when you’re strong. It takes less effort to carry things when you’re strong. When you’re strong, everything is easier. Nobody said you’ll have to bench press in war. A barbell is just a tool to increase strength. Build resilience. Or better yet, use a log. Atlas stones. Sandbags. Train for strength and explosive power. AND keep on top of your cardio.
Lifting things is a way to make a muscle stronger. It literally is not more complicated than that. If you're response is seriously "well you don't bench press in war" then you definitely aren't a very bright individual sorry. There's a near infinite number of situations in single day where have stronger muscle fibers are more beneficial than weaker. Not rocket science
For me I don't want to join the military but I want to do military training because I want to know how to survive in horrible situations so I can keep my family safe
Here's What I Say: -25m Underwater Swim: Not Timed -500m Swim Using Combat Sidestroke: 12 minutes minimum and 8 minutes maximum -Another 25m Underwater Swim not timed -10 to 30 Pull Ups: Not Timed -2 Minutes of Air Squats: 70 Minimum and 130+ Maximum -Push Ups: same requirements as the Air Squats -Sit Ups: same requirements as the previous two exercises -4 to 6 Minutes Of Elbow Planking -3 Mile Run: a minimal time of 22:45 and 18 minutes or less for a maximum score. -12 Mile Ruck With A 50 Pound Pack: minimal time of 3 hours. But for maximum points, complete it no later than 2 hours and 30 minutes. -Obstacle Course Twice: complete the first time in 4 minutes and have the second time done no later than 3 minutes and 30 seconds. That's my advice for preparing for Military Fitness. Yes it's 10 events, but practice those exercises religiously working your way to beyond the maximum scores and maintaining them! Also I recommend taking up shooting lessons and Hand To Hand Combat Training in a style such as Krav Maga, Sambo, Combat Hapkido, COBRA, etc. Trust me, regardless of Branch, MOS, Gender, whatever, if you are Stellar With PT, Marksmanship, and Hand To Hand Combat, you will be respected by both of your superiors and peers and you will go far!
I got a 598/600 on my ACFT (highest in my AIT battalion) with barbell movements. The Hex-Bar Deadlift, Standing Power Throw, Hand Release Pushup, & Sprint Drag Carry are literally all improved by barbell work. These are what I used to improve each: Hex-Bar Deadlift: SL deadlift, switch to Hex Bar Deadlift as you get closer to ACFT Standing Power Throw: Barbell Power Clean & Jerk, switch to ball throw as you get closer to ACFT Hand Release Pushup: Incline Bench + dips -> hand release pushups Sprint Drag Carry: high rep front squats or goblet squats -> sled pulls
I’m a holdover for SF so now I have some time before I start the sopc course. I think movements like Carries, sled push/pull, tire flips, and just a bunch of running are great. But also basic barbell movements will help. Me personally I love to add a lot of gymnastic style training with gymnastic rings. And every Thursday we have a 3 mile Ruck, then we drop the ruck and run the same 3 mile route and it all has to be done in under 60 min.
Gotta be a hybrid athlete. Be good at running, pishups, situps/core, walking with 80 lbs on your back for 12+miles. You need to be light on your feet but not so light and thin you cant handle carrying a ton of weight. Run, ruck, calisthenics, and for weiggts just do the big ones. Squat, deadlift, milotary press, bench, and farmers carries.
Hi man Really wanted to subscribe you app to support your work, but the prices are too high, especially for people not living in the US. Still thank you for your hard work
I know I'll neber be abke to join, though i really with i coukd join the military forces n shit. I'll be 17 in a month, and want to do something with ny life but my motjer and the people around me keep telling me to give up and tuat I'll never be able to do anything i want. Because that's what they likento tell me. I'm top of my class, i wanted to go to professionals, auto school, but my mom meber let me do anything with my life, never let me do anything. She jsit kept telling me that im no good. And I'm born in a shit country, Romania, so I'm watching this video, making me want to train more want to enter the military badly, but of course, i can't because i have a toxic and shit family and people always look down on me and pull me down to hell. I'm giving up on everything, whatever happens, happens. I might just quit life before I'm 20..

Exactly

Just found this video, but this channel is a gold mine. I feel like it will blow up fast. This video has lots of high value information.
For me I don't want to join the military but I want to do military training because I want to know how to survive in horrible situations so I can keep my family safe
Based

What about the Plank and 2mi run? How many days a week are you lifting?
@@xNulg PPL 6 days a week(I kind of wish I did an Arnold split instead). Did battery runs 3x a week. Never trained plank because planking is not hard
Great information! Perfect timing as well! Also, love your shirt uso!! 🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸

Hi man
Really wanted to subscribe you app to support your work, but the prices are too high, especially for people not living in the US. Still thank you for your hard work
how many sets for a beginner
응원합니다. 화이팅
I’m more interested in how the Vietcong or Taliban train.
They didn't, but they were good at attaching IEDs to children and having them kindly approach soldiers
They didn’t train themselves physically, they just did heinous shit.
@@James.B.Russellthat is insane to think about. Like wtf. Did you serve in the military??
@NicoleBermz I did (and still do) but I never saw it myself, just heard stories from my senior NCOs.
@@James.B.Russell that's sad and hard steps to kick your b*tt outa Afghanistan
