I came to your channel recently because I’m trying to train for AASLT while here in Hawaii. Your Ruck tips have definitely helped as I’m in the Air Force and need all the help I can get. I’m planning for an October slot this year and will be completing an ACFT this month as my leadership wants to see myself and the others interested do this test. Thank you for the videos and keep up the great work!
You may have already addressed this….but if we are struggling to meet the “week 1” standard of the 13 week program, do you suggest to repeat it until we get it right? Thanks for all you do man……great information!
Hey i know this doesn’t pertain to the video you’re doing here, but I was directed to message you from a youtuber named Team Swartz, i had a question for him on his live stream he’s currently doing as we speak and he told me you would be able to answer my question because he wasn’t too sure. So my question is, If i’m active duty army and still have a 4 year contract left, and i’m also an operator in the 75th Ranger Regiment. What would i need to do if i wanted to get into Marine Marsoc?
Currently in pre rasp rn, all I can say is stay decipined with a diet, stay lean but fit, and run a ton! Do as many push ups, situps, and pullups/chin ups as you can. Learn how to rope climb, and train up to running 5 miles in under 36 mins while still having energy left over, ex a ruck run or an obstacle course. Be mentally ready to adapt and have nothing get to your head. You won't have privacy and remember to respect your Cadre. Look up a ton about Ranger History. OSUT really won't be much compared to RASP.
DO NOT rely on osut to get you into shape! I have an 18x contract and I'm in week 18. So far my run times and general fitness have dropped a little. Came in running a 12:48 2 mile and now it's a 13:30! They let us use the track 1nce a week,twice at the most! Show up with a 280-300 apft and aim to max it. It's on you 100% to keep up your fit ess here. Pt is a joke. Also I lost a lot of motivation. Most of the guys in my PLT are lazy and unmotivated as fuck! Plus the Drills stopped giving a fuck after basic..
I want to go with an 18X contract and become a Ranger straight out high school. I've been watching your videos since last December and changed my training from just weightlifting to a balance of endurance and strength and got my 1MR pr down to 6:48, and just ran 8 miles Friday. Thanks man
I don't know where you are in your timeline, but Ranger and Special Forces are 2 different animals. If you haven't figured it out by now, do some research and make sure your getting the contract you want and not 18X by mistake. TLDR: 18X = Chance at SFAS Option 40 = Chance at RASP
This channels rucking material has helped me cut 15lbs in 2 months to get to my goal of getting into the army to go be a ranger, thank you so much for all the content and insight you provide! It’s a huge dream of mine to be a ranger
I’ve been telling people the same thing… while you’re able, make sure to maximize your training and save the suck for when you have no other choice. Don’t worry about being ripped, or cold-tolerant, or sleep deprived. That’ll all happen when it happens.
Thank you for doing this, Grit! I am retired- 8 years USMC (82-90), Army Reserve 'til 2005. Now a cop in AK. I'm coming up to 59 years old and have trained hard all my military life. I have shoulder and other injuries to contend with, and I have fallen out of shape, + somewhat overweight. NOT liking this "me" at all. I still have a shit-ton of my old equipment and have just started rucking again, watching you and Grunt Proof for advice. I have the heart, I have the desire, I just need to get the OOMPH back in this old carcass.... Do you have any advice for me?
How strong do you need to be to be a ranger? Will normal exercises weighted like push ups, pull ups, and sit ups and practicing rucking get me there? Or do I actually need to strength train with heavy weights? Or will I be strong enough just by training normal exercises with weight.
Keep them coming! It's so hot here, steadily over 100, that it has cut into my pace for running and rucking at a given heart rate and perceived exertion.
I am from Iraqi Kurdistan, I am a candidate for attending Ranger school in USA in October 2022. I am in my first day of the Rangers physical preparation program😊
USAF Captain '86-'93 and lifelong rugby player. I have enjoyed watching your videos they are very well done. Look I don't mean to be a dick, but you have to have proper terminology. Unless you are planning to sing along to some Wayne Newton tune, the warmup where you shift feet back and front is called Carioca.
Should I lose muscle to become a better runner? I’m 6’1” 225 with a relatively low body fat percentage but I’m not great at distance running. Or do I need to just run more over a longer period of time. Can you be muscular and a great distance runner?
My question for you Gritty is the caffeine content high ? I have stopped coffee and chocolate and anything related ? Due to the cancer. I am focused on juices and water ? Even gave up milk .But it it has some in it is it a high dose ? I am going to get there supplements next month as money arrives again ...Thank You !
I’m was actually going through all your workouts I got and was getting ready to go with the 13 week ranger workout just to change up so this video is right there on the money.
You need do add the explosive exercise of backflipping by running up a tree and walking on your hands for 15m. Just for fun. Seen it first hand. Dude went to the top enlisted. I believe 21 years. Ranger the entire time. What a man!!!!
Dude, your previous giveaway video is under attack by an elaborate scam. They're using your channel likeness for a false account to deceive people into thinking they've won the giveaway. Then they want you to send $ for shipping. You weren't clear enough in your video if shipping is free or not and there taking advantage. Your literal subscribers are losing money on your giveaway. You need to take action now!
I really like your videos. I'm a VN era Pathfinder. My knees are gone acording to VA, I don't have anything between my bones. I am determined to come back. I believe that my first step is to reinforce my knees. What exercises would you suggest to build up my knees. Thanks; Chaplain Ringtail Ricky Todd NPA.
I don't mean to take away from any business but Ranger School has 30, 60 and 90 day plans for free on their website. I'd just take that plan and either follow it or tweak it how you'd like. Don't buy these plans like Mountain Athlete when there is free stuff out there. Also, Ranger Regment (not the school) has RAW 4.0 which can be found online for free. Regiment is the fittest unit I know of so follow whatever they are doing.
Aldi's had a great adjustable dumbell set and bench .Got mine for half off .About 90 per dumbbells' and bench . The dumbbells' go from 5 -50 and the bench is very strong and well built .If there is an Aldi's near you check them out ...Great value for beginners like me again ...My ez curl bar disappeared about 30 yrs ago need to re find a used one ... Income is based on a 20 hour part time job plus social security .So I have to buy value and wisely... Currently they are offering a door hanging tricep rope pulldown . Thanks for the motivation gritty. 62 yr old 11b trying his hardest here ...So follow Gritty he knows and keep your discipline up...Do not skip the skip !
I been working out without any sups besides multi vitamin, I need to try out some of these pre-work just worried about it cause I'm on high BP meds although my BP is at normal healthy range.any thoughts with that being said?
I'm really curious about that pre workout. Gonna have to look into it. I tried a few different ones recently. Total war, we go home, pump serum, all seem to have little to no effect.
did it and this workout works! I passed my fitness exam but sadly I failed the land nav! I plan to go back in about a year so that's plenty of time to be ready!
I'm honestly new to lifting weights so I've been trying to really focus on form with lower weights and from there hopefully slowly work up to higher weights. I've just always been a cardio bunny so it's been a huge change.
Had the same issue when joined a weightlifting club after first work through with the trainer had difficulty moving tbe next day... thought doin plenty of cardio and using weight machines at gym meant I'd be good to go... Oops!!!
This is great! I’m currently getting ready for civil affairs selection, and I know that this is a ranger school workout, but do you think that it would still be a good workout plan to get ready for selection?
Again, so glad you are back. I so appreciate your great videos. You give us motivation and show us an achievement level we may not otherwise see. Thank you. The army is lucky to have you. My "Nobody Cares" shirt is my favorite.
Hey man I love your videos and I appreciate all the tips you have shared to get ready for Ranger school. Quick question tho, how good of a swimmer do you need to be for RASP/Ranger school and any recommendations on what techniques you’ll be using. I’m not a terrible swimmer but I don’t know how long I can tread water for and was wondering how long to do they actually make you swim for? Thanks again and keep up the awesome work brother!
You don’t have to be a great swimmer at all, just be able to survive in the water. CWST is only a portion SOF a day at RAP week, and the headrest part is the dunk and ditch (where you need to remove your gear under water).
![Yailin La Mas Viral, @kreizyk.official - Dale 2 (Remix) [Video Oficial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JaYHBzgqz94/mqdefault.jpg)
I bought the Ranger School training program. 10/10 would recommend. It’s freaking challenging though if you’re like me and suck at running.
💪
So I'm currently switching from reserves to active duty and you and FNG Academy are two of my favorite channels to watch for motivation!
🤘
Thanks for the information. A new workout program is always appreciated
Nice to see the warm ups you do and an example of the programs you offer. Keep it up!
13:01 I got one of those, it's true that it's very good for biceps curls.

Hey brother I sent you a DM on IG. 👍
I’m leaving sep 5th with a 11x contract with option 40 attached, your channel is a huge help for prep.
Good luck!
bro no way i leave sept 6th with an 11x op 40 as well
get the plan bud, it's a small investment but 100% worth it!

Get a plan that you think will challenge you but also will be manageable. DO it. No excuses.
@@GrittySoldier ON IT! Thanx man!
Good shit old timer!also thanks for paving the way for us newer military personnel!
@@gggggggggg44100 Thank you, Tyrell! It was my pleasure!

Texas perhaps.Down here in Houston it's been 100 plus the past month.Finally this week we've got a cool down
I am from Iraqi Kurdistan, I am a candidate for attending Ranger school in USA in October 2022. I am in my first day of the Rangers physical preparation program😊
Would this be good for training for RASP as well?
YES! Absolutely!

I could really use those supplements thank you have a great day
I have been working on consistency first, just getting outside to work out is hard enough some days.
I got around 70 days until I leave for a 12b option 4. at 31 and out of shape it's a challenge to get right so this is helpful
Should I lose muscle to become a better runner? I’m 6’1” 225 with a relatively low body fat percentage but I’m not great at distance running. Or do I need to just run more over a longer period of time. Can you be muscular and a great distance runner?
You can do both, it’s just going to take a lot of time. More than likely you’ll lose some mass, but just keep lifting heavy and you’ll maintain most
My question for you Gritty is the caffeine content high ? I have stopped coffee and chocolate and anything related ? Due to the cancer. I am focused on juices and water ? Even gave up milk .But it it has some in it is it a high dose ? I am going to get there supplements next month as money arrives again ...Thank You !
Yes the caffeine is pretty high, 300mg. I like pre workout but I usually only take it before the mid-part of the day.
Appreciate the content. This training is gold!
This is pretty good timing since I'd been looking at the Military Prep program just a few nights ago.
Funny seeing you here! I remember watching your Far Cry 2 playthrough years ago! Hope you're well!
Son leaves on 29 Aug w/18X contract. We’ve been following you for awhile and gleaned a lot. Cheers Gritty!
Hey man you might have already said this but just curious, what’s you height and body weight right now?
6’ 190lbs (ish)
Great information in this video
Glad to see you producing videos again. As former military I understand that sometimes the demands might make that impossible. Thank you!
Ps God Bless America...
Is there any reason as to having both clean pulls and military presses versus clean&presses?
To put more emphasis on the press itself, rather than as a complex movement. This will build more shoulder strength.
I bought the Air assault prep program it was amazing I had a breez at air assault school
Awesome to hear man! Congrats!
need some good supplements
Love the workout
Hello,
I would like to respectfully note the possibility that you might not understand hong long 50m are.
Thabks ofr the vid.
Appreciate your work 💯
I train one elk at a time 😁
I’m was actually going through all your workouts I got and was getting ready to go with the 13 week ranger workout just to change up so this video is right there on the money.

Also, Ranger Regment (not the school) has RAW 4.0 which can be found online for free. Regiment is the fittest unit I know of so follow whatever they are doing.
Never heard them called "karaokes" before, growing up they were called "grapevines." Now I'm wondering if thats a regional nomenclature thing.
just downloaded Sua Sponte by Dick Couch. you guys are incredible. thank you
Get it!!!!
I’ll be requesting ranger school for my next reenlistment and will be doing your 13 week train up for sure! Happy 4th by the way! HOOAH! 🇺🇸🫡

Posting this for free shows how much he wants people to succeed
I absolutely want people to succeed!
I leave for ROTC advance camp in a few days which is basically ranger school 😉so I'm glad to try this once or twice before leaving
nice
Dude
One of my favorite channels…you’re doing good work and helping a lot of people. Really appreciate it.
Love the strength plan! It's so hard to both build endurance in running and rucking while also getting stronger. Love the great work, thanks a ton
I been working out without any sups besides multi vitamin, I need to try out some of these pre-work just worried about it cause I'm on high BP meds although my BP is at normal healthy range.any thoughts with that being said?
Love this channel, it has helped so much!

Never quit!!
Look forward to every video, great training!!
I had always enjoy AMIN.O recovery and pre work out, but I definitely want to try the pre workout you are trying.
I'm honestly new to lifting weights so I've been trying to really focus on form with lower weights and from there hopefully slowly work up to higher weights.
I've just always been a cardio bunny so it's been a huge change.
💪

Aww yeah, another Gritty Giveaway! Love the content that you're putting out
Been in a funk recently with PT. Haven't felt motivated. But, after seeing this I want to crush my workouts! Thanks!
That tip on tapering off the supplements 2 weeks out from Ranger School is huge, thanks for that!
👍
Starting IBOLC soon. Glad I have your videos to help set me on the path to success💪🇺🇸
How are the flavors with the pre workout? Like the fact that they are veteran owned!
Very informative video. What's the difference between shoulder press vs incline bench? Is it just the angle of the bench?
Mainly the angle yes, the incline bench works more the upper part of the pectorals (along with shoulders and triceps)
This is great! I’m currently getting ready for civil affairs selection, and I know that this is a ranger school workout, but do you think that it would still be a good workout plan to get ready for selection?
Absolutely. We also have a SFAS program, which translates well into CAAS and/or POAS as well.
Awesome, thank you! Will be checking that one out for sure
Awesome, thank you! Will be checking that one out for sure
Been doing a selection workout but might try this once I’m finished
How are winners notified?
In the last video of the series, in the community section on YT, and also on IG! 👍
Probably a dumb question, but can it be done in addition to morning PT?
Again, so glad you are back. I so appreciate your great videos. You give us motivation and show us an achievement level we may not otherwise see. Thank you. The army is lucky to have you. My "Nobody Cares" shirt is my favorite.
Just came across this on Instagram and already hooked. Thank you
Just finished this workout today, super simple to do but definitely a good challenge.
What are you qualifications to train people?
Thanks for another great video! I like addition of the skip in the warm up. Inspirational as always!
For the algorithm ✅
My man!
Hi. Can you tell whats your weigh and high
Already got the workout plan. Love it !

Good video. I hope I win the free giveaway.
Good video, looks like a good program. #NeverSkipYourSkips 👊

Another great video. Thank you sir!
I'm trying to get a ranger slot and I think these videos are really good.
Great workout!

You motivate me man to keep my discipline in my workouts, thank you.

Oh wow that’s legit!
