Just keep doing legs consistently and eventually you won't have terrible agonizing pain all the time. Also, do stuff you probably can't: -Stay hydrated -Get a lot of sleep (yeah right) -Keep eating that protein (jack links, whey, tuna MREs)

Oh, I'm never too sore to work out the next day...I just hate the horrible agony I go through every Wednesday/Thursday. I'm pretty sure the sleep thing is where I get screwed the worst. I consume more protein than is probably necessary; the sacrifices we make to get SWOLE. I'll definitely give stretching more a try. I do stretch quite a bit, but I'm sure I could always do more. In other fitness related news, today there was a man who: 1. Gelled his hair for the gym 2. Grunted his most manly grunt with each and every rep of each and every set 3. Kept his music blasting between sets so when he talked to his friend he had no idea that he was broadcasting himself to the entire free weight section There should be a rule that you can just hit these people. With no warning.

Goons, I beseech thee; I've been sandbagging for too long and I need help. My last record APFT was 46 pushups, 15:30 2-mile, and like 74 sit-ups. I used to get 290s-300s no sweat but I've become a disgusting fat body. What can I do to improve my pushups and 2-mile? It seems like I lose my pushups if I'm not working on them literally every single day.

I finally gave in to see what the big fuss everyone is making about Jack3d. Next thing i know I'm in the gym for 3 hours and did 10 reps of 135, 10reps of 185, 8reps of 205, and 6 reps of 225.... I usually never go pass 205. Then dumbbell pressed 65, 75, 85, and 95 at reps of 9, 9, 8, 5. That poo poo is like loving crack.

Little less than a month out from my record APFT. I've started incorporating push-ups and a lot more ab work into my lifting days and have started doing longer runs. I'll probably start mixing in 400-800 meter work this week or next week.

Run a 400m sprint, and than walk for the same period of time it took you to run it. Repeat 4-8 times (work your way up to 8). Try to set a pace that you can keep for each sprint.

I do sets of 40 push ups throughout the day and I videotape for form (paranoid). For sit ups, I do captain chairs and inclined sit ups. People I know said that the captain chairs helped them a lot.

People I know said that the captain chairs helped them a lot. I wouldn't sweat the perfect form too much anymore. There will probably be some dickhead NCO at your BOLC that will give too much of a gently caress about it, but after that nobody will care. Not that you shouldn't be meeting the standard, but it's nowhere near LDAC levels of dumbness.

People I know said that the captain chairs helped them a lot. Weighted sit ups or similar always helped me with normal situps, plus it cuts the tedium / tailbone murder of endless bodyweight sets. Also you can scale it heavier instead of longer as you get stronger, and it will translate into endurance gains.

So while at ALC I been attempting to bulk up. Day after day of 3 meals at the chow hall, tuna/protein shakes in between meals, junk food whenever I do, a med pizza every night. I gained only 2 pounds and lost some definition in my abs. What the gently caress? This is horse poo poo. I blame all that hardcore PRT. But my bench did go up like crazy.

I only get 2 meals a day and my final meal of the day is breakfast, which is notoriously carb heavy. It sucks balls. I have to eat the same 2 things every day. No dietary variety makes Rrail something something..

Medium pizza does not translate into definition in your abs. Cut that out. rrail posted:I only get 2 meals a day and my final meal of the day is breakfast, which is notoriously carb heavy.

Protein shake after lifting. Every. Single. Day. Chow hall food makes me sad. But hey, I look great! I think a portion of the cash I made on this deployment is going to go to making my own crossfit garage gym. It doesn't look like it would be THAT expensive (especially when you have a large amount of disposable income sitting in your bank account that will probably otherwise go to beer).

At least for me. If I eat anything remotely unhealthy, I'll look in the mirror the next day and feel like I gained 10 pounds of fat. In reality, I'm probably just crazy and imagining things. Rrail posted:Like how much are we talking? Around a thousand dollars or something depending on what brands and if I buy new. Pretty much just need a couple of medicine balls, a bench, a squat rack, an olympic bar, some weight, and a set of rings for muscle ups. Gonna just make rings out of PVC pipe like how the site says. I havn't done any serious research yet though, so it could be a lot more.

Holy poo poo am I glad we do PT in the mornings. I was testing my pace on the 1 mile Benning track, it's 86 degrees (feels like 89), and gently caress was that hard. Ran a 7:15 but gently caress did that feel a lot harder. EDIT: My phone is full of poo poo, its 83 but after running in New England weather for 9 months it's such a change.

When I'm done with ALC in about 2 weeks it'll be chicken/tuna/protein shakes about 10 times a day like when I was bigger.

Right, but what he's pointing out is that the reason why you're losing definition in your abs from throwing down a medium pizza every night is because it's making you fat, not muscular.

Even clean bulking results in loss of definition. Hence you cut back down and shape the mass you added.
