I dabbled in mountain biking, it's pretty fun but I hated the taint-beating I'd get on some trails.

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.

The best gains I've gotten in almost a decade in the military came from kettle bells. I was normally a runner, however, being on a lovely JCOB put a damper on it. I spent some time using kettle bells while supplementing with P-90X, and came back still scoring over a 300.

Also, no more back pain, ever.

Just doing swings? Or some sick kettlebell workout.

I've decided that running in the cold is always terrible. Also, I hate how quickly cardiovascular fitness fades. You can go 2 or 3 weeks without lifting and jump right back into it. 2 or 3 weeks without running and it's like you've been a pack a day smoker for 5 years with a KFC addiction.

God this. gently caress running

As far as swimming goes I never feel like my legs really do anything on say... any stroke. Is that normal? I feel like no propulsion at all.

Oh okay good info to know, I was feeling pretty lovely about my freestyle. Sidestroke and breast stroke are my best strokes as far as sprinting, but I have to work alot harder with them for endurance than I do with freestyle. I can't butterfly to save my life though.

Yeah I just can't seem to get the hang of that all with the dolphin kick but I'm not swimming for anyone except myself so it's like why bother. It's a great workout even without and I always feel way better than when I lift or run. Eventually when my spine and knees disintegrate and all the cortizone leaks out of my ankles, all I'll be able to do is swim.

gently caress everyone that does crossfit. All the trainers at my gym teach people crossfit, but when they're actually working out they do traditional strength training + cardio. Says a lot about crossfit. Also it's always great when two assholes are taking up a squat rack an incline bench and a flat bench because CROSSFIT!!!!

I never thought I'd agree with you, but this. This entire thing. Crossfit CAN be okay. If you have the equipment. Don't do loving crossfit in a public gym. I can't do my military press in the powercage if you're trying to crossfit in that, fuckers.

with a SGM who "learned it at a Ranger Batt" for a while and I don't think it helped me advance in my lifts or anything and I probably hurt myself once or twice.

This is the biggest problem I have with crossfit as it relates to the military. You get a bunch of morons together who don't actually understand fitness but know THAT THEY GET TOTALLY SMOKED AT THE END OF THESE HARDCORE WORKOUTS and then complete gently caress themselves up and the poor saps they lead and then when you're like 'boy that was completely preventable you're just a loving idiot' they get butthurt about it.

Honestly, everyone should save their dollars and buy a good power cage, oly bar, ez bar, plates, and idk some not-terribly-lovely dialable dumbbells. If you have the space there's no excuse, and you'll probably save a ton of money and time.

also I have yet to go to a gym with enough cages or at least people who don't just do one set then wait 10 minutes texting and lounging around before their next set. These are almost always the same people wearing stupid cut off t-shirts yelling and slamming weights around like dumbfucks.
