It's all about the CF EXPRESS test, where you can do 20 pushups and still meet exemption!

They just moved everyone into new non-student barracks rooms. Before it was pretty poo poo where you shared one room on the upper floor of student barracks with another dude and had no personal space. Nothing more than a microwave. Now they're in these super swanky barracks with their own huge bed, room, and shared kitchenette with oven/stove/full fridge. The MA1 of our command says no one gets BAS because the money goes to our poo poo galley. I was told that wasn't even true and that he wasn't even one to sign-off on the chit. It sucks because BAS is a scam in itself (pay for food whether you eat or not? And who the gently caress spends $325 on food a month?) and the dudes who work night shift get hosed. Wait is this about fitness?

Actually, issuing out food stamps instead of BAS would probably be more effective.

Being forced to pay for lovely food I didn't eat and all the horrible things associated with living in the barracks are the reasons the army has so many divorces. If I ever find myself active duty again, and the army gives gay marriages the same benefits of straight ones, I'm so going to marry one of my buddies. Edit: Hell I'd probably just ask psydude to marry me. Not like he can do any better. Double edit: Yes whip let me in on that sweet sweet pension. gleep gloop fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Feb 7, 2012 |

Speaking of food, Ft Hood (maybe the rest of the army, who the gently caress knows) is now enforcing taking pay for MREs for soldiers. $9 an MRE and if one person gets one, then everyone has to have one and gets the pay taken out no matter what. You can get around this by calling out the gut truck.

So enlisted BAS cover 38 meals? What if you're in the field for two weeks and eat MREs for most of that? Or JRTC?

Full Battle Rattle posted:I don't get BAS and there's no kitchen in the barracks. Your move, LT. This is a dumb idea. Veganism in general is stupid. At least with vegetarian you can still get high quality dairy protein. Vegan has absolutely none. Rice and bean protein is a pretty pathetic source. Protein has a digestibility amount so what you see on the package isn't exactly what you're getting. To give you an idea, egg and dairy protein rank the highest at about 97% and meat/fish falling at around 94%. Rice fall into the range of about 76%, and beans are lower, though I don't know the exact amount. The highest ranking vegan proteins are peanut butter at 94% oatmeal and whole wheat at 86% and all of them are incomplete proteins. Every other vegetable protein falls even lower than these values. Basically what this means is if you eat 100g of protein of eggs, you only digest 98g of it. 100g from chicken is 94g digested. I trust you can do the math for anything else. If you try to meet your protein requirements on a vegan diet, you will get fat. Peanut butter is incredibly calorie dense, and you'd need to combine it with another food just to make the complete protein. The vegan favorite and one of the few complete vegetable proteins, Quinoa, has 8g protein per 1 cup. 1 cup has 222 calories, and you're only digesting 86% of this protein. Let's say you want 50g of protein from that. You're looking at about 8 cups of quinoa, which is 1,776 calories IF you eat it plain, cooked in water. An 8oz chicken breast has 72g (68g accounting for digestibility) of protein and 368 calories. If you don't try to meet your protein requirements, you will shrivel up and become a sad shell of a man as your body eats your own muscle. If a person started a vegan diet being incredibly obese already, then they'll feel fine for a bit because all of their fat will finally be put to use. That's probably the case with that warrant and your friends. Once that's gone, prepare to feel like utter poo poo. And even if they don't feel like poo poo, they probably look like a toothpick, or are incredibly fat. Go to Bodyrecomposition.com and read through all of Lyle McDonald's articles on nutrition before you start some stupid diet like veganism. You'll find that it's absolutely dumb, and pointless. Any diet that will not keep you alive if you had to live off it in the wild with no supplements sucks. That's the #1 rule when picking a diet to follow. Unless you want to ignore the advice and try something dumb. Then you can be like me and waste a year gaining nothing and growing weaker.

Man I'll tell you what: after observing the run portion of a makeup PT test this past weekend where 14 took it and only 5 people pass, it's really motivated me to never wind up like that. Our course is only about 1.8 miles long, by the way.

The biggest thing I hate about running is that cardiovascular strength/endurance fades incredibly fast. If you take two weeks of from lifting, you can spring right back into it after a few days of trainup where you'll be a little sore. Take two weeks of from running though and hoooooly crap.

Proper form and breathing will do wonders for your run. If you find your time drops drastically after a short break, it could be that you're running inefficiently. Try some deep breathing exercises first, then try applying them to your run.

I recently discovered crossfit and it's the most amazing thing ever. I really hate cardio so this is a decent replacement. My cardio and endurance has gone through the roof since I started doing it 3 times a week. Only problem is I'm starting to lean out and putting back on weight has gotten even harder.

So in the Navy we run 1.5mi, and the dipshit who measured out the course for us measured it wrong *AFTER* we took the PRT. My coworker (Navy) who is skinny as gently caress and in excellent shape got like 9:45 (this cat usually runs it in 9 flat or less) and I got a 10:45, and I usually run it in about 10:15ish. Turns out we ran about 1.8mi not 1.5 Oops...

Combining cardio and muscular endurance/strength into a single workout is actually the most efficient way to burn fat, thus making crossfit the best way to not be a fatty. Unfortunately, you have to already be in decent shape to start it in the first place.

So I ripped one of my hernias back open. Not sure if it was in RI or down here at the gym, but hurts like hell. Spent 4 hours at the military hospital ER last night just so I could get some good pain pills until I can actually get in to see someone about a surgical consult. No lifting for me for a while

Pinuyasha posted:I wish I had a problem leaning out too much... I use to be a fatty. I ballooned from 155 of being skinny/fat (i did nothing but cardio and ate like a pig) to 200 lbs because I stopped doing cardio and just the b/s army half rear end PT + Germany with my diet of beer/doners. Went from army 22% body fat down to 12% body fat within 8months. Completely changed my eating habits, life style, and was lifting weights 6 days a week. Only problem was I was actually going all out during morning PT and lifted in the evening so I was burning more calories than I was able to put in. It was only during my 45 days of PCS leave I was able to put on 25 lbs to where I was at 175ish. But since coming to Hawaii I went back down to 150. Now I'm struggling to keep myself at 165. I have to eat so drat much it makes me want to puke to sustain this weight. Oh and crossfit isn't too bad. You kinda have to be in shape but not really. If you can't do the weight for the WOD just go as light as possible and build up from there. I got no shame in doing the same weight as the girls for squats and stuff because I can't get my form right with heavier weight. Kaliber fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Feb 10, 2012 |
