Re: Help me out - Looking for website about training for military

The free e-book was called Built to Endure, written by Mike Prevost. The user in question racked up a bit of a bad rep as you can tell, but the information in that book is pretty decent. To be absolutely fair, we don't know if the user really was who he said he was, and neither do we know the actua...

Help me out - Looking for website about training for military

Re: Smith machines: how bad are they?

One thing that I learned during that period of my life is that training, eating and sleeping conditions are almost never going to be optimal. Strong people will do what they can to get better with whatever is available. Very well said. Yes, as is this: If it's all you have available, use it. Not as...

Just wrapped up a 60 minute endurance session. Was reminded of how good you feel after a nice, long steady-state cardio session. I've also recently reflected on the importance of internalizing goals.

Re: 43 Week Tactical Barbell Plan

It's been a while since I've updated this log - primarily because I haven't had anything too interesting to say. I've been following the plan more or less and recently started max strength training again. I have tinkered with the plan a bit. What follows is a collection of thoughts that may or may n...
