I have a two year old super clean car that I'm not getting mucked up. I'm not doing a mud race to pretend I'm in the military for a day. Running a normal 5K is enough for me.

I don't "pretend I'm military" when I run one.

5ks are for housewives.

Not to mention a challenge or a light. 


Fuck 99% of GB would collapse on a GR Light let a lone a Challenge or a Heavy



25 Hours - 45 Miles with a 40lbs pack while being beaten down by Spec Ops Cadre.  Yeah some of the drug addicted fucks on this site are up for that?  LMFAO!!!!   No LMFAO x 2

99% of this board would collapse within 1 hour of this

Dude, I get that you are proud of your accomplishment. It is an impressive feat.

You just can't blame people for not wanting to participate in something that amounts to self torture. It's simply not normal. Even for very fit people.

Having done a few, I don't think that's the case.  Most seem to be there just to have fun, and help others.  At least that was my experience.  The only guys I saw once going nuts (not in a bad way, but very serious) were actual real military.

Training with a ruck..fine good cardio I guess...the other shit, no way in hell. I gave that crap up a long time ago. I remember being at 29 Palms with a Saw...Saw ammo and a spool of radio wire plus other assorted shit in my ruck. An M1 came rolling by, they had igloo's in their bustlerack and gatoraide...I knew my days as a grunt were rapidly coming to an end. I don't even camp unless uncle sam is paying for it.

The only thing I am going to ruck around are these goddamned foundation rocks.  I moved one a few months ago, it was a few hundred pounds.  I had to deadlift it and turn, deadlift and turn.  Took forever.  Only a shitload more to go!!!

Yeah thats it.  Easy right?   ;D

Not saying easy, just curious as to the extent of the hike. I was a caddy for several years. Most of the time I carried doubles. Those older bags were on average a good 40 lbs.each. Each round was roughly 6 miles, far from 45, but I like to think I could do it. Not saying I am taking you up on anything!

Sign up morons see how fit you are.   Just tell them to have 911 on speed dial cause you will need it.   Most of you cant run or do 1 mile let alone 25 or even 45.     Ha ha ha. Fucking clowns.   

Last event i did we did 45 miles over 25 hours w 40lbs pack in the cold wet damp trails carrying all sorts of shit along the the way w multiple beat downs. 


Oh yeah, bicep curls is going to war, i forgot.   Lmfao.

Funny - everyone saying how its so easy and a walk in the park, yet not one will step up to prove it.  We get BB types all the time who drop out and quit.  Many get gassed so fast and cramp up and just fall off.  Same thing would happen to most here. 

big difference between beach muscles and actually being functional.    



but really where is the benefit to these functional muscles.

About 7 years ago I ran in a charity 5K road race. The local gym owner who was one of the sponsors of the race told two of her trainers to run it with the gym shirt on for publicity. The two buff steroid guys ran good for about three quarters of a mile then gassed. They finished the race with chubby soccer moms at the back of the pack looking like they were going to die. They looked buff with their drug muscles but had zero conditioning. I couldn't imagine how ugly it would have been if they were in a boxing ring or a wrestling match.  Some of the chubby women who had them as their trainers stop using them. Who would use a trainer in worse shape than you?

Here is how it goes now - AFPT to start.  No big deal.  You pass or fail.  12 mile ruck in under 3:30 w 40lb pack.  Pass or fail.

21 hours or so left after that with all sorts of crap, welcome party, 30 plus miles left, buddy carries, team weights, team beat downs, maybe 1 or 2 ten min break, never sitting down, pt out the ass, mind games, etc.

By the end your feet feel like mush, everything kills you, you feel like hell, but at the end you know you can endure a lot more than most.

Hmmm, a lot like caddying.  ;D

just like guys who lift for strength criticizing bodybuilders, or vice versa. Usually you have to specialize in one goal, you cant lift/eat like a pkwerlifter and expect to look like a BB, conversely, you cant eat/lookift like a BB and still be as strong as a powerlifter.

There are guys that can bridge the gaps with goddlike genetics.. but generally, jack of all trades, master of none.

I dont have to run or hump huge mileage anymore... so frankly I dont care abou5 being able to go out and run 10miles with gear, I dont have too and barring some sort of global meltdown I wont ever have to again. For the 1st time I can just worry about trying to make my body look the way I want so thats what im working towards, not being able to run miles on end,  or lifting 800lbs, or sprinting a 1/4 mile... nome of that sbit pertains to my day to day life, so im just focusing on eating right, taking advantage of my HRT and trying to transform my with the extremely average genetics ive been handed.

You learn really quick you cant have it all, so it all matters what you want to focus one.

That's right - just a different thing I am into lately.  Some people thinks its stupid - probably true -but I still enjoy it and it forces me to train really hard to remain competitive in it.  I was bored to death doing just BB after years of working out like that.   

Its not for everyone at all, but remember - I didn't start a thread attacking someone elses' interests

And for the record - I hate fucking crossfit 



Honestly super respectable.

Now get these endurance events out of your system. Come back to bbing, but this time start sticking needles in your butt.

its a real game changer.

What's your point? Bodybuilding isn't running. I've done both and I'd much rather look buff than look like I did when I was running low 3:00 hour marathons. Of course there's a middle ground and that's fine but one thing has nothing to do w/ another. Most relatively fast runners, say sub-3:00 marathon guys, are skinny fat, w/ concave chests and can't do a single chinup or bench press their bodyweight. It all depends on what u want. I know what look most women prefer.  

What is your point and who is talking about running marathons?  My point is that you shouldn't be a mirror athlete like a bodybuilder who poses in a speedo while oiled up to music. Every sport takes specialization. I'm just saying if you are going to work out then workout for real athletic performance and let that dictate your physique and not the other way around. Having cosmetic bloated drug muscles means nothing when a 150 pound jui jitsu kid who is in real condition takes you down and your gassing trying to do something.

Most women do not prefer steroid juicers though there are a fringe who are impressed but then there are also women who like fat bearded bikers too. Women like guys that are in shape but it isn't steroid bodybuilding shape.

Alright - I'm just throwing this out there - since most of the people on GB think they are bad ass, ill pick up your registration fee if you sign up for GR Challenge - and whoever report back how easy it is.  You guys are all bad ass right?  How hard could this possibly be ? ? ? ? ?  ? 

Forget about GORUCK Heavy - 99.99999999% of this site would be in cardiac arrest and a puddle of pain and piss within 1 hour and never complete that - so not going there.   

So before any one of you wannabes want to throw barbs - sign up or STFU.  I got your reg fee.   

Seriously - the thought that some of these bloofy bloated overweight clowns are tossing arrows my way over this is so laughable its not even funny. 

Any takers?

Its all funny when you see people w North face and other crap collapse and dudes have to bow out 2 hours in cause their shit failed.  Never paid full price BTW.  

One event I did some little fag showed up  in a North Face pack and got dropped 30 minutes in cause his gear failed.  Bricks spilled all over the pavement and he had to drop.  

Some other bring good stuff like Kifaru, 5.11, Camelback, etc and its all good.   But most garbage on the market is not sturdy at all.  We had another idiot w an UA pack that collapsed about 1 hour in - he got sent home too.  

Like I said - its so easy and of the so called gym warriors on this site can sign up and ill cover everything.  90% chance most wont even make it half way and cry and go home. 



Yeah, NorthFace has gone to shit. Had a Camelback Motherlode, but dont get on with the zip main compartment. I like a daysack with a lid access to the main compartment, like the berghaus centurio.

Here is how it goes now - AFPT to start.  No big deal.  You pass or fail.  12 mile ruck in under 3:30 w 40lb pack.  Pass or fail.

21 hours or so left after that with all sorts of crap, welcome party, 30 plus miles left, buddy carries, team weights, team beat downs, maybe 1 or 2 ten min break, never sitting down, pt out the ass, mind games, etc.

By the end your feet feel like mush, everything kills you, you feel like hell, but at the end you know you can endure a lot more than most.

So the reason you would do it more than once is....?

Funny - everyone saying how its so easy and a walk in the park, yet not one will step up to prove it.  We get BB types all the time who drop out and quit.  Many get gassed so fast and cramp up and just fall off.  Same thing would happen to most here. 

big difference between beach muscles and actually being functional.

About 7 years ago I ran in a charity 5K road race. The local gym owner who was one of the sponsors of the race told two of her trainers to run it with the gym shirt on for publicity. The two buff steroid guys ran good for about three quarters of a mile then gassed. They finished the race with chubby soccer moms at the back of the pack looking like they were going to die. They looked buff with their drug muscles but had zero conditioning. I couldn't imagine how ugly it would have been if they were in a boxing ring or a wrestling match.  Some of the chubby women who had them as their trainers stop using them. Who would use a trainer in worse shape than you?

Do tell. 

But don't forget to mention how the top 20 finishers at the 5K would do in a bodybuilding contest.

Exactly.   Most of the clowns in the gym are all show no go.  Gas out after even a little but hard physical exertion. 

Why do I do these events?  Because it forced me to train harder and better overall for all around fitness.  Additionally - I just got bored to death doing BB type workouts. 

All around fitness?  Isn't that a eupemistic term for "not that great at any one thing"?

BB might be a strange sport but it's not, as Kenny Powers says, "Trying to be the best at exercising.":

Most but lately people using sand, melted down lead or whatever.  As long as the weight is right they don't care.  One of my buddies uses a Camleback and swears by it - thing has been though tons of events - they make good stuff as does maxpedition

My problem with camel back type daysacks is when heavy, they tend to drag down and back. I like the weight high up and close to the upper back.

Difference is that those tossing barbs are too fat and out of shape to try it than those doing it. 

Groink / TA - whoever - they wont step up.  Why?  Cause if they tried GR HEAVY - they are faced w 1 of 2 options - Fail like they will.  Or in the unlik;ey chance thwy they pass- come back and describe hat they went through


Going in a gym and doing 1 hour of weights is easy even for a mid aged housewife. 

99% of the people on this site are scared shit of actually being put to the test.  I get it.  Groink and TA would drop in an 1-2 hours best.  Just how it is 




no, I won't do it because I don't want to.

if I wanted to... I would do the same exact thing that you did. I would train for it, and be very good at it. You seem to think you have some fucking magical skills because you got in cardio shape

Can you do 30 burpees wo needing a medic - no

Can you do 100 push ups - no

can you do 15 pull ups - no  

Can you do 5 legit pull ups?   CSWOL will own you on that

Whats the point of doing this extensive cardio training when you are not a pro athlete and not part of any sf groups?
