Honestly - how many GB posters could survive this?

[Archer77]

I know I couldn't survive this.  My joints hurt just reading about it.

Weeding, raking, tilling soil with a plow, planting corn and tomatoes, digging ditches are all more difficult than this.  

imagine if our first founders could somehow appear here and saw what is supposed amount to a hardcore workout/

these guys walked 100's of miles thru uninhabited forest, fought disease, pestilence and hunger all the while clearing all the land by hand, plowing it using rudimentary tools to grow crops. or the inca who cleared entire mountainsides of jungle, terraced the land with hand tools, and quarried and carried all the stone they used for the terraces and their buildings from 10's of miles away.

Sounds like a normal day for johnnyfalcon

That is just warm up for a getbigger. Then they go to battle with a plate loaded hammerstrength for real. Sacrifice to win

[Twaddle]

I'm fucking confused.  Are these people trying out to get into some sort of special forces?  Or is this some modified crossfit shit?  Who leads the workout?   

[Twaddle]

Its run by ex green berets who started a gear company as a way to test the gear for war under stress and grew into this "Challenge" to where people sign up to see if they can endure spec ops like training they go through for Q Course  

Why the fuck would anyone want to do that?  Just join the military and do the real thing.  Besides, your mental capacity will be much less compared to if you're doing the real thing.  If you're doing it for shits and giggles, your mind will be preset on "I can quit whenever I want to."  However, if you're trying out for the real thing, your mind won't give you that option.  Are people paying to do this, or is it free?

Do they win plastic trophy at least?

women should stay at home

I don't mind them leaving the house for a few minutes to go to the grocery store, take the kids to school and various after-school activities, etc.  And of course to the gym because I hate fatass bitches, except for thick chicks in porn vids.

[Twaddle]

Im 38 - too old to join up and want to see if i can do it since I have really changed my training up.  

Why not do something more rewarding, with a better payoff at the end.  Bike across America.  Hike the Appalachian Trail.  Go on an Elk hunt in the dead of winter.  Walk the East Coast.  Swim the Great Lakes.  The list goes on.  

No offense, but this ruck thing seems like another dumb hipster idea.  I can't figure out why anyone would want to pay to have a former drill Sgt kick the shit out of them for 24 hours.  In return, you will get a broken body, blisters, sprains, strains, etc, and a patch.  At the end, you will be happy if you complete it, and you will feel disappointed if you don't.  You will try to tell people about your accomplishment, and they will not know wtf you're talking about, and ultimately won't give a shit.  

Now, if you were to hike the Grand Canyon from rim to rim, you would get a great story, countless pictures, meet people, and it would be much more fullfilling and challenging.

Better yet, how about they pay me to be their slave master.  I will put them to work a whole hell of a lot harder than "goruck" if they want to.  I will even undercut "goruck".

Just think, if these people spent all that energy just going from house to house and doing yard work, or planting crops or just making the neighborhood a better place, how much better, rewarding and more difficult would that all be.

EXACTLY!

[Tedim]

At least I got paid for doing similar shit in the army....doing it for fun?!?,is retarded

[Shockwave]

Im all for fitness.. but I joined the military to test myself and do shit like this.
I would not do that shit for fun.

[Parker]

I like really testing myself to do shit most people cant ever fathom. 

Go swim with sharks. GWs, that is (no, not George Bushes).
Or try raising venomous snakes, start off with Copperheads, timber rattlers. Then work your way up to the Aussies, Africans, and South American snakes (ex brown tiger, boomslang, Mamba, BushMaster, Fer de Lance).

Go wrestle juvenile grizzly bears.

like making over 100,000 posts on a "bodybuilding" message board

Bungee jump with "mystery" length bungee....eyeball length and take the leap of peace.

[The True Adonis]

TA - no offense bro - read up on some of shit people have to go through to survive Selection - this shit aint squating in a garden planting squash  

What I would do if I were you, sign up for one of these things and get the release form.  Look it over for all loop holes, because chances are, they don`t have all bases covered.  Go on it, get a little "injured" and then sue the rucks off of them.  I bet you would win easily.  You know there is no way some of that stuff that they do is legal.

[Grape Ape]

Why the fuck would anyone want to do that?  Just join the military and do the real thing.

Yes, because doing a challenging recreational activity is the same as fucking joining the military.  

There's just a slightly different commitment level, and one is .........a completely life altering decision.

You clearly have never done any old-timey manual farm work.

hundred thousand percent agree


all day workouts are stupid as well. and pointless. a real test is real work
