I bet half of you didn't even lift today

[Grape Ape]

That sounds insane. To much for me.

There are not easy.

I've done the single tough, and that was a bear (including the single most insane last mile of anything i've ever experienced)

Back to back ones must be nuts.

[Cook]

Cook,my legs have always sucked and trust me I trained the shit out of them.

Training upper body at home is great but I cannot afford to waste a minutes time neglecting legs....I mean I was training them at home as hard as possible, but I was too limited so yes,it`worth it bigtime.

The 100 mile trip pales by comparison to some of the sacrifices I have made over the decades for this sport....you gotta` want it or you get left behind, and that`s something I never entertain.

Every day I meditate picturing how I want to look at my contest,picturing myself winning,repeating a mantra on positive affirmation........Zane has nothing on me.....a lot of it is visualization,believing in yourself,and positive affirmation........I have no one here up in the sticks as a team except for me and you guys on getbig,so in essence I tell myself repeatedly that I have already won.........the mind is the most powerful muscle....you know this as you have competed in powerlifting yourself.

If you fail to plan,you are planning to fail !!

awesome! I already knew what you were going say.Keep it up and know that we are all pulling for you.

[Soul Crusher]

That sounds insane. To much for me.

This is the 2nd hardest thing I've attempted.  The hardest was in 2015.  But I'm 7 years older too.

Thanks Cook,you keep pushing hard too brother....together we can kick "Father Time" in his ass!   

[Gym-Rat]

Youre a beast brother!  After my daily weight-workout and 1-hr walk, I'm toast!

If anyone can do it......you can....just unharness the inner animal like you do in the gym.

Thanks man.  Just trying to keep challenging myself  pushing the envelope   

[Taffin]

You really haven't progressed at all since you joined the board.

Hey now!  Stop teasing...

[illuminati]

Hey now!  Stop teasing...

I notice huge Difference in Those 2 pics....................


No Beard & No Cap.........

The miles, sleep deprivation, and just hours of suck are more mental than physical. 

[wes]

I bet,that`s sounds brutal.....I`d fold my hand in about 30 seconds. 

Stay strong,and stay on point!

[Grape Ape]

Can 100% attest.

Of course you have to train and be in shape.

But for the volume of what's thrown at you, you really can't train exactly for it, and just have to push through.

Like the first one I did, me and two other guys had to carry a 225lb dude a fucking mile. At 11 am Sat in a busy downtown Boston.  After 13 hours of bullshit.

That`s insane!

[Grape Ape]

That`s insane!

It was nuts....we just dumped the 5 rocks (30-70lbs) that were carried the full 20 miles into Boston harbor,  and the guy told us we were done, and would walk single file the last mile to the starting point and be done.

What we didn't know he was tapping certain people in the line, and telling them to lay down as we walked.  Then he yelled to stop, turn around and that we had to get everyone who was down back to the starting point now.  Yelling the whole time...it sounds fine now, but it was absolute chaos.  I got stuck on a three man crew with the biggest guy to carry.

Holy shit bro,that is brutal....you fuckers are totally insane!

Lol, true.

In my defense, I literally had no idea what really happened at these things when I signed up, just did because SC challenged the board to do an event.

I was the one asshole who did it.

Blame yourself 

[Primemuscle]

Only way you'll ever get Shredded is if you fall into The Shredding Machine

HTH.

Or someone puts him in one. I am visualizing Gaer Grimsrud feeding his partner in to a woodchipper in 'Fargo'. It was a gruesome scene. His former partner was definitely shredded.

HTH.

No need his internal organs are already on life support l.


BP through the roof
Skin is brown from his constant tanning
Pupils yellow from jaundice
Shitting blood

Will be shredded once his organs tap out by year end

Genetics can be a bitch man.

My legs grow just looking at a barbell.

But my chest has always been my weakness.

Trained chest a dozen different ways and at one time was strong as an ox. Zero difference.

Chest always looked meh compared to the rest of me.

My legs/calves can grow doing anything, it's almost retarded. People ask me for advice on calves all the time and i just tell them it's genetics. They act upset that i don't give them some super secret, but i'm just being honest about it.

Sounds awful.

I respect you guys who do these things, but i will never understand why.

I love you bro,but I hate you for having genetically gifted legs. 

Give me the secret or I`ll kill ya` !!

Thanks man.

I tried it because I had done some Spartan Races and Tough Mudders and just had so much fun doing them.  Was like being a kid again.

Then SC mentioned GORUCK so it was just another "thing" to try.  That was my first one.  I've subsequently done some lighter ones, and a couple 50 mile events that didn't involve the beatdowns or time hacks.

But the feeling upon completion makes it all worth it, and you get to meet some really cool people.

And, full honesty, having an event to train for makes me actually train.  I can get lazier when I don't have something on the table.

Yeah i get what you mean. I competed in powerlifting for many years.

Some of my friends do the Spartan races and really enjoy it.

It's good to have something to focus your effort on.

Maybe that's why i haven't trained hard in 5 years?
