I'm doing one at the end of the summer, anyone got any training tips?
Looks like it's going to be fun.

Prep with some cardio and don’t wear cotton clothing. Tough Mudder is great fun, I went last year.
Grayson Anderson
You have to go through icy water filled with ice cubes. There is a plank which you must go under.
Nolan Murphy
Ok, that explains the 'arctic' part. Do they forcibly remove squat plugs right before that part of the race or something?

Rolling for pushups bc no thread. Intersperse with pull ups
Grayson Cox
Make sure to grow your beard, get some bright clothes to wear ironically, practice your onions face, be prepared to drink IPA's after, and choose your favorite mumford and son song to talk about with the other participants after otherwise you wont fit in. Also if its on a saturday, say something like OMFG I REALIZED ITS CATURDAY

obstacle course races are stupid, just go run a 5k or a 10k
Ryan Jones
Basically this. Do pull-ups and run every day. Tough mudder is tons of fun until you get electrocuted and fall face first into mud

Does look pretty fun to be honest lad. What's wrong with having fun?
Don't say your the same guy who shits on the climbing/bouldering threads
James Hughes
you dont have to train for them at all, if you are lifting already you are likely overqualified compared to the average mudder.
maybe a bit of cardio if you arent doing that currently already.

You can make it through with running a few miles a week and basic strength training. If you want to focus a little more train your grip strength/endurance. Get used to hanging and moving your body weight around (pullups, deadhangs, monkey bars). Not sure about mudder but spartan races have many obstacles where you carry heavy objects for distance and/or elevation.
These races can be easy as evidenced by the fatties that finish them. But if you want to place you need to be in better shape than anyone here is.
The free beer they serve is shit.

I have no friends but these things are popular with girls from my gym.
Should I go to one of those?

Yes they look like shit but at least they're trying.
Good for them to not sit on the couch with a bag of chips.

this thread is really bumming me out cause i wanted to pick up mudding this year as a way to socialize with people now that im sober and working out regularly. what the hell im just gonna be a loser forever, should've played a sport.
Andrew Perez
My experience was that it was disappointingly easy, because women have to be able to run it.
Connor Reed

because the full retard hardcore version of it was my fucking job for eight years, you dumb cocksuckers
Tyler Rogers
you may not like it, but this is what peak mudder performance looks like
Oliver Miller
Too fucking accurate.
>I worked really hard, I deserve to treat myself
Jayden Hughes
You can go alone, the organisers make an effort so that you are not alone and introduce loners to the rest of the people.
Camden Evans
Tough mudder is for people that have never done any cardio. Spartan race offers more difficult challenges.
Nicholas Torres
>this thread is really bumming me out cause i wanted to pick up mudding this year as a way to socialize with people now that im sober and working out regularly
Why are you getting bummed? You can still meet people and bring your friends for fun. It's just a fun jog with some obstacles. Do you really want to be influenced by people that mock people for doing literally anything? People that sit on the sidelines of life never living it themselves should have no sway over you.
Luke Turner
>lol mudding is for people that like to drink but have a running problem lol #mudding #howmanymilesmorelikehowmanybeers #doesmyhairlookgoodinbrown #justmuddingthings
Benjamin Sullivan
Nah, mudding is just fucking gay.
Henry Morgan
Tough Mudder is a chump race that bored housewives and fit moms go on.
Don't fall for the hype.
Ayden Rogers
do it faggot don't listen to us
Noah Sanders
>Spartan race offers more difficult challenges.
Seconded. My work offered to pay for entry for any of us who would go. I am doing one of them (not the ultra killer one, just a normal one) this summer and I am stoked!
Matthew Butler
Did a Spartan race a while back while I was still in. Still finished in the top 100 of 7000+ after stopping to help people flip tires (two whole times!!wowo). We literally did more on a given day of pt and it didn't cost any fucking money. It was fun being able to crush it, but kinda disappointing at the lack of actual challenge.
Go with some normie friends and be silly, because that's all it is.
Colton Gonzalez
High knees through waist deep water and you will go a lot faster. Biggest/strongest guy up the wall first if you are on a team. Biggest to smallest up the wall. You are a group and can help each other through almost every obstacle. Grab the pussy on your team and put him on your shoulders and run through the monkey bars.Have fun.

Brayden Bell
lol i ran one of these, such a fucking joke, i only went because i got the ticket for free. i hadnt run in over a year and came like top 10 in my heat of over 200. almost every single person was walking and i passed hundreds of old fat people, people when i would jog by people would hollar "we got a runner" to warn the people up ahead. it was pathetic and wtf u got so dirty. i was embarassed to be a part of it. so fucking overpriced
Jace Gray

Do trail running
Just did this, hills were savage as fuck planning on training up to 5 miles then just increasing pace
Asher Rodriguez
I'm 20% bodyfat too and just quit drinking and smoking so as long as you enjoy it you can do it
Asher Evans
So you routinely trained doing things far more difficult than a spartan and were in gi joe peak condition, yet still got schooled by dozens of your civilian lessers? If it were so easy then you should've been on the podium at the end.
Zachary Parker
It's fun.
Stupid people are stupid.
Be able to run a few miles and do a pull up.
Oliver Jones
>obstacle course
Why not just join us trail runners instead? Oh yes, you are a dumb normie and it looks more "badass" for you to do a planned obstacle course instead of doing nature's obstacles like running steep hills, dodging tree roots, rock hopping, side sliding, and running over downed trees.
Nolan Cox
The Spartan ones are shit too.
Logan Morgan
I did one of these dipshit mud runs and got put to shame by all the skinny CrossFit people. The only thing that matters is grip strength ... every obstacle is pulling yourself up or across some silly shit. Skinny rock climbing people dominated it and I looked like an idiot because I’m very muscular looking but couldn’t do shit. Thanks, rippetoe.
Angel Gonzalez
>stop to help others
>HURR WHY DIDN'T YOU PLACE PODIUM SOULJA BOI
did you even fucking read the post before sperging out on the keyboard or what
Bentley Evans
>I c-coulda beat them if I wanted
Lol you spent literally 30 seconds helping people flip tires. I see why you were in the military, dumbshit.
Camden Bell
Underrated
Grayson Rivera
i came here just now for no other reason than to shitpost and farm (yous)
are you seriously just hitting f5 obsessively, hoping to get the last word in against that other fag
Kevin Ward
lots of cardio
Michael James
That was my post. It just wasn't as challenging as I expected. I was expecting insanity on par with SF selection based on the hype and I got a run with some obstacles. Still fun. I'd just recommend going with normie friends so you can casually be way better at it. Be able to run 5 miles at a decent pace and do six sequential pull-ups, you'll outdo 90% of the people.
Connor Butler

Something like tough mudder, basically you just need to train distance running. That's the hard part. The obstacles are all just kind of fun adventure stuff, none of them are hard. If you're doing an actual obstacle course ninja warrior type thing, that's different.
Anthony Wilson
>If you are lifting
What are you retarded? It's a 10 mile run, what the fuck does lifting have to do with it? Of course do cardio, that's literally the only thing you would do to train for an event like this.
Nolan Cook
If they were trying they wouldn't look like they do. It's so easy not to be fat, they're not doing shit.
Carson Gonzalez
