Trying to get ready for the army

Ive been a Jow Forumsizen since my early high school days, so im not new to working out. Im planning on joining the army in the next few months and have been increasing my workout routines to be in the best shape for it.
But im reading on different methods of exercise, to not push yourself to your max each day and learn to focus on endurance by hitting a stride and then taking the time off to rest. I dont think ill be doing that in the army though, so how should I be training? Any former/current military members want to offer some advice?

also, my biggest issue right now is running. Ive never been a great long distance runner, but have been pushing myself to be one. Recently I was able to run 2 miles without stopping which is a big deal for me, but my legs and hip have been fucked up for the past few days. I dont want to loose my progress but I dont want to push an injury. What are some running tips I could use?

You're weak and train like shlt, undisciplined, unmotivated, and pathetic, and it'll be years before you figure out how to workout properly if at all. But don't worry basic training is easy as fuark, it's actually really fun, like going to summer camp. You'll do bare minimum workouts and eat shitty food.

t. Your future squad leader.

what if im commissioning, Sargent?

Then you will make people way more experienced than you have to salute you and be your bitch

Start saving now for your inevitable knee surgeries

Just run through that shit, it's the only way. Your body will get worse before it gets better, but if you stick at it it'll adapt. Bend it to your will.

The fitter you are at basic the easier it is. The actual physical stuff isn't that hard on it's own but when you throw in sleep deprivation, pressure from DI's and shitty food it's a whole different kettle of fish.

Looking back you'll realise how easy it was once you go on ops. Nothing will prepare you for that.

Good luck, it can be a tough career but rewarding. Don't expect to make it work for you though. If you go in with that attitude it will chew you up and spit you out.

This is the truth. 4 years of jumping and im out, can feel my fucking knees already and im not even 23. Still worth the wings lmao.
Its easy as shit and I never worked out before or while I was in, school is way harder than the army.

Cardio sucks but you’ll do a ton of it. I don’t know where you’re going to end up but if you want to be a steely-eyed killer then your 2-mile is what you’ll need to keep up.
Look into the new ACFT, do those events and the exercises recommended to train for those events. Train every day and then administer the test using your phone timer as a proctor. Give yourself 5-10 fewer points than you’ve actually earned. Go beyond.

>suck jewish cock
>serve israel at all cost

it's all that is needed of you, son

Good day fellow healthcare specialist.

First, you'll have to learn how to spell sergeant.
And then when you put on your little butter bar and go to a line unit you'll realize that not even the privates actually respect you and that the CO will wreck your entire career for disrespecting a good NCO. Assuming you can even get a good branch, but you can't even PT so have fun with lmao92series.
And to top things off the platoon sergeant will be fukking your little college wife anyway. Also nobody gives a shit about saluting, it means nothing these days, which is sad.
Also also, as a new lieutenant if you come to a unit with less than 3 badges/tabs you look like absolute dogshit since we all already know that you get free military schools during your summer semesters. Seeing as how you're having trouble with the APFT I doubt you'll show up with even one.

t. You sing cadences about how you want to be me.

Then don't worry about it. You're not allowed to leave officer training if you can't at least run a sub-13.
Never in my career did I meet a slow junior officer. Pretty sure they consider it an embarrassment to be beaten at PT by enlisted personnel.
I was Airborne, though. Officers in leg units might be fatter/weaker, idk.

lmfao, is their anything more pathetic then a career Sgt? Why not go be a mustang if youre so good? Oh, because youre content with being just good enough to not be a specialist but dont want to move forward in your career

JAKE IS THAT YOU

What game is this?

>t. 4 year specialist

Fuck up iran please. Im from saudia arabia and i believe its the time to destroy evil once and for all. I will be there with you ( by feelings and soul )

Weekly I consider going back to SA and blowing up that fucking shitty rock you sand niggers keep in that gay ass box. Iran is so much better than your shithole in ever way.

>m68

Truggered irani rat. Your days are numbered. And we dont worship the kabba so blow it up if you can faggot lol.

I would focus on running. When I was in basic we only ran once every other day, in the mornings when traffic was light and we could post roadguards. Calisthenics was all day every day because it was easy to smoke us on the spot no matter where we were.

How old are you? When you say "planning on joining the Army in the next few months" are you talking about applying for ROTC? West point? OCS? With ROTC/Academy you'll workout with them.
On topic, why the fuck aren't you outside running right now?

Not Iranian you oil rat. Imagine what is going to happen to your Bedouin ass when you run out of oil. Back to fucking camels faggot.

Army pt is literally the easiest shit ever. Each time I see them pt it’s so damn cringy.

>T. 32 year old corporal who takes his maintenance VERY seriously

if you can run 2 miles you can already pass the final test.

anyway, if you're hurting, rest. running when you're injured or sore is a one way ticket to injury zone.

Just what the army needs, a fat 4channer butterbar prancing around and trying to pretend he knows what the fuck he's doing

Unfathomably cringe

Oilkings faggot. No womder you cuck love iran since its ground zero since ancient times for faggot, transsexuals, animal fuckers and what not. We gonna bomb them and bomb the fuck out like it or not cunt. And by we i mean you.

The oil is whats dragging us down, when its done and al jew go out. Rashiduun 2.0 will happen

kek go clean the latrine, private.

You faggots are the fucking worst, nobody respects you or thinks you're a badass

You realize we are sucking you dry of oil while we still have massive reserves of oil and natural gas? Once you run out we still have a fuck ton left, not to mention natural resources besides sand.
t.USA
I hope so friend. It is a huge greed that plagues the entire world.

Our oil is not endin till 2200 and we keep finding more and more, and as If oil if finshed or not doesnt really matter near future we will have reliable batteries and switch to recyclable energies and guess where is the best spot to farm solar energy?

As long as you can pass the PT test, basic is not difficult in terms of physical exercise. It is all mental. A war of attrition

my cousin killed one of you out in Iraq, I was proud as an Iraqi (no offence)

If you weren't proud then I would be mad.

Wouldn't be a little bit more than 13:00? That is the max on the pft.

The standard for special operations is a 5 mile in 40:00, you think they pick everyone who can run it in 40 mins or the guys who blow passed the standard? If you want to lead troops you can't just expect to do good, you have to exceed, and a 13min 2 mile isn't hard.

Didn't say it is, but for the Army OCS graduation requirement that seems iffy.

This nigga gonna end up logistics in BSB LMAO
LOOK AT THIS DOOOODE!!!!!!!!!!
Just enlist and have some fun, get out go to school and the gym and be paid to do it.

Original user here, sorry if I wasn't clear.
It's not an official standard that officers have to run sub-13. They're just expected to, and shamed if they don't.
Officers are expected to lead by example, and it's unspoken but understood that if your soldiers are beating you at PT, you lose some respect.
As you get older/move up the ranks you stop giving a shit, of course, but even 40+ year old CSMs and senior officers still typically have really good run times, barring injury.

what if hes not jumping, retard. airborne is a fucking meme

this thread is pathetic and makes me glad i got out of the army with a fucking disability rating

Lift with 30 minute of cardio everyday

Imagine thinking airborne is a meme while being airborne is the basis and necessary for 90% of all special operations.

Bench?

You go to Iran also. The US isn't going to do it for you

I heard that SEALS that run 3 miles in 18:00 have a 30% chance of graduating

Is Iran good or bad? Im AD army infantry and my best friend is iranian and his parents are lovely people. Its just something i want to know if we end up going to kill irans youth
Also to OP
U gon die

Being Airborne+ is the only way to get decent, competent people around you.
Leg units are full of fats and weaklings. Our military has gone to shit.

Neither good nor bad. They want nukes, and get pissed off that Israel can have them and they can't. I don't think they'd nuke anyone, but I still don't want them to have them.

That's above average though, right?

devils advocate, but if you join the air force and can maintain good physique your quality of life is so much higher and you willl promote faster than any other branch with a little charisma and good pt scores.

keep your chest out and face looking either straight ahead or upwards. When you breathe don't breathe too quickly. Take like a breath for every two steps. Keep your hands loose. Don't make a fist but don't let them flap around either. look at the sky or whatever is ahead of you and try to zone out instead of staying fixated on where the finish line is.

That's the stuff I did.

People can be bad or good retard, its the system that needs to be destroyed dirty shia evil of the world even beats jews.

I'll be enlisting in the Navy, should I bother with weights or just push ups/pull ups/sit ups/cardio?

I hope Qassam and Ali overrun your cesspit of a nation.

Devil in baggo pants??

Your whole life is a fucking meme you dirty stinky leg faggot.

Just go nigger it's not that hard. I enlisted as a drug addict in 2009 and I was setting all kinds of PT records. Just do what you're told and don't be a faggot.

No shit here's the real advice you need. 1) Always have cigarettes. 2) Keep them in a plastic bag. 3) You cannot count on the Army to feed you in the field. 4) Hydrate 5) The only two pieces of cool guy gear worth a shit are a decent leatherman & Pmags.

Nobody gives a shit about your basic training stories.

Attach weights to each side of your body and run around pretending to dodge bullets. Once you're able to competently run around ducking and diving with the weights on, remove them. You will now be able to duck dodge and dive even faster than before; thus increasing your chances of dodging bullets on the field.

Also, practice lifting up dumbbells in a fast motion like you would a gun. Keep progressing until you're able to lift the dumbbell really fast; increasing your draw speed in the field.

Get to 4x6 315 dead. Be able to run a sub 35 min 5 mile. Be able to do 20 pullups at any minute. Around 75 pushups.

Do NOT neglect your mobility.

imagine actually joining the army
why do Americans do this

It gives you a sense of structure and discipline.. also they pay for your future education. It's a better option then ending up in a US prison.

>only options are prison or military
only if your parents were complete lowlifes who didnt amount to anything
I graduated college got a 80k+ a year job making 120k now. Better making money for myself than fighting wars for the jews like a good little goyboy

Good for you dipshit.. not everyone is as smart as you. Is that what you wanted to hear?

so what jews besides the Fed do you make money for?

>thinks working in a capitalist system excludes him from serving JUDEN
yeah that salary is nice but are you trying to make a world a better place? Or, are you just making more money for the jew?

Yes. Those who are more capable more and contribute more to humanity should enjoy more luxuries than the plebes.
None
I manage construction so I'm helping build the future more efficiently. I also save clients money, if contractors want to earn more they have to go rip someone else off.

>helping build the future more efficiently
Lol, for what purpose? At what cost? You save money for people? So what? So they can buy more material garbage that contributes more to the destruction of our planet? But it doesnt really matter, desu, the momentum and direction of our world is on an unrelenting path to self destruction, so it just makes sense to live a comfortable life in a superficial system we live in.

24, getting into OCS and becuase I just went for a 2 mile run this morning but my hip was starting to bother me and I didnt want to push it further. Id like to get up to three before I leave

>enlisted

What country? Nobody here says “paratrooper”
Yeah, but do you know what’s it’s like to kill another human being? To watch a man’s life, the sum of all his experiences, come rocketing out the back of his head and paint the halo he’ll never have on the pavement behind him?
Oh, you’re actively contributing to the detriment of modern architecture, got it. Say what you will about their construction habits, those buildings provide cover.

I'm currently training at the moment. When I go to the recruiter all I will be taking is an option 4 or option 40. Even though I hate living with my parents and pretty much everything else about my life, rushing into big army seems like it will be a mistake I will regret for years.
In the morning I do the Tabata method on a stationary bike. Its supposed to improve cardiovascular health faster than anything else, and it only takes 4 minutes.
Throughout the day I do sets of 20 push ups and 20 sit ups. I try for around 200 per day. I can do 15 pull ups so I don't train them with as much intensity but I still throw in sets every now and then to make sure I can reliably do over 10.
In the evening I go for a run of about 3 miles. I do a set of 40 inclined push ups on a bench half way through so I can get a feel for the higher rep range.
I will answer your comments honestly though I doubt you will listen to me.
I don't care about money or social status. I am an unhappy person who has always been unhappy and likely always will be unhappy. I am also very lonely and I have little self control, though at this point in my life I must exercise as much as possible to prepare myself for enlistment.
To a person like you, the idea of being unable to go to the bathroom without a battle buddy may seem like a stupid and childish practice, but to me it seems like the solution to all my problems. Left alone I simply sit in my room, wasting away. All of my friends through my teenage years have all been drug users and that lifestyle is not one that is conducive to finding any meaning in life. I don't want money or luxuries because every time I've had access to these things I was not happy, but rather destroyed myself and complained. The military provides structure and is the only option for a person like me to actually form good habits and mental processes.
As for everybody talking about Iran, could you provide evidence that a war is immanent? thanks.

If you physically feel like you can’t run, don’t. If you run and your legs and what not are feeling ok, then keep running. My body will always hurt a bit like 2-3 mins in and then figured itself out and I’m good.

>t. down 60 lbs and regularly runs now when I never ran or even exercised like 4 month ago

Not that guy but was a paratrooper in U.S. yes we do say paratrooper, Airborne was more common though.

>Option 4 or 40
If you don't pass like half those fucks give my regards to the 82nd and dont bring their moral down and take care of my boys faggot.

If youre planning ahead for the army youre already trying too hard.

They're gonna bring my morale up, and I will return the favor.
Still, all the Iran talk, where does it come from?
If there's any merit to it, it'd be a very real war given their capabilities. I don't want to get my hopes up over Jow Forums talk

Why do you want to "serve" America? It's a joke of a country at this point.

Iran is not a threat to the US, but is to Israel. You would be fighting in Israels war.

Absolutely not a threat to USA, but nigger kikes and saudis don't like them, and USA is in bed with both of those groups. Basically, you'd be a slave of zionism/saudi kikes if you fought Iran.

>Four years of pay which, although low in an absolute sense, is 90%+ discretionary income, as the military provides your necessities
>Preferential employment (in addition to tax breaks for hiring veterans, employers believe vets to be less likely to flake out on work or bitch in general)
>Financial burden of college is transferred to the government, which is a piece of shit and should be burdened with as much debt as possible so that it one day hopefully collapses, and you can transfer this benefit to a spouse/child if you don't wish to use it
>Eternal deferential treatment from normie conservatives and blue-dog democrats (far-left commies were going to hate you anyway for being a lmao white male and far-right NatSoc blame the mercenary nature of our cuck government, not the individual soldiers)
>You get to do all the dumb, degenerate shit you were going to do at college i.e. heavy drinking, dorm (barracks) parties, fuck around with women, etc, except it won't endanger your college studies and your NCOs don't care as long as you don't drive drunk and clean up after yourself. By the time you're out and going to college, you'll be in control of your excesses and able to drink/party socially without fucking up your classes.
If you're not sure what to do at 18-20, the military is not a bad gig to put off that decision a few more years while you get some pay and benefits under your belt.
Just don't blow your money on a brand new car or marry one of the whores around post.

Doubt it will happen but it is out there and our greatest allies Israel and SA want it to happen. This might sound bad as a former service member but if our government chose to go to war with Iran I would oppose it physically here in the US. FUCK Israel and Saudi Arabia.

See I agree with you, but I'd like to go to war. I feel like its the only place in which decisions have any real meaning.

Hello fellow vet.
I would love it if we invaded Iran. It would be an immense shit-show. We've been fucking with low-tech retards for a generation, unable to effectively fight them due to humanitarian rules of engagement.
Iran will fuck us. We can win with enough application force, but the cost would be yuge. It would not be a popular war.
I would likewise oppose it domestically, but I'd love to see the government embarrassed. A shame it would cost so many lives, for no reason other than being Israel's butt-goy.

I have never heard anyone in batt say it unironically.
They changed it. If you don’t Ranger you don’t airborne. They frontloaded rasp

I have not found any ironclad information on the frontloading of RASP.
Everybody says conflicting shit, some say its only frontloaded for support MOS's, some say it depends on the needs of the regiment, etc
Is there anything you can point to that definitively says what you're saying?
Armyranger, shadowspear, and professionalsoldiers has heavily conflicting information going all the way back to 2011

First he'd have to get a mag and some ammo

Never was in batt. Too lazy for that bs. Also you go Airborne before any ranger shit so if you fail you go to an Airborne unit.
Thats because youre a gay ass panther and will never be a black hearted devil in baggy pants my man.
Im sure we can win, unless russia and china get involved, but its not right. Im talking principal and morals. Our boys would be sorely fucked up because Iranians have an actual culture and nation to protect and they have been doing so before most of the people on Earth.
