heavy lifting is a stupid ass meme, most of the infantry and rangers I've done training with do nothing but cardio and bodyweight
t. 11b first lieutenant with airborne tab
My all time max for squats is 255x5, DL is 325x5, bench is 175x5, and OHP is 135x5. All of those are lower now because they don't matter for qualifications at all and I'd rather spend time doing stuff they actually test you on (and pay you extra if you can do well).
Basically none of that shit matters except for getting into fistfights on the street (just conceal carry), and you run a high risk of fucking up your discs doing it. Cardio and bodyweight are massively superior for soldiering, maybe with the exception of squats, but even then, as long as you can carry 215 pounds or so over your back for a couple dozen meters, you're golden.
You wouldn't believe the number of stories you hear about meatheads like you washing out of basic (FUCKING BASIC!) because your bulky asses are too heavy to do any real soldiering.
>>36022746
>lifting helps with fistfights
>everyone is a soldier
I agree with you that guys who focus on lifting aren't actually that fit, but come on dude.
Powerlifting is retarded to be honest, and frankly, it's not even a sport. Most of /fit/ is delusional.
I would be considered dyel by /fit/ standards, yet i'm more athletic than 95% of /fit/ since I lift for a team sport and not picking shit up and down.
holy shit this is bait.
basic is fucking easy, the only way you couldn't pass the cardio qualifications in the timeframe given is if you weigh 300+.
Also I live near one of the largest military installations on the east coast and it's hard as fuck to get a power rack during peak hours because almost everyone here actually lifts.
>>36022746
dude this is /fit/.
people here are rejects of society that find reason to not kill themselves in their squat and deadlift numbers. most of them do a shitty job, don't do cardio, are bad with women. some of them even roids, lol.
you can't expect much. they just want keep on their egolifting and will refuse any debate. just let them in the abyss
Dude, we're not all high school dropouts helping America's campaign for that black liquid jew gold. Fuck your cardio.
This place is basically r9k

Do you get your welfare check direct deposit? What's it like fighting for Israel?
>mfw 1.91m 95kg paratrooper
I guess that invalidates your retarded argument, OP.
>>36023246
noice
There is literally no reason to join the military unless you are sexually excited about the possibility of injuring yourself or dying for Israel.

>airborne "tab"
since when is airborne a tab? unit patches don't count
is that why both rangers and sf have their own programs that incorporate a lot of lifting? (see raw and thor)
>>36023246
natty brah????
>>36023530
yes
pump + lighting makes me look huge there but under normal conditions i look smaller
>>36022746
No one worth anything joins the service
Have fun dying in some god forsaken country for some reason that boils down to greed
Powerlifting is basically for fat rejects who were bullied in grade school
>>36023814
Military is basically for scrawny retards who failed high school classes.

>>36024827
Cool, I've done a lot of training around Macaé that's why I asked.
>>36024845
Macaé is nice but holy fuck I hated the gyms there. Hell the entire country of Brazil seemed to have a chronic lack of squat racks or power racks in general.
My girlfriend wants me to start working in Brazil permanently so I might just become home gym master race down there.

yea most gyms here are geared towards curl bros.
Synthol culture ftw
Yo, don't get your gf pregnant, you're gonna have a pinhead baby.
My sister got married recently and she is fucking scared and trying to avoid pregnancy like the plague. She and my brother in law are actually considering moving to Chile for a year so they can have the child there.

I weigh 330 with gear. Can you pick me up in a fireman carry and sprint to cover 50 meters away?
Fuck off with your cardio you pog motherfucker.
>>36022746

Stopped listening right there
>>36023246
It's you again
>>36025082
>I weigh 330 with gear.
Nobody would fireman carry you, you're a two person lift.
>>36025121
sup anon
we meet again
>>36025134
Negative. Got people in my unit who do it all the time - they're strong and we practice.
>>36025020
I noticed when I went to the beaches that it was curl bros. I'd never been to a beach before I went to Brazil so shit was great but my girlfriend hates beaches and complains all the women are putas. I won't be having kids till after marriage though so i'm hoping by then Zika has been eradicated.

You mean being light, resilient, and mobile are better than being huge in a gunfight? Who would have thought, it's almost like we don't fight with swords and spears anymore

>I would be considered dyel by /fit/ standards, yet i'm more athletic than 95% of /fit/ since I lift for a team sport and not picking shit up and down.
Get over yourself, there are tons of people on here who play sports you egotistical twat, we have rugby and running threads all the time

Damn man. You need to get your people together and get them strong. Us big fuckers need love too.
>>36025365
No infantry.
The heaviest guy in our platoon is only 275lbs with kit on.

Jesus dude, I'm DYEL as fuck and I did 255 for 4x6 today
>>36023066

>>36022804
Where you at bruh? Subbase reporting.
>>36022746
I dont know how much you know about USAF Pararescue, but I was in that pipeline for about six months and absolutely bodyweight is the way to go. I have honestly never spent time in a gym to lift weights, but running/cals/endurance exercises are my forte. People laugh sometimes when I have to ask them what a fucking smith machine is, but then I laugh when I ask them how far they can ruck with 85 lbs on their backs. usually not very far.
>>36022804

Never seen so many newfags take bait like this. Good work OP.
>>36027415
The thing is, it is very possible for a Lt. To be this retarded
>>36022803
Oh, look at him. Hes trying to validate his weakness, by making his purpose of lifting for "team sport"?You sound pretty insecure about it.
Maybe that team sport is called "Taking it up my sissy ass until I can't walk"?
>any military
>Brazilian military
>Brazilian paratrooper
>in a country that since the start of its military tradition NEVER did a focus invasion or air invasion for taking land positions
>living off the status of being a paratrooper

Please, talk about being fit and keep the body in order, but don't bring up the military career. It is a joke and everyone inside the military is delusional till they have 20 years in and realize they sold their lives for nothing.
>>36027544

>11b first lieutenant with airborne tab
OP is a fucking liar.
First of all 11b is an Enlisted only MOS, the Officer (Lieutenant) version is 11a.
Second of all an airborne tab is not something any actual infantry lieutenant would brag about because literally EVERY SINGLE infantry officer goes to airborne school and most go a step further and graduate Ranger too before they even get to their first unit.
OP is not an officer in the US Army.
>>36027841
Not to mention the tab is unit dependent. You can be in the 82nd and have never gone to airborne school.
>>36025202
Pol if anything would be pro-military.
>>36023814
Powerlifting, or strength training in general, is for non-dyels who realised the best way to build muscle as a natural is to get strong as fuck and lift the big 3 more than twice a week.
>>36025172
>all the woman are putas
>woman putas
>putas
Your gf knows better lol
>>36022746
Deadlifts feel good though, that's the sole reason I do them.
Guns are banned in my shithole communist country, so I don't mind looking bigger and more intimidating. I also have no intention of joining the army.
>>36022746
Being a cardiobunny is only useful for basic.
You can do whatever you want to after and have no issues.
>>36022746
>ive just finished training and all ive done is basic bitch pt with an instructor and havent seen anyone lift because im so low on the food chain i haven't been exposed to a gym yet and i assume everyone does the same retarded pt in there own time that im forced to do every morning.
If you honestly think no grunts or sf are oly lifting and lifting heavy your a fucking idiot
>>36024183
so when will i be seeing you on tv or any athlete related media? oh wait...
>>36025082
>weighing 330 is good in combat situations.
>>36025365
fuck off walt
>11b first lieutenant
Yeah, no.
Also no ranger tab? Sure thing.
>>36023066
Her fucking arms are just as big as his.
>>36022746
>11b
>1LT
something doesn't add up, "sir" ;)
I am 11B in 2/75 and you have my word we lift all the god damn time. Cardio, push ups sit ups pull ups, and rucks are of course important for PT tests and schools but we all want to be big and strong like any other guy. It is true though that the big muscular guys do worse on PT tests, more weight to move
>>36030583
Also people were mentioning RAW but we never actually do that shit. Sometimes it will happen once or twice a year but I know guys who have been here for years and never had a RAW assessment. No one trains specifically for it.
>>36022803
I play rugby, compete in strongman and I'm in the OTC (bong version of ROTC basically). These things aren't mutually exclusive
>>36022746
Most people on /fit/ lift because it's a hobby, very few of us trying to join the military or get into fistfight, bud. And I'm pretty sure those that are know better anyway
>>36029134
But anti-anything that has a connection to the Jew
>>36022746
What he says >>36022847. Let me powerlift alone in the abyss.

Every american infantry officer learns to parachute? Thats pretty cool
