Serious question. What the fuck kind of lifting do Marines do to get so jacked? Some kind of hypertrophy 3 sets of 12 per muscle group thing that hits every major muscle group twice a week? I'm tired of being small.

injecting gear 3 x 12 more like

As a former marine, when you live on base there's not a fucking thing to do besides lift, drink and buy groceries. Going off base and coming back is now a fucking hassle, can't do a damn thing without threats of being NJP'd or page 11'd, so I think that's a decently big part of it. A lot of marines are skinnyfat drunks who can score decently on a PFT.

This shit doesn't matter. Lifting increasingly heavy shit and you'll get bigger.

I'm a grad student with a gym conveniently close to me. The only constraints I have are that I have to work on my research, I have to time my lifting sessions around my meals, and I eat meals at my cafeteria but I make sensible choices and supplement accordingly. After a year and a bit I'm still not seeing that guy's results. What am I doing wrong, how should I be lifting? My routine is like this: KULKULx where K is kickboxing lessons, U is upper and L is lower. Upper is centered around bench and ohp for 5x5 or 5x10 alternating.

Too much cardio with out eating enough

>push ups, pull ups, sit ups, 3 mile run everyday

its not magic, look at pic

big: bi, tri, pec, abs
small: literally everything else

Work in Admin. Never do any actual work. Spend all day at the gym.
>>
>>36987501
What this guy said.
being active duty currently and working with Marines, They usually have nothing to do on base. Sometimes theyre on lock down and arent granted the same liberties. if youre on a military instillation where marines are, 9/10 the gym will be packed with them.
>>
>>36987742

Marines run literally every day on an empty stomach so I doubt I'm doing too much cardio by comparison.
>>
I met a marine in Hawaii and he said the fitness aspect of it was a joke. So any of those jacked guys aren't that way because of their military training.
>>
>>36987433
>What the fuck kind of lifting do Marines do to get so jacked?
Calisthenics/cardio in the morning 5x a week. Lift 6x a week. Supplement with "hikes" (walk at a bare minimum of 3 mph w/at least 60 pounds on your back) at the very least 10 miles a week. Take a week off every now and then just to walk around in a swamp. Throw in some test if you're not seeing results and you're tired of being the skinny boot.

At least that's what works in North Carolina.

>>36987433
steroids

lots of them, you will find out in basic where to get them
>>
>>36987863
Forgot to add, all that really matters is going to the gym, and the roids of course. There are plenty of disgustingly skinny and fat marines out there. There's no secret way to "get so jacked". Also, I think you'd be surprised how many marines frequent /fit/, I know I always am.
>>
>>36987866
no, you wont. Marines also have lots of room inspections, as well as health and comforts, which is a complete room search, they check your lockers, drawers, ceiling tiles. etc. doing roids in a barracks is hard to get passed people. When you get BAH though and live on your own its easier. This guy is probably natty or put some pro hormones intoa vitamin bottle.

I havent hit the fleet yet. Im down in Pensacola right now at flight school but I became hungry skeleton status at OCS and TBS.

No time at all to lift, obviously at OCS you are on their time and the workouts only make you weaker but even at TBS all my lifting was shit because I was exhausted all the time from studying.

Just getting my 365 bench now 12 months after joining.

The training the marines have you do does NOT have anything to do with the guys who are jacked. To be honest you can pretty accurately assume who has an 03 in front of their MOS by how big they are. The real grunts are usually the tiniest because of their training in infantry. Nobody is big down in the shit in a battlefield.

Biggest guys are usually the admin guys, no joke.

what are you going to be flying, have you picked yet?
should be transitioning soon.

>>36988143

Sweet, thanks for the info. 0311s can still crank out 20 pullups and run 18 minute 3 miles, right?
>>

Hold up there guy, it's the 0311's that are the hungry skeletons of the infantry since their SSGT and LT wants to run them 5 miles everyday.

Weapons companies are /fit/ incarnate; jacked homoerotic Marines who play grab ass all day when they aren't humping or in the field.

Most pogs are skinnyfat fucks who go to the gym occasionally but they're are some who go to the gym often as well. Mixed bag for them.
>>
I've just recently started going to the gym daily and I, by no means, consider myself big but most of the people I see there are pretty jacked.

Like other anons have stated; there's nothing to do. We have a lot of restrictions so eventually Marines realize all they can do is go to the gym.
>>
Just cause you're in the military doesn't mean you can't access steroids. Hell, in some cases it means you have easier access than civilians.
