Pat Mac interview on In Range TV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFjyYm61nOI
That guy is fucking awesome. I really like how he said "I'm just a civilian now" he seems to have completely avoided the Larry V. and other fucktards blunder of insisting he's THE final word because of his experiences. Seems like an incredibly wise guy.
>>28542284
This is where the quote on the wall is from BTW. Before someone asks.
Also, more Pat MacNamara video.
>Does your range drill include pushing trucks?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq-hQYcoVmw
No love for Pat? The guy did spoopy shit during the cold war and rappelled out of helicopters with an M16A1.
>>28542284
He comes off as very level in his videos, and definitely has an imposing physical presence.
I bet he's seen some shit too
>>28542284
>pat macnamara
>ian interviewing him

>>28542648
I don't know who he is and I'm on such a shitty connection at the moment that I can't watch the videos. Will watch later when I get home.
>>28542691
It's worth the time, he's cool as fuck.
>>28542662
No shit, he's like a way more intense version of a Jedi.
You seen his military career? Fucking spied on the KGB, did all kinds of operator shit during the Cold War, supported CIA operations behind the Iron Curtain, and THEN he joined Delta.
>>28542731
I'd much rather have Macnamara around than a Jedi
Jedi can use the force
Macnamara IS a force
>>28542779
So a Jedi can use Mcnamara?
>>28542779
Heh, no shit
>Gonna do this rifle to pistol transition
>*Starts walking to shooting position
>Actually, let's make it harder
>Speed climbs a 30' free hanging rope and pushes a fucking full sized truck off the range
>Runs the rifle-pistol drill
>>28542680
I like how Karl was looking up to him like a kid.
I guess we know why he;s not as fat as when InRange started.
Pat is actually one of the patron Saints of The /k/ube
>>28542801
They probably would not survive the attempt
I can't find the video but he's also a pretty good artist. He mentioned it in this interview and I was expecting some 10/10 "I'm deep" level cringe, but it was actually pretty cool.
>>28542284
>10 minute video
>Says only, "develop muscle memory"
Almost as pedantic as a Nutn'fancy video.
>>28542381
Well, at least he can definitely walk the walk.
>>28543033
He says more than that, you just didn't listen.
>>28542935
Seriously? I need to see that if you can find it. I'd love to see some of his work.
>InB4 he stands a HVT in front of a canvas, blasts him with black paint to create a silhouette, then plugs him in the skull with a .45 to create a death image complete with bullet hole and blood spray.
>>28543143
>stands a HVT in front of a canvas, blasts him with black paint to create a silhouette, then plugs him in the skull with a .45 to create a death image complete with bullet hole and blood spray.
That would be metal as fuck.
Based Pat
Couldn't they find a more quiet place to talk?
>>28543577
That full auto burst made me laugh.
>>28543576
The man got more intense with age jesus. How old is he?
Has a damn good fitness program too. Really pushes the PT. Which i like because it reallyouts the wannabe's.
Dude is a fucking beast at almost 50yo.

Ive seen a pic he did of a delta operator from the eighties or ninties. They were running a 1911 with a comp and a huge light.

Damn good stuff.
His eyes look like he's always moments away from going berserk and eating someone's face
>>28544010
And yet he's the coolest guy and seems to be genuinely supportive of people that are working to improve. Even if they're on the shitty side of physical.
You seen his SENTINEL stuff?
>>28544001
Fuck man.
>Oh sweet! I want to try some of
>Workout I can't physically do
>Another I can't physically do
>Some shit I don't have the upper body for
Well... fuck. Guess I'll go do some push-ups.
>>28544292
Nothing is stopping you from getting to that point (barring injury of course)
>>28544338
I know, hence the push-ups. Just drives me nuts when I look at these workouts and realize I can't even participate because I can't do a single rep.

That was the first McNamara video I'd ever seen

I think if this guy came up to me and said "I wanna fuck you in the ass", the toughest thing I'd be able to say back would be "for how long"
I hope I can keep that kind of fitness into my late 40s. Im in my mid 30s and while I still row, rock climb, and cross country a lot, every year it seems a little harder and takes a little more effort to better myself.
Pat MacNamara... Truly an inspiration.

Ive been doing 400 crunches, 400 pushups and 100 pullups nearly every day since high school.
easy peasy, I'm not ripped by any measure, but have been wearing the same sized jeans for the past 30 years.
Haven't been able to run since '97 due to car accident though.
Just find a quick and dirty regimen and hold onto it like grim death.

I can't do that. I'm a stocky 6'4". I don't mean fat, I mean I'm not lanky and have a thick core. I'm probably around 12-13% right now (after the holidays). I usually dip into the single digits in the summer time. HGH would be too much and too obvious. Looking at other things though. Already have 3 kids, so I'm not worried about that.

I was in a military bus accident a few years ago, mri showed no hard damamge, but back still goes completely out every few months (soft tissue damage idk?) I was also in some pretty big ass physical brawls, like hundreds of people. I can't afford chiropractor, and dealing with the VA sickens me so I haven't followed through with care.
I'm explain that to ask this, can i get into heavy working out again you think without fucking myself more? I'd avoid days I was really hurting, I just don't want to add to my long term problems.
>inb4 goto a doctor
Nigga, I am poor af, and my local VA really can't be assed to see anyone that ain't dying.
>>28542284
Comparing this guy to Larry Vickers is pretty wild. I mean they're both about the same age, did the same kind of shit, and Pat MacNamara is in far better shape, has a better mindset, and isn't a shilling old fart.
>>28544483
holy shit that devious grin he gets when the interviewer brings up the combat strength training.

>>28547336
Was your bus a white navy bus driven by and filled with soldiers? If I remember right, the accident happened because some fuckhead dropped his binos out the humvee, then pulled over. Then the bus behind him (practicing our convoy SOP of course) pulls over too, my bus didn't notice until almost crashing into the first bus. Veers off into incoming traffic on two wheels, past pulled over bus and humvee, back into correct lane still on two wheels, then does this all again then finally flips the bitch on its side at 60 mph.
At least we'd just done our roll over training.

Absolutely. He has some off the wall training that really seems like it would fuck with your sense of comfort and normalcy, which would be good to change it up. Beyond that he's a very fast and accurate shooter. Beyond that his personality, energy and awesome fantasy version of English is all a selling point for me.

>>28547392
I was actually just trying to troll you but I guess I did a bad job. Seriously though, look into your tricare benefits if you can get them. I work in medical insurance and tricare covers vets well for shit like physical therapy and pain management. The VA is a shitstorm though

>>28547548
idk, I looked into benefits once, but it was a real labyrinth of bureaucratic stuff I don't understand. I can still sorta work so I do what I can just not what I used to do. I'm sure I'll die in my 40s from the chemical exposures anyway, so I've been saying fuck it. After we got back from astan my fiance and I broke it off and I became a miserable drunk for like 2 years, I think I squandered my chance at tricare and any benefits.
Not a dime from the government since I ets'd. At least I can say that.
But you're probably right, I should do something before I fall apart. I can start on that power yoga stuff soon though, so that's cool.
>>28547629
Get. Tricare. Standard. $150 annual deductible then you pay 20% on medical expenses. It'll at least get your sorry ass into physical therapy

>bird-watching
I fuckin' died! Who woulda thunk it? If Pat McNamara showed up to a birding event I was assisting with it would be the most surreal shit on Earth.
>>28548240
Only tryhards would get upset over it.
Normal people have hobbies. And someone with actual masculinity won't need to apply it to everything they do.
>>28548277
Most people who bird-watch are all older retired white suburbanites who treat it as a social event and light exercise. It would be hilarious to see him next to all these little old ladies and their husbands. He would stick out like a sore thumb, and it would be great.
I don't know, I guess I'm just surprised one of his hobbies overlaps with mine, and even though he could obviously tear the top half a man's face off with his bare hands he still feels the need to preface his hobby in a way as if he's anticipating people would think him less badass for engaging in it.
>>28548474
>next to old ladies
Worthwhile bird watchers go out in the fucking woods. Not some park that the elderly can access.
>>28548576

wew calm down lad
>>28547465
Paul Howe is also built like a brick shithouse despite being in his fifties.
>>28548240
The crazy thing is, he brings the same intensity to birdwatching as he does to everything else. I remember in one of his interviews he talks about stalking a certain bird for 3 days just to get a perfect still photograph of it.
>>28544010
He's one of those people who can flip the switch and go kill the enemy then have a beer after.

>THAT RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET NEVER STOOD A CHANCE...of not getting spotted
>>28549453
The silly thing is, Ruby-Crowned Kinglets aren't even an uncommon bird. They are totally adorable though. The smallest birds that I work with on a regular basis, 'til they depart for the north once it gets warm again anyway.
This time of year I can go innawoods and generally ferret one out in a few minutes, so to be innawoods for days to get the perfect shot of one is pretty intense and crazy in a way I can totally get behind.

They do. Shorter guys tend to struggle like big guys in selection. Shorter guys tend to have the napoleon complex, and it gets them injured and wash out on medical. Big guys burn too many calories and subsequently lose steam sooner than others. It gets to them psychologically worse than others.
Dead average 5'11 to 6'1 guys are the most likely to pass.
>>28552053
>Shorter guys tend to have the napoleon complex
>Manlet here, I can keep my ego in check but ruckmarching with tall guys still fucking sucks. That's just life. You cover off or you wash out.

This. You can even do it in a mall early in the morning when old people are walking, and make them feel old and bad.

>>28547282
He's actually 5'11", 205lbs.
>>28546777
Vickers is pretty fucked up on the skeletal front, and it seems like he sort've lost his way after he got out. Didn't know what to do with himself. He's hanging with MacNamara for the first time since they were both in, and I think Larry just needed an adjustment and some help. He seems to be improving.

Well, judging from her last name, she's probably his wife now. Also, if it's the video I think it is, i think a guy studying psych commented that Pat sounded like a classic case of a psychopath, and things just went from there.

Not having "Shoot to Thrill" and "Wild Side" on your workout playlist is a crime punishable by 10 minutes of moutain climbers with White Snake...
>>28554385
I... don't have either on my Playlist.
>Fuck it I need to do Mt climbers anyway.
Does anybody here do their own HIIT stuff? Was looking into crossfucked but that shit looks like an injury factory.
>>28554453
>I... don't have either on my Playlist.
I added them to my playlist and had girls with 80's hair running up to me trying to suck me off while I was running!!! Seriously great 80's songs that are awesome need to be on everyone's playlist just because when you are about to die its funny to have 4 dudes dressed like <picture related> trying to be hard, singing at you.
Crossfit can be fine, most of their gyms are good, the price is kinda stupid. Really most of the hate is from olympic lifters(and they have real concerns that are valid) I would look into combat oriented HIIT training or get some workout DVD's that are HIIT oriented to get you started. You can search amazon and read some reviews to find what you like.
You can download Pat Macs workout here

This works really fucking well. I come from a flatass podunk bayou with no hills, so when I was training myself up to hike the Appalachian trail with it's mountains and shit somebody suggested I run stairs.
I went to a highschool football stadium and just ran up and down the steps of the stadium's bleachers. It worked muscles I didn't even know I had.

Strengthen your core, and your back. Whatever core exercises you can do, do them. If you cant do soem of them, the ones you CAN do will pick up the slack. Eventually, start trying to do back exercises, like deadlifts, squats and good mornings.
At first, just do bodyweight squats, bodyweight deadlifts ( just do the motions). Learn to TIGHTEN THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR CORE while you lift. Engage your abs, back and ass muscles while you lift.
Your core muscles are nature's weightlifting belt. Get the muscles so that when you flex the core, it stabilizes everything else ( namely your spine, discs, etc).
Once your core is better start deadlifts, good mornings,etc. Start with like literally 5 lbs, and move up 5lbs a week. Do lots of reps with light weight, and perfect form. ENGAGE THE CORE while doing so.
If you are anything like me ( multi disc herniation and sciatica), then you will go from not being able to lift 45lbs off the ground to deadlifting 395lbs like I just did tonight. Took me about two years now, no shit.
Oh, swimming helps massively too.

This is like my worst fear times 10. Very leery of other people, on the road, at the range, just so much stupid all the time.

The intensity in wildlife photographers is something I understand but could never internalize, had a chemistry teacher who went out in the field for 3 days longer than he counted for becasue he was on the track of a Mexican grey wolf.
>>28552053
So would the big guys do better if they were allowed to eat more?
>>28564618
You should look up guys who build blinds with beds and living conditions who spend weeks at a time trying to get photos of wildlife like Bence Mate. It's kinda addicting when you're trying to get that one good shot of an often moving animal who could possibly bolt if they see you.

Howe, Avery, McNamara, Miculek and Hodnett could turn just about anyone into a world class shooter/gunfighter given the time, effort and a base level of competence from the trainee. Literally about the most well rounded list for most people's needs possible. Two established, veteran top shelf literal operators who can give you invaluable lessons in how to stay alive in a gunfight or related shitty situations.
A police/general shooting veteran who can also provide useful tips on staying alive, but brings some of the most competent pistol instruction available. The dude's ability to transfer knowledge is unmatched.
An awesome older man and one of the most seasoned competitive shooters in the world. Gotta go fast.
A top shelf long range and precision instructor. Like Avery in his ability to transfer knowledge quickly and effectively.
Zero. Guaranteed fun and guaranteed to learn something, but not in the same class as any of the above

Point of selection isn't to make you anything, it's to find out if you have the potential. So if you want to eat big and get big it'll have to wait till you pass.
>>28566818
Looks like a lot of guys make that decision too.
>>28566818
So they should be smaller to do the test to see if they can cut being super soldiers, but then change their bodies dramatically after when they are super soldiers?
Why not just let them eat more during selection? I am genuinely curious. I'm looking at it this way, if they are supposed to be able so live off fewer calories for a length of time, then those guys who go huge after they are SOF will be defeating that purpose.
>>28568797
Selection is that long
After selection you can dedicate all the time you need to getting big.
>>28568870
You aren't understanding me holy fuck.
If they are allowed to become huge af and require ALOT more calories day-to-day after selection, why not let them meet the caloric needs during selection too, if they are giants?
It would make sense to limit SOF people who only need X calories day to day during selection if they were expected to hold that standard AFTER too. But since they don't... why?
>>28568797
For one, it detracts from the selection process. The whole point of selection is that you aren't shit until you pass, so if the cadre has to provide extra food for big guys or reduce ruck weights for little guys, that kind of defeats the point. Plus it's supposed to provide a serious challenge, one that you don't know if you can pass, so if you feel like you're getting any concessions from the cadre that undermines the purpose.
It also provides a bit of a gut check for people. By providing standard physical challenges across the board (caloric intake, ruck weight, distances run, etc.) you learn more about your own weaknesses and strengths.
Once you prove you have what it takes, people trust you to make your own decisions about your weight, within reason. It's rare that people become 350lb man mountains, unless they're 7'1" or something. At 5'11" 205lbs Pat Mac is fairly representative. Mike Pannone (former Marine Force Recon and later Delta operator) was 5'8" and 200lbs while on the job, but has said that he probably should have stayed lighter, around 180lbs.
>>28568964
But a man mountain ain't nothing to fuck with.

Why is /k/ all of a sudden all about Ian, ForgottenWeapons and InRange?
I mean they're cool and all but every time they post something it's posted here. Sometimes even in multiple threads.
What mage FW so popular here? I remember few years back when they had like 10k subs max. Now it's all over the place.
>>28571234
It steadily grew in popularity but the most reacent thing i can think of why they would be a subject of discussion is the AR/AK mud test that is rather controversial.

The problem with the guy who is studying psych is he's not licensed and every psych 101 student goes around campus after the semesters over analyzing people off a few seconds of interactions and half-assed observations. The fact that he's saying psychopath means he doesn't know what the fuck hes talking about or that his community college hasn't updated their textbooks in a while.
However, there were the books "On Killing" and "On Combat" that tried to draw a conclusion that service members in those units tend to have a bit of antisocial personality disorder, but just enough that they can still function with minimal impact from post traumatic stress related issues. I'm not too sure on the credibility of the author because he was playing the hot topic at the time of vidya causing kids to go kill people. That and he kept on referring to himself as an airborne ranger, instead of the proper airborne (qualified) ranger (tabbed).
>>28546688
I've got similar shit like that - xrays show nothing and va doesn't want to MRI because of prices. Even get loss of feeling in my toes after what feels like shocks down the back of my legs. Have to appeal the VA, tho I fear I'm gonna lose.
Listen to >>28561706
I feared deadlifts after the injury because I didn't know if I would end up even more fucked up, but I just started small and built up. I feel like I got initially injured from having a weak core, so i rarely trained on it and just did the other muscle groups.
My back doesn't go out as frequently (although it still happens) and it helps you with other lifts.
>>28569134

Find a VA orthopedist and if the person behind the phone or desk gapes like a gormless moron because they couldn't find one in a dictionary look for support groups that will help you. VA has probaly killed more niggas than the Taliban but if you can work the game you have a good chance.

But you don't get to chose if you join delta, delta choses you.
>>28578617

In response to anons comment on spec ops guys having antisocial personality disorders. Fallon mentions at the end of the first video you are likely to see these kinds of traits in spec ops guys.
Also,
>>28591090
Seeing as he's the leading neuroscientist working in this area, it seems he would be an authority on the subject....
>>28594612
>Ask operators if you can analyze them
>Get a polite "Fuck off" because nobody likes shrinks
>Must mean they're fucked in the head
>>28595036
But Fallon didn't even do that. He just pointed out it could be an explanation for their behavior/traits at the end of one of his talks. Like I said, it could explain a lot if correct. He isn't a shrink either, he does neuroscience based psychiatry, i.e. PET scans. That's how he found out he had the brain of a psychopath, and to find out if oper8ors do too would require taking PET scans of them as well.
>>28542284
