I've done it in my university "Officer Training Corps"
Probably viewed by you guys as totally gay but we got basic infantry training, a bit of officery stuff and spent lots of time freezing to death in Crickhowell and Sennybridge in Wales - My idea of fun!
We also got paid for it - Result!

We cover most of that tbh as I've spent faaaar too long researching! I think I just about know every press up variation around with the one arm and Chinese press ups winning the "agony" prize even above handstand ones. Double (or triple if you're good) clap press ups are good too. The crun...

Running

Following on from the Martial Arts thread, as well as other training, I am now regularly doing a 2 mile run (1 mile, rest for a few minutes, a mile back - Distance measured on a bike computer) on a roughish, quite twisty and gravelly cycle path with a about 50m of uphill near the end (the Avon Cycle...

I see - So does the arrow indicate pressure in that direction?
Got stacks of press up variants but it's great to have some torturous ab stuff!

Nice one!

Martial arts help

Morning all - I posted a while back when I was mistakenly "Waltered" about the RM POC. Anyway, I teach kickboxing locally and have been seeking the advice of an Army mate (ex sniper and boxed for the Army, can't remember which regiment) on hideous exercises to "torture" my class....

Good on you for apologising Nocturnal and I'm NOT claiming to be ex Marines - As someone pointed out (rather harshly I think), I merely got over the first hurdle. To be honest, the fact that I went for a civvy job after all that effort probably means I wasn't right anyway. As for the fitness aspect ...

Want to know more?
Thought not. :lol:

Thanks for seeing the real side guys.
Off to polish my wheels now...

This guy is a night security man HOPING to be in the RAUXAF!! I'm a director of quite a decent company now and hav...
