I think he does the pushups for his military training...I believe anyway.

Yup. Though it's hard to remember to do them. I'm sure some drill instructor will make me regret missing them too.

how much weight do you go up each week for your deads and squats?

If I hit my target reps, I can usually judge if I should go up 5 or 10 lbs next week.

stupid question, but i always wondered what the point was of building an incredible physique just to join the military and go be a faceless meatsack where you might die from a single bullet. Why not use it towards something more lucrative and rewarding like modeling or acting? If it's about pushing yourself to your ultimate limits, hire some big bad ass to kick your ass around, at least you know after it's all over and done with you wont end up with the potential of being in a position to have a missle dropped in on you.

Without sidetracking this thread too much, I'll say this...

I'm trying to get as big as possible because I know the 5 months on intensive training I'm going to go through will strip some weight off me. Hopefully, I'll lose more fat than muscle.

As for getting as big as possible even though 1 bullet can take you down... Well, you have a lot better chance of killing the enemy or getting away if you're in top physical condition. Guns and bullets are heavy.

Also, why drive your car knowing that a drunk driver could kill you in a matter of seconds.

If you think it's so easy to make a living as a model, then why don't you do it. I made some money at it in high school and even had a friend talk me into getting some pictures made last year. But it's tough and highly competitive.

Lastly, it's about service to country. Being the best warrior I can be to help protect my country from fuck sticks that attack us with planes.

B True - Yes, I have always thought about sled dragging. And I saw that recent thead about where to order a harness from. It's very interesting and I may give it a try in the next year or so. By the way, what's GPP?

That's just way way wayyyyyyyyyy too extreme of an analogy and I refuse to get suckered into answering it.

Wow so all you want to get big for is to channel all that time money and energy into killing a few lousy towelheads. Yay. I think you're better off to society, friends and family by not going that route, but hey if that's what you're into.

Burning - Look at it this way...

If I don't do it, who will?

Here are some good articles.

They discuss GPP, General Physical Preparedness. I could see this being good training for you when you have to hike, carry your weapons, etc... It is also very good strength cardio so to speak. It will get your muscles into shape.
