That would be great man, ordering around the grunt while you get to get jacked in the gym. If you really want to pursue lifting I think that would be a much better path than going rangers. I feel like you would fighting a very uphill battle if you tried to lift and do rangers.

yeah everyone is telling me to go to college and get my degree and all that but honestly I want to be a doer not a leader right now, you know what I mean? Everyone has an excuse why they didnt get their goals, I dont want to be the guy that says I WOULD have been a ranger but.......

Good luck with the maritime academy though man I wish I had of looked into options like that. If I go to college I got it payed for and I'll be majoring in kineseology, but still nothing beats a hands on type experience like that. BTW, I turn 18 tomorrow sweet!

Yeah man go for the rangers it's obviously what you want to do you dont want to find yourself sat behind a desk with a pen and paper in some lecture day dreaming about what it COULD have been like if you did go to rangers.

Seems like your built for it too - tall and reasonably lean so good for running but also you will be alot stronger than the others your age and you seem to carry a good amount of strength without your bodyweight going up.

Thanks man that is my goal.....lean and strong. If I could bench 315, deadlift 500 and run 3 miles 18 minutes I would be set. The thing is I wont exactly be behind a desk if I do officer....I would likely be leading an infantry platoon in Afghanistan but if you want to do the door-kicking yourself you gotta enlist. It's such a hard choice because each has it's advantages. A guy I talked to who was a Sergeant in the rangers said go rotc, he said his life was hell for 4 years in rangers it was a really hard life

lmao when I was in lake tahoe my friend was wishing I was 18 so we could make a tabacco run. We'll see hahaha

BTW, since today is my 18th I think I am going to do a deadlift workout and try 455. I'll proly video it too, be aware I've never gone this heavy so my form will probably suck but I dont care I just want to get it

Comments: I literally have not gotten one bit stronger all summer. I havent even made any gains over the last month. I just stay at the same spot because I'm gone too much, miss too many workouts, and hike too much. Fuck..... I should have known right away this wasnt going to go well because 415 felt very heavy.

Andalite or someone do you have an idea for a routine of lifting 3 days a week that focuses on the essential and will allow me to get stronger while still doing that navy seal prep routine ghetto posted?

happy birthday bro!!!! don't worry about the workout, enjoy #18

At least you know why your strength isn't where it used to be... i'm sure once you go to college (or ROTC) you'll improve. That is if you're allowed to lift there

Thanks man! ROTC is a program you do in college, I got a 4 year scholarship which is actually pretty hard to get and so I will actually make money going to collge its completely free. It's either rotc or enlisting, with rotc I will have more time to enlist

BTW, I have to go to work today on my 18th I forgot to ask for the time off haha damn it

Hey em I looked back in my log and found this routine you mentioned which I wanted to do but want ready for it now I'm ready:

my opinion would be to really simplify your training and use mainly bodyweight exercises. You could do the big 4 lifts, and use bodyweight exercises as assistance:

Assistance to military and bench: dips, pullups, pushups, handstand pushups
Assistance to squat and deadlift: back extensions, natural GHR, walking lunges, box jumps

then hit bodyweight ab work - situp variations, hanging leg raises, planks

if I were you I would do somethng like this

Deadlift
Box Jump
Back extension

Military
Handstand Pushups
Dips

Squat
Natural GHR
Walking Lunge

Bench
Chins
Pushups

and abs whenever you like

you should try some hill sprints too

How does this look to you guys? I'm going to continue the navy routine ghetto gave me and try this maybe?
