Well, that explains that. Hope you haterz are satisfied.

I'm sure she'd have zero problems working out a trade.Does anyone happen to go to the Tampa/Westchase YMCA on Linebaugh? I can't afford to join a group CrossFit (want to, but not in the budget), and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up for some WoDs?

Shit yeah. Try timed sets of Hail Mary's. Also doing the Apostle's Creed for time will make you cough up a hairball.CP wrote:

They think it's the best system for everything and end up lumping LE, military, firefighters, prison guards etc all into the same group. If they think the fitness require to walk 40k carrying all your ammunition, food, water, radios etc is the same as the fitness required for a prison guard or a SWAT team member they are quite simply on drugs. Probably crack.
Aren't they?

Comments here: http://www.militarytimes.com/forums/sho ... ?t=1561150The all-new CFT
The test is separated into three parts:
* The 880-yard sprint. Designed to simulate “movement to contact,” Marines will be timed running in a straight line. How difficult is it? Think of it as a half-mile run. To put it into Olympic terms, that’s roughly two laps around a standard outdoor track, 800 meters. World records in the 800-meter sprint come in at less than two minutes for men and women.
* The “ammo can lift.” Marines will lift a 30-pound ammunition box from a starting position of chest level to above the head with both arms extended. Need a weight comparison? A Modular Tactical Vest, loaded with front, back and side plates, weighs about 25 pounds. Marines will repeat the lift for a set time period, likely two minutes. Scores are based on the number of lifts performed in that set time period, but the scoring system is not yet approved.
* The “maneuver under fire” drill. The most comprehensive section of the CFT will be a four-part obstacle course that will include sprinting, throwing a grenade, running with two ammo cans and moving a mock casualty.
“Extra [physical training] time isn’t going to be necessary. But Marines should re-engineer their own fitness routines for greater benefit,” McGuire said.
For example, interval training — quick sprints mixed in with brief cool-down exercises — will better help Marines prepare for the intense, anaerobic demands of the CFT. The latest fitness research suggests that shorter, more-intense bursts of exercise are a better form of conditioning than long-range, low-impact endurance training, McGuire said.
“We see Marines starting to incorporate this into their training. The value in the CFT isn’t necessarily in the test itself, but the value is in preparing for it and incorporating these elements into their combat conditioning,” McGuire said.
During preliminary testing in recent months, the second part of the CFT — requiring the repeated lift of the ammo can — proved to be “a surprise to some Marines,” McGuire said..
“They looked at 30 pounds and they think, ‘This isn’t a fully loaded-up bar.’ But doing it for two minutes is a challenge that some Marines aren’t familiar with,” McGuire said. “Lifting something might seem light, but over time, it becomes heavy.”

The link in humans between the physiological and the psychological realms has been
well established in science and medicine. This link has particular relevance to the
development and preparation of Marines for battle. Combat stress is both physical and
mental—and very real. Marines can sustain both physical and mental injuries in combat.
Rigorous exercise can prepare Marines for these forms of battlefield stress by making
them physically and mentally tougher. The stress of functional fitness can elicit both
physiological and psychological adaptation. The principle here is that body can be
conditioned to better handle combat stress. A Functional Fitness Program can play an
important role in this pre-combat conditioning by applying a “combat-like” form of stress
on the human system—using rigorous exercise that mimics or mirrors combat function.
