Awesome article.

What are you opinions on KB/DB swings?

I agree, it doesn’t matter how many pull-ups you can do if you can’t hold on to the bar long enough to do them.

So, I’m totally new to doing regular work outs and crossfit sounds like a good program. But when I went to their website, it was a bit intimidating and I could not find the beginners page. Is there some standard you need to achieve before starting the program or something? Advice anyone? Thanks! Oh and I need to get inshape to pass the ROTC scholarship PT test, if that affects the type of crossfit or something. Thanks!

Paul,

We’ve written an article awhile back on Mountain Athlete and Military Athlete, but wanted to keep this article without mention of a certain program.

Thanks for the addition,

I can’t believe no one here mentioned Military Athlete or Mountain Athlete. Its kina like crossfit, but with specific goals with a focus towards outdoorsmen, military/leo activity like humping in a-stan or climbing multiple 14ers in Colorado. Check out http://www.mtnathlete.com or http://www.militaryathlete.com

A lot of the military community is moving to include weight lifting in their fitness programs. People who do not spend some time at the weight pile can’t usually get there self over a wall while wearing body armor. They almost certainly can’t get their buddy (who is wearing 50lbs or kit) up onto their shoulder to fireman carry him. All sorts of little single muscle exercises and body weight stuff do not fill the role of big multi joint movements such as the dead lift, squat, power clean and shoulder press.
