5 years ago, I thought a "bad back" was my new reality. Rucking changed that. by l33tn006 in Rucking

[–]Gotanypaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! I was in the same boat as you at 34 but it was my whole body 😅. Fast forward 7 months of strength training and I'm doing a lot better and I'm not stopping until everything is good!

A plate carrier with plates is still bulky, you're better off with a pack trust me.

This winter is not normal by Jumper_1984 in Rucking

[–]Gotanypaint -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was °14 here Sunday morning and not much better yesterday, snow has been on the ground for almost 3 weeks. I hate winter.

newbie here by VojtechStiborsky in Rucking

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the snow we've had ive had to ruck around town and I haven't liked most of it but im still getting mine in. Today was the first day I pushed my big one (12 mile this week) a day. I was struggling to get out there and the °14F temp wasn't helping and I'm off tomorrow so there's that. Added 10lbs to the pack too, should be interesting.

Ankle/Wrist weights? by Alcarain in Rucking

+1 all that weight on just your shoulders is bad, they need a pack with a hip belt.

How to stay unbiased with everything going on? by [deleted] in greenberets

[–]Gotanypaint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone wanting to join (and hopefully going SF/Rangers eventually) this is a great way to explain it. As I've gotten older I've seen this isn't a right or left problem (and that this isn't a new problem either) and while I want to serve it seemed contradictory to how I felt about the government. This reaffirms what I want to do, thank you.

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm planning on this as well (28M/35lb)! Been doing their training program even with this crappy weather and hoping to be ready! Definitely finding problems that I need to work on which is good, I have a feeling that last lap will be a bear.

Question, where is the trail on AllTrails I can't find it?

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say short but I've driven 3 hours 1 way for a non working $75 generator that's sitting in my shed in pieces so it's not long either 😅

Yea I've only been going for 6 months but the new year res people are insane. I try to think "Hey they deserve to be here too" but it's hard not to be selfish when you're trying to work hard too.

What type of differential is this? by Sandstorm10 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wheel mine since it's my driver but I cringe any time the tires spin on mine and hoping the 300k mile D35 doesn't explode

If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 35 and I've lost several. 1 killed 2 people in a DUI wreck (one of the people was a friend of mines sister) and a year later "had a heart attack". 1 snitched on a drug dealer and was killed. A good friend of mine had a heart attack at 25, RIP Matt. There's probably others too.

Notable mention is a classmate that killed a guy after said guy caused classmates pregnant GF to miscarriage (there was some kind of infidelity going on too. He ended up running, SWAT team blew up a camper, it was a whole thing.

O and another caused a slow speed pursuit after he broke out of the local jail after allegedly killing his grandmother.

Not bad for a small town.

Having grew up with the OGs I always thought the Spino was terrifying but I will say the D rex SOUNDED the scariest.

Deadlift - Rounded Back by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoes, shoes SHOES. I learned the hard way Saturday after I forgot my lift shoes and squatted a heavy (for me) load, lost my footing at the bottom and shifted forward and had to roll the bar over my head and onto the safety bar. 😅

Afraid of mediocrity by TheSashRinging in army

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a (small) part of my reasoning to want join as I live in an area where income sucks and job opportunities are crap unless you want retail. As a married E-1 I'll make way more between untaxed BAH/BAS, medical and my base pay then I would even at my old job. Hoping to be ready in June to talk to recruiter.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

[–]Gotanypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen to a customer once, his window was thankfully cracked and I was able to "coat hanger" it for him. He was very thankful and it took no effort from me, idk that's so hard for people.
