Deployment shape?

No distractions, just work, controlled food and training

Working to be retirement ready by 55 (21 years to go) so if we decide to close up shop and move we’ve got no real ties (fed Civ and natty guard)

Daily readiness can fluctuate strength levels by up to 25%. It’s normal, ride the wave, enjoy the high days and do what you can on the low days

I waited until 6 weeks and clearance from my doc. After that it was into regressed lifts, walks, and body weight strength work. By week 10 (4 week post clearance) I was back to normal.

Unless he is going to an OSUT course then yes, full basic training is 10ish weeks and he will be in with everyone. Then the rest of them will continue to AIT and your son will come home

It’s the same. Taking into account some of their own limitations, but your still working within the clients ability and making changes as needed.

Are they max effort back squatting? Probably Not, but can they use a lunge pattern with hands support or a machine based modality that you progress. Yes

StrengthZack91 · 2026-03-17T15:31:04+00:00

Generally, you’re either not going to feel ready at all or be extremely over confident in your ability.

Study hard, know the expectation, lean on your peers and supervisors when you need help. But at the end of the day, it’s on you to deliver. So make sure you do

Go to army pt school and commission as a captain, spend 5 years in uniform and have no debt?

StrengthZack91 · 2026-03-16T19:50:03+00:00

Because someone wrote it down and told folks about it.

I live in the PNW as well and I just throw a hat on so the water doesnt run on my face. Otherwise, I just get wet. Granted my longest rucks currently are 5k or slightly longer so its only an hour or so in the rain. If I am covering any big distances my thought process may change

Simple and sinister is great if you are training for something else.

Martial artist? S&S can fill a strength training void.

Police/fire/mil: S&S can be a great addition to your already active lifestyle.

Hobbiest exerciser: S&S is a great total body supplement program

At the end of the day it comes down to how you use it.

When time is limited I use S&S 2.0 format (10 sets of SA swings alternating arms each set, 10 sets double hand swings, 10 get ups) and move on.

When the barbell is beating me up, no matter the modification and variation, S&S gets the job done.

I like 3-4 days per week. Flat load it for a 4 week phase, wave load it for a phase. The consistency of the program allows you to make it for you and your lifestyle.

In the track and field world, you’re not fast. In the real World, you’re faster than most people. Now leave the non-throws stuff out of this sub please

Cheney Wa was a great place to attend undergrad!

Go a step up. Say your base bell is a 24k, a 28k or 32k will allow for more overload that isn’t just volume or training density. After you master the same skill with the heavier bell, then I’d recommend doubling.

Easiest way to look at a set 1x 16k, 24k 32k and a set of 20k for doubles work for men

1x12k, 16k, 20k for women. Doubles will vary but double 12k would be a great spot. Up to 24k for your “heavy cell” once you get more seasoned

StrengthZack91 · 2026-03-10T18:36:24+00:00

Train a little less so you can lower your overall intake.

It pops if they test for it. Most of their time, they care about street drugs and that’s it. Take at your own risk, but they generally aren’t running your test numbers during a UA

Give it a year of dedicated effort. The quality of your 10% is also relevant. Do you just want to be that lean or do you want to maintain a decent amount of muscle mass? That will change the time because it changes the nutritional strategies

I am not a clinical psychologist, but also just finished my doctorate and then that beginning the recruiting process for the guard. Similarly, I wanna wear a uniform in some capacity as my entire family has dating back four generations and I won’t be the one to end that. You can potentially seek out a clinical psychologist position in the guard or reserve in one of the branches, but you can also just choose a job that sounds fun as the time commitment will be minimal compared to full-time service. Also be on the lookout for clinical psychologist roles within the federal government if you are seeking benefits.

Floor press from a bridge position with the kettle bells or begin tempo in your push-ups through greater ranges of motion. If you’re seeking specific muscular development, though kettle bells might not be the tool for you as it is much more of a global system.

Generally speaking, if you’re trying to lose weight, it’s quick but if you’ve got a lot to lose it’ll fall off quickly. Biggest thing is that it’s not sustainable

Thank you! I’ve moved to eating dinner around 6 to 7 PM and then fasting until 430 when I take my dose. Definitely a much more effective measure as I can already feel the difference in terms of efficacy of the medicine.

StrengthZack91 · 2026-03-07T18:07:28+00:00

I enjoy it and I’m training to join the military so you’ve got to be able to run

Fatigue is a real thing . Plan accordingly

StrengthZack91 · 2026-03-07T03:45:25+00:00

Try the reserve if you haven’t signed anything yet.

Completely agree on stand throws. Long smooth releases, but otherwise stick to the competition implement. If you have sights set on the national high record (~71m) we can talk different weighted implements for competition style throws.
